DHS 1 of 8 local schools receive state funds.
(Deming) – Eight Deming Public  School District schools will  have a chance to participate in a well-known  University of Virginia-based program aimed at turning troubled schools  around.
Governor Susana Martinez announced Tuesday that 3-point-5 million dollars  has been set
aside for education improvements in the current budget to help  schools with leadership training and professional development.

She says the program is aimed at  the 319 schools in the  state that received a “D” or “F” under her  administration's new grading system. 

Bell… Chaparral… Cesar Chavez  Charter High School… Deming High School… and Deming Intermediate School all  received “D”s… while Bataan… Columbus… and Torres elementaries received “F”s.  Only Memorial and Red Mountain  Middle School are excluded   from the program because they received “C”s.
 
The governor also defended the  grading system – which some have criticized as too complicated – and promised to  work with teachers on reforms. The grading scale is a  cornerstone of Martinez's agenda for improving education in the state, which  consistently ranks near the bottom  nationally. 

The system lets the state  consider more than annual student test scores when gauging whether schools are  complying with the federal No Child Left Behind law.

Reportedly… the state’s grading  system also considers academic growth… attendance… support of both the highest  and lowest performing  students… and college and career  readiness.
