When Bulloch County public school students set foot in their classrooms on Aug. 1, they will notice some changes. In the 2014-15 school year, Georgia will start a new assessment called the Georgia Milestones Assessment System, which is more closely aligned to the Common Core Georgia Performance Standards.Information on the test is still limited at this point, but the assessment will replace the Criterion-Referenced Competency Tests and End-of-Course Tests, which were administered for the last time in the 2013-14 school year. However, the Milestone tests, like the CRCTs before them, make grades three, five and eight “gateway years,” said Hayley Greene, the Bulloch County school system’s public relations and marketing specialist.
