Toby shared data regarding students that have been here for more than 2 years versus students that are new to SOAR. (Approximately half of K-6 are new to SOAR. 15/100 MS students have been here since K or 1.) It makes a difference! We need to do differently since we know differently. Toby had the Board write what "SOAR" is and what "SOAR" strives to be. "What is a SOAR student?"
