It seems that somebody believes in second chances.
A while back I linked to a story about how an entire high school’s faculty was axed because the school’s students weren’t performing well.
Under a new agreement, the teachers are back on the job. Have a read here.
Here’s a couple bits I lifted out of a story I submitted today to run some time this weekend…
The four goals are listed as student achievement, student involvement, parent and community involvement and professional growth and development for faculty and staff.
“If you have the structure and overriding plan of what you want to accomplish as a district, you don’t want your goals to be changing from year to year, where you’re shooting at different targets all the time,” said Superintendent Tom Shelton. “The goal was to develop four goals that could be based on continuous improvement. From these we would establish baseline numbers to base our planning process, with the intent of having annual continuing improvement for each of these goals.”
This story has to do with the goals that the Daviess County Public Schools board passed on Thursday night at their monthly meeting. Read more about it when my story comes out in the paper to see how these goals will work, what they are and how they’ll be put into effect.
