MESSAGE FROM THE HOUSE

April 22, 2007

MR. PRESIDENT:

      Under suspension of rules ENGROSSED SUBSTITUTE SENATE BILL NO. 6023 was returned to second reading for purpose of an amendment: 6023-S.E AMH .... H3668.3, and passed the House as amended by the House.

      Strike everything after the enacting clause and insert the following:

      "NEW SECTION. Sec. 1. (1) The legislature maintains a strong commitment to high expectations and high academic achievement for all students. The legislature finds that Washington schools and students are making significant progress in improving achievement in reading and writing. Schools are adapting instruction and providing remediation for students who need additional assistance. Reading and writing are being taught across the curriculum. Therefore, the legislature does not intend to make changes to the Washington assessment of student learning or high school graduation requirements in reading and writing.

      (2) However, students are having difficulty improving their academic achievement in mathematics and science, particularly as measured by the high school Washington assessment of student learning. The legislature finds that corrections are needed in the state's high school assessment system that will improve alignment between learning standards, instruction, diagnosis, and assessment of students' knowledge and skills in high school mathematics and science. The legislature further finds there is a sense of urgency to make these corrections and intends to revise high school graduation requirements in mathematics and science only for the minimum period for corrections to be fully implemented.

      Sec. 2. RCW 28A.655.061 and 2006 c 115 s 4 are each amended to read as follows:

      (1) The high school assessment system shall include but need not be limited to the Washington assessment of student learning, 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 Washington assessment of student learning 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 section 4 of this act, 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, 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 Washington assessment of student learning shall earn a certificate of academic achievement. 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 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 ((retaken)) taken the Washington assessment of student learning 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 no later than with the graduating class of ((2010)) 2013, 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 Washington assessment of student learning or the objective alternative assessments in order to earn a certificate of academic achievement. The state board of education may adopt a rule that implements the requirements of this subsection (4) beginning with a graduating class before the graduating class of 2013, if the state board of education adopts the rule by September 1st of the freshman school year of the graduating class to which the requirements of this subsection (4) apply. The state board of education's authority under this subsection (4) does not alter the requirement that any change in performance standards for the tenth grade assessment must comply with RCW 28A.305.130.

      (5) The state board of education may not require the acquisition of the certificate of academic achievement for students in home-based instruction under chapter 28A.200 RCW, for students enrolled in private schools under chapter 28A.195 RCW, or for students satisfying the provisions of RCW 28A.155.045.

      (6) A student may retain and use the highest result from each successfully completed content area of the high school assessment.

      (7) ((Beginning in 2006,)) School districts must make available to students the following options:

      (a) To retake the Washington assessment of student learning up to four times in the content areas in which the student did not meet the state standards if the student is enrolled in a public school; or

      (b) To retake the Washington assessment of student learning up to four times in the content areas in which the student did not meet the state standards if the student is enrolled in a high school completion program at a community or technical college. The superintendent of public instruction and the state board for community and technical colleges shall jointly identify means by which students in these programs can be assessed.

      (8) Students who achieve the standard in a content area of the high school assessment but who wish to improve their results shall pay for retaking the assessment, using a uniform cost determined by the superintendent of public instruction.

      (9) ((Subject to available funding, the superintendent shall pilot opportunities for retaking the high school assessment beginning in the 2004-05 school year. Beginning no later than September 2006,)) Opportunities to retake the assessment at least twice a year shall be available to each school district.

      (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 Washington assessment of student learning 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 ((portion of the preliminary scholastic assessment test (PSAT))), reading or English, or writing portion of the scholastic assessment test (SAT)((,)) or the American college test (ACT) may be used as an objective alternative assessment under this section for demonstrating that a student has met or exceeded the ((mathematics)) state standards for the certificate of academic achievement. The state board of education shall identify the scores students must achieve on the ((mathematics)) relevant portion of the ((PSAT,)) SAT((,)) or ACT to meet or exceed the state standard ((for mathematics)) in the relevant content area on the Washington assessment of student learning. The state board of education shall identify the first scores by December 1, ((2006, and thereafter)) 2007. 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 ((for mathematics)).

      (ii) Until August 31, 2008, a student's score on the mathematics portion of the preliminary scholastic assessment test (PSAT) may be used as an objective alternative assessment under this section for demonstrating that a student has met or exceeded the state standard for the certificate of academic achievement. The state board of education shall identify the score students must achieve on the mathematics portion of the PSAT to meet or exceed the state standard in that content area on the Washington assessment of student learning.

      (iii) A student who scores at least a three on the grading scale of one to five for selected advance placement 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 advance placement examinations in calculus or statistics may be used as an alternative assessment for the mathematics portion of the Washington assessment of student learning. A score of three on the advance placement examinations in English language and composition may be used as an alternative assessment for the writing portion of the Washington assessment of student learning. A score of three on the advance placement 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 portion of the Washington assessment of student learning.

      (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 students as provided in this subsection (12).

      (a) Student learning plans are required for eighth through twelfth grade students who were not successful on any or all of the content areas of the Washington assessment for student learning during the previous school year. The plan shall include the courses, competencies, and other steps needed to be taken by the student to meet state academic standards and stay on track for graduation. ((This requirement shall be phased in as follows:

      (i) Beginning no later than the 2004-05 school year ninth grade students as described in this subsection (12)(a) shall have a plan.

      (ii) Beginning no later than the 2005-06 school year and every year thereafter eighth grade students as described in this subsection (12)(a) shall have a plan.

      (iii))) (i) The parent or guardian shall be notified, preferably through a parent conference, of the student's results on the Washington assessment of student learning, actions the school intends to take to improve the student's skills in any content area in which the student was unsuccessful, strategies to help them improve their student's skills, and the content of the student's plan.

      (((iv))) (ii) Progress made on the student plan shall be reported to the student's parents or guardian at least annually and adjustments to the plan made as necessary.

      (b) ((Beginning with the 2005-06 school year and every year thereafter,)) All fifth grade students who were not successful in one or more of the content areas of the fourth grade Washington assessment of student learning shall have a student learning plan.

      (i) The parent or guardian of ((a)) the student ((described in this subsection (12)(b))) shall be notified, preferably through a parent conference, of the student's results on the Washington assessment of student learning, actions the school intends to take to improve the student's skills in any content area in which the student was unsuccessful, and provide strategies to help them improve their student's skills.

      (ii) Progress made on the student plan shall be reported to the student's parents or guardian at least annually and adjustments to the plan made as necessary.

      Sec. 3. RCW 28A.155.045 and 2004 c 19 s 104 are each amended to read as follows:

      Beginning with the graduating class of 2008, students served under this chapter, who are not appropriately assessed by the high school Washington assessment system as defined in RCW 28A.655.061, even with accommodations, may earn a certificate of individual achievement. The certificate may be earned using multiple ways to demonstrate skills and abilities commensurate with their individual education programs. The determination of whether the high school assessment system is appropriate shall be made by the student's individual education program team. Except as provided in section 4 of this act, for these students, the certificate of individual achievement is required for graduation from a public high school, but need not be the only requirement for graduation. When measures other than the high school assessment system as defined in RCW 28A.655.061 are used, the measures shall be in agreement with the appropriate educational opportunity provided for the student as required by this chapter. The superintendent of public instruction shall develop the guidelines for determining which students should not be required to participate in the high school assessment system and which types of assessments are appropriate to use.

      When measures other than the high school assessment system as defined in RCW 28A.655.061 are used for high school graduation purposes, the student's high school transcript shall note whether that student has earned a certificate of individual achievement.

      Nothing in this section shall be construed to deny a student the right to participation in the high school assessment system as defined in RCW 28A.655.061, and, upon successfully meeting the high school standard, receipt of the certificate of academic achievement.

      NEW SECTION. Sec. 4. A new section is added to chapter 28A.655 RCW to read as follows:

      (1) Beginning with the graduating class of 2008 and through no later than the graduating class of 2012, students may graduate from high school without earning a certificate of academic achievement or a certificate of individual achievement if they:

      (a) Have not successfully met the mathematics standard on the high school Washington assessment of student learning, an approved objective alternative assessment, or an alternate assessment developed for eligible special education students;

      (b) Have successfully met the state standard in the other content areas required for a certificate under RCW 28A.655.061 or 28A.155.045;

      (c) Have met all other state and school district graduation requirements; and

      (d)(i) For the graduating class of 2008, successfully earn one additional high school mathematics credit or career and technical course equivalent, including courses offered at skill centers, after 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 continue to take the appropriate mathematics assessment at least once annually until graduation; and

      (ii) For the remaining graduating classes under this section, successfully earn two additional mathematics credits or career and technical course equivalent, including courses offered at skill centers, after the student's tenth 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 continue to take the appropriate mathematics assessment at least once annually until graduation.

      (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 authority under this section does not alter the requirement that any change in performance standards for the tenth grade assessment must comply with RCW 28A.305.130.

      (3) This section expires August 31, 2013.

      Sec. 5. RCW 28A.655.070 and 2005 c 497 s 106 are each amended to read as follows:

      (1) The superintendent of public instruction shall develop essential academic learning requirements that identify the knowledge and skills all public school students need to know and be able to do based on the student learning goals in RCW 28A.150.210, develop student assessments, and implement the accountability recommendations and requests regarding assistance, rewards, and recognition of the state board of education.

      (2) The superintendent of public instruction shall:

      (a) Periodically revise the essential academic learning requirements, as needed, based on the student learning goals in RCW 28A.150.210. Goals one and two shall be considered primary. To the maximum extent possible, the superintendent shall integrate goal four and the knowledge and skill areas in the other goals in the essential academic learning requirements; and

      (b) Review and prioritize the essential academic learning requirements and identify, with clear and concise descriptions, the grade level content expectations to be assessed on the Washington assessment of student learning and used for state or federal accountability purposes. The review, prioritization, and identification shall result in more focus and targeting with an emphasis on depth over breadth in the number of grade level content expectations assessed at each grade level. Grade level content expectations shall be articulated over the grades as a sequence of expectations and performances that are logical, build with increasing depth after foundational knowledge and skills are acquired, and reflect, where appropriate, the sequential nature of the discipline. The office of the superintendent of public instruction, within seven working days, shall post on its web site any grade level content expectations provided to an assessment vendor for use in constructing the Washington assessment of student learning.

      (3) In consultation with the state board of education, the superintendent of public instruction shall maintain and continue to develop and revise a statewide academic assessment system in the content areas of reading, writing, mathematics, and science for use in the elementary, middle, and high school years designed to determine if each student has mastered the essential academic learning requirements identified in subsection (1) of this section. School districts shall administer the assessments under guidelines adopted by the superintendent of public instruction. The academic assessment system ((shall)) may include a variety of assessment methods, including criterion-referenced and performance-based measures.

      (4) If the superintendent proposes any modification to the essential academic learning requirements or the statewide assessments, then the superintendent shall, upon request, provide opportunities for the education committees of the house of representatives and the senate to review the assessments and proposed modifications to the essential academic learning requirements before the modifications are adopted.

      (5)(((a))) The assessment system shall be designed so that the results under the assessment system are used by educators as tools to evaluate instructional practices, and to initiate appropriate educational support for students who have not mastered the essential academic learning requirements at the appropriate periods in the student's educational development.

      (((b) Assessments measuring the essential academic learning requirements in the content area of science shall be available for mandatory use in middle schools and high schools by the 2003-04 school year and for mandatory use in elementary schools by the 2004-05 school year unless the legislature takes action to delay or prevent implementation of the assessment.))

      (6) By September 2007, the results for reading and mathematics shall be reported in a format that will allow parents and teachers to determine the academic gain a student has acquired in those content areas from one school year to the next.

      (7) To assist parents and teachers in their efforts to provide educational support to individual students, the superintendent of public instruction shall provide as much individual student performance information as possible within the constraints of the assessment system's item bank. The superintendent shall also provide to school districts:

      (a) Information on classroom-based and other assessments that may provide additional achievement information for individual students; and

      (b) A collection of diagnostic tools that educators may use to evaluate the academic status of individual students. The tools shall be designed to be inexpensive, easily administered, and quickly and easily scored, with results provided in a format that may be easily shared with parents and students.

      (8) To the maximum extent possible, the superintendent shall integrate knowledge and skill areas in development of the assessments.

      (9) Assessments for goals three and four of RCW 28A.150.210 shall be integrated in the essential academic learning requirements and assessments for goals one and two.

      (10) The superintendent shall develop assessments that are directly related to the essential academic learning requirements, and are not biased toward persons with different learning styles, racial or ethnic backgrounds, or on the basis of gender.

      (11) The superintendent shall consider methods to address the unique needs of special education students when developing the assessments under this section.

      (12) The superintendent shall consider methods to address the unique needs of highly capable students when developing the assessments under this section.

      (13) The superintendent shall post on the superintendent's web site lists of resources and model assessments in social studies, the arts, and health and fitness.

      Sec. 6. RCW 28A.655.065 and 2006 c 115 s 1 are each amended to read as follows:

      (1) The legislature has made a commitment to rigorous academic standards for receipt of a high school diploma. The primary way that students will demonstrate that they meet the standards in reading, writing, mathematics, and science is through the Washington assessment of student learning. Only objective assessments that are comparable in rigor to the state assessment are authorized as an alternative assessment. Before seeking an alternative assessment, the legislature expects students to make a genuine effort to meet state standards, through ((retaking the Washington assessment of student learning;)) regular and consistent attendance at school((;)) and participation in extended learning and other assistance programs.

      (2) Under RCW 28A.655.061, beginning in the 2006-07 school year, the superintendent of public instruction shall implement objective alternative assessment methods as provided in this section for students to demonstrate achievement of the state standards in content areas in which the student has not yet met the standard on the high school Washington assessment of student learning. A student may access an alternative if the student meets applicable eligibility criteria in RCW 28A.655.061 and this section and other eligibility criteria established by the superintendent of public instruction, including but not limited to attendance criteria and participation in the remediation or supplemental instruction contained in the student learning plan developed under RCW 28A.655.061. A school district may waive attendance and/or remediation criteria for special, unavoidable circumstances.

      (3) For the purposes of this section, "applicant" means a student seeking to use one of the alternative assessment methods in this section.

      (4) One alternative assessment method shall be a combination of the applicant's grades in applicable courses and the applicant's highest score on the high school Washington assessment of student learning, as provided in this subsection. A student is eligible to apply for the alternative assessment method under this subsection (4) if the student has a cumulative grade point average of at least 3.2 on a four point grading scale. The superintendent of public instruction shall determine which high school courses are applicable to the alternative assessment method and shall issue guidelines to school districts.

      (a) Using guidelines prepared by the superintendent of public instruction, a school district shall identify the group of students in the same school as the applicant who took the same high school courses as the applicant in the applicable content area. From the group of students identified in this manner, the district shall select the comparison cohort that shall be those students who met or slightly exceeded the state standard on the Washington assessment of student learning.

      (b) The district shall compare the applicant's grades in high school courses in the applicable content area to the grades of students in the comparison cohort for the same high school courses. If the applicant's grades are equal to or above the mean grades of the comparison cohort, the applicant shall be deemed to have met the state standard on the alternative assessment.

      (c) An applicant may not use the alternative assessment under this subsection (4) if there are fewer than six students in the comparison cohort.

      (5) The superintendent of public instruction shall develop an alternative assessment method that shall be an evaluation of a collection of work samples prepared and submitted by the applicant, as provided in this subsection and, for career and technical applicants, the additional requirements of subsection (6) of this section.

      (a) The superintendent of public instruction shall develop guidelines for the types and number of work samples in each content area that may be submitted as a collection of evidence that the applicant has met the state standard in that content area. Work samples may be collected from academic, career and technical, or remedial courses and may include performance tasks as well as written products. The superintendent shall submit the guidelines for approval by the state board of education.

      (b) The superintendent shall develop protocols for submission of the collection of work samples that include affidavits from the applicant's teachers and school district that the samples are the work of the applicant and a requirement that a portion of the samples be prepared under the direct supervision of a classroom teacher. The superintendent shall submit the protocols for approval by the state board of education.

      (c) The superintendent shall develop uniform scoring criteria for evaluating the collection of work samples and submit the scoring criteria for approval by the state board of education. Collections shall be scored at the state level or regionally by a panel of educators selected and trained by the superintendent to ensure objectivity, reliability, and rigor in the evaluation. An educator may not score work samples submitted by applicants from the educator's school district. If the panel awards an applicant's collection of work samples the minimum required score, the applicant shall be deemed to have met the state standard on the alternative assessment.

      (d) Using an open and public process that includes consultation with district superintendents, school principals, and other educators, the state board of education shall consider the guidelines, protocols, scoring criteria, and other information regarding the collection of work samples submitted by the superintendent of public instruction. The collection of work samples may be implemented as an alternative assessment after the state board of education has approved the guidelines, protocols, and scoring criteria and determined that the collection of work samples: (i) Will meet professionally accepted standards for a valid and reliable measure of the grade level expectations and the essential academic learning requirements; and (ii) is comparable to or exceeds the rigor of the skills and knowledge that a student must demonstrate on the Washington assessment of student learning in the applicable content area. The state board shall make an approval decision and determination no later than December 1, 2006, and thereafter may increase the required rigor of the collection of work samples.

      (e) By September of 2006, the superintendent of public instruction shall develop informational materials for parents, teachers, and students regarding the collection of work samples and the status of its development as an alternative assessment method. The materials shall provide specific guidance regarding the type and number of work samples likely to be required, include examples of work that meets the state learning standards, and describe the scoring criteria and process for the collection. The materials shall also encourage students in the graduating class of 2008 to begin creating a collection if they believe they may seek to use the collection once it is implemented as an alternative assessment.

      (6)(a) For students enrolled in a career and technical education program approved under RCW 28C.04.110, the superintendent of public instruction shall develop additional guidelines for a collection of work samples that evidences that the collection:

      (i) Is relevant to the student's particular career and technical program;

      (ii) Focuses on the application of academic knowledge and skills within the program;

      (iii) Includes completed activities or projects where demonstration of academic knowledge is inferred; and

      (iv) Is related to the essential academic learning requirements and state standards that students must meet to earn a certificate of academic achievement or certificate of individual achievement, but also represents the knowledge and skills that successful individuals in the career and technical field of the approved program are expected to possess.

      (b) To meet the state standard on the alternative assessment under this subsection (6), an applicant must also attain the state or nationally recognized certificate or credential associated with the approved career and technical program.

      (c) The superintendent shall consult with community and technical colleges, employers, the work force training and education coordinating board, apprenticeship programs, and other regional and national experts in career and technical education to create an appropriate collection of work samples and other evidence of a career and technical student's knowledge and skills on the state academic standards.

      (7) The superintendent of public instruction shall study the feasibility of using existing mathematics assessments in languages other than English as an additional alternative assessment option. The study shall include an estimation of the cost of translating the tenth grade mathematics assessment into other languages and scoring the assessments should they be implemented.

      (8) The superintendent of public instruction shall implement:

      (a) By June 1, 2006, a process for students to appeal the score they received on the high school assessments; and

      (b) By January 1, 2007, guidelines and appeal processes for waiving specific requirements in RCW 28A.655.061 pertaining to the certificate of academic achievement and to the certificate of individual achievement for students who: (i) Transfer to a Washington public school in their junior or senior year with the intent of obtaining a public high school diploma, or (ii) have special, unavoidable circumstances.

      (9) The state board of education shall examine opportunities for additional alternative assessments, including the possible use of one or more standardized norm-referenced student achievement tests and the possible use of the reading, writing, or mathematics portions of the ACT ASSET and ACT COMPASS test instruments as objective alternative assessments for demonstrating that a student has met the state standards for the certificate of academic achievement. The state board shall submit its findings and recommendations to the education committees of the legislature by January 10, 2008.

      (10) The superintendent of public instruction ((may)) shall adopt rules to implement this section.

      Sec. 7. RCW 28A.655.063 and 2006 c 115 s 5 are each amended to read as follows:

      Subject to the availability of funds appropriated for this purpose, the office of the superintendent of public instruction shall provide funds to school districts ((shall)) to reimburse students for the cost of taking the tests in RCW 28A.655.061(10)(b) when the students take the tests for the purpose of using the ((mathematics)) results as an objective alternative assessment. The office of the superintendent of public instruction may, as an alternative to providing funds to school districts, arrange for students to receive a testing fee waiver or make other arrangements to compensate the students.

      Sec. 8. RCW 28A.655.200 and 2006 c 117 s 4 are each amended to read as follows:

      (1) ((In the absence of mandatory, statewide, norm-referenced assessments,)) The legislature intends to permit school districts to offer norm-referenced assessments, make diagnostic tools available to school districts, and provide funding for diagnostic assessments to enhance ((guidance and planning for students and to)) student learning at all grade levels and provide early intervention before the high school Washington assessment of student learning.

      (2) In addition to the diagnostic assessments provided under ((subsection (5) of)) this section, school districts may, at their own expense, administer norm-referenced assessments to students.

      (3)(( By September 1, 2005, subject to available funds,)) The office of the superintendent of public instruction shall post on its web site for voluntary use by school districts, a guide of diagnostic assessments. The assessments in the guide, to the extent possible, shall include the characteristics listed in subsection (4) of this section.

      (4) Beginning September 1, 2007, the office of the superintendent of public instruction shall make diagnostic assessments in reading, writing, mathematics, and science in elementary, middle, and high school grades available to school districts ((diagnostic assessments that)). Subject to funds appropriated for this purpose, the office of the superintendent of public instruction shall also provide funding to school districts for administration of diagnostic assessments to help improve student learning, identify academic weaknesses, enhance student planning and guidance, and develop targeted instructional strategies to assist students before the high school Washington assessment of student learning. To the greatest extent possible, the assessments shall be:

      (a) Aligned to the state's grade level expectations;

      (b) Individualized to each student's performance level;

      (c) Administered efficiently to provide results either immediately or within two weeks;

      (d) Capable of measuring individual student growth over time and allowing student progress to be compared to other students across the country;

      (e) Readily available to parents; and

      (f) Cost-effective.

      (5) ((Beginning with the 2006-07 school year, the superintendent of public instruction shall reimburse school districts for administration of diagnostic assessments in grade nine for the purpose of identifying academic weaknesses, enhancing student planning and guidance, and developing targeted instructional strategies to assist students before the high school Washington assessment of student learning.

      (6))) The office of the superintendent of public instruction ((is encouraged to)) shall offer training at statewide and regional staff development activities ((training opportunities that would assist practitioners)) in:

      (a) The interpretation of diagnostic assessments; and

      (b) Application of instructional strategies that will increase student learning based on diagnostic assessment data.

      NEW SECTION. Sec. 9. A new section is added to chapter 28A.655 RCW to read as follows:

      (1)(a) The legislature's intent is to make significant improvements in the high school Washington assessment of student learning in the content areas of mathematics and science before requiring students to meet the state standard on the assessment for graduation purposes.

      (b) The legislature believes that a high school assessment system where students receive instruction through credited high school mathematics and science courses and have their knowledge and skills assessed after they complete the courses would be a superior assessment system for mathematics and science to the current form of the Washington assessment of student learning. The legislature also believes that end-of-course assessments would offer more timely results, better diagnostic information, and improved alignment between curriculum, instruction, and assessment. End-of-course assessments in mathematics should cover the content of at least algebra I and geometry. End-of-course assessments in science should cover the content of at least biology, but also address other science content areas.

      (c) However, the legislature acknowledges that replacing the current form of the Washington assessment of student learning in mathematics and science with end-of-course assessments represents a significant change that should be thoroughly evaluated and that an implementation timeline to shift to end-of-course assessments no later than for the graduating class of 2013 should be carefully developed.

      (2) The state board of education, in consultation with the superintendent of public instruction, shall examine and recommend changes to the high school Washington assessment of student learning in the content areas of mathematics and science. The state board of education may contract with one or more independent national consultants to conduct the examination. The primary change to be examined shall be replacing the current high school Washington assessment of student learning with a limited series of end-of-course assessments in mathematics and science. The examination of end-of-course assessments shall include:

      (a) An objective analysis of the potential strengths and weaknesses of end-of-course assessments as the primary high school assessment tool for student and school accountability;

      (b) Analysis of the possible impact of end-of-course assessments on curriculum and instruction in mathematics and science;

      (c) The appropriate mathematics and science content to be covered by end-of-course assessments;

      (d) Recommended implementation timelines and issues to be addressed in replacing the current assessment; and

      (e) An analysis of the costs of adopting end-of-course assessments.

      (3) In any request for proposals for a new testing contractor for the Washington assessment of student learning, the superintendent of public instruction shall include the possible changes being examined by the state board of education so that additional information about the cost and feasibility of the changes can be provided by prospective testing contractors.

      (4) The state board of education shall submit a report to the superintendent of public instruction and the education committees of the legislature by January 10, 2008. The report shall contain findings from the examination under this section, recommendations for changes to the high school Washington assessment of student learning in mathematics and science, and a timeline for expedited implementation of the recommended changes.

      (5) The legislature intends that the changes recommended by the state board of education under this section shall be able to be implemented no later than the 2010-11 school year in order to apply to the graduating class of 2013. If the state board of education finds that the changes cannot feasibly be implemented by the 2010-11 school year, the state board shall state the specific reasons for such a finding, along with supporting evidence, and recommend a revised expedited timeline.

      (6) This section expires June 30, 2009.

      NEW SECTION. Sec. 10. A new section is added to chapter 28A.655 RCW to read as follows:

      (1) Before the 2007-08 school year, each educational service district shall implement an appeals panel or panels comprised of teachers, principals, and members of the business community with relevant knowledge or expertise to review and decide appeals submitted by students who did not meet the state standard on the tenth grade Washington assessment of student learning or an objective alternative assessment in one or more of the content areas assessed. The appeal under this section shall be an appeal by a student to demonstrate that he or she has the level of understanding of a content area assessed on the Washington assessment of student learning necessary to meet the state standard but was unable to demonstrate that understanding on the assessment or alternative assessment. An appeals panel must issue a determination of whether the appeal is approved or denied within sixty days of receiving an appeal application.

      (2) A student is eligible to access the appeals process under this section if the student is in his or her junior or senior year of high school; has retaken the Washington assessment of student learning or has taken an alternative assessment in the content area in which the student is appealing; has participated in the remediation or supplemental instruction contained in the student learning plan developed under RCW 28A.655.061; and meets at least one of the following additional eligibility requirements:

      (a) The student has met or is on track to meet all other state and local graduation requirements except for meeting the state standard on the Washington assessment of student learning;

      (b) The student has completed a career and technical education industry certification program, or is on track to enter an articulated postsecondary program in an accredited community or technical college that leads to industry certification;

      (c) The student is eligible for assessment accommodations, including accommodations for students with individualized education programs, students with plans developed pursuant to section 504 of the rehabilitation act of 1973, and English language learners. For students appealing under this subsection (2)(c), the panel shall consider, at a minimum, whether the appropriate assessment accommodation was provided; or

      (d) The student is an English language learner who has been in the United States for fewer than three years.

      (3) The educational service districts shall jointly submit an annual report to the legislature on the number and types of appeals received and approved.

      (4) The state board of education shall adopt rules to implement this section by August 1, 2007. The rules shall include uniform criteria to be used by the appeals panels in making the panels' determinations. The criteria shall include review of the student's cumulative grade point average for those courses required for high school graduation; whether the student had regular and consistent attendance at school; the student's high school and beyond plan; and the student's culminating project. The state board of education may include additional criteria if necessary and shall determine how much weight shall be given to each criteria.

      NEW SECTION. Sec. 11. A new section is added to chapter 28A.655 RCW to read as follows:

      English language learners who score below level four on the Washington language proficiency test or the equivalent level of the evaluation used by the superintendent of public instruction to assess the English and academic proficiency of English language learners under RCW 28A.180.090 shall not be required to take the Washington assessment of student learning, except as required by federal law. However, these students are still subject to the graduation requirements established in RCW 28A.655.061.

      NEW SECTION. Sec. 12. (1) The superintendent of public instruction and the workforce training and education coordinating board shall jointly convene and staff an advisory committee to identify career and technical education curricula that will assist in preparing students for the state assessment system and provide the opportunity to obtain a certificate of academic achievement.

      (2) The advisory committee shall consist of the following nine members:

      (a) Four members of the legislature, with two members each appointed by the respective caucuses of the house of representatives and the senate;

      (b) One representative from the career and technical education section of the office of the superintendent of public instruction;

      (c) One member appointed by the workforce training and education coordinating board; and

      (d) Three members appointed by the superintendent of public instruction and the workforce training and education coordinating board based on recommendations from the career and technical education community.

      (3) The advisory committee shall appoint a chair from among the nonlegislative members.

      (4) Legislative members of the advisory committee shall be reimbursed for travel expenses in accordance with RCW 44.04.120. Nonlegislative members, except those representing an employer or organization, are entitled to be reimbursed for travel expenses in accordance with RCW 43.03.050 and 43.03.060.

      (5) By January 15, 2008, the advisory committee shall provide an initial report to the governor and the legislature and, if necessary, a work plan with additional reporting deadlines, which shall not extend beyond December 15, 2008.

      NEW SECTION. Sec. 13. This act is necessary for the immediate preservation of the public peace, health, or safety, or support of the state government and its existing public institutions, and takes effect immediately."

PERSONAL PRIVILEGE

Senator Keiser: “Well, since the days are passing I thought it might be appropriate to read a dispatch that was recently published. I thought we might all enjoy the information. If I may? 'Dreaming of Sine Die. Legislative days are falling like hour glass sands, committees are discussing interim plans. The cherry blossoms are in bloom, Sine Die is coming soon, many constituencies have had their way, the onions, the frogs but not Lief Erikson Day. The Governor is signing bills into law, win-win solutions, common-sense approaches, blah, blah, blah. Though the 2007 session is fleeting, there’s good little bills on second reading, budget writers may yet spend a few more mills, Senator Jacobsen may yet drop a few more bills but this sessions welcome has been out worn, Representative Roach has already blown his horn. The bell tolls when the House stops breaking for caucuses and when Representative Bailey stops fighting emergency clauses.' That is compliments of Chris Mullex Olympia Dispatch. Thought we might all enjoy.”

PERSONAL PRIVILEGE

Senator Jacobsen: “I feel I’ve been impugned on my bills. I did do a little vote count here. I signed-I got seven with my own signature but I counted up and there’s about thirteen more that passed in one shape or more. So, I would put the total up about thirteen. Of course, I’m counting the poet laureate which I introduced years ago. But I would claim that my theory of chaos does work.”

Senator McAuliffe: “Thank you Mr. President. I neglected to recognize the people who did most of the work on Senate Bill No. 6023. Many of us worked very hard on the floor of the Senate, I mean in the Senate Education Committee, and no one worked as hard as my Vice Chair, Senator Rodney Tom. I appreciate very much the work he did but I do have to tell you that I think we have broken a record for how many times a bill was drafted. Senate Bill No. 6023 was drafted thirty-seven times and I want to thank my staff both who worked so hard, Heather Lewis-Lechner from our caucus and the staff on the Senate Education Committee, particularly Susan Mielke, for all their work. I want to show my full appreciation for that. Thank you.”

Upon the lapsing of any moneys under this subsection, the office of financial management shall notify the legislative fiscal committees.

These funds shall be used to serve individuals whose treatment needs constitute substantial barriers to community placement, who no longer require active psychiatric treatment at an inpatient hospital level of care, and who no longer meet the criteria for inpatient involuntary commitment. Coordination of these services will be done in partnership between the mental health program and the aging and disability services administration.

      (l) $750,000 of the general fund--state appropriation for fiscal year 2008 and $750,000 of the general fund--state appropriation for fiscal year 2009 are provided solely to continue performance-based incentive contracts to provide appropriate community support services for individuals with severe mental illness who were discharged from the state hospitals as part of the expanding community services initiative.

(i) The legislature intends and expects that regional support networks and community mental health agencies will use at least 67 percent of the amounts provided in this subsection(1)(o) to increase compensation for direct care personnel above and beyond usual and customary wage increases. To this end, regional support networks shall report to the department by October 15, 2007, on planned uses of the rate increases within their network area. The report shall describe the direct care job classifications to which increases are to be provided; the number of full-time equivalent personnel employed in each classification; the annualized dollar and percentage increases to be provided each classification; the annualized dollar value of the direct care compensation increases provided, in total and as a percentage of the total rate increase; and the number of personnel in each job classification covered by a collective bargaining agreement. The department shall summarize and analyze the regional plans, and report findings, options, and recommendations to the legislature by December 1, 2007. (ii) Regional support networks shall maintain documentation of how the rate increases have been applied. Such documentation shall be subject to audit by the department. (iii) For purposes of this subsection (1)(o), "direct care staff" means persons employed by community mental health agencies whose primary responsibility is providing direct treatment and support to people with mental illness, or whose primary responsibility is providing direct support to such staff in areas such as client scheduling, client intake, client reception, client records-keeping, and facilities maintenance.

For purposes of organizing and delivering training as required by the bill, the department may retain up to fifteen percent of the amount appropriated for fiscal year 2008, and up to ten percent of the amount appropriated for fiscal year 2009. The remainders shall be distributed to regional support networks proportional to each network's percentage of the total state population.
