[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Huge problem with the school being right on the cusp for title I - lots of students and families with needs but none of the extra funding/support. Definitely a much higher staff turnover rate. Know one teacher that left a school she was very unhappy at to join innovation and after a year she went back to her previous school. Many of the specials teachers left the same year - they see all of the students and have a sense of the school as a whole. I am sure really good teachers and staff there; it’s a systemic problem/equity problem[/quote] APS has an overall equity/poverty and distribution problem. There has been a strong and noticeable influx of poverty into the county, and many of the schools in recent years. On the elementary level that would be so easy to fix, but beyond that it’s all county policies.. APS and the county operate practically oblivious of each other and that has negative consequences.[/quote]
