HB 2115: Statewide student assessment

Concerning legislative review of performance standards for the statewide student assessment.

Summary

  • Provides that the Legislature must be advised of the initial performance standards established by the State Board of Education (SBE) for the high school statewide assessment, rather than requiring that the initial standards be presented to the education committees by November 30 of the year they take effect.
  • Requires that the SBE provide an explanation of performance standards when they are established, and if changes are made, the Office of the Superintendent of Public Instruction must recalculate the results from that assessment for the previous 10 years and post a comparison of the results on the agency website.
