What this bill does

Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau

This bill requires, beginning in the 2017-18 school year, each school board,

operator of an independent charter school, and managing entity of an opportunity

school to annually provide the parent or guardian of each pupil enrolled in the school

district, independent charter school, or opportunity school with a copy of or

instructions on how to access a summary of the pupil examinations that the school

board, operator, or managing entity must administer under state and federal law and

any other pupil examinations used to assess pupil, school, or school district

performance. The bill requires the governing body of a private school participating

in a parental choice program to provide the same information but only to parents and

guardians of pupils attending the private school under a parental choice program.

Finally, the bill specifies certain information that must be included in the summary

and requires that the summary be written in commonly understood language.
