Gen: library as test center

[CHRISTINE HARLEY <christine_harley@GMAIL.CHARLESTON.K12.SC.US>]

For 29 years the library at our school has been opened every day that
the school has been opened.  We have prided ourselves in being available
for all students at all time.  NOW... we have a new administration and
they have decided to close us for 3 days, so that they can use the space
for standardized testing.  To say the least we are not happy.  I need to
know if this is happening to you.  I am looking for ariticles concering
best practices for standardized testing, and I am struggling a bit.  I
can't believe that having low achievers sit in bulk at library tables in
a huge  room is conducive to better scores.  I think the administration
is taking advantage of us, and need some ammunition.  Can anyone help?
Thank you,
