• South County school districts react to new Missouri A-F grading framework (callnewspapers.com) — Affton families may soon see new A–F letter grades used to rate their schools, as Missouri rolls out a statewide grading framework for districts and individual buildings. Local superintendents, including Affton's, support accountability but worry about rushed implementation, shifting grade thresholds, and added costs for another reporting system that could confuse parents and staff.
