I sent the following email to the entire Red Clay Consolidated School District Board of Education and Dr. Merv Daugherty, the Superintendent of the district. I am posting the email because I have heard similar complaints from parents several times since the Smarter Balanced Assessment came out in 2015. What is the point of having a policy if the schools ignore it?
Definitely a cultural issue at certain schools. In the elementary school my 3 attend, there has never been a single issue, not with the admin, not with the teachers, and not with district office. I’m sorry to hear there are some schools that aren’t quite so accommodating. Hopefully next year when my oldest goes to middle school I’ll get to tackle that head-on 🙂
