Looks like the answer to your question, OP, is “bad.” Of the four accountability categories (Distinguished, On Track, Off Track, or Needs Intensive Support), 60 percent of schools currently would fall under Off Track or Needs Intensive Support according to the DOE.

And that is Youngkin’s plan…. to facilitate the arrival of charter schools and eventually vouchers in VA.

His term is ending this in 2025 and he can’t be re-elected to a consecutive term
If he can accomplish his “plan” in that short time frame that would be an amazing political accomplishment since I have never see anything move that fast

Republicans play the long game.

For example: attacking women’s rights

I laughed when I read this - VA had a Democratic governor from 1886 to 1970
and from then on the Governor flip
flops every few years between the parties.

Just stick to making the bizarre random APE comments bc that’s all you are good at.

I didn’t make the original comment, but the right-leaning political group lobbying for this policy is certainly relevant in this discussion.

Republican trolls seem to get off on being intellectually dishonest. As we all know, conservatives (Ds now Rs) in the south, including VA, have been trying to trash public schools (and women) for decades.

OP merely asked about the actual accreditation policy and the impact it may have. Doesn't matter who or what led to the current accreditation standards - they just want to know what impact they may have. I'm really sick of the troll who apparently has assumed 24/7 duties to insert APE into every thread.

Hi I’ll OP and I’m interested in the APE angle. Good to know who’s in favor and why.

Geez you started another thread again so you can sock puppet about APE

What is the effect going to be? I'm in APS where there are a lot of ELLs and Title 1 schools.

There won’t be any difference. It will be easier to get data on your school. What are you specifically worried about OP?

So then why is that fcker Youngkin doing it?

As Virginia works to unify their bifurcated state accountability systems into a single system aligned with federal requirements under ESSA, the state has wisely proposed that the single system will follow the 3 semester exclusion requirements—a move that we strongly endorse. By the state’s own estimation, this change will allow for the performance of an additional 35,000 students to be included in school academic ratings statewide. While school and district leaders may be concerned that these changes could dramatically change how they are rated, this increase in the number of ELs whose performance is “seen” by Virginia’s accountability system prevents schools from masking the underperformance of ELs and will ultimately enable the VDOE to better support ELs. By more accurately identifying schools that need additional resources and support to address the needs of ELs, state, district and school leaders can more effectively support the unique needs of ELs. Given this, we believe it is imperative that the Virginia State Board of Education approve this change proposed by VDOE.
