State Assessments/Testing
There have been numerous articles, opinions, politics, and many other claims about state testing coming out as of late that I think it is time to re-
spond to some of this and send out some facts as we know them, along with our thoughts as career educators and leaders of our educational sys-
tem. First, a few key points from the New York State School Boards Association:
(cid:129) First, federal law requires that states assess students in grades 3-8 on an annual basis in specified areas. It also requires that 95 percent of stu-
dents in each school participate in such assessments. As a Focus District, Addison must meet this standard. Although we are seeing improve-
ment in the number of students progressing towards proficiency, if we do not meet the 95% participation rate, Addison may be identified as a
Focus District again. According to the U.S. Department of Education, failure to comply with these requirements can subject states and school
districts to sanctions including, but not limited to, the loss of Title I monies and funding available under other federal programs such as the
Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA). Addison receives a significant portion of these funds and uses them for staffing, pro-
grams, and professional development.
(cid:129) Second, the State Education Department (SED) considers such testing to be part of the core academic program that school districts must offer
all students attending their schools.
(cid:129) Third, all school district representatives are required to comply with legal requirements that affect the operation of school districts, including
the administration of state assessments. Therefore, school district officials have no authority to encourage or promote parental opt out efforts.
(cid:129) Fourth, the State Education Department has taken the position that school boards refusing to administer state assessments are subject to re-
moval from office, and administrators taking a similar course of action are subject to proceedings leading to the loss of certification.
(cid:129) Fifth, the State Education Department has stated that there is no provision in statute or regulation allowing parents to opt their children out of
state tests.
Local/personal observations and comments:
(cid:129) Our school district is a place where all students are challenged to high standards and are supported in their growth by great and car-
ing teachers. I believe that this is a district where parents want to send their children, teachers want to teach and students want to
learn. We have heard numerous stories about amazing things students are doing after only two years of instruction with the new
learning standards.
(cid:129) College, career, work, and life readiness is complicated and it certainly cannot be captured by a single score on a single test. Readi-
ness includes academics, but it also includes important skills like perseverance, resilience, collaboration, and creativity.
(cid:129) Below are a few critical pieces of information that we get from assessing/testing our students: knowing whether they are on track
for success in the third grade, sixth grade, eight grade, or college. The data from grades 3-8 testing is not used to make promotional
decisions about students. Testing gives us data to see how our students and our schools are doing compared to other children in our
district, region, and our state. Testing gives us the opportunity to assess the progress of our multi-million dollar investment in pub-
lic education. It allows us to evaluate all students on their trajectory to make adequate yearly progress, not only a selected number
of them.
(cid:129) In high school and for many adults, testing is a part of their college and career pathway. Our students cannot opt out of NY State
regents exams. Regents tests are a requirement to graduate from high school in New York State. Also, many vocational students at
BOCES must take a Career & Technical Education Assessment to get certified and licensed in their field of study. Certification and
licensing are necessities to work in many industries. Many college bound juniors and seniors must take a standardized SAT or ACT
exam to get into college. These exams are required for admittance into many colleges and universities.
(cid:129) Many of our own district employees have taken Professional and Civil Service exams to acquire and keep their jobs. Some of them
have taken these tests more than one time and many others have taken promotional exams. They would not be able to advance
their careers and salaries without taking and passing these tests. Can this be a bit stressful? Sure it can, but it also brings out the
best in people.
In Summary
Ultimately, we do not want our students, parents, staff, and community to fear these exams. We want everyone to feel prepared for any
assessment they take, not only now as students but also when entering adulthood. I believe we are sending the wrong message if we
have our students shy away from these exams and challenges. Will there be times when they do not know an answer? ..... you bet.
Most tests are designed that way. As adults, there are many times throughout the day when answers are hard to come by. But we per-
severe and keep working hard. That is a measure of progress and the American way!

Rock Your Socks for National
Down Syndrome Awareness Day

We rocked our wildest, craziest,
mismatched socks on National
Down Syndrome Day in support of
our kids on March 20th.
Ethan Smith rocked his socks
along with the crazy socks of over
400 children from Tuscarora and
Valley Schools.
The Valley Early Childhood School went to see Sesame Street live
on March 17 at the Clemens Center. The students had a wonderful
time singing along with the characters in the show. It was a spe-
cial treat for
our hardwork-
ing students.

has travelled to for his job. He showed students what methods of transportation are used to
send equipment over to other countries. The class would like to thank Mr. Illig for their
"goody" bags and for the delicious sheet pizza and soda they had for lunch after the presenta(cid:2)

Regarding all refused tests, we would ask that the school please provide an alternative

ers $177,000. If the district realizes there is still not enough parking, the option
of using the Wombaugh Street property purchased for $16,000 in 2009 exists.
This could be a win-win situation for the taxpayers and the district.
There may also be a discrepancy in the property numbers. According to the
