SB 23-061

Senate Bill 23-061, which has been signed into law, removes the requirement for Colorado schools to give state tests in social studies to students from elementary through high school levels. This change affects all public school students and means that they will no longer have to take these specific standardized tests in social studies subjects. Since the bill is signed, it is now official policy and schools are expected to stop administering these assessments.

Official Summary

The bill eliminates the requirement that the department of education administer a state assessment in social studies to elementary and secondary students. (Note: This summary applies to the reengrossed version of this bill as introduced in the second house.)
