Still dressing up top soil at the high school. Plan to sweep the back parking lots with school out Friday. Expect to finish final punchlist items in next few days. Still some missing kitchen shelfs and keys. Expect to deliver the warranty books (each about 8 inches tall) in next week or so.

6) Presentation of College Remediation Rates of Collinsville High School Students- Jon Coleman -- The 2014 school year had 105 students take ACT Test (with 86 indicating a plan to attend college). Their ACT scores indicated 24% would likely need remedial classes before starting college English, 41% would need remedial classes before starting college algebra, and 11% would need remediation before college reading. The ACT score have been trending upward the past few years but "hope to do better". Coleman reported the remediation rates are similar to other area school but still hope to continue improvement. The local remediation rates are about 5% higher than last year. Coleman also reported that with the state program to provide a free ACT to all juniors this year, he would expect the overall ACT numbers to decline and be hard to compare with previous years. He also anticipates a greater emphasis on ACT if the state switches to ACT instead of EOI testing.
