Rio Connections: Improving Mathematics and Science [2009]
September 10, 2009
The University of Rio Grande, Gallia-Vinton Educational Service Center (ESC), Gallia County Local Schools, Vinton County Local Schools, and Wellston City Schools have enjoyed a strong collaborative relationship for several years. Representatives from each entity formed a partnership and first began meeting in 2003 to address the critical issue of math and science achievement scores in the partner districts. The three participating districts can be identified as high-needs local education agencies (LEAs) as a result of not achieving a 75 percent pass rate on statewide math and/or science assessments and serving high numbers of students from families with incomes below the poverty line. This report addresses the second year of the partnerships’ math and science partnership project.
