An Act ...; relating to: the budget.
Analysis by the Legislative Reference Bureau
education
Primary and secondary education
Current law requires the State Superintendent of Public Instruction (state superintendent) to approve examinations for measuring pupil attainment of knowledge and concepts. With certain exceptions, current law requires school districts, participating private schools, and independent charter schools to administer the examination approved by the state superintendent. This bill prohibits the state superintendent from approving examinations developed by the Smarter Balanced Assessment Consortium.
This bill requires the UW-Madison Value-Added Research Center (VARC) to approve at least three but no more than five alternative examinations determined to be acceptable for statistical comparison with the examination approved by the state superintendent. Beginning in the 2015-16 school year, a school may administer an alternative examination approved by VARC instead of the examination approved by the state superintendent if the school notifies the state superintendent that it intends to do so.
Current law requires DPI to annually prepare accountability reports that evaluate the performance and improvement of each school and school district in the state and, beginning in the 2015-16 school year, of each participating private school and independent charter school. DPI must place each school and school district into one of five performance categories based on certain measures including pupil achievement in reading and mathematics.
This bill replaces the performance categories with letter grades and makes changes to the measures used to determine school performance and school district improvement. Under the bill, in determining a school's performance or a school district's improvement, DPI must take into account the percentage of economically disadvantaged pupils enrolled in the school or school district and the length of time a pupil was enrolled in the school or school district. Each school must provide a copy of the school's accountability report to the parent or guardian of each pupil enrolled in the school.
Current law requires each school district, participating private school, and independent charter school to adopt pupil academic standards, and permits the schools to adopt academic standards approved by the state superintendent. The state superintendent has adopted academic standards, in mathematics and in English and language arts, developed by the Common Core State Standards Initiative (common core standards). This bill prohibits the state superintendent from giving effect to any common core standards currently in effect, and prohibits the state superintendent from adopting or implementing any new common core standards. The bill also prohibits the state superintendent from requiring a school district to adopt or implement any common core standard.
This bill requires each school board to annually provide to the parent or guardian of each child who resides within the school district of the educational options available to that child, and to post this information on the school district's Internet site. The bill requires the state superintendent to provide this same information, on a statewide basis, on DPI's Internet site.
