This legislation
requires the Department of Education to terminate the use of the Smarter
Balanced assessment and to adopt a method of education assessment for the
2015-2016 school year and each school year thereafter that complies with
federal law but does not collect or disseminate personal data and attributes
of students. The Department of
Education has indicated that it will utilize existing federal funds to
support the cost of this requirement and that the Federal Expenditures Fund
allocations included as part of LD 1019, the Governor's proposed 2016-2017
biennial budget, if approved, will be sufficient to cover the
expenditures. Therefore, no additional
allocations are needed. This fiscal
note may need to be adjusted depending on the final actions of the
Legislature on the 2016-2017 biennial budget. |
