Improving student achievement the focus of strategic improvement planning by the South Shore Regional School Board. Superintendent Nancy Pynch-Worthylake says the schools are all involved in the planning which right now is called accreditation through the province. She says right now they're working with the schools through the Board to make sure they're using a plan that is efficient as possible. Pynch-Worthylake says feedback from the schools identify the process as important and would like to see it continued. However, she says there are areas where the process has to be made more efficient and less time consuming for the schools. This year, the last four schools, all in Queens County have entered the accreditation process. The Department of Education does provide funding to support schools through the process and the Board has included 6 thousand dollars in its budget to assist the schools.
