Overall Summary In all areas, we have some successes, and we have a ways to go…. For this coming year, we will be restructuring the scheduling of testing to relieve stress on staff and students, and to maximize instruction time – this is a considerable challenge. The use of the technology needed should be more familiar and comfortable for both staff and students from here forward.
