The Department of College and Career Readiness provides leadership and management for all of the recovery options implemented for students failing to make adequate yearly progress while assuring that all students graduate prepared for the rigors of college and/or careers. The College and Career Readiness department is charged with the implementation of board policy and procedures as they apply to academic intervention and recovery. Members participate in the formation of district policies and procedures by making appropriate recommendations for improvements and/or additions that enhance the efficiency and effectiveness of the district’s instructional program to support the mission of the school system.
