TAMPA — With students already preparing for the first round of standardized tests for 2016, state officials are set to finally decide what to do with 2015’s test scores.
Despite calls from the state’s superintendents to do without schools grades for 2015, the Florida Board of Education is poised to vote Wednesday in Tallahassee on new rubrics for school grades and student scores on the new Florida Standards Assessment.
Because of technical problems with administering the online-only test, scores won’t count against students this year.
However, those scores must still factor into school letter grades, which are used to determine school recognition funding and teacher evaluations.
