INDIANAPOLIS â After school years disrupted by COVID-19, most educators expected standardized test scores to suffer.
That panned out, both statewide and locally as most school districts saw passing rates for Indianaâs ILEARN test drop in 2021, with some districts losing 10 percentage points or more compared to their 2019 figures.
To start with, ILEARN has never had good passing rates â the wide majority of students in Indiana donât pass both math and English portions of the standardized test, which is given to students in grade 3-8 as well as high school sophomores.
Statewide, the 2021 passing rate for both portions of the test dropped to 28.6%, a sharp decrease from 37.1% passing rate in the 2019 testing season.
KENDALLVILLE â East Noble Superintendent Ann Linson will be leading the district for just a little bit longer past her retirement date.
East Noble is in the process of hiring her replacement, but will need just a little more time beyond June 30 to finish up the process.
On Wednesday, the school board approved a contract to keep Linson on staff as interim superintendent for a short period, contracting at a daily rate of $650 per day for time worked effective July 1.
East Noble is in the process of hiring a replacement for Linson, who announced in March she would retire effective June 30 after 11 years leading the district.
