In addition, the materials included a document called District At-A-Glance. I am now posting a link to that document. BTW alums will be interested to see important stats about BTW and other schools in the district. Information such as test results, enrollment figures, etc are available in this document.

BTW on Historical Register?

A January 13, 2011 story in the Shreveport Sun reports that efforts to list BTW on the National Register of Historical Places has begun.

Apparently school board member and BTW alum Professor Willie Burton has asked school officials to look into this possibility.

The article quotes Professor Burton as saying "I'm a historian. Booker Washington was built as a modern school for blacks. Many great leaders here are graduates of BTW."

Burton is further quoted as saying "Our attorneys are looking into this."

BTW is certainly a "historical site" in Shreveport and has overall historical value to this city, state and the nation. BTW represents a period in this nation's history that many now try to revise if not outright forget.

Professor Burton could also have pointed out that graduates of BTW have distinguished themselves all over the country and the world for that matter.

Of course BTW has the character and historical significance to be preserved for future generations to enjoy, study and behold as a testament to the perseverance of black Americans.

2010 SPS Released Today

The Louisiana Department of Education (LDE) released the 2010 list of unacceptable schools.

Although BTW New Tech High improved to 59.8 from a 2009 score of 58.4, that still falls short of the 60 mark.

We continue to wish the lions the very best as they struggle for success in the accountability process.
