School Change At Ottawa High Seeks Tougher Curriculum
Principal Norris Burke tells the Ottawa Board of Education that Ottawa High School will undergo years of gradual changes to strengthen the curriculum, including class staggering and more teachers, to meet state standards for comprehensive high schools. The move aims to raise the school’s rating, though critics note the push comes from the state, not the district. Unemployment notes in Ottawa show December claims at 210, with 574 weeks claimed that month, yet officials say job prospects for the new year look better.
