Assembly Bill 615 mandates that school boards and independent charter schools in Wisconsin develop and implement a numeracy assessment plan for students in grades kindergarten through eight. This plan requires the administration of numeracy screening assessments at least three times each school year, starting in the 2026-27 school year. The assessments aim to identify students at risk of not meeting grade-level mathematics standards. Additionally, the bill stipulates that schools must provide quality math tutoring to these at-risk students and develop personal mathematics plans for those identified as needing further intervention based on consecutive assessment results.

Furthermore, the bill requires that any school district or independent charter school where fewer than 51% of fourth graders achieve a proficient score on the Forward Exam must create a mathematics achievement plan. This plan must include an analysis of pupil performance data, measurable goals for improvement, evidence-based strategies, and a professional development plan for educators. The Department of Public Instruction is tasked with creating a model mathematics achievement plan and maintaining a list of high-quality tutoring providers to support these initiatives.
