Short description: 
STATE ASSESSMENT SYSTEM POLICY                                             

Synopsis of Bill as introduced:
        Resolves that all Illinois Standards Achievement Test and Prairie      
   State Achievement Examination subject area testing  that  exceeds  the      
   requirements  of  the  federal  No  Child  Left  Behind Act of 2001 be      
   eliminated beginning with the 2002-03 school year, that Illinois  will      
   comply  with  the  Act,  that  the  State Assessment System Policy and      
   Implementation Task Force be immediately  established,  and  that  the      
   State  Board  of Education shall not adopt any rules pertaining to the      
   Act's implementation prior to the task force's final report.                
        HOUSE AMENDMENT NO. 1.                                                 
        Resolves that current testing under the Illinois Standards             
   Achievement Test and Prairie State Achievement Examination shall be         
   continued, that the State Board of Education shall not pursue               
   activities designed to expand that testing without legislative              
   approval, and that the State Board must make recommendations, in            
   conjunction with the task force, designed to maximize federal moneys        
   available under Public Law 107-110. Removes the provision that              
   provides that Illinois will comply with Public Law 107-110 by               
   implementing, beginning with the 2002-03 school year, testing of            
   students in the subject areas of reading and mathematics once in            
   grades 3-5, 6-9, and 10-12. Reduces the number of members on the            
   task force to 17. Makes other changes.
