TN Education and Equity Coalition Cites Assets & Shortcomings of Proposed ESSA Plan
January 19, 2017
The Tennessee Education and Equity Coalition sent a letter to Education Commissioner Candice McQueen citing “assets and shortcomings” of the state’s proposed ESSA plan. The organization “applauded the state’s attention to historically underserved groups like racial minorities,” but raised concerns that some students may “fall through the cracks if schools aren’t held accountable for the performance of individual groups.”
