Twlight Academies?

Don't believe me?

Schools CEO John Deasy is moving ahead with reforms designed to take the school system off the state’s corrective action list in two years. Otherwise, the school system will face sanctions.

Deasy said he is ready to propose a policy to the new board that would make mandatory his ‘‘twilight academies” for all high school students who failed their assessment tests.

‘‘I don’t want to hear people [complaining] when they don’t graduate,” Deasy said.


OK, the concept of a twlight academy is a great idea. It's essenally an after school program with classes, with small class sizes. This concept is being applied to some high schools in the Prince Georges County area.
