Buddy Collins, state board vice chairman, is chairing the task force, which consists of nearly two dozen people. 

 

The State Board is to report its decision to the North Carolina General Assembly’s Joint Legislative Education Oversight Committee by July 15, 2015. The General Assembly will ultimately approve the summative assessments, which are to be nationally normed, aligned with the North Carolina Standard Course of Study and field tested, according to the Department of Public Instruction.

 

Task Force members include State Superintendent June Atkinson as well as local superintendents, administrators, teachers, and testing and accountability directors. 

 

The meeting will be audio streamed at http://stateboard.ncpublicschools.gov/.
