This bill defines "standardized assessment" as an evaluation administered to all students in a specific grade level or subject area, with results aggregated for analysis. The requirement does not apply to existing assessment requirements updated or revised with a new version or form. The bill aims to ensure that any new standardized assessments are subject to board approval before affecting public schools.
