Jones was elected on December 2010 by the President Obama. Jones is starting a brand new school schedule in the Sparta High School district. Jones says, "I need more higher scores on the ACT for seniors and juniors and WKCE for sophomores." Jones is firing all the staff and administrative in the school and giving them their pay until June 30th when their contract ends. He is replacing them with new teachers from all across the U.S and some countries. These teachers will be working with the students more on math, science, and reading.
The students within the school will no long have work permits, no extra curricular activities, and will be in school from 7:45 A.M. until 5:00 P.M. If higher scores from the students they will get out of school on July 1 and come back on September 1. If the students do not have high enough scores they will still get off on July 1 but they will have a 10 day summer vacation and come back to school on July 11. Jones says, "This means that there will be longer classes for math, reading and science and also might have more class periods within the day," Jones continues," attendance is mandatory, if a child is sick we have an infirmary for the students to still learn in." Seniors and Juniors will be required to take the ACT at the end of June. This means they need to have a 25 percent more higher score then last time. Also within the school day advanced placement classes will be still be available to students.
"California, Michigan, Rhode Island, Florida, and North Carolina are taking this action as well as North Korea, China, and Japan," Jones says. The only scholarships will be academic ones. There is also no study halls, closed campus, and food will be brought to them in a bag and snacks are provided within the day.
Jones says "We can't wait anymore, we need to start studying the old school way and making Sparta High a great place to have good education."
