School board votes to lessen high stakes
The School Board of Lee County recently cast a unanimous vote to lessen the high stakes associated with state required end of course exams by eliminating the 30 percent weight the exam has on a student’s final grade.
Students enrolled in algebra I, algebra II, geometry, U.S. history, biology and middle school civics will continue to participate in the end of course exams for assessment purposes. However, the result of the assessments will have no impact on the final grade parents see on the report card.
Days earlier Superintendent Nancy Graham empowered principals to eliminate hundreds of end of year common course exams previously required in nearly every subject for use in calculating a teacher’s VAM score required for the statewide performance system.
