MCAS Results Are In

As of this morning, the results from the MCAS tests given last May have arrived at the Superintendent's office. I'll refrain from making any comments until his office has distributed them to the community; but I will remind readers of this caveat-- these scores were recorded after one year of leadership by Dr. Lyons and his administrative team, and their support of teacher/classroom solutions to problems he wanted teachers to analyze and respond to (the "bottom-up" approach, as opposed to "top down," or the ever popular "denial" approach).

The second caveat is that the scores reflect a system that had 37 more electives in the High School, 33 more staff, and $1,700,000 more in revenue than the one that opened for business last month.

More on this later.
