Coming up at KBE

The Kentucky Board of Education begins a two-day meeting tomorrow, and I'd rank four items as most likely to generate major news:

• New discussion on what is and isn't working to raise student performance in Christian, Jefferson and Union counties and Covington Independent.
  
• A matching discussion of what is and isn't working to raise performance statewide, as shown in recently released test scores.
• Work on the Board's legislative agenda and budget requests for 2010, likely to include steps that could enhance Kentucky's chance at Race to the Top funding.
• Selection of an "additional indicator" to be used for NCLB decisions about elementary and middle school progress.
