Bethel Park School District Superintendent James Walsh is frustrated.
Each year he watches students sit for days at a time, scantron sheets and No. 2 pencils spread across their desks as they takePennsylvanias Keystone Exams and the Pennsylvania System of School Assessment, or PSSAs, as mandated by federal law.
Mr. Walsh also sees lost classroom time, tests that often dont align with the curriculum and results that arent accurate depictions of his students abilities.
