SCHOOL BOARD TO CONSIDER PARCC TEST OPT-OUT PROPOSAL TONIGHT

The Board of Education plans to vote tonight on a controversial proposal that would allow parents to have their children opt out of the PARCC tests, which have drawn fire for taking up weeks of school time and adding to the already over-hyped use of standardized tests.

The board debated the issue earlier this month, with some opposed to it and others saying parents should have the right to decide.
