flag Missouri lawmakers passed a bill to give public and charter schools A to F grades based on performance, aiming for greater transparency.

flag The Missouri House has passed a bill to assign public and charter schools letter grades from A to F based on performance data like test scores, attendance, and finances, aiming to boost transparency and accountability. flag Sponsored by Rep. Dane Diehl, R-Butler, the measure would have the state education department develop the grading system, with potential incentives for high-performing schools. flag While supported by some Republicans for driving improvement, concerns remain from Democrats and others about oversimplifying school performance, the impact on rural and struggling schools, and the influence of external factors like poverty. flag The bill now moves to the Senate for consideration.
