More computers are needed as well as greater opportunities for students to use computers. Increased supervision to ensure student safety on campus. Meetings were held monthly and climate surveys were completed by parents, students, and teachers. District inservice surveys and the Florida School Report were also used to develop the objectives for the 1997-98 school year. The objectives focus on increased student achievement in reading , writing, and math and are supported by objectives in increased use of instructional technology, greater emphasis on health, safety, and discipline, and opportunities for all teachers to participate in appropriate professional development activities.
School improvement is a continuous process.
