State Board Of Education Rejects School Grading System

The State Board of Education has adopted a statement saying it is unanimously against issuing A-to-F grades for every public school in Michigan.

The bipartisan board opposes a letter grade accountability system as part of the state’s plan to comply with a new federal education law.

Superintendent Brian Whiston and the state Education Department had planned to implement the A-F proposal, but recently changed course after considering feedback from board members and others.
