HB 156-SCHOOL ACCOUNTABILITY MEASURES; FED. LAW 8:06:50 AM CHAIR KELLER discussed HB 156 briefly and stated it is a viable issue that will be before the committee next year, and believes it is a worthy cause. He passed out a memo from the Department of Education and Early Development (EED) at the request of Commissioner Mike Hanley regarding the assessments, and called attention to number four. He stated it discusses the fact that assessments under the federal Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESEA) must be given to all students, and EED must ensure that it takes place, and any local district accepting the money must comply and ascertain that all students are covered. He referred to the bottom of the page where is reads that the requirement does not permit certain students or a specific percentage of students to be excluded from assessments. He then referred to the next page, first paragraph, "The process of applying for funds under Title 1, [EED] assured that it would administer all these rules, roughly, and similarly each SEA [local education agency (school district)] that receives the money must comply. If SEA does not ensure that all students are assessed, et cetra ... He said he pointed it out because it's very clear what the federal government wants in exchange for its money, but that does not remove the responsibility of the legislature of the state to (indisc.) the natural constitutional rights of the parents and the students involved. He said he expressed it confidently because if it were not true the requirements would not be attached to strings as they are to federal law, that every student attending public school must be tested. He remarked there is something in between there and that is the Alaska State Constitution. (Indisc.) He said the reason he stopped is because there is a possibility of writing HB 156 in such a manner that it allows the Department of Education and Early Development (EED) to somehow encourage that these assessments are taken so it is not on the hook, and made reference to the fact that Alaska's parents have fundamental rights. He opined it will probably pass muster and have a zero fiscal note, although he questions whether the legislature wants to do that and said he is struggling with the answer. He reiterated that it is a viable issue and will be before the committee in HB 85, SB 89, HB 192, and HB 156. CHAIR KELLER announced HB 156 was held in committee.
