EVALUATION
District personnel and others will receive progress reports on the results of restructuring/organizational and academic redirection. Dr. Northover, will follow District guidelines, plans and directives in implementation of all program activities. On-going consultation with the Superintendent will serve to inform all key personnel of progress.
The updating of the Freeport Public High School District web site will include information on restructuring of program and its progress.
Primary indicators during the first year of restructuring may not necessarily reflect an upward trend due to higher standards that may be established. The second and third year generally (according to research and experience) reflect an upward trend of student academic success.
The improvement in building tone, student attendance, decrease in student suspensions, curriculum enrichment, staff development, parental involvement, technology inclusion, special education inclusion, student scheduling, student/staff support systems (i.e. guidance services) are all areas that will be reflected in student success. Ultimately, the quality of services will be judged by the degree of academic, social and emotional success of the students.
