We Need The Help of Families in Lee's Summit


Many of you know that the Office of the State Auditor is conducting an official audit of the Lee’s Summit School District.  Lee’s Summit is also being overseen by the OCR for issues that have come up.  It is the perfect time to contact the auditor and make sure that they are aware of everything that goes on in this district.  They need to be made aware of the issues that we face and how the district is handling the education of our children.  You can do this anonymously.  Below I will provide you with the information needed to contact the auditor’s office.

Please don’t let this opportunity pass by without doing all that you can to help our children.  

Thank you
Sherri

Missouri Schools - The Washington Post

Missouri Schools - The Washington Post Some schools brag about their high passing rates on AP or IB, meaning the percentage of test-takers who scored 3, 4 or 5 on the 5-point AP exam or 4, 5, 6 or 7 on the 7-point IB exam. Passing scores make students eligible for credit at many colleges and universities. I decided not to count passing rates in this way because I found that many high schools kept those rates artificially high by allowing only top students to take the courses. AP, IB and AICE are important because they give average students a chance to experience the trauma of heavy college reading lists and long, analytical college examinations. Research has found that even low-performing students who got a 2 on an AP test did significantly better in college than similar students who did not take AP. On the list, we also give readers a sense of how well each school’s students are doing on the tests by posting the Equity and Excellence rate, which is the percentage of all graduating s

I have a strong relationship with many of the districts’ families and I can help to bridge the gap between them and the district.   I understand the commitment to the time and energy required each week for meetings, phone calls, conversations, visits to schools, and professional development seminars and workshops.   I already do that with the families that I work with and can c
