Pupil assessment: grade II: reported as local academic indicator.

Existing law establishes a system of public elementary and secondary education in this state, through which local educational agencies throughout the state provide instruction in kindergarten and grades 1 to 12, inclusive, at the schools they operate. Existing law establishes the California Assessment of Student Performance and Progress (CAASPP) as the statewide system of pupil assessments, under which various assessments are required or authorized to be administered in public schools, as specified. Existing law requires, on or before October 1, 2016, the State Board of Education to adopt evaluation rubrics for specified purposes. Pursuant to this requirement, the state board adopted evaluation rubrics in September 2016 and created the California School Dashboard, which is a graphically presented, publicly accessible interface that displays school performance data based on the evaluation rubrics. This bill would provide that, if administered to all grade 11 pupils within a local educational agency, assessments that meet specified federal requirements may be reported on the California School Dashboard as a local academic indicator.
