School Grading Talking Points
A request was made for talking points to share with parents regarding the problems with the current law. Talking points include:
- The Education Community had nothing to do with this Bill
- Assessments are based on faulty information
- High performing schools will have a difficult time getting an A because there is no way to show growth
- This system highly penalizes Title 1 schools and those schools with high populations of special needs students
- Low scoring schools will have negative economic impact on communities
- There are no benefits or consequences to this grade. What is the purpose of the grade?
- There are no resources available for failing schools
