Ms. Abernathy informed the board that there were about 160 third graders not reading on grade level county-wide. Adjustments are being made at the schools to address this issue and there will be changes after the first of the year to get these students reading on grade level.
Ms. Abernathy concluded the meeting by telling the board that there is a move by some directors of schools and lawmakers to address tenure and assessment - some are asking not to be included in TNReady. She believes there will be more talk about this in the future and it may be something this board will need to address.
