It looks like a recent, very problematic report from Johns Hopkins University, “For All Kids, How Kentucky is Closing the High School Graduation Gap for Low-Income Students,” is likely to get pushed well beyond the Bluegrass State’s borders.
The publishers just announced a webinar on this report for August 30th.
Anyway, you need to get up to speed on why this report is build on a foundation of sand. You can do that fairly quickly by checking these blogs:

http://www.bipps.org/quality-control-problems-kentuckys-high-school-diplomas-part-1/
A third blog will release at 8 am Eastern tomorrow. It will probably link at
http://www.bipps.org/quality-control-problems-kentuckys-high-school-diplomas-part-2/
I won’t know for sure until it releases, however.
Let me know if you have questions and especially if this Hopkins report starts making the rounds in your state.
