The Virginia Senate has passed a series of bills to delay or weaken some of the controversial education accountability measures that were enacted in recent years.  One addresses the policy of grading schools using an A through F system that aimed to make school performance more understandable to parents.  As Virginia Public Radio’s Anne Marie Morgan reports, other bills would modify the rules governing when schools would be transferred to oversight of the newly created Opportunity Educational Institute … and cut the number of Standards of Learning assessments.
