district decision a surprise to some
(Continued from page 1)
On the other hand, many in
Warm Springs are not happy
that Dawn Smith will no longer
be at the Roots program. They
spoke in her support at the
school board meeting last week.
About 40 supporters were on
hand, and about 15 advocated
for keeping Dawn at Roots,
which she helped establish two
years ago.
The school board, though,
voted to continue with the
changes proposed in the Bridges
Career and Technical High
School plan.
People who want Dawn to
continue with Roots say the pro-
gram is graduating more stu-
dents than were graduating with
the pre-Roots alternative edu-
cation program in War m
Springs. Another point, they
say, is that school officials did
not meet with the Warm Springs
residents on the proposed change
prior to its adoption.
The change came as a surprise
to Dawn Smith as well. Part of
the surprise, she said, “is because
we’ve been moving in a positive
direction.”
The Roots program saw 13 stu-
dents graduate in the most recent
school year. The pre-Roots alter-
native education program in Warm
Springs would often see two or
three new graduates.
Another point is that Dawn
spent her time at Roots teaching
and working with the students; so
the program in effect already had
two teachers. Dawn is a certified
administrator, though not a certi-
fied teacher, and would not be eli-
gible to apply for the new teaching
position at Roots.
On behalf of the district, Rick
Molitor said the Roots program
can do better. “We’re not trying to
diminish the Roots program, but
to enhance it—to improve
graduation rates, performance
and attendance,” he said.
