Modifies provisions governing the Missouri assessment program test

Summary

The bill directs the Missouri State Board of Education to create a statewide assessment system that emphasizes problem solving, analytical ability, creativity and application, while giving local districts flexibility in its use. It sets up optional criteria for "exemplary" schools and provides those schools with waivers from certain testing and classification rules after three consecutive years of meeting the standards. The measure also adds special rules for English‑learner, special‑education, and military‑dependent students.
