Mark Johnson's rocky tenure comes to a close in familiar fashion

State Superintendent Mark Johnson will end his tenure this month the same way he started it four years ago – at odds with the State Board of Education.
The state board’s decision to require high school students and some middle school students to take End-of-Course exams in person during the pandemic is the most recent point of contention between the controversial superintendent and the board.
“[SBE] Chairman Eric Davis and the next State Superintendent, Catherine Truitt, disagree with my position and have declared that the State Board’s EOC rule is in effect regardless,” Johnson wrote in an email he shared this week. “This has put your local superintendents, school boards, and principals in difficult situations without consistent guidance on how to proceed.” ....

Growing concerns about in-person standardized tests during COVID-19 pandemic

RALEIGH, N.C. (WTVD) North Carolina Families for School Testing Reform is hosting an online student and parent event about concerns with in-person standardized student testing as COVID-19 cases surge.
Our mission all the time is for fewer tests, fairer tests and fruitful tests so we feel that the current mandate to require in-person testing is not checking any of those boxes, said Chelsea Bartel, a school psychologist and leader with NC Families for School Testing Reform. It s not going to be fruitful to measure skills right now in the midst of a pandemic. It s not fair to our students and families and communities who have chosen virtual learning. ....
