South Dakota's Department of Education secretary must apply to the federal government for permission to create a new student assessment system that replaces or supplements current state tests. If approved, the state will develop a testing system that measures reading and math growth while emphasizing science-based reading instruction and foundational math skills, working with school leaders, teachers, and parents to design it.
This bill does not directly amend codified state law.
