Roger Cook, Superintendent of Taylor County Schools, Ky, shares how their district is "Performance-Based with Zero Dropouts". Via Kathleen McClaskey 
Kathleen McClaskey's curator insight,
May 29, 10:55 AM
Discover in this interview how Roger Cook has implemented a Performance-based Education System with Zero Dropouts.
During his first year as Superintendent, Mr. Cook transformed Taylor County Schools into a performance-based educational system, challenged teachers and students to meet 21st century expectations with rigor and relevance, and spearheaded the effort to fund new, much-needed facilities.
The drop-out policy for our schools states that any student wishing to drop-out of school must come to the superintendent's office and meet with me. I listen to their reasons for wanting to drop-out and then tell them they are not allowed to do it. Our board of education policy states that no students can drop-out before the age of 18 years of age. The state has now adopted this policy into law with Senate Bill 95. I then proceed to find them an alternative they can live with and still get their diploma.
