Review Accountability Metrics
The board resumed its work session at 3:53 p.m.
Dr. Kubista reviewed the accountability metrics associated with the new Accountability Bill.
Board members noted that this bill is similar to No Child Left Behind. They also noted that this bill is another unfunded mandate -- that the state is not providing additional funding to schools to meet these expectations.
If the district does not meet the state-required expectations, the state will send coaches to the district.
