Acrimony over AIMS in Arizona

Not much is chilly in sunny Arizona, but state schools chief Tom Horne felt the chill when he proposed combining Arizona's AIMS with the Stanford 9 exam. He believes Arizona's students are over-tested, and claims that his plan will save money, save time, and be ready by 2005. Apparently, some board members feel AIMS needs to be expanded, not shortened; others feel the public doesn't accept the current AIMS, and that expanding or modifying it will not help.
