A handout from the June 28, 2005 BOE meeting listed the following information related to LEA Performance Goals:

  • We are making the majority of the identified reading and math targets district wide.
  • A major issue continues to be that as a district we have not moved significant groups of African Amercian, Hispanic students in proficient or advanced levels.
  • The English Language Learners are exceeding targets.
  • We have also exceeded our targets for meeting NCLB highly qualified criteria.
  • We have no schools identified as persistently dangerous based on NCLB criteria.
  • The graduation rate from high school with an eligible diploma continues to increase and exceed targets.
