## Noteworthy events[edit]

### 2016: New district religion policy[edit]

In the summer of 2016, the Williamson County Board of Education started discussing updates to the district's religion policy in response to a new state law. Prior to the discussions, the district only had a religious holiday policy, but the board sought to amend that policy to ensure it met the new state requirements that religious themes be presented in a factual and objective manner.[15]

The state law also required the school board to seek public comment on its new religion policy. Additionally, the district was required to give parents access to the curriculum and major assignments in social studies, science, math, and English classes for grades six through 12.[15]

School board candidates weighed in on the issue in a candidate forum on June 2, 2016. Most of them were in favor of teaching religion in a historical context and at higher grade levels.

The state bill on religion policy was introduced in January 2016 in response to "statewide concerns about religious indoctrination in public schools," according to The Tennesseean.[16] It was signed by the governor on March 29, 2016.[17]

### 2016: Testing suspended in wake of state terminating TNReady contract[edit]

After the Tennessee Department of Education terminated the contract with the provider of the state's new TNReady test assessments on April 27, 2016, Williamson County Schools halted its assessments for all students. Education Commissioner Candice McQueen said the contract was terminated with North Carolina-based Measurement Inc. after it failed to deliver all of the testing materials.[18][19]

Education Commissioner Candice McQueen

McQueen called Measurement Inc.'s performance "deeply disappointing" after months of delivery delays and a failure to roll out the assessment online in February 2016. "We’ve exhausted every option in problem solving with this vendor to assist them in getting these tests delivered. Districts have exceeded their responsibility and obligation to wait for grade 3-8 materials, and we will not ask districts to continue waiting on a vendor that has repeatedly failed us," said McQueen.[20]

Measurement Inc. President Henry Scherich said the contract termination was a disappointment. "It has been a very difficult job, and we were within a couple days or so of having all the tests in the state," said Scherich.[19]

Scherich said that the company had been put in a "difficult, and even impossible, situation" after they were required to switch to a paper test in response to the failed online assessment, according to Chalkbeat Tennessee. McQueen said the state's contract had included provisions for paper tests in the case of technical difficulties.[20] As of the termination, the state had paid $1.6 million toward the $108 million contract.[19]

The state decided to continue testing high school students, as those materials had been received, but it suspended the tests for younger students. School districts that received the needed materials for testing younger grades were allowed to choose between continuing the assessments or suspending them. The state also gave districts a one-year reprieve for all tests, which Williamson County Schools used to cancel tests for high schoolers as well as younger students.[18][20]

Due to the suspension, accountability measures related to test scores, such as teacher evaluations, were also delayed for one year. Tennessee Gov. Bill Haslam (R) said that despite the delay, the state was still moving forward.[20]

“  | The failure of the testing vendor to deliver the tests and meet its own obligations does not take away from the fact that Tennessee has created our own, higher standards, we have an improved assessment fully aligned with those standards, and we remain committed going forward to measuring student performance fairly and ensuring accountability for those results.[21] |  ”
