Board of Education News: Programs That Make a Difference

At the October 16, 2008 meeting, the “Coventry Pride” section featured the Student Test Results Summary (CMT, CAPT, SAT) and PowerPoint presentation developed by GHR Principal, Mr. David Petrone; CHS Principal, Mr. Troy Hopkins; and CNH Principal, Ms. Michelle Mullaly. Mr. Petrone, Mr. Hopkins and Ms. Mullaly all took turns presenting the testing information. The academics Math, Reading, Writing and Science were broken down into 3 areas: Positives, Areas of Focus and Instructional Connections. During the presentation Mr. Petrone conveyed that GHR was able to get off of AYP with little to no money spent, while some districts spend millions doing the same. Mr. Petrone also noted the difference between Coventry’s per student expenditure vs. DRG E’s and how the administration is committed to Coventry students by being competitive with surrounding towns, despite the lack of resources. Positive comments were made and questions were asked by several Board members. One question posed, referred to the tracking of and comparison of students’ test results as they move through the years. Mr. Petrone and Ms. Mullaly said that a data team is being put together to look at and study these comparisons and many other areas of student test results.
