RE:	SCALE School Improvement Plan for 2006-07

The North Carolina State Board of Education allows school improvement plans for non-alternative schools to be approved for three years. However; improvement targets for alternative schools must be approved by the local Board of Education annually.

The attached local options for SCALE Greensboro and High Point campuses address the same three goals that the board has approved for the past two years. The increased targets for 2006-07 are based on percentage increases from prior results.

RECOMMENDATION: The administration recommends that the board approve these proposed alternative school improvement targets for the 2006-07 school year.
