I certainly hope Bob Ehrlich gets elected and appoints someone else in Michelle Wrights position. She is nothing but a RINO who caters to the Superintendent. Get rid of them all.

7 schools not meeting AYP; bus contractors hiring TJ Maloney; 20 year Magnet program dissolved; Millions in budget cuts; school administrators afraid to speak up; incestuous BOE relationships & Dr Freddy on a path of unfettered liberalism. Michelle Wright is no where close to being up for the task. She's a "POSER"!

Anon 7:09 AM she is a loser. She claims to be conservative but she has her nose so far of Dr. Freddy's but she has to breathe through a snorkle.

All schools are measured for attendance as part of AYP, even if they don't test.

Elementary students take standardized tests for reading, math and science.

* In 2008-2009 Maryland used the Maryland State Assessment (MSA) to test students in grades 3 through 8 in reading and math. The MSA is a standards-based test, which means it measures how well students are mastering specific skills defined for each grade by the state of Maryland. The goal is for all students to score at or above proficient on the test.
