Calling All Parents, Students and Community: What Do You Think About High Stakes Testing?

Please Come to Next Tuesday’s School Board Meeting on June 12^th, 2012

If you have been following the newspaper recently you may be aware that the School Board has on the agenda for next Tuesday, June 12^th, 2012, approximately 6:00pm, board meeting to consider adopting, “A RESOLUTION OPPOSING OVEREMPHASIS ON HIGH-STAKES TESTING”. (Click here to see Mike Wright’s Chronicle Story, “School board wants FCAT changes”.)

Often parents, students, teachers and the community at large say to me, “please do something about getting rid of the FCAT or other high stakes test”. Well here is your chance to tell the school board and our community how the FCAT, PERT, or other high stakes test affects you.

It is my understanding that ABC ActionNewsTampa, Citrus Chronicle/BayNews and potentially other news outlets may be attending and covering this event.

This will be an excellent opportunity to tell your story and voice your opinion as they are important and should be heard. The meeting on this subject will begin at about 6:00pm in the Board Chamber at the School Board District Services Center, Located at 1007 W. Main Street, Inverness, Florida. In order to speak you will need to fill out a “green colored” card at the table as you enter the chamber.
