[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why do they need these forms signed by everyone prior to testing even occuring?

Why not send these forms home after testing and contact only the narrow group of students this applies to?[/quote]

They are on an EXTREMELY tight schedule to complete the retakes.  From what my admin has told me, it takes up to 7 days after the list of names is submitted for an alternate version of the test to be assigned to the student (why it takes so long, I have no idea--that's a question for Richmond).  The SOL window for the state ends exactly 7 days from the last SOL given at my school (and this is after moving testing up 3 days to accommodate the retakes).

The school is trying to cover their bases so that if Larla falls in the retake window, they don't have to play phone tag for 2 days trying to get parental consent, and then miss the deadline.

I am a teacher, and I am turning the form back in refusing the retake.  It does not benefit my child in any way.[/quote]
