Warrensburg-Latham Schools Preparing For No Standardized Tests

The State's switch from the ACT to the SAT has left some school administrators scrambling to provide their students with opportunities for the tests that often are a measuring stick for universities.

For Warrensburg-Latham Schools Superintendent, Dr. Kristen Kendrick-Weikle, a standardized test not being available this year looks like a real possibility. She explains they have tried to do as much as they can to get their students to a test if they need it.

While many schools would like to be in a position to help their students pay for the ACT testing, Dr. Kendrick-Weikle indicates Warrensburg-Latham is among many who simply cannot afford to do so.

As far as the switch itself, Dr. Kendrick-Weikle feels the tests are very different. She explains what each tests measures is very different.

Dr. Kendrick-Weikle says when it comes to the assessments going out for bid and getting awarded to the lowest bidder, she is disappointed school leaders and higher education officials weren't more involved.
