It's just an all right place. Bill Speake, student Learning Center Program offers courses to help students improve study skills Learning Center students are those with academic and reading disabilities. The Title One reading pro- gram offers various courses such as English, Math, Science, and Health. Students are brought into the required couses offered to improve their skills else- where, outside of the Learning Center. The Learning Center has been greatly improved since the past year. Each student in the Learning Center has an I.E.P. , an Individual Education Program, which has been based on the individuals skills through a testing program. Conferences are held with the stu- dents parents and teachers to include everyone in- volved with the I.E.P. Competencies for these students are based on the regular academic classes, but have been put into an al- temative form. Mrs. Delores Gray, the head of the Learning Center, intrigues every student to achieve his own personal goals.
