Curriculum Development Standing Committee report

Mr. Monfredo: Stats on graduation rates and college admission rates comparing men and women...men significantly less likely to do both. Report is being forwarded to Dr. Boone, and some question as to what this should mean for the FY10 budget.
A series of requests coming out of this report: mentoring, small learning communities, professional development, parent liaisons..
"Worcester, The City That Reads" starting up next month (the book this year is The Adventure of Tom Sawyer); suggested that the WPS participate

  • Senior project program
  • Community service program
(both of the above suggested as additional requirements for graduation from high school)
