(a) "Accelerated learning" means an organized way of helping students meet
individual academic goals by providing direct instruction to eliminate
student performance deficiencies or enable students to move more
quickly through course requirements and pursue higher level skill
development;
(b) "Constructed-response items" or "performance-based items" means
individual test items that require the student to create an answer rather
than select a response and may include fill-in-the-blank, short-answer,

For Advanced Placement and International Baccalaureate, the
courses offered, the number of students enrolled, completing, and
taking the examination for each course, and the percentage of
examinees receiving a score of three (3) or better on AP
examinations or a score of five (5) or better on IB examinations. The
data shall be disaggregated by gender, race, students with
disabilities, and economic status. This data shall be included in the
report card beginning with the 2009-2010 academic year;
3.
Nonacademic achievement, including the school's attendance,
retention, graduation rates, and student transition to adult life; and
4.

Is designed to assist students, parents, and teachers to identify,
assess, and remedy academic deficiencies prior to high school
graduation; and
(d) A student's scores on the ACT examination or WorkKeys assessments
administered under subsections (11) and (12) of this section and the ACT
examination under KRS 158.6459(5) shall be recorded on his or her
official high school transcript.
(21) The Kentucky Board of Education shall conduct periodic alignment studies that
compare the norm-referenced tests required under subsection (5) of this
section with the standards in the different content areas to determine how well
the norm-referenced tests align and adequately measure the depth of
knowledge and breadth of Kentucky's academic content standards. Based on
its findings from the studies, the board may decrease the number of required
criterion-referenced items required under subsection (5) of this section.
