Comment on District gifted and talented test scores by Michael Kaushansky

Michael Kaushansky — Sat, 01 Jun 2013 03:05:04 +0000

The reason for the increase is a combination of Pearson having a completely screw up in their methodology coupled with DOE’s inherent desire to increase the pool for G&T to avoid criticism. After all, less people will complain if its a random selection versus a qualified selection. The Sibling policy kills me, if a student scores 99th percentile that student will be bumped to a sibling in the 90th percentile? That is crazy!

I can’t believe the level of arrogance that the chancellor would simply ignore the rules and reverse policy. Are my tax dollars paying that chancellors salary? If so – fired!

The objection wasn’t just to the elimination of the sibling policy but to the way it was eliminated – illegally. To change a Chancellor’s regulation requires a 45 day public comment period, which wasn’t done. Instead, the new policy was simply published (and, quite frankly, hidden) in the G&T handbook.
