District excuses don't wash

Dear Editor: Re: School district stands by information fee, The Record, March 7. For the school district to suggest that the collection of five years of math marks is a difficult task for them is ridiculous.

For the school district to suggest that the collection of five years of math marks is a difficult task for them is ridiculous.

If the school district followed their own policies regarding assessment, evaluation and reporting, the information would have been collected at the end of each semester going back much longer than five years.

It reminds me of a child complaining about the unfinished science project due in the morning, when they've had weeks to work on it. If the district isn't keeping track of what they are doing, then what are they doing?
