DeLaney on ILEARN: Governor and supermajority have failed us

State Representative Ed DeLaney (D-Indianapolis) issued the following statement after the release of the new ILEARN test scores:

“I am a member of the House Committee on Education. Here is what I’ve learned from a test that the governor and the supermajority do not want to use: they have failed us,” DeLaney said. “I agree with Jennifer McCormick, state superintendent of public instruction, except for one thing. The governor and the state legislature should be responsible for reviewing and creating a rational accountability system. It should not be the State Board of Education, which is an appointed body that has failed our state time and time again.”
