“What you have just stated and what I have been told is that in order to have a fair test evaluation and compare apples to apples, the same test has to be used, which in the District is the Stanford 9, for the 5-year period. So that is the test now being given. If the District changes--I think it is called a criterion-based test-- and I gather the District is considering changing them, this control group would still have to take the Stanford 9 to see if they have progressed. Now I am told if somebody says, I am happy to change it, I am told you cannot get a fair test if we change it.”
