Implementing Mathematics Proficiency Testing
Keyword(s):
Due to public demand for increased emphasis on basic skills, the California Legislature revised the education code. Effective 1 January 1977 the new regulations require school districts to establish proficiency standards in reading, writing, and computation, and to develop procedures to assess student proficiency in the above areas for grades four through twelve. After June 1980, any student who has not met the locally adopted standards will not be given a diploma.
