Are Some Indiana Legislators Looking to Scrap FAILED Indiana Superintendent Tony Bennett ’s School Grade System?

Incoming Florida education commissioner said in an interview with Gradebook’s Jeff Solochek, “I was the person who was described as bringing the Florida reforms to Indiana.”  Well it appears one of those reforms isn’t seen as so great to some Indiana legislators. Jeff Schultz of the Chesterton Tribune writes:
Her lips are sealed for now but Indiana State Sen. Karen Tallian, D-Ogden Dunes, told theChesterton Tribune she is authoring a “major” bill dealing with education that she will reveal next week as the Indiana General Assembly gets underway starting Monday afternoon.
Tallian, who represents all of Duneland, said she will hold a press conference to introduce the bill. All state legislators have until Jan. 11 to introduce legislation they have authored or co-authored.
