. It is the intention of the Legislature in enacting this
article that:
(a) Evaluations shall be performed in such a manner as to minimize
the resources required of school districts in the collection,
analysis, and reporting of evaluation information. In order to
achieve this goal, program evaluations shall require only that
information which is essential to the State Department of Education
for carrying out statutorily mandated functions, and shall be
conducted only as necessary for the conduct of those functions. In
addition, in evaluations of state-funded programs, the department may
use sampling procedures as it determines to be appropriate based on
professional standards.
(b) Evaluations shall be performed and reported in such a manner
as to maximize their utility to decisionmakers in the Legislature.
