Less than a month after the Department of Education touted the validity of a new standardized test, Florida school superintendents issued a statement saying they have “lost confidence” in the state’s public-school accountability system.
“We have witnessed the erosion of public support for an accountability system that was once a model for the nation,” the Florida Association of District School Superintendents said in the statement released Friday.
“Florida school superintendents stand ready to work with all stakeholders and the Department of Education to develop a viable accountability system and regain the trust of our students, teachers, parents and communities.”
