            Janessa and Abe, you did such a good job and you should be so proud of this. I am running for school board to help be part of the solution to close the achievement gap. I started asking questions as a parent last year about the achievement gap last year and did not get any answer from administration and commission a private report to be written about LTHS and the Achievement Gap. I am happy to share it with you if you have not read Dr. Hill’s report.
