Introduced by: J. Paul Councill, Jr. | all patrons ... notes | add to my profiles | history
SUMMARY AS PASSED:
School report cards. Provides that the Board of Education, in setting criteria for recognizing educational performance of school divisions, shall include consideration of special school division accomplishments, such as numbers of dual enrollments and students in advanced placement (AP) and International Baccalaureate courses, and participation in academic year Governor’s Schools.
Currently, the Standards of Accreditation direct each public school to provide annually to parents a School Performance Report Card (8 VAC 20-131-270) that includes a variety of test scores, student attendance rates, and incidents of physical violence and weapon possession occurring at school. In addition, secondary schools are to report the number and percentage of students taking AP courses and the number and percentage of those earning a score of 3 or better on AP tests; the number and percentage of students taking college-level courses and the number and percentage of those students passing at least one such course; the number of Standard, Advanced Studies, Special and International Baccalaureate Diplomas, as well as Certificates of Program Completion and GED certificates; dropout rates; and the accreditation rating awarded to the school for the current and previous three years. The bill contains technical amendments. Additional technical amendments correct errors regarding the phase-out of the Literacy Passport Test.
