The Delaware State Board of Education released the agenda for their August 18th meeting, a week from today. Included in the agenda was the Delaware Department of Education personnel changes. One of the employees leaving the Delaware DOE is Brian Touchette.
I always felt kind of bad for Brian. He was the front guy at the DOE for the Smarter Balanced Assessment when they were doing the field test for it and when they were determining accommodations for students with disabilities. When the opt out movement started kicking up dust, Brian went from Assessment Director to an Education Associate in a very short time after two Delaware PTA Opt Out Town Halls. I gave him a rough time at a Governor’s Advisory Council for Exceptional Citizens meeting about accommodations a couple of years ago.
I haven’t heard much in the way of Touchette news since those opt out town halls and I wondered what became of him. But it appears Touchette is no longer with the DOE now. Good luck Brian!
