Cathy Schroeder Quotations

We have rigorous monitoring of each and every scorer.

Because of this we're going back to see if we have accurate information on the school.

Parents will be receiving the letters this week.

Nationally, our students aren't competing as well as they need to be with other countries when it comes to science and math. We need to increase the rigor for students, especially since science plays such an important role in the job market.

We don't feel like the incident warranted an investigation.

We are constantly monitoring the scoring as they're happening.

We would never suggest teacher salaries are sacrificed for bonuses.

(St. Peter's) students had made tremendous learning gains, to a point where it was unrealistic.

This is not a year-round job. We test during the spring, and we grade the tests and everything is put to bed by May.

They must have at least a bachelor's degree to get a foot in the door. And we make sure they understand how each question should be scored.

There was no reason the school could give as to why this school made such gains.
