Missourinet reports the federal government is asking the Department of Elementary and Secondary Education for proof that the MAP (Missouri Assessment Program) tests are a reliable gauge of whether the state is meeting No Child Left Behind requirements.
Federal money will be withheld from the state if the tests are found wanting. The 2005-2006 school year was the first one in which students in each grade from 3-8 were tested in both math and reading.
