When we first aired our look at MEAP testing in Michigan schools back in 2003, there was a scandals brewing over several thousand tests that had been lost or misplaced by an out-of-state testing service hired by the state to administer the examination. This had left high school seniors wondering if they would get their $2,500 from the state’s merit scholarship funds in time to go to college in the fall. Many did not. And angry parents, meanwhile, complained that it was time to do away with MEAP altogether. So, last fall, Governor Granholm did just that when she signed into law a new testing system called the Michigan Merit Exam. The test will go into use this spring.
