The Public Education Committee will meet to consider the following interim charge:
Monitor state and local implementation of the new state assessment system (STARR), specifically the impact on students, instruction, teachers, and graduation or promotion rates. Review how districts are implementing the requirement that the end-of-course assessment count for 15 percent of the student's course grade. Recommend any changes to graduation or testing requirements that promote instructional rigor and support postsecondary readiness while appropriately limiting an over reliance on standardized testing.
Public testimony may be limited to three (3) minutes.
