Are there limits on local testing?

As stated in Minnesota Statutes, section 120B.301, for
students in grades 1–6, the cumulative total amount of time
spent taking locally adopted districtwide or schoolwide
assessments must not exceed 10 hours per school year. For
students in grades 7–12, the cumulative total amount of time
spent taking locally adopted districtwide or schoolwide
assessments must not exceed 11 hours per school year. These
limits do not include statewide testing.
In an effort to encourage transparency, the statute also
requires a district or charter school, before the first day of
each school year, to publish on its website a comprehensive
calendar of standardized tests to be administered in the
district or charter school during that school year. The calendar
must provide the rationale for administering each assessment
and indicate whether the assessment is a local option or
required by state or federal law.
