Introduced
by
To require public schools to ensure that each student in grades 4 to 12 develops a student portfolio. This would contain records of annual academic and nonacademic plans that the student intends to follow; a record of academic achievement, including grades, MEAP scores, and schoolwork samples; a record of job preparation and community involvement, including volunteer activities, work training and work experience; and a record of academic and nonacademic recognitions and awards. Schools would have to keep the portfolio in a portable format, such as a computer disk or CD-ROM, give it to the new school if the student transfers, and give the student a tamper-proof copy upon graduation.
