| CA | Vetoed 10/2003 | P-12 | States the intent of the Legislature to establish an Opportunity for Teaching and Learning Index as part of the Public School Performance Accountability Program to measure the opportunity for teaching and learning as evidenced by access to high-quality learning resources, conditions, and opportunities, based on standards specifying what all schools should have available for instruction and support. Requires recommendations for the development of the index by July 1, 2004. http://www.leginfo.ca.gov/pub/bill/sen/sb_0451-0500/sb_495_bill_20030911_enrolled.html

| OH | Signed into law 08/2003 | P-12 | Creates the Ohio Accountability Task Force to study the state's accountability system (to make recommendations, periodically review fees for data analysis and reporting, periodically report to the department and state board, to examine the implementation of the value-added progress dimension and the reporting of performance data. Defines "graduation rate" as the ratio of students receiving a diploma to the number of students who entered ninth grade four years earlier. Students who transfer into the district are added to that calculation. Students who transfer out of the district for reasons other than dropout are subtracted from the calculation. Directs the Legislative Office of Education Oversight to conduct a study of each of the following: the academic achievement gap, (2) the provision of intervention services, (3) the Ohio Graduation Test performance of the Class of 2007, and (4) the progress of meeting the federal requirement of having only "highly qualified" teachers in core subject areas. Eliminates the requirement that certain state board rules be approved by the General Assembly prior to taking effect.

| NV | Signed into law 06/2003 | P-12 | The measure revises the public school accountability provisions of the Nevada Education Reform Act and related sections of the law to conform to requirements of the federal No Child Left Behind Act of 2001. The bill requires the state board to define the measurement for determining whether this state, each school district, and each public school has made adequate yearly progress (AYP) in accordance with the federal law. The primary method of measuring AYP will be standards-based test scores in grades 3 through 8, along with the high school proficiency examination. Secondary indicators will include graduation rates for high schools and attendance rates for all other schools. In addition, the state board is required to prepare an annual report of accountability. Further, the measure requires the state board, each school district, and each public school to develop a plan to improve the achievement of pupils. The bill also revises existing provisions concerning the accountability designations of public schools, and for the first time, requires the Department of Education to designate school districts based upon the achievement of pupils enrolled within the school district as a whole, using categories and criteria similar to the school-level accountability categories. As required under federal law, all students must now be tested, including disabled students and English Language Learners. (114 page bill) http://www.leg.state.nv.us/19thSpecial/bills/SB/SB1_EN.pdf

| TX | Signed into law 06/2003 | P-12 | Currently, Texas law requires the State Board of Education (SBOE) to adopt rules to evaluate the performance of schools using the academic excellence indicators adopted under Sections 39.051(b)(1) through (7), Education Code, including assessment instrument results; dropout, completion, and attendance rates; and SAT results. Additional criteria to be considered may include consideration of compliance with certain statutory and SBOE requirements and the effectiveness of the district's programs for special populations. S.B. 1820 adds the consideration of the effectiveness of the district's career and technology programs in the rules adopted by SBOE.
