Senate unanimously concurs in Assembly amendments to SB 1067, setting K–2 math assessment framework
Summary
Senate concurred unanimously in Assembly amendments to SB 1067, a bill to create a statewide K–2 math diagnostic assessment framework and clarify roles between the State Board of Education and CDE; sponsors said the measure supports early interventions to improve math outcomes.
Senators moved quickly to concur in Assembly amendments to SB 1067, which would establish an annual mathematics assessment framework for students in kindergarten through 2nd grade beginning in 2028–29. Senator Weber Pearson presented the set of concurrence amendments and explained that the changes clarify implementation, distinguish the math diagnostic from reading screening requirements, and set timelines for the California Department of Education to prepare implementation resources.
"This bill, beginning in 2028–29 school year, will establish a statewide framework for annual mathematics assessment for our students in kindergarten through 2nd grade," the sponsor said in presenting the amendments. Supporters described the bill as a piece of a broader strategy to increase math readiness and said it would improve early interventions.
Senators spoke in favor on the floor and there were no recorded opposing statements; the Senate recorded a unanimous roll call on concurrence (Ayes 40, Noes 0). The Assembly amendments were concurred in, and the bill will proceed under the usual concurrence/third‑reading procedures.
