Thanks for your comments about our poster. We were fortunate to be working with a district whose leadership tried to "stay the course" in doing things that they believe right for students. I think this district may be a "thorn in the side" of some at the state level.. The next year or two will give us more information on how well they are able to hold to this...I think the support of the LSC has made a difference here.

I do know that standardized test scores in the district have improved over the past few years but are still in the "low perfoming" range for most of the schools. A few more years would give us more data - there are so many different factors to consider .
