Education’s required performance level for promotion grade 4 (See MD Code, Education, § 7-
202. Minimum levels of reading ability) Screener results shall not be used for promotion
purposes. Students meeting promotion requirements shall demonstrate the following to be
promoted to grade 4:

a. Scoring above the required performance level of 735 on the grade 3 English language
arts assessment.

b. Scoring above the required performance level when given a reassessment opportunity.[/quote][/quote]

Trophy diplomas for the trophy generation.

This is why we need differentiated classes with actual cutoffs and different diplomas that tacitly say what kind of education level was achieved and not just meaningless catch phrases on a diploma that are ambiguous. Maybe even call one level a diploma and another one a certificate of achievement.[/quote]
