Case Summary

Laurel Palm Middle School has a reputation as one of the most successful schools in Dayton. Each school year, Ms Avery establishes specific curriculum goals and objectives that align with the school district. In each case, the district has supported the programs and, with minor changes, adopted the programs district wide for the middle schools in the school district.
