HELP CLASSES ASSIST CHARGERS Competency Help Classes, con- ducted to provide instruction and assistance to students who haven’t passed some of the Hart Bill competen- cies, have aided many students this year. Ms. Cheryl Beck taught the math competency class, the English com- petence class was taught by Mr. James Daugherty and Ms. Jonnie Larson taught the reading competency class. They notified students who hadn’t pass- ed some of their competencies, which were needed to graduate. The students were then transferred temporarily into the class and given instruction and help.
