_________________________________________________

I'm pleased to announce that FCAR will have a representative on the external advisory group that will assist the Department of Education in identifying an independent, external group of testing experts to review the data from 2006 and recommend a procedure for establishing an annual review of the test.

I had a call from the Commissioner's office this morning, letting us know that the advisory group meets in Orlando tomorrow and inviting us to appoint a representative. Dr. Robert Lange, retired UCF professor of educational measurement and FCAR stalwart, will represent FCAR.
