With the school year drawing to a close, the Martha’s Vineyard Regional High School district committee began a review of the annual school improvement plan and prepared for a year-end financial review.

Principal Steven Nixon presented the committee with a school plan that aims to quantify success through a data-driven point system and restates the school’s core values, beliefs and learning expectations.

The revised plan is part of the high school’s New England Association of Schools and Colleges (NEASC) accreditation process that began this school year and will continue through 2013.

The school advisory council crafted the new plan after collecting comments from community members, students, parents and through a survey posted on the school Web site.

Mr. Nixon said after school ends, staff in all departments will begin working on a system to measure the growth of students and track student improvement.

“NEASC says you have to be measurable at some point in the building over the four-year span of a student in high school,” Mr. Nixon said. “Our group took it up a notch and wants these competencies measured in every class on an annual basis.”

The action plan for the 2011-2012 school year calls for the development of core standards for all major subjects, expanding semester-long curriculum papers to include health and math, adopting the state mandated anti-bullying curriculum, incorporating a PSAT tutoring class into the English and math curriculums and creating a new senior lounge.
