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. The resolution highlights recent changes in testing requirements, particularly the shift allowing students pursuing a career diploma to choose between the ACT, WorkKeys, or ASVAB, and emphasizes the importance of keeping legislators informed about these assessments.

The resolution outlines a schedule for the reports, which will cover the 2022-2023, 2023-2024, and 2024-2025 school years, with the first report due by September 1, 2025, and subsequent reports due annually through January 3, 2028. Each report must 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 load for high school students, including data on students taking multiple tests.
