Periodic Assessment Boycott
STARTING JANUARY 27th!
Don’t turn in the tests!
Assessment should be between you and your students, not you and the bureaucracy!
On January 27, we launched a boycott of periodic assessments.
UTLA is calling for a complete boycott of all periodic assessments, Open Court Assessments, and any other district mandated tests that are NOT required by State or Federal law, or that aren’t needed to determine appropriate placement for a student, such as CELDT tests. We are boycotting the submission of the test data to the District. The first day of this boycott is January 27th.
