Twenty-five superintendents from across Oklahoma are asking that State Superintendent Janet Barresi issue a formal response to the A-F school report card study by researchers at the University of Oklahoma and Oklahoma State University.
In an email sent Tuesday, the school administrators said they hope to see a “planned response to meet any or all of the recommendations within the report,” which was issued a month ago.
“It is clear that the recommendations meet the expectation (and can be incorporated as a part) of the A-F legislation currently in place,” wrote Sapulpa Superintendent Kevin Burr.
“Our mutual interests are in developing a system of statistically, accurately and fairly analyzing schools and reporting that information to multiple stakeholders. I look forward to receiving your response and to the multiple improvements to a system that currently does little to achieve our mutual goals.”
