Interventions Panel to Meet

(FRANKFORT, Ky.) – The Blue Ribbon Panel on Interventions in Low Performing Schools and Districts will meet on Monday, May 5, at 1 p.m. EDT in the ground floor auditorium of the Capital Plaza Tower in Frankfort.

The panel is charged with reviewing intervention strategies that have been successful in improving academic achievement in low-performing schools in Kentucky and other states. The panel will:

· determine the best possible strategies for intervention and make recommendations on findings

· make recommendations for how the Kentucky Department of Education may intervene and provide assistance differently to dramatically improve student achievement in the lowest performing schools and districts

· make recommendations for a legislative package to deal with lowest performing schools and districts

The ultimate goal is to provide a comprehensive listing of replicable programs that can be used by schools across Kentucky. The group will hold periodic meetings throughout the calendar year.
