Proposals would change school report cards, in very different ways Jeremy P. Kelley Two competing bills to revamp the K-12 state report card for schools have been introduced, but a state school board committee declined this week to endorse either of them. The state board of education’s legislative committee approved a report card resolution Thursday. Like House Bill 200, the resolution supported elimination of the A-F letter grade rating system. And like Senate Bill 145, it supported creation of an “equity” component, making sure performance of all student groups continues to be assessed. Both bills have only had their introductory hearing so far, and it’s not clear whether one bill will advance nearly as-is, or whether amendments will create a compromise bill. Ohio’s largest teachers union, the Ohio Education Association, said it is just an “interested party” on both bills for now.
