Local parents this fall should be getting back the results of a new state standardized test taken by students in third through 10th grades last spring. It’s the first year for the Alaska Measures of Progress assessment and has higher standards than the previous state test in math and language arts. Petersburg’s school board and staff heard about the results at a board meeting and a statewide conference this month.

Petersburg’s school board will wait until next month to decide on a new policy on memorials in the schools. The district is considering a policy that would remove existing tributes and the issue has sparked emotional testimony.
