Background: This report will provide detailed information related to standardized testing that was requested in Resolution 2021R-018 sponsored by Directors Baez and Peterson. This presentation will provide robust details related to time, effort and costs of standardized test preparation and administration in Milwaukee Public Schools. A school-by-school data chart is attached that outlines for each assessment testing time, professional development time, make-up time, costs incurred for preparation and administration of assessments, as well as closure times of library/media centers. The data was collected via a survey sent to principals. In addition, a district snapshot summarizes the rationale, format and estimated student testing times is included.
