GREENVILLE, Mich. (WZZM) - A one-month old infant died Thursday in Greenville, even after efforts of CPR by the child's father and emergency crews.

The Greenville Department of Public Safety was called to the home in the 300 block of W. Grove Street Thursday morning on reports of an infant not breathing.  When they arrived they found the infant's father performing CPR while being coached by Montcalm County Dispatchers on the phone.  Public Safety officers took over until Montcalm County EMS arrived and they continued life-saving efforts.  The child was later pronounced deceased.

The investigation remains open pending the results of the autopsy and review by the Montcalm County Prosecutors office.

Greenville, Belding, Carson City-Crystal schools react to MEAP results, changes in scoring

Greenville, Belding, Carson City-Crystal schools react to MEAP results, changes in scoring

By Kelli Ameling and Elisabeth Waldon
From The Daily News

Michigan Educational Assessment Program (MEAP) scores for fall 2011 were released Wednesday and local school officials are analyzing the results in light of changes to the testing system.

State officials raised the “cut scores” last year to determine whether students are proficient in certain subjects.

“It sets the bar a little higher,” said Diane Brissette, assistant superintendent at Greenville Public Schools. “It sets the criteria higher to be successful.”

Brissette said because cut scores were raised, scores could show a decrease in the percentage of student proficiency; however, that may not be an accurate portrayal. For example, Greenville’s third grade math scores came back at 24 percent proficiency compared to 2010’s score of 94 percent.

“This is comparing apples to oranges,” Brissette noted.
