[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Sorry, this is OP. I guess the portion of the meeting I described happens closer to to 2 hours and 21 minutes in. I know people's attention span and patience is much shorter these days, so don't want that one minute difference to throw anyone off.[/quote]

You were 20 minutes off, so I don't know if you are someone to look to for math leadership.

Also, the answer wasn't "word salad"; it was accurate. Wolff asked about "standards based grading", and Loznak answered. Wolff was trying to ask something about whether the grades were against grade level standards, but she used the wrong term.

(Overall, I'm unimpressed with how the Board seems to know so little about the school system they oversee. Another board member said she didn't know they pay for curriculum material every year.)

When Wolff clarified her question, Taylor jumped on and interrupted while Loznak was thinking about her answer, I just as she paused to think about the answer to the previous question.

Anyway, after Taylor got his comedy moment in, the conversation just moved on to a different topic without getting into anything about what the district might do to either justify or mitigate the grade inflation.

So that was a big waste of time. [/quote]
