State skimps on erasure analysis

Louisiana's Department of Education is willing to spend $44 million to the company that "prints, issues, writes, grades and analyzes Louisiana’s No Child Left Behind-compliant state tests."


But when it comes to paying for the erasure analyses that can keep the system honest, the state balks at paying a bit more than $58,000.
