(January 02, 2003) Opinion 03001 SUBJECT: Assessment of student learning and reporting of school district performance pursuant to Neb. Rev. Stat. § 79-760. REQUESTED BY: Kathryn Piller Member, State Board of Education WRITTEN BY: Don Stenberg, Attorney General Charlotte R. Koranda, Assistant Attorney General You have requested our opinion on the requirements of Neb. Rev. Stat. § 79-760 (Cum. Supp. 2002) for the assessment of student learning and the reporting of school district performance. You have asked us nine questions. Each question, followed by our response, is set forth below. 1. What does 79-760 require school districts to do? Section 79-760 imposes several requirements on Nebraska school districts. After the assessment experts, hired by the Nebraska Department of Education, identify not more than four model assessments receiving the highest rating, school districts are required to adopt one of the four model assessments. In addition, school districts must determine, on a building basis, the aggregate results of any assessments required by the State Board of Education, and they must report these results to the public in their district and to the Nebraska Department of Education. Finally, although not explicitly stated in § 79-760, it is implied that school districts make their students available for assessment testing and may even be required to administer the tests. 2. What does 79-760 require the Nebraska State Board of Education to do? Section 79-760 requires more from the State Board of Education (State Board)
