Panel advances measure to adjust school assessment timing beginning in '2627' school year
Summary
Pro Tim Moore presented HB 43 59 to require certain assessments to be administered in a revised window 'beginning with the 2627 school year'; members asked about scheduling for schools that dismiss late in May, sponsor was open to discussion, and the committee passed the bill (11-0).
Pro Tim Moore introduced House Bill 43 59, saying the bill would require, beginning with the '2627' school year, that schools administer specified assessments in a particular window after May but prior to the end of May (transcript wording: "to be administered after the May but prior to the May"). The chair asked whether the committee would consider accommodations for schools that dismiss students in the last three or four weeks of May; Moore said he was willing to entertain those conversations and noted he had received a parent text praising the bill for preserving summertime.
After brief questions, the committee moved the bill, opened and closed the roll, and the chair announced the bill passed with 11 ayes and 0 nays. The committee then proceeded to the oversight process and thanked the sponsor.
