School restructuring plan

All teachers at two Washington County schools must reapply for their jobs next year under a restructuring plan the school system announced in a press release late Friday afternoon. Winter Street Elementary and Western Heights Middle schools are slated for restructuring for the 2006-07 school year as part of a plan to accelerate student performance and improve professional development of teachers there, schools' Public Information Officer Carol Mowen said.
