Commodore was selected to
be part of a district-wide turnaround
initiative, which brought
support underwritten by the
state’s Federal Race to the Top
award and School Improvement
Grant. The goal: transform
school culture and dramatically
accelerate learning outcomes.
Interventions varied, but included
new leadership, extra
support staff, a longer learning
day, new technology, more staff
mentoring, and professional
development for teachers.
