At its meeting today, the Board of Education approved the following resolution that addresses discussions that have been held between leaders of the school board and town of Garner.
RESOLUTION
WHEREAS, Board of Education Policy 6200 provides a target for student assignment purposes that less than 25 percent of students at any school, averaged across a two-year period, will score below grade level on the Reading End-of-Grade test; and
WHEREAS, Board of Education Policy 6200 also provides a target for student assignment purposes that less than 40 percent of students at any school will qualify for free or reduced price lunches; and
WHEREAS, if these targets are exceeded at any school in Wake County, Board of Education Policy 62000 directs the Superintendent to review the reasons the target was exceeded and to study trends across several years; and
WHEREAS, the Superintendent, after reviewing the reasons the targets were exceeded, will make recommendations to the Board regarding how the student assignment plan and other tools may help achieve these targets;
NOW, THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED, that the Wake County Board of Education affirms its commitment to the goals established in Board of Education Policy 6200 and specifically resolves to use the increased capacity created at Smith Elementary School and Aversboro Elementary School in the 2009-10 school year, in conjunction with the results of reviews performed by the Superintendent, as a tool to move in the direction specified by Wake County Board of Education Policy 6200.
Resolved this 22nd day of January 2008.
