The SC needs to set concrete goals and objectives each year that move the district forward in key educational matters and report on that progress each year. MCAS scores need to be reviewed to determine where relative weaknesses may be and assign Task Forces to more fully determine where things could be improved and strengthened. Graduation and drop out rates need to be evaluated, with perhaps exit interviews with Guidance to ask key questions on the student and parent perspective of what could be improved. The SC needs to acquire real data that pinpoints where any efforts should be expended.
