The Board of Education believes that testing programs can provide a meaningful source of information about curriculum and overall student achievement.
In addition to the subject matter examinations given by the classroom teachers, the school district will administer standardized tests which measure achievement, ability, interests and vocational aptitudes.
The school district will establish and maintain a standardized basic testing program which can be used, communicated and interpreted by school personnel. Inforrnation will be disseminated to parents as appropriate and in accordance with law.
Testing results will be provided
1. as an assessment of the educational program of district curriculum. Student results will be reported in tested areas from year to year.
2. in reports to the Board of Education. (Comprehensive Assessment Report)
3. as data for use by guidance counselor in an effort to promote student growth.
The district testing program shall include those tests required by state law.
