High school leaders describe theater program, tardy-intervention contracts and state test prep
Summary
High school Principal Irving Smith told the board Taproot Theater performed a play that prompted advisory conversations, that 70% of tardy-intervention contracts meet their goals, and that state test preparation and staff evaluations are underway.
High school Principal Irving Smith reported that Taproot Theater staged a play focused on five students and that subsequent advisory conversations were productive. Smith described a tardy-intervention program that uses behavioral contracts to identify barriers; 70% of those contracts "successfully meeting their goals," he said, and a more rigorous plan is in place for students who have not met contract requirements.
Smith also said staff evaluations and observations are being finalized and that preparation for the state test is underway. He noted that Mr. Ellis is attending a national CTE event in Washington, D.C., and that the FFA sub-district event and FFA Day will involve high school students working with 4th- and 5th-graders.
