Under existing law, the State Superintendent of Education is responsible for the development and implementation of a school grading system.

This bill would revise the school grading system to update the design and revise the weights and indicators considered in assigning a grade, based in part on whether the school includes a 12th-grade class.

This bill would require the Alabama Workforce Board, in consultation with the State Department of Education, to develop a system for collecting, analyzing, and reporting on student performance data associated with completion of college and career readiness indicators.

This bill would also provide for the creation and membership of an Accountability Council to review and recommend revisions to the state accountability system.
