Deborah Gist of Transcend and the XQ Institute and Victoria Andrews of Getting Smart joined me to talk about their report, “The Public Microschool Playbook: A New Actionable Guide for System Leaders,” a guide for public school districts interested in starting their own microschools.
I am supporting a School Board Candidate and am passing this podcast along In hopes it will help her ask and answer questions as to why we are at the bottom in education proficiency. I must note that in order to appease the public, basing my observations on specific proficiencies versus graduation rates, they have inflated grades to improve public perception.
Las Cruces public schools serve approximately 23,000 to 25,000 students in grades PK-12 and are the second-largest school district in New Mexico. The student body is predominantly Hispanic/Latino (78.6%), with 49% female and 51% male students, and 68.2% are eligible for free or reduced-price meals. The district includes 24 elementary schools, eight middle schools, four comprehensive high schools, and several specialized programs and alternative high schools.
