House Resolution No. by Representative Melerine urges the state Department of Education to provide written reports to the House Committee on Education regarding the administration of the ACT, WorkKeys test, and Armed Services Vocational Aptitude Battery (ASVAB) to high school students. This request follows recent changes in legislation that allow students pursuing a career diploma to choose between these assessments, highlighting the need for legislators to be informed about the testing landscape for high school students.

The resolution outlines a schedule for the reports, which will cover the 2022-2023 through 2027-2028 school years, with the first report due by September 1, 2025, and subsequent reports due annually thereafter. The reports are to include disaggregated data by local education agency and relevant student demographics, as well as the percentage of students taking each test based on the type of diploma they are pursuing. Additionally, the reports will assess the impact of the new law on the overall testing burden for students, including instances of students taking multiple tests.
