This proposed system is too complicated and difficult to understand. There is no need for new labels, beyond what the federal government requires. All of the percentages and calculations make it difficult for parents and families to understand. Just present the information simply without manipulating it. Weighting attendance more than federally required punishes schools for something that they can’t control. Adding additional tasks or assessments takes away from instructional time in the classroom and adds extra burdens to our overworked teachers. Instead of spending all your time on this, why don’t you focus on how to improve instruction and retain teachers
