| CO | Vetoed 06/2005 | P-12 | Section 7: Encourages the state board to establish accreditation indicators based in part on the diagnostic academic growth calculation added by paragraph (d), section 22-7-604.3.
Section 8: Creates new paragraph (d) in section 22-7-604.3. States that a diagnostic academic growth calculation showing each student's improvement from year to year might more accurately reflect a school's performance. Encourages the department to extend the use of the diagnostic academic growth calculation to the school level, and to use this method to evaluate schools for the state and federal accountability systems.
