ACT Update

Bill Loss presented a change to the testing schedule for the Spring ACT in which Juniors taking the exams on March 1 will be in attendance while non-Juniors will not be required to report to school on that day.  The intent is to foster greater concentration and effort for the ACT, which is now part of the Wisconsin State Accountability System.
