SALT LAKE CITY -- The Utah State Board of Education has released Adequate Yearly Progress reports on area schools, and most schools' scores reveal a mixed bag of academic strengths and weaknesses.

The small Morgan School District has the most to crow about, with all of its schools passing.

Surprising no one is the fact that the inner-city Ogden School District is struggling as a result of student poverty and a high demand for coursework in English as a second language.

OGDEN -- Teachers in the Ogden School District may not be the only Utah educators to find student achievement linked to their employment evaluations.

The Utah State Board of Education has approved the second reading of a proposed policy that would make all 41 districts statewide incorporate student achievement into their measure of teacher worth. The board votes in September on final approval of the rule, which would take effect in the 2012-13 school year.

Don Belnap, Ogden School Board president, said he has not yet thoroughly reviewed the state's proposed rule.
