Land O’ Lakes, FL – (July 16, 2013) – I support the Florida Board’s decision to approve Commissioner Tony Bennett’s recommendation to revise the state grading formula so that no school drops more than one letter grade. This is a good start, and assuring that we have stability as we transition to Common Core State Standards is essential to the credibility of Florida’s School Accountability System. In the long run, it will be important to evaluate the calculation of school grades to accurately reflect all factors that contribute to student success.
