Dislikes
HB 1255 expands state-mandated assessments beyond public schools to include private school and homeschool students, not to improve instruction, but to capture standardized, comparable student data across all education sectors. HB 1255 expands compulsory student testing to private and homeschool families in order to normalize statewide data collection aligned with workforce development goals, not to improve academic outcomes. The bill does not improve teaching, curriculum, or academic rigor—it expands data coverage. Erodes Educational Choice & Autonomy Feeds Longitudinal & Ranking Systems... This benefits rankings and compliance, not students. No Parental Consent or Opt-Out...Parents become data providers, not decision-makers.
