S T A T E O F N E W Y O R K ________________________________________________________________________ 780 2009-2010 Regular Sessions I N A S S E M B L Y (PREFILED) January 7, 2009 ___________ Introduced by M. of A. PAULIN -- read once and referred to the Committee on Education AN ACT creating the commission on state educational assessments THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, REPRESENTED IN SENATE AND ASSEM- BLY, DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS: Section 1. Legislative findings. The legislature hereby finds that the educational assessment process in New York state is an important public policy matter that affects school children across the state. The legis- lature finds that the establishment of an independent commission, the commission on state educational assessments, whose purpose is to review and analyze state educational assessments, is in the public interest of the state of New York. The legislature further finds that the New York state board of regents initiated higher learning standards for public school children. As part of this effort, new assessments were developed to accurately measure the new learning standards. The legislature further finds that these New York state initiatives were followed by the enactment of the federal No Child Left Behind Act, which greatly expanded every state's testing obligations. The legislature further finds that there are many issues related to educational assessments that are of interest to educational stakehold- ers, the general public, and state policy makers. These include the connection between the learning standards and the assessments, the nature and validity of the state tests, the adequacy of the technical evidence that supports the reliability and validity of the test, the accuracy and consistency of test scoring, the training of those who score assessments and the determination of performance levels. S 2. Commission established. (a) There is hereby created in the execu- tive department a commission to be known as the commission on state educational assessments, hereafter referred to as the commission, which EXPLANATION--Matter in ITALICS (underscored) is new; matter in brackets [ ] is old law to be omitted.
