The biggest issue we are having now is the school board is continuing to cut programs to serve the more advanced students. But once, what do you expect from the class envy crowd. CMS is spending over $10k per student in these "at risk" serving schools while spending less than $5k in these other schools. CMS is providing many programs (like AP) in schools who do not have the student population to support a class yet they continue on. In the voice of equity, it looks like the schools with more eligible students will lose their classes. CMS at risk population does score better than Wake's as you can see on the DPI site. And we have 3 to 4 times the number of at risk students than they do. So who is doing a better job?therestofthestorynoreply@blogger.com
