The Anne Arundel school system has settled a 6-month-old lawsuit over a hefty fee it wanted to charge the public for the results of some internal countywide tests.

After demanding nearly $500 for the results of so-called benchmark exams taken during the 2008-09 school year, officials last month agreed to release the data for free and pay The Arundel Muckraker's court costs, which totaled $115.

Note: The Anne Arundel County Public Schools Superintendent is former MCPS Community Superintendent Dr. Kevin Maxwell.
