“Charles Boyle, the deputy communications director from Brown’s office, told the paper in an email that staff from the governor’s office informed legislative staffers about the bill’s signing on the day it was passed. He also said that the new standards for graduation will help benefit the state’s “Black, Latino, Latinx, Indigenous, Asian, Pacific Islander, Tribal, and students of color.””
OK, Charlie.Splain how this change helps anyone? 47% HS graduation rate, state 37 in public education, I can see how lowering the bar benefits the state leaders but little else.
