Outgoing school boards leader reflects on worth of standardized testing

Al Marlin, NYS School Boards Association

After two decades, the executive director  of the State School Boards Association, Tim Kremer, has decided it’s time to retire.

He shares his insights with WXXI’s Karen DeWitt, including how he came to believe that all of the emphasis on standardized testing in recent years, may have been a mistake.

Kremer's successor is Robert Schneider, who's been chief operating officer at NYSSBA since 2014.

Karen DeWitt is Capitol Bureau chief for the New York Public News Network, composed of a dozen newsrooms across the state. She has covered state government and politics for the network since 1990.
