What’s in it

This bill modifies testing requirements applicable to pupils who are participating in the education savings account program. Current law requires each pupil participating in the education savings account program to take all applicable state and federally required student assessments. The bill modifies this provision to provide that each such pupil is required to take either all applicable state and federally required student assessments or standardized, nationally norm-referenced student assessments in mathematics and English language arts in the same grades as comparable tests are administered under federal law.
