TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (WTXL) -- Florida senators appear ready to consider standardized testing throughout the state.
This comes just after the Florida Department of Education announced they were launching an investigation, looking into how much time students spend on exams.
No bill has been created yet, but legislators spent about an hour yesterday grilling the Education Commissioner Pam Stewart about the tests, saying there could be an issue with the amount of time they entail.
According to the Department of Education, the number of hours students will spend on the state's main tests in many grades in 2014-15 is actually lower than the number of hours students faced seven years ago.
