Oktibbeha County School Board gets initial results of Studio School
Kay Brocato and Chris Monson presented initial student outcomes from the two Studio School classrooms to the Oktibbeha County School Board at their regular June meeting. Studio School teacher Darwin Petras told the Board about his positive impressions of the semester. Data from teacher assessments anticipated that more than half of the participating students lowered their risk of drop-out, and more than 80% improved their academic motivation. Brocato and Monson also presented a proposal to continue with two Studio School classrooms for the 2009-10 school year. The Starkville Daily News has more information.
