Maryland HB1582 modifies the educational accountability program to include diverse school quality indicators and limit the use of standardized.
Maryland HB1582 amends the educational accountability program to ensure that national standardized testing is not the sole measure for evaluating schools. The program must include at least three school quality indicators, such as class size, opportunities for advanced courses, and chronic absenteeism. Notably, these indicators cannot be based on student testing, except for curriculum completion. The composite score, which combines academic and school quality indicators, must be reported in percentile form and cannot use a letter grade model.
