Suspension from school is a last resort and only undertaken after many interventions. Teachers and administrators who represent each school participate in the process. Parents and community have an opportunity to review recommendations for materials prior to Board of Trustee approval. Instructional programs are aligned with state frameworks and district standards. In addition, curriculum implementation and articulation are ongoing discussions in monthly school site staff and grade level meetings.
Staff development is a high priority at both the district and school site levels.
A full time learning center teacher and a full time aide, serve students qualified for special education services. A Speech and Language specialist serves qualified students daily. Both of the above services were provided through pullout and consultation model programs. One half-time English Language Development teacher provides daily instruction for students with primary language other than English. Central Gaither has a nurse and psychologist on-half day a week.
