Blueprint for Student Success    

Support for the Blueprint for Students Success

The United Front supports the overall concept of the "Blueprint for Students Success" plan. However, there are major concerns and questions (see attached) that must be addressed.


1 That the evaluation/monitoring/accountability component be strengthened;
2 That there is no adverse budgetary impact on schools who have documented their success in educating African American and other disadvantaged children;
3 That Counselor and Nurse support for our students is not reduced but increased;
4 That positive social and emotional support for and development of our children is made a priority one throughout this process;
5 That a "watch dog" group (parents, students, teachers, community and business) have POWER, access to data resources and paid personnel to oversee the implementation of the Blueprint For Student Success and that this "watchdog" group be independent;
6 That it has a reporting function directly to the Superintendent, President of the School Board and the African American community;
7 That the United Front plays a major role in such a group or is the group that does the "watching" for the African American Community.
