School districts in Allegheny County say they have found what they believe are errors in test data less than two weeks before the state releases performance scores for all 3,200 traditional, charter, cyber and technical schools in Pennsylvania.
Allegheny Intermediate Unit executive director Linda Hippert told the Pittsburgh Post Gazette on Friday that some districts discovered the problem after the state released value-added results earlier in the week.
Hippert says Pennsylvania's schools chief, Carolyn Dumaresq, assured her that the districts will be able to fix the data.
A spokesman for the state Department of Education says affected schools will have the option to suppress questionable data until corrections are made. Until then, he says the agency will computed a rating using available data and issue a revised rating later.
