The commissioner shall ensure that assessments used to measure academic progress required by this chapter meet acceptable standards of reliability and appropriately measure students at all levels of achievement.
(2) The commissioner shall develop formative assessment question banks that are aligned to state-mandated summative assessments measuring the academic progress of students. The department of education shall make the formative assessment question banks available for use by LEAs. The commissioner shall begin developing the formative assessment question banks required under this subsection (b) no later than July 1, 2020.
To the extent authorized by federal law, student performance on assessments administered in the 2020-2021 school year to assess student readiness for postsecondary education must be excluded from the performance goals and measures required for schools and LEAs pursuant to this part, unless including student performance on postsecondary readiness assessments administered in the 2020-2021 school year results in a higher performance designation for the school or LEA.
