South Jersey's first female state champ named RV's girls' head coach

Kaila Mungo set the standard for girls’ wrestling at Rancocas Valley Regional High School. Now, she’s going to lead the Red Devils. The first state champion in South Jersey girls’ wrestling history, Mungo was recently approved as the new girls’ head coach at her alma mater. “Kaila is a true trailblazer who holds a special place in our program’s history,” Rancocas Valley athletic director Mike Lamb said in a press release. “Her wrestling experience, fierce competitive spirt and passion will help our student-athletes grow both on and off the mat.” Mungo’s rise in the wrestling world may have been a surprise to some. She was a standout softball player for the Red Devils and went out for wrestling as a way to stay in shape for her work on the diamond. “When I first started wrestling, I knew absolutely nothing," Mungo said in a press release. "But I quickly developed a passion for it and became determined to learn as much as I could. I started obsessing over learning new positions, mastering different moves and finding ways to improve my skills." Mungo would be a diamond on the mat when she won the heavyweight title in the 2019 NJSIAA state

Philadelphia state test scores are months late. Now state officials want to change the cut scores.

Keep Chalkbeat’s valuable education coverage at the top of your feeds by clicking here and checking the box next to our name. Pennsylvania state officials have proposed changing how they score students’ performance on state math and reading tests, making it easier for students to be considered “advanced.” The proposal , which Pennsylvania Department of Education officials shared with the state’s Board of Education Thursday, would have implications for how the state measures student achievement and schools’ success, and would apply to tests students took months ago. It comes after months of uncertainty over delayed test results in Philadelphia, where families and teachers have repeatedly asked officials to release the scores they usually get in August. State officials acknowledged the department’s cut score review contributed to the wait. “This delayed reporting. It’s not great timing,” Brian Campbell, director of the Department of Education’s bureau of curriculum, assessment, and instruction, told board members Thursday. But he said the state was overdue in updating score thresholds set more than a decade ago, and this would create “a new baseline.” Students take state tests every spring to evaluate whether
