Area school leaders continue to sing the praises of the removal of PARCC testing from the high school level.
Heyworth Schools Superintendent Dr. Ty Wolf says it should be a great thing not having to administer the PARCC tests at the high school level anymore. He explains, the SAT becomes the entrance exam for college bound students.
Dr. Wolf explains it is the goal of the district in Heyworth to show a year's growth in a year's time. He feels Heyworth is excelling at that and believes the ACT or SAT tests will be a way of showing that readiness for post-high school.
Dr. Wolf feels the rolling out of new technology in their classrooms this fall will be another way for students to continue to strive for excellence in the classroom.
We'll have more on the technology introduction in the Heyworth district next week on Regional Radio News.
