Idaho’s new standardized test — the SBAC — could face an important midterm this legislative session, reports Kevin Richert of Idaho Education News. Known as the Smarter Balanced Assessment Consortium exam, for the multistate compact that created and devised it, the test went through a rocky rollout in 2015. The Idaho School Boards Association in November overwhelmingly approved a resolution calling on the state to replace the SBAC. And a group of plaintiffs has filed a lawsuit seeking to void Idaho’s SBAC contract.

Senate Education Chairman Dean Mortimer, R-Idaho Falls, told Richert he hasn’t seen any anti-SBAC bills yet, but said, “We’ll continue to talk about it, and look for solutions and alternatives.” You can read Richert’s full report here.
