Became Law

Board of Education; School Performance and Support Framework; certain changes. Requires the Board of Education to consider certain enumerated changes to the School Performance and Support Framework that it adopted in order to implement its school accountability standards, including developing and applying new school performance label terminology that more clearly communicates school performance as part of a continuous scale and rebalancing the weight assigned to growth, at least equally with proficiency, to more fully account for each school's contribution to student learning. This bill incorporates HB 1323 and is a recommendation of the Joint Legislative Audit and Review Commission.
