FL S1048
Bill
AI Summary
- Replaces Florida's statewide standardized end-of-year ELA (grades 3-10) and Mathematics (grades 3-8) assessments with a comprehensive end-of-year progress monitoring assessment administered through a new coordinated screening and progress monitoring system, beginning with the 2022-2023 school year
- Renames "Next Generation Sunshine State Standards" to "state academic standards" and changes achievement level 3 from indicating "satisfactory performance" to indicating "grade-level performance" on statewide assessments
- Establishes a coordinated screening and progress monitoring system requiring assessments at the beginning, middle, and end of the school year for students in the Voluntary Prekindergarten Education Program through grade 10, with results reported to teachers within 1 week and parents within 2 weeks of administration
- Designates the 2022-2023 school year as an informational baseline year for school and district grades, prohibiting schools from being required to implement turnaround options or face sanctions based on that year's grades, and setting the grading scale so letter grade distribution is statistically equivalent to 2021-2022 results
- Requires the Commissioner of Education to provide recommendations by January 31, 2025, based on an independent review of the progress monitoring system, addressing feasibility of using interim results for promotion and graduation decisions, options for reducing the assessment footprint, and the feasibility of remote test administration
