AHSD Receives Dept. of Education Notice
Font size: [A] [A] [A]
The Abington Heights School District administration has conducted a thorough analysis of a Pennsylvania Department of Education (PDE) report and was able to demonstrate in its response to the PDE that the report misinterpreted data and drew the wrong conclusions about Pennsylvania System of School Assessment (PSSA) results in the district.
In a letter dated January 5, 2012, five months after the Abington Heights School District's response was submitted, PDE Deputy Secretary for Elementary and Secondary Education Carolyn C. Dumaresq, Ed.D., acknowledged Abington Heights School District's response and notified Superintendent Michael Mahon that no further inquiry was necessary.
"The letter completely vindicates our strongly-held position that no Abington Heights student or employee acted inappropriately in any way," said District Superintendent Michael Mahon regarding the allegation that students cheated on the PSSA exams. The matter is now considered closed.
