Last week, it
became clear in House and Senate
education committees»
meetings that not all lawmakers were on
board with the move to these grade - level learning expectations that would have brought Pennsylvania public school instruction more in unison with the standards that 44 other states and the District
of Columbia were in the process
of implementing.
In response to the defeat,
Board of Education Chairman Matt Poland called a special
meeting of the Hartford
Board of Education for tonight to re-vote the two proposed magnet schools and move forward with the idea
of a more public process to help the SAND Elementary School or another neighborhood school
become what is being called a «Lighthouse School» (whatever that is).
