The Florida Board of Education has approved a plan that will set different standards for progress in reading and math for students based on race and ethnicity.
The board’s strategic plan calls for 74% of black students to be reading at or above grade level by 2018, while seeking to achieve that level for 90% of Asian students, 88% of white students, and 81% of Hispanic students. There are similar targets in mathematics.
