FCUSD+Status

FCUSD is now on the "PI (Program Improvement) watch" list... due to EL scores. Superintendent Pat Godwin is actively involved in looking at "effective EL classrooms."

Per stated testing results (as of March 2011), the district is lower than we should be in five subgroups:
 * Spanish-speaking
 * English Language Learners (ELL)
 * Lower socio-economic
 * African American
 * Special Educations (SPED)

Of these, the first three have a lot in common with each other.

A possible way to change this might be to have CELDT testing be completed at the site level so that students are familiar with test adminstrators (and, thus, more buy-in). District office would continue to grade and score. This would only work where there is a high incidence level of EL students (above 70 students) - Mitchell currently stands at 92...
 * **Note:** Per administration, Mitchell will not be attempting to do this given the financial constraints faced in the 2011-12 school year.
