“We believe in accountability and strong accountability,” Barresi said. “Under No Child Left Behind every district worked hard to make sure they hit just kind of a golden number, if you will, just hit that test score number. And actually what happened is that led teachers into doing drill work with their classes. Well, no more.”
Oklahoma will learn later this month whether the state has been granted a number of exemptions from federal education law in exchange for new reforms developed by lawmakers and Barresi.
Barresi was a guest on the Oklahoma Republican Party’s Facebook Town Hall on Monday and the interview was streamed live online. In the weeks leading up to the interview, Facebook followers posted questions for Barresi on the Republican Party’s Facebook page.
