Background:
At its meeting on December 21, 2017, the Board referred Resolution 1718R-015 by Director Voss regarding district-wide assessment results to the Committee on Student Achievement and School Innovation.

The Administration is recommending amendments to the resolution as outlined in the attachment. First, the Administration recommends that the assessment system be reviewed every three years to make certain MPS continues to minimize the amount of testing to what is essential.

Additionally, reports to the Board occur annually that align to the availability of specific data. The attachment indicates a tentative assessment report schedule. This schedule may change based on release dates of data or embargoes.
 
Fiscal Impact Statement:
