Norfolk Schools Face NAACP Criticism Over Black Student Performance
Norfolk School Superintendent Albert L. Ayars says the district will reply to a 28 page NAACP report labeling black students as relegated to the scrap heap. The document cites high 10th grade competency test failure rates for black students and contrasts with white student pass rates. Banks, a NAACP consultant, argues major improvements are needed, while Ayars defends current policies as already in place.
