Under this approach, every school would be required to develop a strategic plan that would contain higher performance goals than it would normally have set. These goals must be higher than current goals because the contract with the DOE entails a requirement of higher achievement. The need to identify higher-than-normal goals applies to all schools within the district, from those that are not meeting AYP, or annual yearly progress under No Child Left Behind, to those that are currently excelling in student achievement.Brian has gone toe-to-toe with School board members and the 'CEO' of the school system, Alvin Wilbanks about this program. Thanks Brian!
