Here’s
a good op-ed from two state representatives that supports WSPTA’s Resolution18.13, which says no single factor should determine a student’s advancement
such as graduation from high school. HB 1046, the bill that has passed the
state House three times by a wide bipartisan margin, would still require the
statewide tests for federal accountability but would remove the link between
passing the assessments and graduation. WSPTA supports the passage of HB 1046
and encourages members to reach out to their senators to encourage a vote on
the bill.
