Fayetteville superintendent announces Ralph Baskin School named a 'reward school'
Summary
Superintendent Eric Jones told the Fayetteville board that Ralph Baskin School has been designated a 'reward school' for high performance or improvement across federal and state accountability metrics; he also reported generally stable staffing and attendance.
Superintendent Eric Jones reported to the Fayetteville Board of Mayor and Aldermen on Dec. 9 that Ralph Baskin School earned a "reward school" designation under federal accountability measures for high levels of performance or improvement.
Jones described the designation as significant for the school and said none of the district’s schools are listed for required improvement. He cited ongoing programs and extracurricular activities, invited board members to a band concert later that evening and summarized staffing as generally covered, noting targeted openings for positions such as Spanish-language instruction.
In response to a question from a board member about average daily attendance, Jones gave an estimated current figure of "48, maybe, something like that" and offered to provide a current official number by email.
The superintendent said the district is proactively planning for anticipated maternity and paternity leaves to ensure coverage next semester and noted steady bus-driver staffing across the system.
