The House appears to be trying to zip through this morning's session. Speaker moving fast and not much debate.

[Andrea Zelinski @andreazelinski]

Meanwhile, the legislative website is falling apart. Can't watch video stream of session or check out the day's schedule.

[Andrea Zelinski @andreazelinski]

A couple interesting bills are up in the Senate today: heads up to potential priority schools, for-profit charters.

[Andrea Zelinski @andreazelinski]

Senate passes SB758, which says the ASD can't take over a school (in bottom 5%) if the student growth scores are "above expectations."

@GraceTatter Based on flawed tests and manufactured data? No.

Should schools in TN get letter grades? If you have thoughts, let me know! #tnleg #tnedchat

[Craig Fitzhugh @craigfitzhugh]

.@mikecarpenter1 @GraceTatter If state grades schools like we evaluate teachers, it won't be a/b improvement. It'll be arbitrary. #tnedchat
