HOS/ Principal's Report
Data- MAP winter testing is complete. Analysis presented. Continue working on writing process.
Core Subjects- we still need computers to create a one-to-one student/computer. This greatly effects the testing environment.
MTSS/ Exceptional Ed - progress monitoring continues to be an issue. This is unacceptable for the school. Procedures will be put into place to make sure monitoring is done and info placed into infinite campus.
AVC/Technology - expecting computers purchased with Title I dollars. Need more computers. We will use ESER funds that are available. Action is needed by the board.
The school will start an Esports Club. 3 teachers have expressed interest in sponsoring the club. Funding is needed for materials and supplies and pay for the sponsors. Action is needed by the board.
