The SDCC, School Board and Cabinet have each met to help develop this plan to date. Please note that there are two levels of goals being suggested. The "Strategic Goals" are designed to be a comprehensive guide for the district while the "Central Goal" is designed to call all of us to action to ensure that every one of our students have excellent reading and literacy skills.

Please study this plan, discuss this with your peers and post your comments on this Blog.

To address individual excessive absences, we may have to deal with families with siblings who also are frequently absent. Home visits will probably be required. At the high school, reading in the content areas is essential. This instruction should be embedded in the curriculum for each course. It won't happen overnight, but we "gotta get it done".
