The document summarizes challenges faced by a school district superintendent from 1997-2002, including flat student achievement, lack of curriculum organization, and decisions not based on data. Test score data is presented from 1998 and 2002 showing percentages of students above different score levels. School-level achievement data on language, math and reading is also listed. The superintendent learned that strong policies, parental partnerships, teachers, data, and removing self-imposed barriers are essential for student achievement.
