Click the LISTEN button to hear comments from Maryville superintendent Philip Pohren and assistant superintendent Jeremy Ingraham on KXCV-KRNW's Spoofhound Spotlight with Matt Tritten.
Speaking on KXCV-KRNW's Spoofhound Spotlight, superintendent Philip Pohren was among more than 90 superintendents attending this month's state board of education meeting where the public release of district grades was delayed until at least mid-November.
Pohren says the $7 million dollars to implement the rating system could be better spent.
Pohren also says the executive order is required by public school districts while it is optional for private schools.
Maryville's assistant superintendent Jeremy Ingraham says the grading system can not be equally applied around the state.
The state board will assign each public school, charter school, and district an overall letter grade on a 100 point scale.
