Proposed Missouri standards overhaul alarms educators

Claudette Riley:

Proposed overhaul of state accreditation rules but remain alarmed by its far-reaching implications.
They continue to raise serious questions about the proposal, which, among other things, would
– increase the number of already controversial state-mandated exams,
– require districts to be reviewed annually, instead of every five years, and
– force districts to track the progress of graduates and to report a variety of new details, including how many students complete federal financial aid forms.
