The Clarion-Ledger ran an interesting article in the May 2 edition of the paper. In the article "School Opposed to Possible Mergers," the paper listed the 18 school districts that could improve by merging with higher-performing districts. The districts are:
Aberdeen
Benoit
Coahoma County
Coffeeville
Drew
East Jasper
Hazlehurst
Hollandale
Indianola
Jefferson Davis County
Kemper County
Montgomery County
North Panola
Okolona
Oktibbeha County
Quitman County
Shaw
West Tallahatchie.
What the article did not report was what criteria did the group that created this list use to select these districts. At first glance, these districts have been struggling for years to meet accreditation standards and test score goals. We need to be vigilant at South Leake and in all Leake County schools so that we do not see our names on this list in the future.
Remember to attend the May 4 Education Forum at SLHS at 6 p.m.
