Pupil assessments: Measurement of Academic Performance and Progress: school district opt out.

Existing law establishes the Measurement of Academic Performance and Progress (MAPP) and requires the first full administration of assessments aligned to the common core standards in English language arts and mathematics to occur in the 2014–15 school year unless the State Board of Education determines that the assessments cannot be fully implemented. This bill would authorize a school district to delay until the 2015–16 school year the administration of any assessment aligned to the common core academic content standards in English language arts and mathematics, including, but not limited to, any MAPP assessment. The bill would authorize a school district that delays administration to administer a standards-based achievement test pursuant to the former Standardized Testing and Reporting Program, which was repealed on January 1, 2014.
