In this March 9, 2015 photo, Illinois State Rep. Will Guzzardi speaks at the Thompson Center in Chicago. Illinois lawmakers are considering a bill that would protect students and their schools from being "negatively impacted" if they choose not to take state assessment tests. Democratic Rep. Guzzardi’s measure, backed by the Chicago Teacher’s Union, would amend the school code to allow students to opt-out of the test if they have a request in writing from a parent or guardian.
