Minimum School Performance Score Going Up

State superintendent Paul Pastorek now indicates that the minimum score is going up. According to a recent Times story, Louisiana started its improvement journey in 1999. In the beginning of the process, the minimum score was 30.. It moved to 45 and in 2005 it moved to the present 60 out of a possible 150.

Apparently the superintendent did not indicate when he wants to make this move.

The state average performance score is 86.3.

This of course places additional pressure on BTW and others striving to exit AUS status.

I can easily see a recommendation to move the minimum to 75.

I would certainly approach things from now until the change is debated and actually implemented as if it were something in the 75 to 78 range. Clearly, 60 is on its way out.
