The Gainesville City Board of Education heard a proposal to eliminate certain pre- and post-testing at a district level at its Monday work session. Jamey Moore, director of curriculum and instruction, suggested to board members that the system allow principals the chance to opt out of testing by using data the state now provides. “Because of the State Longitudinal Data System, we now have access to information that drives instruction on Day One,” Moore said.
