This legislation eliminates the DSTP, and requires its replacement beginning in the 2010-2011 school year with a test administered at a minimum in each grade level 2 through 10 at the beginning of the school year and at least one more time later in the year, to assess student progress over the course of the year as well as providing a benchmark for student, school, and district achievement. This new testing regimen will allow a student’s performance on state assessments to be based upon the student’s best results from the multiple assessments performed during the year.

An Act To Amend Title 14 Of The Delaware Code Relating To Student Assessment And Academic Promotion.
