Tennessee HB0091 proposes to remove end-of-course assessments for grades 9-12 and replace them with ACT, SAT, or approved postsecondary readiness.

Tennessee HB0091 amends Title 49 to change student assessments. It seeks to eliminate end-of-course assessments for students in grades nine through twelve and replace them with ACT, SAT, or another postsecondary readiness assessment approved by the commissioner of education. These new assessments would be administered annually and used for student, school, and district accountability purposes. The bill also requests the U.S. Department of Education to amend Tennessee's Every Student Succeeds Act plan accordingly. The act would take effect immediately upon becoming law.
