Cala's Report

With high dropout rates in the City School District, the idea of raising the age from 16 (to 18) has been discussed

The number of incidents at three city high schools in the 2005-06 school year exceeds the number of incidents logged in two years at Jefferson — one of two schools — Charlotte is the other — placed under state sanction after being designated as "persistently dangerous."

Wilson Magnet High School also exceeded Jefferson in its reported number of incidents in 2005-06. Franklin led city schools with 1,659 violent and disruptive incidents last year, which translates to about nine incidents each school day.

The Grade Point Average-Up program, which ended its second year of math and English instruction . . . wants to expand year-round by adding an after-school program. However, the program is facing an uncertain future.

Susan, I researched articles all day! I sent you a few from the D&C with some specific statistics. This Zotero program is the coolest. You definitely have to download it! I will be at my conference from Sun to Wed, but should be checking my e-mail and will have my cell phone with me. See you next week.
