Heading in a New Direction by Jaclyn Kennedy Back to basics was the emphasis in the English Department. Basics were used to improve BEST test scores. Although the department returned with only two teachers from last year, the cutback didn’t have any other effects. The six new teachers assumed their responsibilities readily.
