Magnets, academic progress top agenda
The school board's agenda for Thursday night looks deceptively light. Don't be fooled.
Two heavy hitting topics are up for discussion: the continuing saga of magnet schools (remember Craven, the school set to get $1.5 million in renovations but still has no program for next year?) and the academic progress of the district. Last week the district released some pretty dismal numbers about how the three High Point high schools are faring. Here's the school system's report, "High Point High Schools First Semester Data Analysis".
The new, districtwide data to be released Thursday night should give us an idea if the problems are even more pervasive or just in High Point.
The full agenda can be read here. (Click on Feb. 24 link.)The meeting will be at 6:45 p.m. at the board's offices, 712 N. Eugene St., Greensboro.
The board might be meeting again this week for one of its annual retreats. Saturday had been suggested as an intense, one-day retreat instead of spreading it out over two days, which is typical. So far, the meeting hasn't been confirmed. Once we find out, we'll post the particulars.

Billy the Blogging Poet posted on February 1 that Terry Grier's house is up for sale.
Jennifer, Bruce - any info on that?

It's my understanding that he's selling his house and buying a condo here in town.

On the MLS listing for his house it actually lists the elementary, middle and high school for the prospective family. Surely he and Dot don't think a family would want to know what school their child will attend BEFORE they buy a house!
Those of us in High Point can only list a high school as "Call School Board".
btw, it is listed with Yost & Little, mls#G347183

According to a reliable source, Denver, San Diego, Detroit, and Pittsburgh, along with 10 other big-city schools are seeking a superintendent of schools. The pure size of these systems would suggest that they are lucrative opportunities for an innovative and highly-respected education professional, such as Terry Grier. Now that the house is for sale and the bags are packed, is Terry ready to make his move as soon as he gets the call?
