LMS has created a Parent Support Group in an effort to encourage parental involvement. Our first meeting was not the response that we envisioned.

We felt that the plan we had for it was strong so we did not revisit our initial idea.

I have a question about growth and the future growth projection. How is that determined/ calculated? I also thought I heard someone say that it is not a prediction…how is it not a prediction?

The new growth calculation omits the projection component and looks only at growth from one year to the next using NAPD categories. Points will be awarded as displayed in the attached table. This means there is no black box calculation as before which awarded points based on a student’s expected performance. -
