American History and Government field test Update from DESE



The Spring 2009 American History and Government field test is no longer required. Missouri has had an increased enrollment compared to the early predictions and therefore DESA was able to meet the needed sample requirements with less districts participating. KHS will not be receiving any testing materials for the American History and Government EOC field tests.
