Board rescinds plan for paper third-grade math test, will use online administration

Summary

After reviewing third-grade math results, the assistant superintendent recommended rescinding a prior resolution calling for paper testing; the board voted to return to online administration for third-grade math next year.

The Newfield LMC Board voted to rescind a previously approved resolution to administer a paper math test for third grade and to return to the online testing option for the coming school year.

The assistant superintendent told the board staff received the outstanding third-grade math scores that were administered online this year and, after consulting with curriculum staff including Mrs. Branson, recommended rescinding the earlier paper-testing resolution and reverting to online testing. The motion to accept that recommendation was seconded and approved by roll call, with Miss Fontana, Mister McMath and Mister Gallantyne voting yes.

The board record does not include further details on the administrative steps, vendor changes or whether any accommodations will be required to administer the online test for all affected students; staff indicated the recommendation came after review of the scores and consultation with curriculum staff.
