RE:	School Improvement Targets for SCALE and the High School Ahead Academy

The State Board of Education allows three year school improvement plans for non-alternative schools however; improvement targets for alternative schools must be approved by the local Board of Education annually.

For the two SCALE sites, these are the same goals the board approved for the past three years with increased targets based on percentage increase from prior results. For the High School Ahead Academy this is the first plan. Please see attached Local Options for SCALE Greensboro, SCALE High Point and High School Ahead Academy.

RECOMMENDATION: The administration recommends that the board approve these proposed school improvement targets for the 2007-2008 school year.

Attachment #1- Local Options - SCALE Greensboro
Attachment #2 - Local Options - SCALE High Point
Attachment #3 - Local Options - High School Ahead Academy
