The State Department of Education is directed to coordinate the annual administration of the National Assessment of Education Progress (NAEP) to obtain an indication of student and school performance relative to national performance levels. A school randomly selected by NAEP must comply with the administration of the assessment to obtain an indication of state performance relative to national performance levels. Effect of Amendment The 2006 amendment rewrote this section by deleting the second sentence which provided "The first administration of this test must occur no later than the 2000-2001 school year" and added the fourth sentence relating to teacher training and the fifth sentence relating to modifications to the readiness assessment to provide literacy development information. The 2008 amendment omitted SECTION 59-18-330 relating to first grade readiness tests and renumbered this section from SECTION 59-18-340; in the first sentence substituted "Department" for "Board" and "coordinate the annual administration of" for "administer annually" and added the second sentence.
