WORTHINGTON — Minnesota was granted a waiver in 2012 to the No Child Left Behind federal legislation that changed the accountability system for schools. Districts were previously measured solely on student proficiency that was measured through Annual Yearly Progress (AYP) reports. The waiver now measures districts on student growth, closing the achievement gap and increasing graduation rate, in addition to student proficiency.By: Katie Clarke, District 518, Worthington Daily Globe
