In other news, the latest draft of the Department of Education's Race to the Top initiative is more "lenient" than previous requirements, said Supt. Lanny Johnson.
"They present four different models for the schools to operate under," Johnson said. "We'll have to look at all the options first."
The Race to the Top initiative will be discussed at the next regular business meeting. |
