Federal agency agrees to ease standards for Georgia students
AUGUSTA, Ga. (WRDW/WAGT) – Public faculties in Georgia could have relaxed federal requirements for subsequent faculty yr after a request by the state’s prime schooling official.
The U.S. Division of Schooling permitted state faculty Superintendent Richard Woods’ request to alter how the state can be held accountable for pupil studying.
The brand new requirements will think about limitations from the pandemic.
Listed here are the large adjustments:
- No letter grades or 0-100 scores.
- English language arts and math progress is not going to be reported.
- Georgia will use testing information to ascertain a brand new post-pandemic baseline.
- Pupil attendance is not going to reported, since that was impacted by COVID and quarantines.
There can be no adjustments to the best way the commencement fee is measured.
All of that is for the 2021-2022 faculty yr
