Their school system has decided to deal with the problem poor results by telling teachers that assignments do not need to be turned in and no one should get less than 61% for any reason. No one fails, no one excels and everyone is happy!
How does that mesh with the federal testing requirements? Don't the students still have to pass standardized tests in order to prevent the school and/or district from being penalized?

During the School Board election Mr. Calleri pointed out that the construction budget was over budget and that the School operating budget will soon have substantial deficits. Current school board members vehemently denied the allegations.
We are ill served at all levels of government.
