(1)Every reliable assessment that measures a certain group or subset of students in the

same manner with the same potential assessment items; is scored by a non-district entity; is administered either statewide or beyond Illinois, such as assessments available from the Northwest Evaluation Association, Scantron Performance Series assessments, Renaissance Learning's STAR Reading Enterprise assessments, the College Board's SAT, Advanced Placement or International Baccalaureate examinations, or ACT's Educational Planning and Assessment System tests; and will be administered by each school that school year.

(2)The administration window for each of these assessments.

(3)Which entity is requiring the assessment (State, school district, network, or

principal).

(4)Which grade levels will be taking the assessment.

(5)Which subsets of students, such as English Learners and special education students,

will be taking the assessment.

(6)An estimate of the average time it will take a student to complete the assessment.

instruction, what the results of the assessment will be used for, such as for promotion, course placement, graduation, teacher evaluation, or school performance ratings.

(b)The State Board of Education shall compile the information reported under subsection

(a)of this Section for each school year and make that information available to the public. Each school shall also make that information publicly available to the parents and guardians of its students through the school district's Internet website or distribution in paper form.
