Yesterday, Utah Governor Gary Herbert signed S.B. 59, which directs the state board of education to develop a school grading system (A through F) based on various indicators, including measures that indicate college and career readiness. The bill doesn't spell out the college and career readiness measures, but provides that these are to be determined by the state board.
It will be interesting to see which college and career readiness measures the state board ultimately selects, and whether the school grading system plays a role in improving college readiness and completion rates in the state.
