Requiring state assessments performance levels and cut scores to be based on the 2024 performance levels and cut scores.

SB 458 requires Kansas public schools to use the 2024 performance levels and score thresholds (cut scores) for statewide assessments in core subjects like math, reading, and science. It directly affects all Kansas public schools that administer these standardized tests. The bill mandates that future assessments must align with the 2024 standards rather than new or updated ones, ensuring consistency in how student performance is measured. This change applies to all grade levels and subjects covered by the state's assessment system.
