Pupil assessment: records: disclosure.

Existing law requires that each pupil have an individual record of accomplishment by the end of grade 12 that includes the results of the achievement test required and administered annually as part of the Standardized Testing and Reporting (STAR) Program, results of end-of-course exams he or she has taken, and the vocational education certification exams he or she chose to take. This bill would authorize the State Board of Education, the State Department of Education, or a local educational agency to disclose, pursuant to the California Public Records Act, assessment results that indicate the percentage of pupils that attained the proficient and advanced performance levels, aggregated at the classroom level, provided that the state board, department, or local educational agency has possession of the data, and that the data are not subject to an exemption under the California Public Records Act. The bill would prohibit individual pupil test scores, pupil identities, and personal directory information of teachers from being disclosed. The bill would state that its provisions are declaratory of existing law.
