23-24 Data
K-2: Lewis reviewed the highlights and pushes for this year, to build on slight momentum happening in our lower grades

Highlights of our Scholar Support Team's work:
Although we are disappointed, we are striving...hard, and making some of the necessary changes needed this year. The Board is optimistic as we, similar to DCPS, recommit to the next steps above.
