7) Presentation of FY10-11 Testing Results – Karen Peper and Lisa
Rader. -- significant improvement in test scores
in 2011 from 2010. Middle school scores were already solid and showed
the least jump but Herald and high school scores showed big jumps. Wilson
is not tested. The main improvement was achieved by improvement in communication
between administrator, and teachers at the various campuses. The EDIT
process was credited with helping the improvement. "No Child Left
Behind" heightened the pressure on continually improving test scores.
The rules are constantly changing and starting in 2014 the process will
change completely.

approved (with a no vote by Joe Hampton). The service will attempt to
collect returned checks with a $25 fee to the check writer. The number
of returned checks has increased in recent years ... mostly from fundraiser
sales and lunch payments. The school will typically attempt a no fee
repayment before transfering to CheckCare collection.
11) Discussion and Vote to Approve Testing Incentives for High School
and TAP Schedule Change – Jon Coleman. --
approved, "Cardinal Card" program to encourage CHS student

who had passed all 7 tests and include a once per month early release
from the last hour, freer entrance to sportsevents, free personalization
for a yearbook purchased by student, an additional unexcused absence
for semester test exemption purposes. The new program would begin in
Nov. 2011. The school district would benefit
from the increase in test scores and students would be encouaged to
