Parent and Community Involvement
Building Accountability Committee (BAC)
A Building Accountability Committee will assist in the planning/accountability process of the district. The focus of these efforts is to produce a quality educational program for each student in the school. Parents are encouraged to participate.
Colorado’s Accountability/Accreditation program is unique in the nation because it enhances control by allowing the local district to determine its own goals, priorities, plans, evaluation procedures, and expectations for quality educational programs in a partnership arrangement with the state.
Under Colorado accreditation regulations each administrative unit must develop action plans for school improvement based upon both district priorities and priorities unique to the individual buildings.
Each building also has parent representation on the District’s Accountability Committee

Culturally and Linguistically Diverse Programming
Morgan County School District Re3 serves the needs of many second-language learners. All buildings provide services with an CLD teacher along with support from one or more teacher assistants.
Students may qualify for CLD programming if their Home Language Questionnaire indicates a Primary Home Language Other Than English (PHLOTE). Such students are evaluated using the WIDA ACCESS Placement Test (W-APT) to determine language proficiency. Instructional programming is then designed to support the student’s language proficiency level. Instructional services may include “pull-out” support during which time students participate in small group instruction with the CLD teacher. “Structured Immersion” in the regular classroom is another means of serving English language learners whose needs are better served in this fashion. All instruction is conducted in English with translation support as needed and appropriate. Depending upon intensity of need, some students receive support from a teacher assistant during content area instruction.
Staff in all buildings is provided information from the CLD teachers outlining each student’s language profile and teaching strategies appropriate for English language instruction. Extended learning opportunities are also available at all buildings which may include tutoring; supplemental and intervention instruction throughout the regular day; and/or summer school.
The Morgan County School District Re-3 provides free language assistance for any parent/guardian who requests support in speaking, reading, writing, or comprehending English. The school will provide language assistance for anyone who requests it without question. Please contact the school office for assistance.
