Principal Report: Mr. Bohm discussed a new course proposal for the Fresh Start Program Social Development that he would like to implement starting next school year which is a program that allows us to assist our incoming Freshman that are already struggling with any of the qualifying criteria: Attendance, Behavior, Course Performance, Administration/Parent Recommendation in hopes to give these students a better chance to succeed to graduate. Mr. Bohm also discussed how students will be able to earn a ½ credit with the successful completion of the 20 hour program. He is also recommending a course proposal for math Essentials (which Mr. Shepherd also discussed in his presentation). This is a prerequisite for Freshman and Sophomores concurrently enrolled in Concepts of Algebra, or approval of Math Essentials Instructor. This course will serve as an additional support for students enrolled in Concepts in Algebra, as the curriculum of the two courses will be directly correlated.
