Well, this doesn't look good

Is DESE giving out the testing information piecemeal?

The email is coming from Jim McManus at Slowey/McManus "Strategic Public Relations" in response to an email from Linda Noonan, Executive Director at Mass Business Alliance for Education. Also cc'ed in are Lindsay Sobel, Executive Director of TeachPlus, Marty Walz of Democrats for Education Reform, Dave McGeney of the Peabody School Committee (Odd, since he's been hugely anti-PARCC), Tricia Lederer also of MBAE, Heidi Guarino of Education First, and Jason Williams of our old friends Stand for Children.
