JACKSON, Miss. (WLBT) - School hasn’t looked the same for any district across the state this year. And the State Board of Education is recognizing it is what they’ve called a “transition year.”
“No one wanted to be penalized for a situation that is totally out of their control,” said Kelly Riley, Mississippi Professional Educators Executive Director.
That’s why the State Board of Education is seeking to waive some of the usual accountability measurements, including not assigning new A-F grades to schools this year. The high school exams usually required for graduation and the third grade reading gate will be taken but student’s won’t be held back based on that grade.
