The Guarantees of a Wealth of Professional Development & Testing

Yesterday after school we had a faculty meeting for about an hour to hear about all the "wonderful" professional development opportunities and testing we will have this year.
Back in January and February (I imagine) some admin and Board folks got together and started mucking around with their favorite areas in need of educational improvement and now 7 months later we have this tangle of activities guaranteed to spend the approved budget, crush morale, and waste time.
In January someone with  a vested interest will try to pull some invalid and unreliable result out of the mangle of initiatives and testing to justify the call for more money in a certain area as time to approve the next budget rolls around.
