(A) The department shall also use student performance on the career
readiness assessments described in ยง 49-6-6001(b)(4) as an indicator of student
achievement for purposes of this subdivision (a)(3); and
(B) If a student is administered a postsecondary readiness assessment
and a career readiness assessment, then the department shall only consider
student performance on the assessment for which the student achieved the
highest score for purposes of assigning a school letter grade.
SECTION 2. This act takes effect July 1, 2025, the public welfare requiring it, and
applies to school grades issued for the 2025-2026 school year and subsequent school years.
