State board of ed acts
after plan given green light by feds

With an official OK from the U.S. Department of Education, the Kentucky Board of Education Tuesday formally expanded this year’s state assessment testing window to allow districts to get in more instructional days and make up for time lost due to weather and flu-related closings.

The state board unanimously approved giving all school districts a choice of four testing windows: April 19-30, April 26-May 7, May 3-14 or May 10-21. According to
Department of Education Deputy Commissioner Larry Stinson, all districts may choose to delay testing from the original testing start next week, regardless of
whether they have lost days this year...
