Standardized testing compromise

Catholic schools in New Orleans are ready to accept a voucher system to allow taxpayer dollars to be used for tuition - but aren't sure they want the standardized testing that often accompanies those dollars. Sounds like they're willing to accommodate some LEAP testing, but don't want to release scores to anyone but parents. This is apparently in response to Louisiana Governor Foster's voucher plan that requires private schools who accept vouchers to also test all of their students.
