PARENTS: We continue to hear about the resistance by SOME School Administrators to honor your DIRECTIVE to REFUSE to let your child participate in the Smarter Balanced Assessment this month. We are also hearing that some schools are ignoring these directives and administering the NAEP to their children.
We would suggest involving your local school board members if there is ANY resistance.
Check your school district’s web site to see when the next PUBLIC school board meeting is scheduled. Attend the public meeting and let your board members know that your directives are going ignored.
Send e-mails to your school Superintendent and copy all of your board members along with your State Senator. You can find your state senator here: http://gencourt.state.nh.us/Senate/members/wml.aspx
We would also encourage you to contact the local media and get them involved.
You have a right to REFUSE.
If you have an attorney, you may want to consult with them.
