BILL NUMBER:S7830
Title of bill
An act to amend the education law, in relation to requiring the report- ing of the results of English/language arts and mathematics assessments to the person in parental relation to each elementary school pupil who is so assessed
Purpose
Requires elementary schools to report the results of English/language arts and mathematics assessments to parents of pupils by the last day of classes.
Summary of provisions
Section one amends the education law by adding new section 3211-b.
Section two is the effective date.
Justification
New York City uses state test scores as a major factor in determining who must attend summer school. Due to the fact that test results are not released until after summer school decisions are made, students are recommended based on preliminary results. In 2012, 32,868 students in New York City were recommended for summer school. After the state exam results were released, it was discovered that only 25,834 students scored low enough on the state exam to be required to go. This bill would rectify this unfortunate situation.
