MATTERS NOT REQUIRING BOARD ACTION

High School Equivalency (HSE) Test Update – The Committee was provided an update on the results of the Request for Proposal (RFP) that was issued for the High School Equivalency (HSE) test.  The survey that was conducted in January-February of this year resulted in strong favor of a three year phased-in approach to the Computer Based Test.  SED had a six person expert panel score the two RFP’s and McGraw-Hill scored highest overall and had the lowest cost.  Vendor responsibilities and benefits of competition were also discussed.
