Education (Testing & Assessment)

This resolution approves new rules designed to protect the integrity and accuracy of statewide student assessments in the District of Columbia. The primary change establishes minimum standards for administering these tests to ensure consistent conditions and defines what counts as acceptable versus unacceptable behavior by teachers and administrators. Additionally, the rules create a formal process for investigating violations of these standards and determining appropriate sanctions. These regulations apply to schools and educational agencies responsible for delivering the assessments and aim to ensure that test results are meaningful and fair for all students.
