The committee has issued a draft report on ways to ensure schools are delivering a constitutionally adequate education.
It recommends schools provide more information and report more frequently on how they are meeting standards. It's also recommending the state form a task force to report to the Legislature next May with a new system for measuring student performance.
The committee holds a hearing on its draft report on Monday.
