Introduced by: Irene Shin | all patrons    ...    notes | add to my profiles

SUMMARY AS INTRODUCED:

Public high school students; civics benchmark assessment. Requires the Board of Education to develop and make available to each school board a civics benchmark assessment and requires each school board to require each public high school student enrolled in the local school division, except in the case of a public high school student whose individualized education program indicates otherwise, to take such assessment at least once during grades nine through 12. The bill requires the Board to annually report to the Governor and the General Assembly the state-level and school division-level student results on such benchmark assessment in order to aid decision-making regarding any policy changes that may be necessary to improve student learning in civics.
