Bill overview
This bill modifies the Michigan Merit Examination requirements and repeals a section related to the assessment system. It requires school districts assigned as ‘partnership districts’ to have a signed agreement with the Department of Education outlining specific benchmarks and accountability measures if those benchmarks aren't met. The bill also updates the state’s assessment system, including requirements for English language arts, mathematics, science, and social studies assessments, and sets limits on the time students spend taking these tests.
