    Hire MORE Teachers, Build MORE Class Rooms, Remove ALL Computers in Class Rooms below 9th Grade and STOP shortchanging our Schools. The Problem is, you give the Money to the Schools doing good and NONE to the Schools doing Poorly when it should be the other way around.

    Please post the individual school results. If you are poor or a minority student more than likely you will be in a school with very low scores. Over 2 years of Rocky Hanna and his hand picked political operatives, Kraul, Gregory, Cox making over $100,000 each while schools fail to teach students at high levels. Math scores, Nims Middle 74 percent in grade 7 Level 1 or 2, Griffin Middle grade 7, 75 percent Level 1 or 2. Rocky Hanna and his gurus in curriculum equal failure for our most needy students. Leon Schools home of leadership failure and a lack of classroom supplies, but if you are in the Hanna inner circle without so much as an application or interview you will be given over $100,000 per year salary while we are the 46th Lowest Paid Teachers in Florida.

    These test scores are not norm referenced. Look into how the test results are scored. The passing level is changed every year.
