SCHOOLS/HIGH SCHOOL: Directs the State Board of Elementary and Secondary Education to explore the creation of an appeals process for certain students who do not pass state-administered, end-of-course assessments required for high school graduation

Maddy summaryThis bill directs the State Board of Elementary and Secondary Education to investigate creating an appeals process for high school students who fail state-mandated end-of-course exams required for graduation. The resolution instructs the board to explore various options, such as using nationally norm-referenced tests, while ensuring that any alternative pathway confirms a student's proficiency in state standards. To prevent conflicts of interest, the bill specifies that this process must be managed by an external entity, such as the state Department of Education or the school's governing authority, rather than the student's own school. The board is required to submit a written report with its findings and any legislative recommendations to the House and Senate Education Committees by March 1, 2025.
