RSN : DOTHAN:
The Dothan City Schools Board of Education is scheduled to vote Tuesday night on a district-wide plan presented by Superintendent Dr. Garrick Askew.
According to Askew, the plan outlines initiatives aimed at improving student success and addressing key challenges within the school system.
Askew said the focus of the proposal is centered entirely on serving students in Dothan City Schools.
“There is nothing in this plan that doesn’t serve Dothan students,” Askew said.
The plan follows the release of Askew’s first 100-day report in November, which identified three primary areas of concern: literacy, classroom consistency, and staffing support.
As part of the process, Askew requested feedback from parents and community members to help shape the direction of the district.
“The community has eyes that you don’t have,” Askew said. “They see things, hear things, and know things that you may not necessarily be aware of. That feedback helps make the district better.”
The proposed plan includes initiatives focused on improving reading and math instruction, enhancing classroom resources, and addressing student behavior concerns.
If approved by the board, Askew said families could begin seeing changes implemented as early as summer 2027.
