Standards of Learning assessments; English language learner students; parental opt out; parental notification; translation; report. Requires each local school board to ensure that the parent of each English language learner student is notified of the option to not have his child take any Standards of Learning assessment. The bill requires such notification to be made in the parent's preferred language and, in the case of the parent of a high school student, to include a detailed explanation of the implications of such a decision on the student's ability to satisfy high school graduation requirements. The bill also requires the Department of Education to review and make recommendations on the feasibility of translating certain Standards of Learning assessments into native languages predominantly spoken by English language learner students in the Commonwealth and administering such translated assessments to certain English language learner students in lieu of the associated Standards of Learning assessments written in the English language and to submit to the Governor, the Board of Education, and the General Assembly no later than November 1, 2023, a report containing the findings of its review and its recommendations.

Standards of Learning assessments; English language learner students, parental opt out.
