Pupil assessments: California Assessment of Student Performance and Progress: statewide results.

Existing law establishes the California Assessment of Student Performance and Progress (CAASPP) as the statewide system of pupil assessments under which certain assessments are required or authorized to be administered in public schools, as specified, including a consortium summative assessment in English language arts and mathematics for grades 3 to 8, inclusive, and grade 11 that measures content standards adopted by the State Board of Education. Existing law requires the state board to adopt regulations that outline a calendar for delivery and receipt of summative CAASPP results at the pupil, school, grade, district, county, and state levels, and requires the calendar to, among other things, include delivery dates to the State Department of Education and to local educational agencies, provide for the timely return of assessment results, and ensure that individual assessment results are reported to local educational agencies within 8 weeks of receipt by the contractor for scoring. This bill would require the department to make statewide summative CAASPP results publicly available on or before October 15 each year and would require the state board's calendar for delivering results to the department to be consistent with that deadline.
