Instructions:


This story comes with eight photographs from the Arizona State Board of
Education's Sept. 28 meeting on school letter-grade reform. All eight were
taken at the same meeting and carry the same caption and credit — pick
whichever framing you prefer, or use more than one.

Download the images from the URLs below and host them yourself, or hotlink
them — either is fine. Each photograph must carry the credit line:

   Katie Wilcox / The Beam

Alt text may not carry over automatically if you download the files rather
than embed them by URL — if your CMS doesn't pull it from the file
automatically, set it manually using the alt text below.

The photos are optional. If you publish text only, no markers need to be
removed from the body.
