Citrus County School Board members are taking a field trip.
In lieu of meeting in their regular spot at the District Services Center in Inverness, for Tuesday’s workshop, they will visit four schools.
They will begin their tour at Crystal River Middle School, checking in on the school’s AVID program and Penn Foster online classroom. They will also tour the remodeling/construction projects at Crystal River High School and Crystal River Primary School, followed by a visit to the International Baccalaureate program at Lecanto High School.
AVID (Advancement Via Individual Determination) is geared to help students in the middle of the pack develop the skills they need to excel.
International Baccalaureate is an academically rigorous program that takes qualified students two years to complete, beginning the junior year of high school. Participating members of the class of 2012 will be the first to graduate with IB diplomas.
Bill Murray, school board chairman, said school board members have not taken a group tour since Central Ridge Elementary School, which first opened for the 2008-09 school year, was under construction.
