ISTEP Testing May Move To The Spring

Last updated on Friday, February 3, 2006

STATEHOUSE—The Indiana House has passed a bill that would move ISTEP testing to the spring, this despite a plea not to do so from Republican State Schools Superintendent Suellen Reed.

The bill passed by a 52-47 vote.

Gary Democrat Vernon Smith, a co-author on the bill, voted against it.

Smith says he wasn't given the opportunity to ask questions about some funding and time line concerns.
