Gov. Martinez wants state lawmakers to pass legislation to keep third graders back if they fail to read proficiently. The governor is looking to change the law so that schools could hold back third-graders based on their lack of reading skills. Martinez says urgency is needed because 80% of the state's third-graders or approximately 12,000 students are not proficient in reading. However Sen. Howie Morales says holding back kids to improve student achievement is not so simple or as clear-cut as the governor makes it out to be.
