Assessment News from Utah State Board of Education

August, 2017

9th and 10th grades will take the SAGE for 2017/2018.  Due to some complications with arranging for the ACT practice tests, the implementation of this phase of the Assessment plan has been postponed.



Meeting September 9, 2016

USBE will be recommending the following to the Legislature: 
  • Eliminating SAGE for grades 9-12, beginning in the 2017-18 school year, and using ACT Aspire for grades 9 and 10, and adding ACT Writing to the regular 11th-grade ACT offering;
  • Adding metrics to the School Grading Act for high schools, including advanced course offerings, CTE certificates, combined GPA on core courses, improvements for at-risk populations, and progress for English learner students;
  • Adding metrics to the School Grading Act for elementary schools, including grades 1-3 reading progress, progress for English learner students, and indicators that may include teacher absenteeism and student suspension rates;
  • Eliminating SAGE writing for all but grades 5 and 8 and putting a 50-minute time limit on those assessments; and
  • Suspending the designation of turnaround schools for one year to allow for transition.
