math testing

California may begin testing kindergarteners in math under Senate Bill 1067 to identify students falling behind early. Over 60% of California students perform below the state's math benchmark, and the bill aims to provide early intervention. The law would require schools to select approved math tests for kindergarten through second grade by 2028, with implementation costs exceeding $100 million.

A bill in the California Legislature proposes testing students on math starting in kindergarten to address poor math scores. The initiative mirrors an existing literacy assessment program.
