Goobernator Dave E. Deal has cut a deal for a golden parachute with the State Department of Education. As a part of the done Deal, Deal gets $107 million dollars to write a standardized test which matches Common Core tests.
Yeah. Right. Deal doesn't want Common Core. He will campaign against it if he's not in jail this fall.
So what does it cost now to double test kids in Georgia schools. According to the AJC,
According to AJC, Georgia spends $25 million now on all assessments in K-12, including end-of-course exams and financial assistance to students to take Advanced Placement tests. PARCC reportedly set a maximum cost to states of $18.50 per student (though PARCC would not confirm that figure). Based on the number of students who took English/language arts and math tests in Georgia this year, the Criterion-Referenced Competency Tests (CRCT), the hypothetical cost of the PARCC tests by themselves would max out at $27.5 million. (The CRCT is normally given to grades 1-8, but this year, due to "budget constraints," it was only given in grades 3-8.)
So if Deal doesn't get his Deal, Georgia pays $25 million for 'budget constrained' tests in five grades.
But Deal got his Deal so Georgia pays him $107 million dollars.
So somebody got hell of a deal by Deal's deal. About $75 million dollars has been flown out of Deal's ass for testing to Common Core Standards. Testing he refused to do for $25 million dollars.
Tell me you don't believe education gets pig piles of public phunding.
