DRAFT Education Yes report

Good evening Mitchell SIT and Staff,

Attached is the DRAFT 2012 Education Yes! report for Mitchell School.
The report indicates much of what has happened and is happening at
Mitchell are elements of effective school structures. There are also
areas where improvement should occur. These are areas we will begin
to discuss and address as the School Improvement Plan is revised for
the 2012-13 school year.

I invite you to look over the DRAF of the report and give additional
input by Friday, March 3. After collecting any additional input, I
will make needed revisions and submit the report to the superintendent
for review. Of course, if you have questions, please don't hesitate
to ask.

Sincerely,
Kevin

School improvement is not a mystery. Incremental, even dramatic improvement is not only possible but probable under the right conditions.
