TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (WTXL) â In a year that s been anything but standard, concerned parents are pleading with district superintendents and the Department of Education to not require this year s standardized testing.
The Title One Advisory Council in Leon County sent a letter to the Florida Senate Committee on Education urging state officials to allow the robust progress monitoring required throughout the pandemic to take the place of this year s standardized testing requirement.
It says the in-person proctoring required for standardized testing would not allow for proper social distancing, a major concern for parents who opted for remote learning or who have students with heightened health sensitivities.
