Truth Summary
Ritz’ critics, including a majority of the members of the state Board of Education, see her efforts to look for technicalities within the law as just another effort to derail accountability.
“It is not surprising that Superintendent Ritz is making yet another attempt to derail accountability,” Erin Sweitzer, communications director of the Institute for Quality Education, told EAGnews.
“She has consistently made this effort since the day she took office, which is disappointing because Hoosier students have proven that with high expectations, they can and do rise to the challenge.
“Indiana has seen student achievement steadily increase since these accountability measures were implemented, and we believe our students are fully capable of continuing that success.”
