Excerpt from Cairo-Durham School Board meeting. Parent and teacher Tracy MacGiffert reads a prepared statement expressing her ongoing concerns about the Cairo-Durham grade realignment plan. MacGiffert describes what she believes to be a substantial negative impact the plan is having on students, teachers, staff, bus drivers, and parents alike. MacGiffert urges the Board to engage the District's teachers as they evaluate the grade realignment to-date; stating that it is the teachers' combined centuries of expertise, and first-hand knowledge of what is happening on a daily basis, which will provide the most accurate and valuable means for assessment.
