The jury is still out on the new FSA

There have been many stories in the news the past couple of weeks about the new FSA (replacing FCAT).

Governor Rick Scott issued an Executive Order Tuesday to suspend the 11th grade Florida Standards Assessment English Language Arts exam. Governor Scott says he wants the test suspended until Florida lawmakers have an opportunity to consider new laws to eliminate the mandate.The elimination of the test follows an investigation conducted by Commissioner Pam Stewart recommending a reduction in the number tests Florida students in public school are required to take.

There have also been numerous reports about technical difficulties with the computerized testing, and large districts like Miami-Dade and Broward have elected to cancel their testing.
