SCUSD Observer: No child left behind races to the top?
No child left behind races to the top?
Last week's release of the AYP Progress report for SCUSD shows that many of the schools in our district are failing to adequately educate Sacramento children according to No Child Left Behind standards.
SCUSD schools in year 1 of program improvement status jumped from 3 in 2008-09 to 15 to 2009-10.
The statistics are troubling. Many of our local high schools are at risk of entering PI status next year.
In last week's Sacramento Bee, Superintendent Raymond describes the vicious cycle of program improvement:
"It's like the Hotel California, you check in but you never check out."
