Agenda Item Summary: This brief updates the School Board to current division planning, timelines, and implementation of in-person spring SOL assessments and a new virtual assessment option released in March by VDOE.
Background: Alexandria City Public Schools (ACPS) has been actively collaborating with the Virginia Department of Education (VDOE) to meet current state and federal assessment requirements within SY 2020-2021. The spring Standards of Learning (SOL) assessments are still only allowed by VDOE to be administered in-person. The division is working hand-in-hand with VDOE to align in-person assessments with our current hybrid and virtual learning models.
Recommendation: The Superintendent recommends that the School Board review this brief for updated information regarding SOL planning for spring 2021.
