Unbridled Learning Accountability Model Adopted

{Frankfort, Kentucky}...The Kentucky Department of Education is adopting the Unbridled Learning Accountability Model, replacing the former CATS testing system that was in place for 10 years. State officials say they expect scores to be 30 to 40 points lower, but under this new model, they also want parents to know these scores cannot be compared to previous years. Schools will be ranked across the state, and there will be added emphasis on college and career readiness. Officials expect to release last years test scores at the end of the month.
