TN Education Commissioner Candice McQueen visits Farmington

This was a great and very informative visit/interview on the Read to be Ready initiative and how essential reading proficiency is for elementary students. Commissioner McQueen also discussed how Questar, the vendor for the state assessment, has succeeded in other states (such as Mississippi) and discusses how student proficiency may be affected with the new assessment. Full story (and more photos) in next week's issue!
