A large group of area school superintendents are protesting the results of the ISTEP exam.
Superintendents from District 8 in southeastern Indiana sent a letter to state lawmakers and the State Board of Education this week taking issue with the accuracy of the tests and the school grades that would come out of the test scores.
The school superintendents said that while they believe in accountability, they think that the schools should be graded on more than just a single flawed test score. They asked state officials not to put letter grades on their schools based on the flawed exam.
Among the school superintendents signing the letter are school leaders from Flat Rock-Hawcreek, Decatur, Jennings, Brown county schools, as well as Seymour, Crothersville, Brownstown and Greensburg school districts.
