Kingston prepares for standardized testing

Kingston schools’ free lunch for all plan paying off

Several weeks ago, New York State submitted a waiver to the federal government so that it would not be required to administer standardized tests this year. In the meantime, the state and local districts are preparing in case the waiver is not granted.

Superintendent Paul Padalino said in that event, grades 3-8 English language arts and math testing will happen over the course of one day instead of two.

At the high-school level, only four Regents exams will be offered: English language arts, living environment, earth science and algebra. There will be no hands-on section for the science tests. Passing a Regents exam will not be required for graduation. Local language tests will still be administered in-person.

“I’m working with the teaching and learning department over the next few days to put together our plan around that,” said Padalino. “3-8 testing will require some planning, but Regents exams will go on as they always do in Regents week in June.”

The two-week window for three through eight testing will begin April 20.

All tests are required to be administered in-person only. For the students who are remote, they wouldn’t take the test either way.

“We’re only allowed to give the tests in-person,” said Padalino.

Padalino said the district will update students and families when it receives more information and how things will operate when it comes time to test taking.

If the state receives a waiver, all of this will be moot, as testing will be cancelled.
