Reject these inappropriate changes to accreditation standards
 

Please reject these inappropriate changes to accreditation standards. The result will be to penalize schools that are already struggling. I like the idea of transparency and accountability, but the process that has led to the changes being considered has been neither and will result in neither. It honestly seems design to sabotage public schools, especially vulnerable schools in low income areas. Instead, consider providing more state funds to these struggling schools. The end result will be better educated adults who will be more productive citizens.
