DESCRIPTION
This proposed legislation provides that Missouri Assessment Program (MAP) tests may be given at a developmentally appropriate level different from actual grade level for students receiving special education services, upon prior request of the school district and subject to approval of Department of Elementary and Secondary Education. The Department may refuse to allow testing at the level requested and may require testing at the student's actual grade level.
This legislation is not federally mandated, would not duplicate any other program and would not require additional capital improvements or rental space.
