State Senator Wayne Niederhauser wants a school's performance to be summed up with a single letter, an idea several members of the Utah State School Board of Education resisted at the board's monthly meeting. The senator discussed details of a bill he is drafting that if passed would assign letter grades A, B, C, D or F, to schools based on their test performance. Niederhauser, R-Sandy (and the majority whip) said he sees his proposal as a way to simply convey to the public how schools are performing while also holding schools accountable.
Now, do you see why being involved politically and monitoring the legislature is important for all of us...not just UEA lobbyists and your local WEA and OEA leaders.
