financial reductions to provide
needed
stability as we continue working on a long-term financial plan that
will
enable us to continue offering the highest quality educational
programs

in favor of recommending pay to participate for next year,
as earlier

- Superintendent shared the initial
district-wide achievement test scores
from
grades 3-8. These scores have not been

However,
it was worth noting that several grade levels showed a dramatic
improvement
in scores as a result of the time and effort of the staff and
students.
