PAGE received word last night that Gov. Nathan Deal contacted House Education Committee leaders and pressed them to hold SB 364 and to raise the emphasis of standardized testing in educator evaluation. Apparently, the Governor has threatened to veto the bill.
Contact House Education leaders and the Governor's office this morning and explain why testing and evaluation reform are critical for you and your students.
Or, join us at this afternoon's meeting and tell policymakers yourself. House Education Committee meets today at 2 pm in Room 606 of the Coverdell Legislative Office building at 18 Capitol Square, SW, Atlanta, GA 30334.
As always, please remember to use your personal email address and electronic device and contact policymakers during non-instructional time.
More on testing and evaluation reform HERE.
