The city board of education will discuss a plan proposed by Superintendent A G Milley to promote students by studies rather than grades. Under the plan a pupil failing in one or two subjects could advance in other areas, making up missed work outside school or in extra sessions, and graduation units remain required. The approach aims to keep students in school who might otherwise drop out under the current system.
