What changed in the latest version
34 added · 31 removedPlain-language change summary
The amendments to Bill HB 2095 have removed the requirement that 12th-grade students in transitional programs must re-take assessments to show they are ready for college or a career. Instead, the bill allows for periodic examinations to track student progress without requiring a re-test. This change matters because it reduces unnecessary stress for students, supports their learning journey, and gives educational institutions more flexibility to place students in appropriate courses based on a broader range of data.
