*From the district Comprehensive School Improvement Plan, September 2006.

2006-2007 Annual Improvement Goals
The district’s Annual Improvement Goals (AIG) were evaluated by comparing the scores of students tested in 2005-06 in grades 4, 8 and 11 with scores of students tested in 2006-07 in grades 4, 8 and 11.    These AIG’s have been recommended to the Board of Education by the Building a Learning Community Committee.
