The plan allows removal or changes for underperforming staff and discusses risks of teaching to tests versus fostering critical thinking.

The department said the family had been promised no details would be shared and called CNN's actions indefensible while noting Stevens died in a September 1 attack in Libya alongside three other Americans.
