Tennessee Democrats still want more answers from the state Department of Education on the late release of end-of-year test scores - and they've filed an open records request to fill in what they believe are gaps.

In a letter to Education Commissioner Kevin Huffman on Wednesday, Reps. Bo Mitchell, Gloria Johnson and Mike Stewart cited the Tennessee Open Records Act for emails and other documents distributed among the commissioner and other employees on the decision to delay the release of Tennessee Comprehensive Assessment Program scores.

"We are very concerned about your department's decision, on the day TCAP test results were expected by school systems, teachers, parents and students throughout the state, to abruptly cancel the long-planned distribution of test score information," the letter reads. "It seems improbable that your department was simply unaware that such an unprecedented delay would be warranted until the very day that the scores were to be revealed."
