ALBANY, N.Y. (AP) - New York education officials
say they've set up a
website for reporting tips about cheating or other
problems with the state's school testing program.
Education Department Commissioner John King Jr.
says more than five million students take exams every year and the
results are critical to improving the performance of schools.
He says his department must handle any complaints
of fraud or impropriety efficiently to ensure the testing program isn't
compromised.
The new "Test Security and Educator Integrity" site
is set up to take tips about problems and comments about improving the
program.
