ALFANO, BACALLES, BARRA, BURLING, CONTE, ERRIGO, FINCH, GIGLIO, McDONOUGH, MILLER, O'MARA, RAIA, SAYWARD, TEDISCO -- read once and referred to the Committee on Education AN ACT to amend the education law, in relation to annual reporting by regents regarding assessments THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, REPRESENTED IN SENATE AND ASSEM- BLY, DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS: Section 1. Legislative intent. The legislature finds and declares that educational assessments, including standardized tests, can be a vital component of ensuring the quality of education of all students in New York state. The legislature determines that in order to optimize the value of such standardized tests students, parents and educators must be assured that educational assessments used by the state are fair, equita- ble and valid measures of student achievement within the context of the state learning standards. The legislature further finds and declares that it is not possible for school districts to make programmatic improvements and assist those students who fail to achieve competency in the state learning standards if school districts do not receive examination results until after a new school year has begun. Accordingly, the legislature finds and declares that in order to be accurate and meaningful evaluative tools, standard- ized assessment examinations must be reliably scored and the data released in a timely manner. Therefore, it is the intent of the legislature to require the board of regents to identify and compile data regarding the regents' development, scoring and release of assessment examination data to be included in an annual report for submission to the governor and legislature. S 2. The education law is amended by adding a new section 215-d to read as follows: EXPLANATION--Matter in ITALICS (underscored) is new; matter in brackets [ ] is old law to be omitted. LBD03899-01-9
