Oregon City Service Learning Academy administrators will hold public meetings Tuesday and Wednesday to discuss changes accompanying the school's application for federal grants that offer money to the state's lowest-performing schools with significant low-income populations.The federally-funded School Improvement Grants are offered to eligible schools if they are willing to make significant changes that fall into four models outlined by the U.S. Department of Education. Oregon City Service Learning Academy principal Melanie Marrone says the school will adopt the grant's "transformational model," which asks districts to replace the school's current principal, implement "comprehensive instructional reform strategies," extend learning and teaching planning time, and "provide operating flexibility and sustained support."
