SD 946 Massachusetts Senate · 193rd Legislature (2023-2024)

An Act relative to student assessment data

This bill amends Massachusetts education law to shift the focus of school accountability from overall student performance to measuring individual student growth. By changing specific terms in the state's education statutes, the legislation requires that school ratings and funding decisions be based on how much progress students make over time rather than their absolute test scores. The change directly affects how the state evaluates schools and determines resources, emphasizing improvement for each learner instead of just final achievement levels.
