| Motion | Moved to have 4J School Board direct the District to ensure that 2021 annual Oregon state testing of math, language arts and science was conducted in a manner that took time away from in-person or synchronous online instructional hours. Mr. Torrey who questioned if there would be any legal issues. Miss Nesbit responded that there were no legal issues. Mr. Anderson expressed no concerns with the motion either. Ms. Newman asked if there would be additional testing in the fall. Superintendent Vandercar replied there would be collecting data but without testing. Ms. Newman said there was no good data this year. Mr. Torrey responded that Salem and the State of Washington had said no to Spring testing and would do it in the Fall. Ms. Delf added that different areas received different waivers. Mr. Lafer stated there would be no additional testing in the Fall per reference. Ms. Shabram suggested that it would be necessary to have information regarding which families were in, or out, and why |
