Governor DeSantis Makes major announcement permanently ending high-stakes testing in Florida

Thank you, Governor Ron DeSantis, for moving away from high-stakes state testing to now become educational diagnosing. Today Governor DeSantis in a press conference shared, “we are crafting legislation to end the FSA”. He went on to say, “This will be the last year of FSA”.

There is much still to learn about the plan, but this is a great announcement, and I am so grateful!!

As many of you know I have been working for many years to help Florida move away from high-stakes assessment tests for our students. Failing to pass one or more of these high-stakes states required tests is a tragic consequence for a student’s lack of test-taking skills or a myriad of other reasons why a student can pass a course, demonstrate mastery of the subject but fail a standardized test. It shouldn’t be a lifelong penalty. This announcement today will be a major step in the right direction.
