House amendment to the 4th edition makes the following changes.

Amends GS 115C-81.36(b) to reinstate the requirement that a seventh grade student be enrolled in a high school level mathematics course in eighth grade if scoring the specified level on the end-of-grade test and changes that level from a level five to the highest level on the seventh grade mathematics end-of grade test. Makes conforming changes. Amends the Department of Public Instruction's annual reporting requirement to specify that the report must include data collected for the current school year on the number and demographics of students who were eligible for advanced mathematics courses under the statute (previously did not include reference to the statute) and adds that this includes high school level mathematics courses in eighth grade. Makes additional clarifying changes. 

Adds that schools that did not offer Math I to eighth graders during the 2018-19 school year are not required to offer Math I to eighth graders for the 2019-20 school year. Requires that local boards of education with schools that meet this exemption for 2019-20 to develop a plan to implement GS 115C-81.36(b) beginning with the 2020-21 school year. Requires the plan to be submitted by January 15, 2020 (previously required each local board of education to develop a plan to implement GS 115C-81.36(b) by that date). Amends what is be included in the plan to no longer require a list of each advanced mathematics course offered in grades six and higher in each school, and limits the other requirements to eight grade Math I courses.

Deletes the provision providing that local board of education are not required to comply with GS 115C-81.36(b) for the 2019-20 school year.
