Academic performance of the Northville District is well below that of comparable neighboring districts (the 2010 rankings show Northville as #61 while most of the neighboring ones score in the mid 30’s; Albany Business Review – “Back to School” issue). Assuming that the students in these other districts are not any smarter or poorer than our students, it appears that academic instructional efforts in this district are getting misdirected. Perhaps, classes and sections are scheduled more for the purpose of keeping faculty employed, than for improving academic performance. Does the Board have a more satisfactory explanation?
