The Tomor­row Cen­ter Board of Direc­tors held their reg­u­lar meet­ing on Feb­ru­ary 11, and wel­comed new board mem­ber Cheryl Hagerty who was sworn in by Pres­i­dent Denise Williams.

Prin­ci­pal Michael Heath dis­cussed statewide changes in teacher require­ments and incen­tives. He explained that new data is being used, as well as a new assess­ment lists.

Heath noted that the school is appre­cia­tive of the dona­tions they’ve recently received, money and items for stu­dents. So far, he said that the school has received around $22,000 from casino rev­enue. As far as bud­get­ing, he explained that the school will not be rely­ing on casino rev­enue as being a large source of funding.

The res­ig­na­tion of George Collins, effec­tive Jan­u­ary 18, 2013, was approved.

The school will soon be receiv­ing new stu­dents, with some on wait­ing lists, said Heath. New books are needed and he hopes to acquire those using the School Improve­ment Grant. Heath also hopes to hire a math coach in the future, so far the school has seen a 10% improvement.

Heath also reported that the school will have about 30 stu­dents tak­ing the OGT test­ing this spring.
