22 Lee Senior High School will employ four (4) Supplemental Vocational teachers and one supplemental core area teacher to provide opportunities for students to participate in career/technical instruction. A study by (Bottoms and Feagin 2002) revealed students who received career/technical instruction have higher achievement than students who did not complete this type of program. Another study (Boesel, Hudson, Deich, and Masten, 1994) revealed that students who completed career/technical instruction and a strong academic core were more motivated to learn and are better prepared for work and further study. A comprehensive integration of vocation education and core subject matter will strengthen our comprehension and analysis skills.

Priority 8:

Lee Senior High School will implement other restructuring actions consistent with state law that improve academic achievement in the school and result in helping the school make AYP along with the hiring of a new principal.

Supporting Data:

According to the 2009 Arkansas Department of Education AYP Report, Lee Senior High School was given a School improvement Status of State Directed (SD-6). This rating triggers the need for a Restructure Plan for the school. According to the 2009-2010 Arkansas Department of Education AYP Report, Lee Senior High School was given a School Improvement Status of State Directed (SD-7). According to the 2010-2011 Arkansas Department of Education AYP Report, Lee Senior High School was given a School Improvement Status of State Directed (SD-8).
Test results of the three-year period provides strong support to the need to provide additional professional development to address those areas of need causing these scores and the need to increase parent involvement in the education process.
Information gained from the ADE AYP Report 2006-2009 includes an average percentage scores of the combined Population and all sub-groups during the three year period. The report showed that a total of only 36.1% of the students in the Combined Population scored proficient or higher in Mathematics and only 20.8% in the area of Literacy. Data shows that the students did not make any significant gains in Math or Literacy. This fluctuation of DATA can be correlated with the instability of the staff in the areas of Math and Literacy .
The 2009 ADE AYP Report indicated that the Caucasian Sub-Population had a much larger percent of students scoring proficient or higher in Mathematics (2006- 71.4%); (2007-53.8%) (2008-77.8%) (2009-Average 65.5%. The sub-group Caucasian data in Literacy were:(2006-66.7%), (2007-40%), (2008-NO DATA) 2009 average 65.5% were proficient or above. The other sub-groups data was near that of the combined population. The lowest sub-group was students with disabilities in Literacy with an average of 8% proficient or above.

Goal

The combined population and all subpopulations will meet AYP on the Algebra I and Geometry End-of-course exams as well as the 11th grade Literacy Examination.

Benchmark

The current AYP level achieved in Mathematics and Literacy will be increased to meet or exceed the required 82% in Mathematics and 84% in Literacy by the end of 2011-2012 school year.

Benchmark

Lee High School will improve students learning by aligning the curriculum and assessments to the standards.
