Rochester school board deliberates dropping ‘failing’ grades

The Rochester School Board’s Instruction Committee met this week to discuss the future of competency-based grading in the district and deliberated whether a “failing” grade should be eliminated from schools altogether ... The state currently only requires high schools to incorporate the competency-based learning system into their district while Rochester was recently applauded by the Alliance for Excellent Education for its ambition in applying the competency system.
