Doug Clark reports on his blog that state Senate democrats introduced a bill effectively prohibiting any and all athletics at any school where a majority of students score below the 50th percentile on end-of-course tests for two or more consecutive years.
You can thank Sen. Charlie Albertson, D-Duplin, and co-idiots Tony Rand, D-Cumberland, state Senate majority leader, and Dan Clodfelter, D-Mecklenburg, co-chairman of the Finance Committee.
These fools can't find time to solve the delayed state tax refund problem, but they have time to find ways to punish 100% for the actions of less than that.
NCLB low-stakes test data is not supposed to be used for this purpose, nor are their scores supposed to be used to either hire or fire teachers. And if they want to help failing schools, then contribute to the discussion or come up with a better way other than this.
Jerks.

Perhaps the legislators should focus more on why students do not have equipment to use while they are in school trying to learn during classes like Chemistry, Biology, etc. http://www.digtriad.com/news/local_state/article.aspx?storyid=121229
