Bill overview
This bill requires the South Dakota Secretary of Education to seek permission from the U.S. Department of Education to create a new assessment system for students. If approved, the secretary will work with educators and experts to develop an assessment model that aligns with federal guidelines and South Dakota’s existing standards. The new system must measure student growth in reading and math, incorporate evidence-based literacy practices, and focus on foundational math skills. This aims to improve how student progress is evaluated and tracked.
