Academic Priorities and Needs for 2019-2020

We are still waiting on items that were ordered using Title I funds. Dr. Walton will check with the department next week to find out if there is anything that can be done.

We will continue with adding Clear Vision screens to the classroom. Since the classrooms of 4 and 5th have been relocated there are no screens in these rooms.

We will propose the hiring of an intervention specialist to support ELA.

We need data on how the students who attended summer 2018 programs performed on the GA Milestones test.

Mrs. Strickland will give update on the Otis data management system.

Board approval is needed for the hiring of new personnel.
