The Seattle School Board was scheduled to vote at its meeting tonight on whether or not to lower the graduation requirement from a C to a D average.

While most citizens, parents, education advocates and even students think it's stupid to encourage stupidity, SPS leadership insists the change in graduation requirements actually increases rigor.  Yeah, okay.  In that case, totally genius.

It appears the decision will be put off until later this month, in order for the board to gather "more information" about the decision and its ramifications.

What's left to figure out, I don't know.  Maybe they're counting how many times John Stanford turns in his grave.
