The DOE examines such factors as academic improvement and pupil attendance. Because of this, both schools have good reason to be proud of their students and teachers.
Every parent wants to see their child succeed scholastically.
I am very pleased to see the schools that continue to successfully challenge students receive the recognition they deserve. Spending is based on decisions of a committee composed of parents, teachers and community leaders under the direction of the school's principal. However, funding guidelines mandate up to 50 percent be spent on academic improvement programs including those geared for teachers. This grant program helps in that continued success.
