Preston committee submits assessment audit to state; district awaits guidance
Summary
The Preston Curriculum Committee reported it provided the state with an audit of district assessments (with minor edits requested) and will wait for guidance; the state is examining additional assessments beyond those required and concerns about instructional time lost to testing.
The Preston School District Curriculum Committee reported Feb. 28 that it submitted an audit of the district’s assessments to the state. The minutes say the submission included a few required edits and that the committee will wait for the state to provide guidance on next steps.
According to the minutes, the state is reviewing what additional assessments districts are using beyond required tests, how much instructional time is consumed by administering assessments, and whether the assessments are meaningful and academic. The committee recorded these state interests and did not record further action in the minutes beyond awaiting the state’s direction.
The minutes do not list specific assessments by name, nor do they record a timeline for when the state will respond.
