Letter Published on High Stakes Testing

On Sunday, March 22, residents of Garden City and surrounding communities attended a local educational forum entitled "Common Core: Where Do We Go From Here?". On the panel of speakers was Dr. Peter Osroff, Superintendent of Garden City Schools. Notable in his presentation were cogent comments on the "manufactured crisis" created by politicians with the solution of Common Core and testing.

In support of his viewpoint, we submitted a letter to the editor of the Garden City News which was accepted and published in print and online editions, Friday, May 8, 2015. Click the Garden City News icon, above left, to read the text of the letter.
