Collier school district working to reduce absences among its top students : Education :... - 0 views

  • While the attendance rate for the district is very good, Stockman said, 26.6 percent of the Top 50 students in the district’s seven high schools have missed between 10 and 19 days of school and 6.3 percent missed 20 days or more.
  • “We have students who miss 50 days of school and graduate in the Top 50 of their class. And we know the reasons. A lot of them are working on Florida Virtual School to get (Advanced Placement) and honors credits.”

      What does this say about what goges on in school? What does it say about the hybrid model of Brick and Mortar schools and cyber schools?

Credit denial results in an “L” being placed next tot he semester grade on the student’s report card and in the student’s grade history. The grade will not be figured into the student’s grade point average.

      Is this board simply resisting the inevitable change? Or, do you agree that the classroom experience cannot be duplicated and is essential to the education of the student? Or, is it just that the quality of the makeup work is poor?

    Is this a sign of things to come? What do YOU think of the idea of punishing the kids who don't come to school yet get good grades?

      I know of a school in Western Pa that was having the same problem. They decided to create their own "Cyber School" to keep money in the district. As far as I know, it has worked well.
  • only about one-quarter of students who start high school in the district graduate from it in four years,
  • Wide-scale corruption has depleted district coffers, which held a $103.6 million surplus as recently as 2002. In June, Mr. Bobb's new team of forensic accountants found DPS paychecks going to 257 "ghost" employees who have yet to be accounted for.

  • they recently hired private companies to take over 17 of the district's 22 high schools. Last week, the district received $149 million in federal stimulus grants to upgrade classrooms and instruction districtwide. Only $11 million of that can be applied to the deficit, however.
