Blue Ridge Schools Superintendent, Susan Wilson, explains the new law, titled 'Every Student Succeeds Act' will replace the old law and it essentially, asks each school to set their goals in line with the federal standards.

 

 

According to Wilson, this will show up on the annual school report cards and they will receive a grade on things like attendance and academics.

 

 

While the system is new, Wilson is still unsure how things will work but calls it a more 'realistic' approach.

 

 

President Barack Obama introduced the measure in 2015.
