This is a developing story and we look forward to hearing the discussion regarding this legal and political issue.

Governor Pence Takes Steps to Ensure Shortened ISTEP Test

1

 

Indianapolis – Today, Governor Mike Pence signed Executive Order 15-04 to shorten the length of the 2015 ISTEP test, which will be administered in March.

“Doubling the length of the 2015 ISTEP test is unacceptable and requires an immediate solution,” said Governor Pence. “As soon as I learned of this issue, I vowed to support efforts to shorten the test while preserving the accountability that Hoosier students and families deserve.”

The Executive Order, crafted in full consultation with legislative leaders, calls for a nationally recognized assessment expert to review the ISTEP test. It also directs the consultant to present the recommendations before the State Board of Education.

Without the action of Executive Order 15-04, Indiana schools are expected to experience a significant increase in testing time this March, largely because a pilot test, as recommended, was not administered by the Indiana Department of Education in either May or September of 2014. When asked in September if combining the required pilot test with the ISTEP test would add time and questions, the Department stated it would “add a few questions.” Below is a table depicting the length of time expected for the 2015 ISTEP test.

Grade 2014 Online/Paper Operational Total Time 2015 Online/Paper Operational Total Time Change in Total Time from 2014 to 2015
3 5 hours, 9 minutes 12 hours, 30 minutes 7 hours, 21 minutes
4 5 hours, 9 minutes 11 hours, 55 minutes 6 hours, 46 minutes
5 5 hours, 9 minutes 11 hours, 32 minutes 6 hours, 23 minutes
6 5 hours, 9 minutes 11 hours, 40 minutes 6 hours, 31 minutes
7 5 hours, 9 minutes 11 hours, 47 minutes 6 hours, 38 minutes
8 5 hours, 9 minutes 11 hours, 15 minutes 6 hours, 6 minutes

 

The Governor also reiterated his support for school accountability today.

 

“We grade students every day in Indiana. We should be willing to grade schools once every year,” said the Governor. “Our administration is committed to maintaining accountability within our schools and ensuring the best possible education for each and every Hoosier child.”

 

 

 

COA: Ex-husband entitled to legal fees for former wife’s contempt

0

Dave Stafford for www.theindianalawyer.com

The ex-husband in an acrimonious domestic relations case is entitled to $9,000 in legal fees a trial court awarded to him as well as judgments in his favor on parenting time and child support, the Indiana Court of Appeals ruled Monday.

Both the former spouses had been sanctioned for contempt in In Re: The Marriage of: Meleeka Clary-Ghosh v. Michael Ghosh, 29A04-1406-DR-275, but the largest was against former wife Meleeka Clary-Ghosh for failing to pay school fees for their daughter and her ex-husband’s resulting legal fees.

“The fact that the multiple contempt petitions were addressed at a single hearing and in a single order does not preclude the trial court from awarding Michael attorney fees. The trial court clearly took into account Michael’s conduct when it crafted its attorney fee award and in fact, ordered him to pay a portion of Meleeka’s attorney fees. We cannot conclude the trial court abused its discretion when it ordered Meleeka to pay a portion of Michael’s attorney fees,” Judge Michael Barnes wrote for the panel.

The appeals panel also affirmed the trial court’s modification of parenting time and child support and the denial of Clary-Ghosh’s request for appointment of a parenting time coordinator.

Barnes wrote that although Clary-Ghosh pointed out evidence showing that she and Ghosh did not get along, this fact alone is insufficient to establish that the trial court abused its discretion in denying her request for the appointment of a parenting time coordinator. “It was well within the trial court’s discretion to directly address the issues raised by the parties in an effort to reduce future litigation instead of appointing a parenting time coordinator. Meleeka has not established reversible error on this ground.”
