That’s the short version of a presentation on the reading program used in Hannibal’s elementary schools to raise reading scores. It was a key component of the successful effort to get Hannibal off the state’s “in need of improvement” list.
Hannibal’s budget eliminates or downsizes 15 positions and raises the tax levy 2.99% in a year in which Gov. Paterson’s across-the-board education aid cuts will drain more than a million dollars from Hannibal. It cuts into the Reading First program credited with helping get the district off the state’s “in need of improvement” list, eliminates band for 5th graders and preserves varsity and modified sports.
More than 80% of those surveyed said that the icon should be a Native American.
The committee that tackled this issue will keep on working. Now, it will come up with some ideas for what the logo will look like.
The district will likely keep the block “F” logo you see at left for district-wide issues. The new logo will represent the high school and sports teams.
