Are CSR schools that use Core Knowledge required to administer the test?
Yes. As of 2002, any school that received a CSR grant in 2001 or later is required to give the test as part of the assessment process mandated by the U.S. Government as a condition for receiving a CSR grant. It is expected that part of the grant money will be used for this purpose. Administering the Core Knowledge Curriculum-Referenced test is one way that a CSR school can document compliance with this federal requirement.
