report from Mr. O'Connell:
5 year high school considered
flex schedule program for teachers: would there be interest?
JROTC at Tech or Doherty? are kids interested? (remember that this costs money...)
Math curriculum: forming a committee to examine best practices
consider increasing requirements of math to 4 years in eighth grade and high school
challenging courses during their entire time at school
dual enrollment: might we be able to have kids take classes at college during high school?
age 5 kindergarten: should kids be five when they start? (right now kids have to be 5 in December): is this hurting the kids who go early? (I've also heard the question of whether this drags down our test scores, as we have kids who are younger in each grade than most districts in Massachusetts)
recommend four full day preschools funded by IDEA
workshops for parents, review test results with parents in May and recommend kids staying back when necessary
