Our SIG Schools
Bridgeport Public Schools is pleased to announce some encouraging modifications that will be implemented across the District for the 2010-2011 school year specifically targeting Barnum Elementary School, Bassick High School and Harding High School. The three schools involved in this initiative were identified by the State Department of Education as being amongst the lowest performing schools in Connecticut.
Following state mandate, and after addressing the issues in numerous forums including public meetings, the Bridgeport Board of Education voted to approve new school improvement intervention models for three (3) District schools. Further, the State Board of Education has reviewed the District’s SIG plan and has awarded us the School Improvement Grant. We are instituting the Restart and Transformation models, detailed below, at the aforementioned designated sites.
The changes will result in a new organizational structure for the schools as well as increased flexibility for the curriculum. They will lead the way to more creative approaches to learning. This presents us with a brilliant platform for positive change.
The plan developed by administrative staff in tandem with Cooperative Educational Services will be implemented according to design and is available here.
