If I correctly understand this, the awards are based partly on the teachers' SAT or ACT scores ("the standardized tests used to get into college"). The complainants contend that their scores weren't accessible.
One would think that the testing agencies could pull the scores up, given the person's name, DOB, and Social Security number. However, I might be wrong. It's also possible that other tests, which might not have been saved, are meant.
Don’t you mean “the teachers’ CLASSES’ SAT and ACT scores?”
The teachers’ scores are long gone.
Let’s see, I took both the SAT and the ACT back in the 60s and my scores are still available. This appears to be nothing more than poor quality “teachers” who still think they should get paid for sitting in a room full of kids without offending anyone by actually teaching.
“Those who can, DO ... Those who can’t, TEACH ... Those who can’t teach, TEACH TEACHERS!”
I wonder how a student's SAT/ACT scores matter in the work-a-day world (today's teachers being those students). I understand the lawsuit on those grounds....
I saved my PSAT, SAT, GRE, Miller Analogies and LSAT paper documents from decades ago.
SAT scores are easy to find. Every college transcript I ever reviewed included the standardized test scores used for admission (and I looked for them). In most cases it was either at the top or the bottom of the transcript in the same area as the high school diploma and GPA.
