STATE PANEL SUGGESTS CHANGES TO STAAR TEST
A state panel is making recommendations to change the controversial STAAR tests for public schools.
The Texas Commission on Next Generation Assessments and Accountability backtracked on plans Wednesday to recommend Texas replacing the controversial STAAR Test.
Recommendations from the panel include shorter less intense tests rather than just one and putting paper exams on computers.
The panel will make recommendations for the Legislature before it meets next year.
The STAAR test has come under fire from students, teachers and parents.
In April more than 14,000 STAAR tests were impacted by a computer glitch, prompting state educators to waive promotion requirements for the year.
