Longer-form draft.
At the March 10 Board of Education meeting, a recurring concern from the community was brought to the forefront: the lack of transparency regarding how secondary students are being assessed. Several residents expressed frustration over the absence of traditional cumulative assessments, such as midterms and finals. The concern is that without these standard benchmarks, it is difficult for parents, educators, and the public to quantitatively track student progress or hold programs accountable for results. One speaker noted that the district may not truly know how students are performing cumulatively until SAT scores are released. While the Board defended current practices—asserting that assessment is ongoing through different methods—they acknowledged that the distinction between 'formative' and 'summative' assessment has caused confusion. In response, the Board has tasked leadership with preparing a follow-up presentation to clarify these methods and improve data sharing with community partners. Accountability requires clear, measurable data. We will continue to follow up on this promised presentation to see if it provides the transparency Stamford families are asking for. https://meetingwatch.org/ct/stamford/board-of-education/2026-03-10/ #MeetingWatch #StamfordCT
