of an independent charter school, governing body of a private school participating in

a parental choice program, and managing entity of an opportunity school to excuse

private school participating in a parental choice program must excuse a pupil in 4th,

8th, 9th, 10th, or 11th grade from taking the knowledge and concepts examination

adopted by the state superintendent of public instruction that is required to be

administered to pupils in that grade.
