AP NewsBreak: Wisconsin to phase out student tests -- chicagotribune.com:

Education leaders heralded the move as a step toward more accountability. It may also help put Wisconsin in a better position to compete with other states for $4.35 billion in federal education stimulus money under the government's 'Race to the Top' reform program."
