Level 5 Schools - Quarterly Progress Report

To:
Members of the Board of Elementary and Secondary Education
From:
Mitchell D. Chester, Ed.D., Commissioner
Date:
January 15, 2016

In the fall of 2013, four schools were designated as chronically underperforming (or Level 5) schools in response to their low performance and lack of improvement while Level 4 schools: John P. Holland Elementary School (UP Academy Holland) and Paul A. Dever Elementary School (Dever) in Boston, Morgan Full Service Community School (Morgan) in Holyoke, and John Avery Parker Elementary School (Parker) in New Bedford.

This month I am presenting the second of four FY2016 quarterly progress reports to the Board on the four schools that include updates from each receiver and Superintendent Durkin on implementation of the school turnaround plans, focusing on activities from October-December 2015. Future quarterly reports for FY2016 will be presented in April 2016 and June 2016.

Senior Associate Commissioner Russell Johnston will be at the January Board meeting to answer your questions.
