Superintendent Theodore Clevenger told trustees that schools are filing a lawsuit against the Education Commissioner over late accountability guidance and changes to CCMR cut scores; he said AI was used to grade writing tests and that "when the same writing samples were graded by a human, scores greatly increased."
Superintendent Theodore Clevenger informed the board that multiple schools are filing a lawsuit against the Education Commissioner, citing late release of the accountability manual and changes to CCMR (College, Career and Military Readiness) cut scores.
Clevenger raised concerns about test scoring methodology, saying that AI was used to grade the writing portion of the test and that "when the same writing samples were graded by a human, scores greatly increased." He said the district has received accountability guidance close to testing dates in prior years and highlighted the potential consequences for CCMR calculations. The board received the report as information; no formal action was recorded in the public minutes.
