State signs off on Youngstown schools turnaround plan
First such plan in Ohio

 | | Ohio school Superintendent Deborah Delisle pushed the state's effort to qualify for Race to the Top funding. |
In The Region: The state has approved a plan to turn around the Youngstown city school system -- the first such plan anywhere in Ohio.
The school system is in academic emergency, the state's equivalent of an F as measured by test scores, attendance and graduation rates.
The state Department of Education stepped in and formed the Youngstown Academic Distress Commission. It came up with a turnaround plan, which was officially approved Tuesday by state Superintendent Deborah Delisle.
The plan focuses primarily on literacy and smaller classes -- with a ratio in the earliest grades of one teacher for each 15 students. Delisle says the state's involvement in Youngstown is a first, but likely not a last.
|
Youngstown hopes to move the district up to "continuous improvement" " the equivalent of a "C" -- by 2015.
Ohio just got word that it is a finalist for millions in federal Race to the Top dollars to help improve urban schools.
