MEAP exams moved back for DPS students

Friday, September 15, 2006

The Michigan Department of Education has agreed to adjust the test window of the MEAP and other standardized examinations for Detroit Public Schools students.



Due to the labor dispute with the Detroit Federation of Teachers, which delayed the opening of the school year, DPS Superintendent William F. Coleman III petitioned the state to give the District more time to prepare for the examinations.



The exams will now be administered on the following dates:



Oct. 18 – Nov. 7  - MEAP assessment, grades 3-9

Oct. 18 – Nov. 30 - MI-Access assessment, grades 3-8

Sept. 21 – Oct. 18 - English Language Proficiency Screener

October 10             - Submission of ACT Information Packet

November 1-14      - High School MEAP assessment
