Bogalusa schools

The Louisiana Board of Elementary and Secondary Education has taken an interest in the Bogalusa schools - because they've got problems. Low test scores, discipline, etc. Surely some enterprising parent or teacher will bemoan the supposed lack of G*d in the schools, too [sigh].

I missed the meeting and sure hope The Daily News puts the results online.

Some comments on the above-linked meeting article [excerpt]:

District 1 BESE Board member Penny Dastugue called today's public meeting - with staff members of the Louisiana Department of Education (DOE) and not members of the BESE board - an "analysis and summation of data" because "it is hard for public citizens to go through data on-line."

I'll say it's hard. The latest numbers don't exist.

This is the PDF file of the 2005-2006 accountability results at the state ed. site. On page 43, blanks for Bogalusa because "Data are shaded for districts that had all schools identified as severe impact and chose to start over as new schools in accountability in 2006-07." However, I don't recall that the schools were all that great before Katrina - assuming that's the "impact" mentioned.

Here's my previous post with an overview of the spring 2006 GEE scores at Bogalusa High, specifically its comparison to Franklinton's schools.
