How district officials report data and how state officials collect it will be easier by next year, said Maridyth McBee, assistant superintendent for accountability and assessment for the state Education Department.

“It was really painful for districts,” McBee said. “It was painful for our office as well. That will definitely be better next year.”

Talks have already begun between local educators and state workers about how to improve the A-F system and what, if any, changes should be made to the formula.

State schools Superintendent Janet Barresi said Wednesday during the state Board of Education meeting that she's already started meeting with superintendents, principals, teachers and school board members to talk about the A-F grading system.
