We all know that a quality educa- tion can open the door to a world of opportunities and become the foun- dation for life-long success. We all expect the best from our schools and now Expect More Tehama is here to help. Expect More Tehama is a grassroots movement of an active, concerned and engaged community work- ing for continuous improvement of our schools. Expect More Tehama is all about gathering information necessary to make informed decisions. Soon you will be hearing about the achievement of our students on the latest California Standards test. Test scores, while important, are only a single indicator and not the only factor in school performance. Like Joe Harrop mentioned in a recent Daily News commentary, many other factors go into the equation that par- ents and community use to evaluate their schools. So how are our schools doing? How many students graduate suc- cessfully and enter the workforce? How many remain unemployed? How many drop out permanently? How many take the GED to later complete their education? How many students take the SAT and ACT and go on to higher education? How many of our students go on to the military, to a trade or vocational school? How does the achievement of our students compare with our neighboring counties and to the state? We will soon be conducting a fol- low-up study of recent high school graduates in our county. We will be surveying them about the education that they received and asking if it helped them to achieve the next steps in their life and career pathway. Expect More Tehama gives us the chance to look at the facets of our educational systems and celebrate the successes while we work together on what we agree to improve. To help in this process we, on Sept. 15, will be dedicating a place on the homepage of the Tehama County Department of Edu- cation website. It will be called "How are our schools doing?" With a simple click, mentioned above. Larry Champion Expect More Tehama information on the performance of all the schools in our county will be available for review. Visit us at www.tehamaschools.org to look at all the new data arriving from the state on the achievement of our stu- dents, schools, districts and county. Schools and districts are working on improvements to their websites to enhance communication and provide an accurate picture of the school, dis- trict and community that they serve. All websites can be accessed using the same county schools website This school year will be an unprecedented opportunity to focus on our current challenges and place our efforts in some well-reasoned solu- tions. Expect More Tehama is gathering input from students, teachers, parents, community and business leaders, adminis- trators and others through a series of community meetings to help identify our unique challenges and seek solutions that can help our schools to con- tinuously improve. Expect More Tehama wants to hear from you regarding the challenges you see facing our schools today along with ways we can work togeth- er to ensure that every Tehama County child has access to a quality educa- tion. Expect More Tehama is a way that we can all share in the work and share in the success of knowing that we have done everything in our power to help our students be the best they can be; college and career ready. Thank you in advance for your inter- est, time and help. Tehama County Superintendent of Schools Larry Champion can be reached at lchampion@tehamaschools.org or 528-7323. We now serve beer & wine
