tarily attend for extra help as well. “I’m excited about the program”, Burrows said. “For us, it’s about every child, every day. When you break it down to that level it becomes a win not only for the students, but the community as well. Failure is not an option in Georgetown schools.” Burrows said that zero period was created with the future of the kids in the district in mind. “”Our long term goal is with five years to have every
kid graduate from Georgetown with an Associates Degree or a career tech certificate. With that goal in mind, we have to close any academic gaps early so the kids can hit their freshman and sophomore years with the skill and confidence to tackle college level courses.” Burrows predicted that the one on one time available to struggling students will begin to pay benefits very quickly. “We will definitely see kids that have traditionally not been successful turn things around and, more importantly, build relationships with teachers that they would-

n’t have had a chance to build when we have over 500 kids in the building”, he said. Georgetown Junior-Senior High School Principal Jerry Underwood said the idea for zero period came about when the district began taking a detailed look at the available academic data from students. “We have the ability to see what each students weaknesses are and we needed time to get some one on one intervention to get those students some help”, he said. Underwood said that he understood that asking kids to be in school a little earlier might make the early morning schedule a bit more stressful for parents, but said that the district could offer a solution. “They always have the option of having their child ride the bus, because we offer bus service to get the kids here at 7:10 every day without any problems. It’s the only time in the day where they can get one on one intervention without twenty other kids in the classroom. If you do that thirty minutes a day, five days a week, they can make substantial strides in their academic performance”, Underwood said. Underwood discussed the program with the Georgetown Board of Education on January 8. In addition to hearing from Underwood, the board held their organizational meeting for 2014. Longtime board president Ralph Sininger asked that someone else take on that role, and the board nominated Dr. Jeff Donohoo as President and Dr. Raymond Virost as Vice President. New board member Jon Linkous was also sworn in by board treasurer Eric Toole. The board set the 3rd Wednesday of each month at 6:30 p.m. as the regular meeting time.
