Citrus School Board Agenda: To Vote on Resolution on High Stakes Testing
Citrus School Board Agenda: Vote on Resolution on High Stakes Testing
Please Come to Next Tuesday’s School Board Meeting on July 10th, 2012
If you wanted to speak previously on the issue of “High Stakes Testing” but was unable to, here is another chance, tomorrow, Tuesday, July 10th.
The School Board will officially put on the agenda for next Tuesday, July 10th, 2012 school board meeting beginning at 3:00pm, the agenda item is to consider adopting, “A RESOLUTION OPPOSING OVEREMPHASIS ON HIGH-STAKES TESTING”. A workshop on the issue will begin at 1:00pm prior to the 3:00pm meeting but no public comment will take place until the 3:00pm meeting.
On June 14th, 2012 the Florida School Board Association’s General Membership voted on and passed a Resolution expressing FSBA’s concerns about high stakes testing in Florida and offering recommendations to address those concerns. (Click here to read the FSBA’s resolution) As a member of the FSBA, I voted and support the resolution. If you are interested in learning where I stand regarding Standardized High Stakes Testing: CLICK HERE.
My hope is that Citrus County School Board similarly on Tuesday, July 10th, 2012 also adopt a Resolution expressing CCSB’s concerns about high stakes testing in Florida.
A School Board Workshop will begin at 1:00pm on the Resolution with a vote to adopt the Resolution at the Regular School Board meeting at 3:00pm.
I want to thank those of you that came to the June 12th school board meeting and shared your experiences. We need to still hear your stories and your opinions as they are important to be heard. If you were unable to come to that meeting or if you’d again would like to share the meeting will begin at 3:00pm with public comment on any agenda item to begin at 3:05pm. The meeting is 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 the table as you enter the chamber.
We look forward to seeing you.
