Depressed that efforts to meet Vision 2016 goals in the Charleston County School District have sputtered, administrators want two groups of students excluded from the PASS statistics.
In other words, McGinley doesn't think that the progress of special needs students and second-language learners should count. So why did she include them originally? Probably to comply with NCLB mandates.
If she wishes to do so, McGinley can get the percentages on the PASS for each of these groups quite easily. They still are a part of the school and community and should be treated as everyone else, including being counted in overall progress reports.
Stop playing around with the statistics, Nancy. Just because McGinley's percentage of failing schools looks better since five were closed doesn't mean those students are served any better. Neither would the boost to PASS scores from eliminating two groups of students serve them.
We all know who's being served.

Quantitatively there are too mane special education students in CCSD to exclude all of them. Bottom line: Board member need to ask one question: How many students are we talking about?
