For the fourth straight year, Montezuma-Cortez Re-1 schools did not meet state performance expectations during the 2012-2013 academic year. School board leaders address the issue tonight.<\/p>\n
A Colorado Department of Education report revealed the local school district received a total accreditation score of 43.7 percent, once again requiring school officials to adopt a priority improvement plan. That plan is set as a discussion item at tonight\u2019s 7 p.m. school board meeting.<\/p>\n
With the low accreditation performance report, the district was once again ordered to complete a required priority improvement plan under Colorado\u2019s Educational Accountability Act of 2009. Based on low-performance in the areas of academic achievement and growth, the unified improvement plan is expected to specifically address additional literacy and math programs.<\/p>\n
The plan is due to state officials by Jan. 16.<\/p>\n
Of the state\u2019s 179 school districts, nineteen were accredited with a priority improvement plan during the last academic year.<\/p>\n
