State pulls Cutie on schools here
During the first two weeks of this month fifth eighth and 11th grade students in the Corry Area School District took part in a state mandated Educational Quality Assessment. The survey stirred controversy with rumors of odd questions. Parents were told forms could be skipped and names not required. The district provided a copy for inspection and parents could excuse participation in writing. The State Board tentatively made the EQA optional for one year, prompting criticism from the public. Superintendent Charles W Kreps called it very poor timing.
