Current law requires the state superintendent of public instruction to adopt examinations to measure pupil attainment of knowledge and concepts in grades four, eight, and ten. Current law also requires the school board of each school district, the operator of each charter school, and the governing body of each private school participating in either the Milwaukee or Racine parental choice program to administer the adopted examinations to pupils enrolled in those grades in each school in the district, in the charter school, and in the participating private school, respectively.
This bill requires the state superintendent of public instruction to adopt examinations to be administered, beginning in the 2014-15 school year, to pupils in grades nine and eleven in the same manner as examinations are administered to pupils in grades four, eight, and ten.
