Memorial to Congress ending standardized testing mandates
Summary
Memorial to Congress ending standardized testing mandates
What changed
Colorado Senators introduced SM26-001, a memorial formally petitioning Congress to end high-stakes standardized testing mandates in public schools. The memorial calls for returning to evidence-based, humane education practices and restoring local accountability in public education.
This memorial does not create binding compliance obligations on any party. It represents an informational request to the federal government from the Colorado legislature. Educational institutions and policymakers should monitor whether Congress takes any responsive action on standardized testing policy.
