No More “F” Grades for Florida
In a deal worked out Wednesday, the Florida state Board of Education is forcing 141 of the state’s failing public schools to make big changes. Among the reform measures, schools that received grades of "D" or "F" in the last assessment cycle will add reading and math coaches for low-performing classrooms and mentors for school principals, reports NBC 12. The widely praised deal has been in the works for months, reports MATTHEW PINZUR for the Miami Herald.
