MADISON, Wis. (AP) — There would be no school report cards with results of tests taken by students this spring under a bill that has passed the Wisconsin state Senate. There is broad support for the proposal passed Tuesday because of concerns related to the troubled implementation of the test and fears that students could fare poorly on it. This year’s test, known as the Badger Exam, is tied to the Common Core academic standards. The bill passed on a voice vote with no debate. It now heads to the Assembly. It would ensure that the test results aren’t used to measure either a school’s performance or be included as a factor in teacher evaluations until next school year. With no test scores, there would be no report card next fall.
