STUDENT PERFORMANCE GOALS The Orange County School System presents 37 performance goals as part of its School Improvement and Accountability Plan. The seven schools that comprise the district have school plans that include the district goals that apply to them. Certain goals whose most obvious ' measures occur at the high school level, such as the goal to decrease the dropout rate, are also included in all other schools. This has been done to reflect the realization that change is a process that occurs over time and that the elementary and middle grades have a great influence ' on the success of high school students. The Performance Goals Committee gave all certified staff members the opportunity to state what ' factors they believe are important to the process of student achievement. As a result, several hundred responses throughout the district were categorized into five goals by a committee of ' teachers. Those goals are listed as the first five in the district's Improvement Plan. The method of assessing these goals will be developed during the 1990 -91 school year. ' The Orange County Schools Performance Goals represent the good thinking and diligent effort of a fine group of educators.
