the student's eleventh grade year intended to increase the student's
mathematics proficiency toward meeting or exceeding the mathematics standards
assessed on the high school Washington assessment of student learning; and
(((ii)))(b) For ((the remaining))all
other graduating classes ((under this section)), successfully earn
two mathematics credits or career and technical course equivalent, including
courses offered at skill centers, after the student's tenth grade year intended

student learning.
(((2) The state board of education may adopt a rule
that ends the application of this section with a graduating class before the
graduating class of 2012, if the state board of education adopts the rule by
September 1st of the freshman school year of the graduating class to which the
provisions of this section no longer apply. The state board of education's

EFFECT: Extends to all graduating classes after the class of 2008, a policy that allows students to graduate without a Certificate of Academic Achievement or Certificate of Individual Achievement as long as they take additional mathematics classes and meet the state standard in the other required content areas on the state assessment. Under current law this policy ends with the class of 2012, and the law expires August 31, 2013. Clarifies that students may not submit collections of evidence as an alternative assessment in mathematics for purposes of graduation. Removes the intent section, which describes end-of-course math assessments for the classes of 2013 and 2014. |
