SB1298

Oklahoma SB1298 directs the State Board of Education to issue a request for proposals to select alternative assessments for students in grades three.

Oklahoma SB1298 amends the statewide system of student assessments by directing the State Board of Education to issue a request for proposals to select assessments for students in grades three through twelve. The Board must adopt at least three alternative assessments for ninth through twelfth grades. The assessments must align with Oklahoma subject matter standards, provide comparability among states, and measure academic competencies. The Board must also ensure the assessments are statistically reliable, accurate, and measure future academic performance.
