Senate of Pennsylvania
Session of 2013 - 2014 Regular Session

MEMORANDUM

Posted: January 17, 2013 09:16 AM
From: Senator James R. Brewster
To: All Senate members
Subject: Student Performance Measurement Advisory Commission
 
In the near future, I plan on re-introducing legislation that would create a Student Performance Measurement Advisory Commission.

The 11-member Commission will review the following for their strengths and weaknesses: The PA System of School Assessment, The PA Alternate System of Assessment, The Keystone Exams, The PA Accountability System (including the PA Performance Index), and the PA Value Added Assessment System.

The Commission will make findings and recommendations to improve the measure of performance in the Commonwealth to more fairly and accurately measure the academic performance of students, schools, school districts and educators.

This was SB 1618 of last session.

Introduced as SB823
