Ohio’s public school districts should come up with a plan to address learning loss by April 1, Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine said in a coronavirus briefing on Tuesday.
The ask comes a week after the Ohio Department of Education publicized a report which showed losses for Fall 2020 in both kindergarten readiness and third-grade English language arts scores, two landmark state assessments used to guide a student’s future. The report showed almost half of the students for the literacy and language sections of the kindergarten tests scored “not on track” and proficiency rates in third-grade tests dropped 8 percentage points.

For your consideration.
Kind of ironic how April Fool’s Day is the deadline for this.
A new governor?
It’s perfect.
“easily led” is the key to global marxism
I’m sure he’s losing sleep over this
11M population, 3200 new cases yesterday.
DeWine is the problem.
I agree - he’s the biggest problem.
Need a plan.
How about re-opening the schools?
Where’s my $350,000 for the study?
It’s a bit mere than just that.. Yes, schools need to completely open, but this is talking about how they’re gonna play catch-up from the lack of schoolin’ the past year, how to get the kids back up to their normal underperforming levels.
AGE MATTERS...
My grandkids are having a horrible time. Madison county Ohio and they have very poor connections. My 3rd grader miss his zoom meeting and will prolly get a zero because the program could not load. WTH!
Have the every student repeat the grade. At $15 min wage they are not going to get hired when they graduate.
OHIO PING!
Please let me know if you want on or off the Ohio Ping list.
