BILL NUMBER:S7830
TITLE OF BILL:
An act to amend the education law, in relation to requiring the report-
ing of the results of English/language arts and mathematics assessments
to the person in parental relation to each elementary school pupil who
is so assessed
PURPOSE:
Requires elementary schools to report the results of English/language
arts and mathematics assessments to parents of pupils by the last day of
classes.
SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS:
Section one amends the education law by adding new section 3211-b.
Section two is the effective date.
JUSTIFICATION:
New York City uses state test scores as a major factor in determining
who must attend summer school. Due to the fact that test results are not
released until after summer school decisions are made, students are
recommended based on preliminary results. In 2012, 32,868 students in
New York City were recommended for summer school. After the state exam
results were released, it was discovered that only 25,834 students
scored low enough on the state exam to be required to go. This bill
