Task Force To Study Drop In Test Scores

KSCB News - September 19, 2012 4:26 pm

Kansas education officials say they’re forming a task force to look at the drop in recent test scores among some students.

State Education Commissioner Diane DeBacker said Wednesday the panel will be drawn from several districts and agencies, including the Kansas African American Affairs Commission.

A report released Tuesday showed the percentage of Kansas students meeting or exceeding standards in reading and math tests fell slightly in the 2011-12 school year. The declines were most significant among African-Americans, Hispanics, English language learners, students with disabilities and students who qualify for subsidized lunches.
