Description of gap - in public school terminology

At the Monday 23 Feb 2015 School board meeting, the term "Gap" or "GAP" was frequently used. In this case, the meaning should be obvious to many, but Phyllis Curry, Academic Dean of the Adair County Schools, wants the public and parents to know exactly what this term means, and sends this definition:
'Achievement gap means a substantive performance difference on each of the tested areas by grade level of the state assessment program between the various groups of students including male and female students, students with and without disabilities, students with and without English proficiency, minority and nonminority students, and students who are eligible for free and reduced lunch and those who are not eligible for free and reduced lunch. KRS 158.649.'
Our thanks to Dean Curry for this explanation. - CM
