AN ACT ESTABLISHING PROFICIENCY EXAMINATIONS AND A PUBLIC SCHOOL VOUCHER PROGRAM.

HB 6207 requires all public schools to administer annual grade-level proficiency exams in reading, writing, and math for students to advance to the next grade or graduate. Parents of students in schools where fewer than 60% of students pass these exams may receive a voucher to enroll their child in another public school within the same or adjacent district. The bill directly affects public school students needing to meet exam requirements and parents seeking school transfers due to low performance. It establishes a concrete mechanism linking school performance metrics to parental choice in public education options.
