Read by Grade Three
"Gov. Whitmer announced Thursday that all Michigan K-12 public and private schools will remain closed through the end of the school year due to coronavirus, joining 9 other states in doing so. This means there will be no state assessments or teacher evaluations, and that 3rd graders will not be held back under the Read by Grade Three Law's retention requirement. Schools will also shift to remote learning, and each district is to come up with its own plan to educate students at home that will be approved by ISDs. MDE is to develop a model template for districts to use in making this transition."   -- This Week in RBG3-Related News, 3/28/20-4/3/20.
