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.
As used here, the term means those who are in danger of dropping out of school and not finishing their secondary education. For numerous reasons, these young adults are in danger of never adequately realizing their potential. For them, the consequences can be far reaching and devastating. We currently have a counselor three days per week. In addition to the counselor's services, a District psychologist is available one half day each week and a Speech Therapist is available as needed.
