Press conference with Seattle schools’ boss Superintendent Banda.
From Melissa Westbrook’s blog:
Update: I reviewed my notes and realized, based on questions about opting out, that I had missed one answer.
I had asked the Superintendent about what would happen to the teachers who boycotted MAP and what would they do with students who opt out (given, for example, that word is that at least 50 Orca students had opted out).
He deflected the teacher question with the “working on solutions” answer but with the students just said that students are able to opt out. He would not say what any given school would be doing.
