Board Reacts To MO A-F Grading System
The Webster Groves School District Board of Education at its Sept. 24 meeting heard an update on new state framework that will assign letter grades to Missouri public schools. The executive order, issued by Missouri Gov. Mike Kehoe in January, directed the Department of Elementary and Secondary Education (DESE) to create framework that will produce annual grade cards for public districts and individual schools.
