Evansville teachers get a lesson of their own before school starts next week.

Superintendent of Public Instruction in Indiana, Dr. Suellen Reed gave the keynote address Friday afternoon for the Evansville Vanderburgh School Corporation's summer academy, Making Connections.

The focus was on how to close the achievement gap and strengthen instruction in math, science and technology. This comes a week after Reed announced new rankings of the state's public schools.

Nine schools in the EVSC are on academic probation. Dr. Reed says, "We all have some schools in the district that maybe need to work a little harder. We need to make sure we narrow that achievement gap and we also have to be absolutely certain that we keep all the kids in school until they graduate."

Reed says she hopes the General Assembly will consider extra funding for schools on probation. For a look at how your child's school ranks, click here.
