End the State Education Department's test-scores charade

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

52% : The current practice of releasing "preliminary" test results in late August and "verified" results in November(!) is a smokescreen covering up public schools that are serving kids, especially minority ones, poorly. Kids in grades 3-8 took statewide math and English Language Arts exams in the spring; machines can rapidly score the multiple-choice tests -- yet SED only released the preliminary data last week, and only to districts, not parents.
