The Albuquerque Public Schools board has narrowly rejected a plan to reimburse the state Public Education Department for costs associated with this spring’s PARCC testing. By a voice vote, without a roll call, the board voted 4-3 Wednesday night against repaying the state $1.4 million in administrative costs. The vote followed a brief presentation by Rose-Ann McKernan, APS’ executive director of instructional accountability, who explained what had been expected to be a fairly routine reimbursement approval. Superintendent Brad Winter and several board members did not return calls Thursday for comments on the vote. Ellen Hur, chief of staff for state Education Secretary Hanna Skandera, issued a two-sentence statement late Thursday blasting the board’s move. “It is absolutely reckless and inexplicable that a school board would refuse to pay for a service that is not only required by law, but is also critical in bringing $400 million in federal funding into our classrooms,” she said.
