PERSONAL PRIVILEGE

Senator Rivers: “Thank you Mr. President. It is my honor to introduce to this fine body a most excellent student from the University of Washington, Tacoma who is also my Intern who is gracing the rostrum today. Rosemary Delgado who has worked so hard for me and who puts up with me and I am very grateful for her presence in my office.”

PERSONAL PRIVILEGE

REPLY BY THE PRESIDENT

President Owen: “Oh, poor girl, telling her to stand up.”

Senator Roach: “I know. Well not ‘poor girl’ because I’m her grandma. Let’s get that straight.”

President Owen: “No, no because you’re making her stand up.”

Senator Roach: “Emily, wave your hand. I’m the greatest grandmother. And you want a Christmas present? That’s what I thought. Emily is an outstanding student and soccer player. She’s fourteen. She’s the daughter of my only daughter. I have four sons but I have a daughter. Emily is the number one grandchild, number one of sixteen. What a wonderful girl.

President Owen: “Of course, now we expect great things out of her while she’s here of course.”

PERSONAL PRIVILEGE

Senator Shin: “Thank you Sir. I just walked in and I wasn’t here prepared to greet this delegation, friends from Filipino American community. Historically, the United States relations with Philippines goes back, way back into the nineteen century. It is through the efforts and assistance alliance between the United States and Philippines were able to much, much prevent the World War to become bigger. Also the Filipinos provided their bases for the American naval stations there. They helped us to also bring us a victory. For that reason the United States and the Filipinos and the theme was ‘tangere me nech’ which means ‘touch me not.’ Spanish colonialism became much worse so that they worked towards independence and the United States helped them to gain independence. Today, we’re still the best friends. So I want to thank the Filipino American community, friends there, who are here and am honored to sponsor this legislation to congratulate them. Thank you Mr. President.”

SENATE BILL NO. 5587, by Senators Litzow, Dammeier, Rivers, Fain and Tom

Concerning student assessments.

MOTION

On motion of Senator Dammeier, Substitute Senate Bill No. 5587 was substituted for Senate Bill No. 5587 and the substitute bill was placed on the second reading and read the second time.

MOTION

Senator Dammeier moved that the following striking amendment by Senators Dammeier and McAuliffe be adopted:

0.Strike everything after the enacting clause and insert the following:

"NEW SECTION. Sec. 1. The legislature finds that the superintendent of public instruction was authorized to align the state essential academic learning requirements for mathematics, reading, writing, and communication with the common set of standards for students in grades kindergarten through twelve, known as the common core state standards, which were developed by a multistate consortium in which Washington took part. The legislature further finds that Washington has joined one of two multistate consortia using a federal grant to develop new language arts and math assessments in grades three through eight and grade eleven that are, among other factors, aligned with the common core state standards and test college and career readiness at the high school level. The legislature further finds that the assessments are required to be ready for use by the 2014-15 school year. The legislature intends to make changes to the assessment system in order to use the consortia-developed assessments for both high school graduation and to meet the federal accountability requirements. As the state transitions from the current assessments to the consortia-developed assessments the legislature intends that both the current tenth grade assessments and the consortia-developed assessments may be used for high school graduation purposes by the graduating classes of 2016 and 2017. Beginning with the graduating class of 2018, students must meet the state standards on the consortia-developed assessments to earn the certificate of academic achievement and graduate from high school.

Sec. 2. RCW 28A.655.061 and 2011 1st sp.s. c 22 s 2 are each amended to read as follows:

(1) The high school assessment system shall include but need not be limited to the statewide student assessment, opportunities for a student to retake the content areas of the assessment in which the student was not successful, and, if approved by the legislature pursuant to subsection (10) of this section, one or more objective alternative assessments for a student to demonstrate achievement of state academic standards. The objective alternative assessments for each content area shall be comparable in rigor to the skills and knowledge that the student must demonstrate on the statewide student assessment for each content area.

(2) Subject to the conditions in this section, a certificate of academic achievement shall be obtained ((~~by most students at about the age of sixteen,~~)) and is evidence that the students have successfully met the state standard in the content areas included in the certificate. With the exception of students satisfying the provisions of RCW 28A.155.045 or 28A.655.0611, acquisition of the certificate is required for graduation from a public high school but is not the only requirement for graduation.

(3) Beginning with the graduating class of 2008 through the graduating class of 2015, with the exception of students satisfying the provisions of RCW 28A.155.045, a student who meets the state standards on the reading, writing, and mathematics ((~~content areas of the~~)) high school statewide student assessment shall earn a certificate of academic achievement. Beginning with the graduating class of 2018, a student who meets the state standards on the English language arts and revised mathematics high school statewide assessments shall earn a certificate of academic achievement. The graduating classes of 2016 and 2017 must meet the requirements in accordance with RCW 28A.655.066. If a student does not successfully meet the state standards in one or more content areas required for the certificate of academic achievement, then the student may retake the assessment in the content area ((~~up to four times~~)) at least twice a year at no cost to the student. If the student successfully meets the state standards on a retake of the assessment then the student shall earn a certificate of academic achievement. Once objective alternative assessments are authorized pursuant to subsection (10) of this section, a student may use the objective alternative assessments to demonstrate that the student successfully meets the state standards for that content area if the student has taken the statewide student assessment at least once. If the student successfully meets the state standards on the objective alternative assessments then the student shall earn a certificate of academic achievement.

(4) Beginning with the graduating class of 2015, a student must meet the state standards in science in addition to the other content areas required under subsection (3) of this section on the statewide student assessment or the objective alternative assessments in order to earn a certificate of academic achievement.

(10)(a) The office of the superintendent of public instruction shall develop options for implementing objective alternative assessments, which may include an appeals process for students' scores, for students to demonstrate achievement of the state academic standards. The objective alternative assessments shall be comparable in rigor to the skills and knowledge that the student must demonstrate on the statewide student assessment and be objective in its determination of student achievement of the state standards. Before any objective alternative assessments in addition to those authorized in RCW 28A.655.065 or (b) of this subsection are used by a student to demonstrate that the student has met the state standards in a content area required to obtain a certificate, the legislature shall formally approve the use of any objective alternative assessments through the omnibus appropriations act or by statute or concurrent resolution.

(b)(i) A student's score on the mathematics, reading or English, or writing portion of the SAT or the ACT may be used as an objective alternative assessment under this section for demonstrating that a student has met or exceeded the state standards for the certificate of academic achievement. The state board of education shall identify the scores students must achieve on the relevant portion of the SAT or ACT to meet or exceed the state standard in the relevant content area on the statewide student assessment. A student's score on the science portion of the ACT or the science subject area tests of the SAT may be used as an objective alternative assessment under this section as soon as the state board of education determines that sufficient data is available to identify reliable equivalent scores for the science content area of the statewide student assessment. After the first scores are established, the state board may increase but not decrease the scores required for students to meet or exceed the state standards.

(ii) A student who scores at least a three on the grading scale of one to five for selected AP examinations may use the score as an objective alternative assessment under this section for demonstrating that a student has met or exceeded state standards for the certificate of academic achievement. A score of three on the AP examinations in calculus or statistics may be used as an alternative assessment for the mathematics portion of the statewide student assessment. A score of three on the AP examinations in English language and composition may be used as an alternative assessment for the ((~~writing~~)) English language arts portion of the statewide student assessment. A score of three on the AP examinations in English literature and composition, macroeconomics, microeconomics, psychology, United States history, world history, United States government and politics, or comparative government and politics may be used as an alternative assessment for the ((~~reading~~)) English language arts portion of the statewide student assessment. A score of three on the AP examination in biology, physics, chemistry, or environmental science may be used as an alternative assessment for the science portion of the statewide student assessment.

(11) By December 15, 2004, the house of representatives and senate education committees shall obtain information and conclusions from recognized, independent, national assessment experts regarding the validity and reliability of the high school Washington assessment of student learning for making individual student high school graduation determinations.

(12) To help assure continued progress in academic achievement as a foundation for high school graduation and to assure that students are on track for high school graduation, each school district shall prepare plans for and notify students and their parents or legal guardians as provided in this subsection.
