Principals worried new system will be same as deciles

Some principals are wary of revealing the new numbers that measure the level of poverty and deprivation at their schools. They are worried the scores which range from 344 to 569, will be seen as a reflection of how good or bad a school is, in the same way that the old decile system was mis-used. They won't know the full meaning of the new numbers until they find out how much extra funding is attached. RNZ education correspondent John Gerritsen reports.
