Area educators weigh IQ tests and cultural bias
Five valley districts, before and after California AB 665, support continued use of IQ testing with caution about cultural bias. Officials from Amador, Pleasanton, Livermore, Murray, and San Ramon Valley districts argue tests measure verbal skills linked to academics, not innate intelligence, and stress responsible use alongside broader evaluations.

California tests reshape measure of student learning
California lawmakers approve Leroy Greene’s plan to end mandated IQ style testing at mid sixth and 12th grade, shifting to statewide sampling to gauge education quality. A $235,000 baseline testing program covers first grade and regular achievement tests in grades two, three, six and 12, with districts unsure of full impact.
