There’s a lot of testing going on in Delaware schools to evaluate how the educational system is doing.
But Education Secretary Mark Murphy says the state will provide money to see if there is some redundancy that could lead to the elimination of some of those tests.
He said that some of the assessment tests may wind up trying to measure the same thing.
Outside of the tests required by the state or federal government, Murphy said that individual districts would be able to determine what redundant tests might be eliminated.
Governor Jack Markell said while he firmed believed in testing he had heard complaints from parents and teachers that there is just too much testing.
