Indiana State Board of Education (SBOE) staff will host two public hearings regarding proposed changes to A-F Rules [a hearing in southern Indiana was held this morning]. The proposed change in the A-F model would factor the growth of all students into a school’s grade. The current model only factors growth if a minimum threshold of students showed high growth at that school. Hearings will be held on the following dates:

• 9 a.m. Feb. 26
  Marion High School, Board Room #4-4
  750 West 26th Street
  Marion, IN 46953
• 9 a.m. Feb. 27
  Indiana Government Center South, Conference Room C
  302 West Washington Street
  Indianapolis, IN 46204

All public comments will be given equal consideration regardless if submitted online or at a public hearing and will be reviewed by SBOE members. Comments may be submitted until March 13. Changes to the Proposed Rules may be made as a result of public comment.
