The term does not include an observational assessment tool used to satisfy the requirements of Section 2-3.64a-10 of this Code or an assessment developed by district teachers or administrators that will be used to measure student progress at an attendance center within the school district.(b) Prior to approving a new contract for any district-administered assessment, the board must hold a public vote at a regular meeting of the board, at which the terms of the proposal must be substantially presented and an opportunity for allowing public comments must be provided, subject to applicable notice requirements. However, if the assessment being made available to review is subject to copyright, trademark, or other intellectual property protection, the review process shall include technical and procedural safeguards to ensure that the materials are not able to be widely disseminated to the general public in violation of the intellectual property rights of the publisher and to ensure content validity is not undermined.Amended by P.A. 103-0605,§ 275, eff. 7/1/2024.Renumbered from 105 ILCS 5/34-18.82 by P.A. 103-0605,§ 275, eff. 7/1/2024.Added by P.A. 103-0393,§ 5, eff. 7/1/2024.
