Farmington Schools Superintendent Dr, Eugene Schmidt

Farmington Municipal Schools Superintendent Dr. Eugene Schmidt discusses the district's results from the PARCC (Partnership for Assessment of Readiness for College and Careers) test given to students this spring. Schmidt says Farmington students performed better than their statewide counterparts, but scores were still lower than previous tests.  Also discussed: construction of the new Farmington H.S. and concerns over the ground/foundation at the site for the proposed new gym.  Dr. Schmidt says the school board has agreed to the additional costs for foundation work.  Money will come from a contingency fund set aside for the project and other project savings, and the potential re-classification of Piedra Vista H.S.
