House Roll Call 795: Passed

To exempt from the state school accreditation requirements for the year schools from which at least five-percent of the student MEAP test answer sheets were lost by the Department of Treasury its contractor. In 2003, several thousand answer sheets from a number of schools were lost. State accreditation standards are based in part on MEAP test results. However, a school or school district would not be exempt from a determination that it had not achieved adequate yearly progress under the federal No Child Left Behind Act.
