Plain-language change summary

The updated version of House Bill 111 has added a specific provision that allows the State Board of Education to waive certain assessment requirements for schools that finish their fall semester before December 31. This change is important because it gives more flexibility to the Winston-Salem/Forsyth County Schools during testing periods, potentially reducing stress for students and teachers. The bill remains focused on local implementation, starting in the 2021-2022 school year, emphasizing the tailored approach to education in that district.
