Florida Board of Education members on Monday called for as high as possible cut scores for the Florida Standards Assessments — even tougher levels than the Department of Education review panels have recommended.
They suggest that more Florida students might pass the test with lowered standards, but in the long run they won’t be as competitive nationally and internationally as they should be.
Groups calling for testing reform decry the idea of setting Florida’s kids up for failure with the use of made up score levels on a test of questionable reliability.
