Smarter Balanced Assessment – CRT Grades 3-8
E-275: State General Fund of $1.4 million in each fiscal
year to support the Complete (versus Basic) assessment
package, which provides three components:
Grades 3 – 8 English and mathematics summative
assessments;
Interim Assessments; and
Access to the Digital Library.
36Summary of Major Budget Initiatives &
Program Enhancements By Division
Division of Student Achievement
BA 2697 Assessments and Accountability
Potential cost savings with the Complete Package:
Interim Assessments
If the state provides access to and use of the Interim Assessment, school districts will have the
option of dropping local Interim Assessment contracts. This would provide school districts
with a cost savings of $4-8 per student.
Nevada would have a single, comprehensive aligned assessment system.
Access to the Digital Library (Assessment Item Pool)
No longer necessary to pay a vendor to create items.
Alignment to New Standards
When comparing the cost of Smarter Complete with the cost of aligning our current CRTs to the
new standards, we save nearly $350,000 in FY 2017.
