STOP Malloy/Wyman from punishing students, parents, teachers and taxpayers on testing opt out!
A bill that would – at least partially – prohibit the Malloy administration from punishing students, parents, teachers and taxpayers when parents utilize their unalienable right to opt their children out of the unfair, inappropriate and discriminatory Common Core SBAC) testing scheme will be coming up for a public hearing before the Legislature’s Education Committee on MONDAY, MARCH 7, 2016.
House Bill 5555 would prevent the Malloy administration from using SBAC and NEW SAT participation rates as part of the state’s absurd School Accountability System.
