The WBSD elementary administrative team presented a variety of strategies they use at each elementary school to close the learning gap for students in poverty at the April 11, 2016 Board of Education Meeting. The elementary principals and teachers have been learning about poverty and the effects of poverty in the learning process and environment over the past few years.
Ken Schmidt, who was recently elected to the Board, said, "I am impressed with the engagement of the teachers and also the amount of work that they are doing for students. They are reaching out to the students, and I'm especially impressed with their efforts."
