June 30, 2017
According to Education Week, “Connecticut, Louisiana, New Jersey, Oregon, and Tennessee got preliminary feedback Friday from the U.S. Department of Education on their plans to implement the Every Student Succeeds Act, which must be approved by Secretary of Education Betsy DeVos.” Alyson Klein breaks down the feedback, noting, “It looks like Tennessee is being discouraged from using so-called ‘super sub-groups’ which combine different groups of kids—such as Hispanics, students in special education, and English-language learners—for accountability purposes.”
