The Board of Education believes that the primary goal of student assessments should be to help students, parents/guardians and teachers identify individual student's academic accomplishments, progress and areas needing improvement in order to enhance teaching and learning.
\n\nThe Superintendent or designee shall ensure that assessments are conducted for purposes of determining students' eligibility for and appropriate placement in district programs, need for supplemental instruction and eligibility for promotion.
\n\nThe Board desires to use a variety of evaluation measures to reach the above-stated goal. To have validity, tests must correspond to the material that is being taught and reliably measure the extent to which students meet specified standards of achievement.
\n\nThe effectiveness of the instructional programs shall be evaluated on the basis of these student assessments.
\n\nWhen districtwide and school-level results of student assessments are published, the Superintendent or designee may provide supplementary information to assist parents/guardians and the local community in interpreting test results and evaluating school performance.
