Lincoln HS Superintendent Praises PARCC Decision By ISBE

Area school leaders are praising the decision by the Illinois School Board to eliminate PARCC testing from the high school level.

 

Lincoln High School Superintendent Robert Bagby says the changes from the state are almost constant and while he's in favor of the PARCC tests going away at the high school level, he wants to see some consistency from the State.

 

 

Bagby says testing is something he is not a big proponent of testing students. He explains teachers need to be the ones responsible for assessing progress of students.

 

 

Lincoln High School is it's own district, and other schools in the community and Logan County feed into the district.

 

Bagby says that makes him having an opinion on PARCC remaining in the lowers levels difficult because he has been at the high school level for just short of a decade as he has a limited knowledge of the testing at the lower levels.
