Parts of Clarke County Schools' Charter Application 'Not Possible,' State Says
Tuesday, December 15th, 2015
Officials in the state Department of Education say parts of the Clarke County School District’s plans to become a charter district are “not possible.”
The “not possible” items are three waivers from policies the state requires public school systems to follow, including one that’s a kind of centerpiece for the school district’s plans — assessing teacher competence by measuring student progress in literacy rather than a homegrown system of “Student Learning Objective” tests, or SLOs.
