Education Subcommittee on Expectations & Accountability

One of the key issues in K-12 education is testing, and it leads to a lot of questions. For example, are we testing the right things for students? How much does it cost to administer the tests? Are we testing too much and teaching too little? Senator Rummel is co-chairing a Senate Education Subcommittee on Expectations & Accountability that is looking at this issue. She and Rep. Kathy Brynaert of Mankato are also co-chairing a Joint Education Policy Accountability Work Group so that both the House and Senate can hear about the most efficient ways to measure student achievement. For more information on this work group, I encourage you to contact Senator Sandy Rummel's office.
