Mrs. Pam Stewart
Commissioner of Education
Florida Department of Education
Dear Commissioner Stewart,
Please stop using 4th grade NAEP scores to demonstrate the success of education reforms in Florida. We all know the 4th grade scores are artificially elevated due to mandatory 3rd grade retention. So, please, just stop.
Thank you,
Sue Woltanski and Suzette Lopez

LOVE your brief letter!!! Can you send her another one and ask her why she lied in the senate education appropriation meeting on 3/4/15 by telling the senators the FSA was “absolutely reviewed and is psychometrically valid and reliable” and then “hired” Alpine Testing Solutions (partners with AIR) to conduct a phony, bogus, ludicrous validity study that cost $600K? A study that claimed the test was “valid”. Pam Stewart is a liar.
