[QUOTE="DammitJanet, post: 344324, member: 1514"] Well, that is just the high school I think. And I can see that many teachers. "At one square mile, Central Falls is the state's smallest and one of its poorest communities. It has also ranked in the lowest 5 percent of districts in the state year after year meaning the federal government gave Superintendent Frances Gallo 4 choices: - Shut the school - have it taken over as a charter school - follow a transformation model, including longer school days and teachers eating lunch with students - or what's called a turn around plan, fire all the teachers at the end of the year. After the union didn't sign off on option three, she went with option four. "I thought I moved substantially away from my initial design and request and apparently it wasn't good enough," Superintendent Dr. Frances Gallo said. "We don't take lightly that our scores are low. Everyone acknowledges that we have work to do,"Central Falls Teachers' Union President Jane Sessums said. But despite recent improvement, those numbers are alarming - only 7 percent of high school kids are proficient in math standards and 52 percent drop out before graduation." [/QUOTE]
