If North Miami fails to bring the school grade up to a C in the 2007-2008 school year, that will be the 3rd year in a row that it was graded a D or F, meaning that under measures set by the state, drastic measures will be taken. These may include firing/transferring/replacing teachers and administrators, transferring students to other schools or removing funding for extracurricular activities.
