Study; task force on assessments for students in special education. Creates an eight-member special task force composed of members of the Commission on Educational Accountability to examine the need for appropriate alternative forms of Standards of Learning assessments for students receiving special education and related services and to continue the work of the Joint Subcommittee on Remediation. The special task force is to consider, among other things, current state-of-the-arttesting and assessment of students receiving special education and related services; the development of appropriate forms of Standards of Learning assessments that will provide students receiving special education and related services with a range of modifications and accommodations to meet their educational needs; and such other issues as it deems appropriate. However, notwithstanding the provisions of SJR 498 (1999), citizen members and members of the House of Delegates appointed by the Speaker to the Commission on Educational Accountability, pursuant to SJR 498 (1999), shall be subject to reappointment or replacement by the Speaker of the House. Members of the House of Delegates shall be appointed in accordance with the principles of Rule 16 of the Rules of the House of Delegates. With regard to the continuation of the work of the Joint Subcommittee on Remediation, the Commission shall become familiar with the issues and policies regarding the joint subcommittee's work and its subsequent findings and recommendations throughout the course of its study so that efforts are not duplicated, and complete the objectives in the joint subcommittee's work plan for 2000. The special task force shall regularly apprise the Commission on Educational Accountability regarding its deliberations, findings, and recommendations on a schedule to be determined by the Commission. This resolution incorporates HJR 273.
