Danita: First of all I used your template to set up my page so thank you. What is the poverty level in your school system? I would like to know if your problems in Newton are the same in as Colquitt County. There has to be a solution that we can come up with. Jeff

Jeff, I am not sure of the exact number of students that we have that are on free and reduced lunches, but it is fairly balanced with half of students eating free and reduced lunches, the the other half not. Danita

I tried to reply to the discussion and could not. I do think we are very similar in what we are working on since graduation rate in our state is closely related to graduation tests. I do not know your environment and would like to know more. Thank you for the reply. Jeff

Janelle, You have positively idenitified a performance gap that needs to be addressed at your school. Students need the proper resources to prepare for mandated assessments. I also agree that the low cost strategy would be the best way to go with a 2014 deadline. At least you would have some resources in place while you're working toward the higher costs strategies. Great work! Danita

Jeff, You have identified a performance gap that needs to be addressed! I look forward to reading your intervention strategies! Danita
