| UT | Signed into law 10/2008 | P-12 | Allows the State Board of Education to exempt a school district or charter school from testing requirements under the Utah Performance Assessment System for Students (U-PASS) if the school district or charter school pilots an assessment system that incorporates online classroom-based assessment that utilizes adaptive testing in all grades, online writing assessment in grades 4-12, and assessments administered in grades 8, 10, and 11 to determine readiness for postsecondary education. Authorizes the state board to provide such exemptions to up to three rural districts, up to two urban districts, and up to five charter schools.
Provides that a district or charter school that receives such an exemption is subject to an accountability plan and high school graduation standards based on the piloted assessment system, and that are developed and adopted by the state board of education.
Directs the state board, by the November 2009 meeting of the interim education committee, to develop recommendations on the state's assessment system.
Provides that a student in a district or charter school that is exempt from administering the 10th grade basic skills competency test is subject to high school graduation standards adopted by the state board.

| AL | Adopted 05/2008 | P-12 | Increases the minimum number of teaching days in the school year from 175 to 180 (in compliance with 2003 S.B. 4). Permits secondary school students (in both summer school and regular school year) to demonstrate mastery of Alabama course of study content standards without specified instructional time. Authorizes local boards to create honors curricula that include rigor above that of the Advanced Academic Endorsement. Provides that effective with the ninth grade class of 2009-2010 (Class of 2013), the Alabama High School Diploma with Advanced Academic Endorsement becomes the first-choice diploma option for high school students. Permits local boards of education to voluntarily implement this endorsement as the first-choice diploma option for the 2008-2009 school year. Provides that effective with 9th grade students during the 2008-2009 school year, students will be required to complete one distance-learning course prior to graduation. Allows exceptions through Individualized Education Plans.
Eliminates the Alternate Adult High School Diploma, which allowed students who did not pas all sections of the graduation exam to earn a high school diploma by completing all course requirements and passing the GED.
Establishes the Alabama High School Diploma with Credit-Based Endorsement for students who have taken the Alabama High School Graduation Exam through the 12th grade and have passed the reading, mathematics, and one of the science, language, or social studies subject-area tests of the exam. Provides that effective for students in the 12th grade during 2007-2008 school year, to earn an Alabama High School Diploma with Credit-Based Endorsement, eligible general education students and students with disabilities must complete the required credits in the core curriculum for an Alabama diploma and earn one additional Career/Technical Education (CTE) or academic credit related to the student's career objective consistent with any guidelines established by the State Department of Education and local boards of education.
Authorizes local boards to establish Credit Recovery programs allowing certain students learning opportunities to master concepts and skills in one or more failed courses. Requires course content for credit recovery courses to be composed of standards in which students proved deficient rather than all standards of the original course. Provides schools may offer these courses using computer software, online instruction, or teacher-directed instruction. Requires the curriculum to align with state board courses of study content standards in which students are deficient.
Eliminates provision that a secondary school student may earn no more than ten credits during a school year.

| WA | Signed into law 03/2008 | P-12 | Beginning with the 2009 administration of the Washington assessment of student learning (WASL), the superintendent is directed to redesign the assessment in math, reading and science in all grades except high school by reducing the number of questions (short answer and extended response).
The superintendent is also directed to develop state-wide end-of-course assessments in high school mathematics. End-of-course assessments must be developed in Algebra I, Geometry and Integrated Math I and II. Algebra I and Intergrated Math I are to be available on an optional basis to districts in the 2009-2010 school year and all must be implemented in the 2010-2011 school year. For the class of 2013 and for purposes of the certificate of academic achievement, the results from the algebra I end-of-course assessment plus the geometry end-of-course assessment or results from the integrated mathematics I end-of-course assessment plus the integrated mathematics II end-of-course assessment may be used in place of the WASL to demonstrate compliance with state standards on the mathematics content area of the WASL. All subsequent classes may only take the end-of-course assessments; however, students who do not pass may take any other approved alternate assessment.

| PA | Adopted 01/2008 | P-12 | New state board regulations change high school graduation requirements to ensure the academic preparedness of high school seniors. These regulations institute a series of optional, end-of-course high school exams in the core academic areas of math, science, English and social studies. They are collectively known as Graduation Competency Assessments, or GCAs and will go into effect starting with the graduating class of 2014. Students will have a menu of ways to show they have the necessary skills in English, math, science and social studies to succeed in college and careers. These options include:
• Passing the new Graduation Competency Assessments.
• Passing the Pennsylvania System of School Assessment.
• Passing an Advanced Placement or International Baccalaureate test.
• Passing a local assessment that independent evaluators certify is equivalent to Graduation Competency Assessments.
