be consistent. i know that each situation should be treated individually, but i think i am talking about iss. children who have been in iss 3-4 times in a quarter, especially in the first semester or even the first month, need more in-depth examination as to why. this practice of passing students to the next grade when they do next to nothing in a classroom needs to stop! we are not helping students because in high school they have no background knowledge. also, this is athletic. you can get poor grades up until game day, then overnight they can improve just so they can play. cheerleaders are also included.

engage with the community and celebrate the cultures of everyone. i also believe it would be beneficial to have a more diverse group of teachers on staff. students need to see that there are successful people who look like them.

i believe it would be beneficial to our school to have a larger mediation outlet, including more school counselors as well as a student mediation team.

we need to do a better job of addressing the academic needs of students according to their ability to function in a classroom. we are daily dealing with students who are suffering from mental illnesses or behavioral disorders that consistently disrupt the learning environment. there must be alternative educational environments to meet the needs of these students as well as protect learning for the students who are able and willing to follow expectations. also, many special education students do not improve academically in the regular education classroom regardless of adaptations and iep mandates. many special education students with numerous goals would thrive with small group, individualized support. just because inclusion is politically correct does not mean the student is receiving what they need academically and behaviorally in some cases. while social promotion is the norm in our district, students with failing classes should be mandated to summer school, saturday school, or a similar program to ensure skills mastery before enrolling in the next grade. many of our students continue failing subject after subject and then find themselves lacking the academic background to be successful in high school.
