The new minimum score requirement will go into affect in 2010, affecting numerous schools already (or in danger of being) deemed "underperforming" by the state. The ruling is sure to have an affect on curricula and teaching in classrooms across the state, especially in schools with high populations of English Language Learners (ELLs) and immigrant students. posted by nick  # 7:41 PM Comments: Post a Comment < << Home	News MassLive Daily Hampshire Gazette Valley Advocate The Daily Collegian WHMP Living Craigslist Western Mass Forbes Library City of Northampton Clean Water Action Mass Bike Pioneer Valley Art Iron Horse Entertainment Pleasant St. Theater Academy of Music Food River Valley Market Co-op Delivery Express The Dirty Truth Beerhall Local Businesses Pedal People Pleasant Street Theatre Video Interlink Publishing Archives October 2006 November 2006
