Creates the Education Freedom Act and modifies provisions relating to the assessment of public elementary and secondary schools

Summary

The bill establishes a new Education Freedom Act that requires the state board to design a flexible statewide assessment that satisfies federal ESSA rules, but limits how the results can be used. It also lets districts adopt their own authentic, performance‑based assessments and provides “Outstanding Schools Waivers” for schools that meet set standards for three years, relieving them of certain testing and classification requirements. Special‑education and newly arrived military‑dependent students receive alternate assessments under the same framework.
