summary
This amendment, which is the minority report of the committee, strikes and replaces the bill to require the Department of Education, beginning in the 2015-2016 school year, to create an annual report that outlines the federal and state laws and judicial decisions relating to the right or options of a student's parent or guardian to excuse the student from a statewide assessment program administered as part of the system of learning results. This amendment allows an educator to discuss the information published in the department's report with a student's parent or guardian and also allows the educator to refer the parent or guardian to the school's principal or another administrator employed by the school administrative unit.
