SLO testing changes

I responded to a TWITTER post by Superintendent R. Woods and he answered.

My question: Since we will not have GAMS testing at some grades, 4th, 6th, 7th, etc. will we now have to give SLO tests for those teachers?

His answer:  Yes, all subjects that are not tested by GAMS will now have to give SLO pre and post tests for the teachers' growth measure.
