Brickbats to the Florida Department of Education

Brickbats to the Florida Department of Education for constantly changing the rules on school performance by raising the state’s grading system and adopting the controversial policy of not allowing a school’s letter grade to drop more than one letter grade. Duval County Public Schools Superintendent Nikolai Vitti told The Florida Times-Union, “We must demand that we have a consistent way to measure academic performance in Florida or public confidence in the accountability system will continue to erode.”
