Starkville school officials heard reports from five principals in their meeting Tuesday night, the first round of annual reports from administrators.
Elizabeth Mosley, Lynn Shea, Diane Baker, Timothy Bourne and Joseph Stone addressed the board. These are principals of Sudduth Elementary, Overstreet Elementary, Ward-Stewart Elementary, Henderson Intermediate and Armstrong Middle schools, respectively.
The major themes of all five presentations were more parental involvement, improved test scores, greater school involvement in the community, improved reading performance and dropout prevention. Conspicuously absent in this tight budget year were requests for additional spending.
Mosley said the K-2 school could use a school resource officer or police officer to help direct traffic in the mornings and afternoons as carpool and bus traffic are at peak. The school has nearly 1,100 students. Mosley said they hope to be in the school’s new wing by Feb. 15 or shortly after that.
She reported that the playground will not be complete by the time they move into the new building, but the new walking track around the playground is almost complete already.
Board member Keith Coble asked her about the iSTEEP test, and Mosley said she likes it.
