Accountability Report March

Internal and External Events were reviewed.  Nice job!

 

The instructional coaches were present at the meeting and they briefly discussed their work with the faculty. They provided context for both strengths and challenges they are observing in their work with the teachers and the expressed interest of faculty for support on co-teaching practices.

 

Enrollment-we reviewed the enrollment report from March.  The Board asks that the leadership of the schools document reasons why students are withdrawing so we can determine if additional retention activities are needed.

 

Teacher retention remained the same.

 

Attendance increased at both the middle school and high school for the month of March.  More students have moved out of the at-risk category.
