Riles calls state testing program useless
State schools chief Wilson Riles told county superintendents the statewide testing program for elementary and high school students is completely useless. He said first to third grade reading tests do not improve education and argued funds should be redirected to other educational needs. He also supported the state Supreme Court ruling that California's school finance system is unconstitutional due to inequities against poor districts.
