The problem of underachieving students, both
blacks and whites, will be examined in depth this
year with the help of a new task force set up by the
superintendent of the city/county school system.
Many students in the system are not performing
as well as they should.
A look at the extent to which this happens, why it
happens and ways to help these students perform
according to their abilities and their grade level will
be examined by th$ Task Force on the Problem of
Underachieving Students.
'The Winston-Salem/Forsyth County School
System, like other systems, stands in need of an introspective
look at the problem of the underachieving
student and to bring this problem into perspective,"
says information that was sent to task force
members. I
