HB 840

Amends GS 115C-12(9) requiring the State Board of Education (State Board) in determining a school's annual report card to award numerical school achievement and school growth scores and separate corresponding letter grades for each, in accordance with GS 115C-83.15 (was, an overall achievement, growth, and performance score on a scale of 0 to 100 and a corresponding performance letter grade). Mandates that the scores and grades reflect measures required for achievement and growth by GS 115C-83.15 and provides a list of measures as examples (was, requires the school performance score and grade to reflect student performance on the listed measures). Makes changes to terminology for the scores reflecting the new school achievement and school growth language throughout the remainder of GS 115C-12(9).
