• At least two Utah school districts Davis and Granite averaged test scores over three years to let 32 schools pass NCLB standards. Averaging is not allowed in Utah's blueprint for meeting NCLB standards.
• The U.S. Department of Education said Utah schools must stop averaging test scores to meet NCLB standards.
• The State Board of Education voted unanimously Thursday to inform school districts they can't use averaging.
• The board will petition the U.S. Department of Education to put non-uniform averaging in its 2008 NCLB workbook (the rules schools here will use to meet NCLB standards).
