SB 24 updates South Dakota's student testing requirements by changing the language used to describe state assessments—replacing terms like "assessment instruments" and "the same assessment" with the more consistent term "assessments." The bill clarifies which grade levels must take tests in English language arts, mathematics, and science, and ensures that the Department of Education continues to design these tests and set the specific timelines for when they're administered each year.
