capecodder, In light of the date of this letter -- April 199, which is only 4 months after Gov. Bush first took office as governor -- it may well be that he was initially planning to require the voucher private school students to take state assessments, but, after thinking about it more, dropped that requirement. It seems to me this is what happened, because I know the students are not required to do this at all in FL.

April 199,= April 1999,

I know the students are not required to do this at all in FL.

And, the reason I know this, above, is because it is something the Dem leaders tried hard to make an issue out of -- there no "accountability" in these private schools, to which Gov. Bush has responded: the parents regulate these schools. I will post a recent NYT letter written by Gov Bush, where he said something to that effect again.

Re: your post #165.

Bush may not be requiring the assessments now but his brother will want the data in return for fed funds.

All in good time.
