AN ACT relating to the education assessment and accountability system.

This bill changes how Kentucky measures school and student performance. It allows local school districts to create their own accountability systems alongside the state system, adds individual student growth and student engagement as official measures of school success, and removes certain requirements like specific writing assessments and school climate as a state indicator. It also requires schools to adopt a writing program policy and post it publicly. Who it may affect: students, parents, local school district administrators, teachers, and school-based decision making councils.
