Under current law, the state superintendent of public instruction (superintendent) must adopt examinations to measure pupil attainment of knowledge and concepts in grades four, eight, nine, ten, and eleven. Current law requires a school board, operator of a charter school, and governing body of a private school participating in a parental choice program to administer the ninth grade examination once in the fall session and once in the spring session. This bill eliminates the requirement to administer the ninth grade examination in the fall session.
The people of the state of Wisconsin, represented in senate and assembly, do enact as follows:
