In 1999-00 there were 3 students suspended for a total of 4.5 days. In grades 4-6, the average is 31.75. Shasta School has an active School Site Council which develops the school plan with input from parents, teachers, and other staff. Teachers work cooperatively at each grade level and across grade levels to plan and share and coordinate their instructional programs. Committees of teachers and the site administrator meet to plan programs and changes.
Many teachers attend workshops or conferences to meet identified individual needs.
Over the past few summers, several teachers have attended the California Science Project at the local university and they have brought back much expertise in the area of hands on science. Regularly scheduled staff meetings provide additional opportunities for training and collaboration. The services of a Speech Pathologist are available two days weekly through the Butte County Office of Education. We also have a peer tutoring program where older children become reading buddies for younger children. Beginning teachers are evaluated annually.
