What Chancellor Klein Must Do

Here are the key points:

NYC Schools Chancellor Joel Klein must act immediately to take New York State writing test scores out of 2007 middle-school admissions.

Then he must:

• Take NYS writing scores out of all significant evaluation and decision-making, including personnel and school evaluations.
• Demand that the state completely re-shape its approach to testing student writing.

Contact Chancellor Klein

Email, call or write to Klein and ask him to ensure that no child is left out of selective middle schools or programs in 2007 based on this year's writing test scores.
