His recommendations were as follows: PROGRAM 1. Ure the Comprehensive Test of Basic Skills (norm-reference test) only in grades 2,4,6,8 instead of every grade from 2-8. 2. In place of administering the WISC and WRAT (individually admini- stered tests of intelligence and achievement) to every second grader, use a group test of academic aptitude. 3. Administer a second test of academic aptitude in grade 4. 4. Provide funds for the clinical use of the WISC and related tests as needed. 5. The further development of criterion reference testing-as exemp- lified by those LIRSP tests and Math placement tests already de- veloped--should be encouraged. A new committee should be con- vened immediately and charged with the responsibility of recom- mending a plan of how Lexington Public Schools should develop further such testing. This plan and accompanying budget should be submitted for consideration in next year 's budget.

He asked Dr. Monderer if the testing Committee would accept this alternative. Dr. Monderer said he felt the committee would be willing to review the sugges- tion.
