What does the NCLB Waiver Mean for GA Schools?

In the confusion over NCLB and the rush for Georgia to escape its "narrow definitions of success", one might be compelled to ask, what will be our new measuring stick?  Well, it's called the College and Career Ready Performance Index.  (Georgia was one of only 10 states in the U.S. to be approved for the NCLB waiver.)

Below we have posted one of the best articles we could find to summarize how the waiver to NCLB will grant more flexibility in evaluating Georgia schools and how some school systems are already making changes to their daily schedules.   It's just too bad that we had to reach over to Cartersville to find a reliable news source on the subject.  Thank you Daily Tribune!
