Huron has identified several areas of focus for the 2006-07 school year. One areas of improvement is in the area of mathematics. Especially in Algebra I which is a gate-keeping course.

We have added Algebra Recovery for the second semester which will support more students in completing Algebra I.

Another area of concern is reading/literacy. We feel that some of our students are experiencing academic difficulties and that reading may be a component in supporting those students.

We are exploring strategies to enhance reading in the curriculum. We will continue our efforts to reach the 95% MEAP participation. A plan to provide incentives for MEAP participation is being developed.

We have aligned our building based professional development around improving achievement for all students.

A plan is in place to provide the staff training in cultural competency. The staff will read and participate in discussions centered around improving academic achievement.

We are also looking at the implementation of the restorative justice model aimed at reducing the number of suspensions.
