McKinney ISD 043907 ACADEMIC ACHIEVEMENT EIA GRADING/PROGRESS REPORTS TO PARENTS (LOCAL)

EIA(LOCAL)-X, proposed revisions 10-19-15 1 of 2

PROPOSED REVISIONS The District shall establish instructional objectives that relate to the essential knowledge and skills for grade-level subjects or courses. These objectives shall address the skills needed for successful performance in the next grade or next course in a sequence of courses.

Assignments, tests, projects, classroom activities, and other in-structional activities shall be designed so that each students per-formance indicates the level of mastery of the designated District objectives. The students mastery level shall be a major factor in determining the grade for a subject or course.

The Superintendent or designee shall ensure that each campus or instructional level develops guidelines for teachers to follow in de-termining grades for students. These guidelines shall ensure that grading reflects a students relative mastery of an assignment and that a sufficient number of grades are taken to support the grade average assigned. Guidelines for grading shall be clearly commu-nicated to students and parents.

The District shall permit a student who meets the criteria detailed in the grading guidelines a reasonable opportunity to redo/retake a summative assignment/test as provided in administrative proce-dures, except that no student shall be permitted to retake a final exam. The Districts grading guidelines shall address:

1. The specific assignment/test grades for which the opportunity to redo/retake will be available in different types of courses or grade levels, such as Advanced Placement courses;

2. Procedures for an eligible student to coordinate with the teacher regarding any additional requirements, such as at-tending tutorials;

3. Deadlines for redoing the assignment or retaking the test; and

4. The manner in which the teacher will use the scores on the original and repeated assignment/test.

The District shall permit a student who meets the criteria detailed in the grading guidelines a reasonable opportunity to redo an as-signment or retake a test for which the student received a grade lower than 80. A grade of 80 shall be the highest possible grade on a retest or redone assignment. The student may be required to attend tutoring before being allowed to retest or redo an assign-ment. The student shall only be allowed to redo an assignment or retake a test once.

EIA(LOCAL)-X, proposed revisions 10-19-15 2 of 2

A final exam will not be allowed to be retaken regardless of the grade received.

The District shall issue grade reports/report cards every nine weeks on a form approved by the Superintendent or designee. Performance shall be measured in accordance with this policy and the standards established in EIE.

Interim progress reports shall be issued for all students after the fourth week of each grading period. Supplemental progress re-ports may be issued at the teachers discretion.

In addition to conferences scheduled on the campus calendar, con-ferences may be requested by a teacher or parent as needed.

A student found to have engaged in academic dishonesty shall be subject to grade penalties on assignments or tests and disciplinary penalties in accordance with the Student Code of Conduct. Aca-demic dishonesty includes cheating or copying the work of another student, plagiarism, and unauthorized communication between students during an examination. The determination that a student has engaged in academic dishonesty shall be based on the judg-ment of the classroom teacher or another supervising professional employee, taking into consideration written materials, observation, or information from students.

To: Board of Trustees From: Rick McDaniel, Superintendent Subject: Resolution Supporting the State Commissioner of Education Date: November 17, 2015

Current State Commissioner of Education Michael Williams announced his resignation, effective January 1, 2016.

The Commissioner of Education serves as the educational leader of the state and plays a vital role in educating the states 5.2 million children currently in Texas public schools.

Texas mandates education and/or experience requirements for school district principals and superintendents, as well as commissioners in other fields, but the only requirement for Texas Commissioner of Education is to be a citizen of the United States. Other U.S. states require education experience for the heads of their education departments.

We are imploring Governor Abbott to appoint a Commissioner of Education that possesses at minimum a masters degree in education and relevant knowledge, expertise, and experience leading a learning organization and managing the complexities of curriculum, student achievement, school finance, legislative mandates, and all other areas related to public schools in Texas.

********

Impact statement: We believe that a resolution from locally elected boards will be a powerful statement to the Governor.

It is recommended: That the Board approve the Resolution concerning the appointment of the Texas Commissioner of Education

APPOINTMENT OF THE TEXAS COMMISSIONER OF EDUCATION

STATE OF TEXAS COUNTY OF DENTON

I. Recitals

The Texas Education Agencys Commissioner of Education serves as the educational leader of the state. The commissioner creates rules and policies governing the state's approximately 1,200 school districts, oversees the TEA and its $21 billion annual budget, and works closely with the state legislature, various state agencies, and the U.S. Department of Education.

In order to effectively lead the states education system, the commissioner must understand and have relevant experience in all areas related to public schools in Texas, including the Texas Essential Knowledge and Skills, school curriculum, instructional materials, student academic achievement, social factors affecting student learning, special education requirements, legislative mandates, school finance, and teacher, administrator, and school board roles and duties. The 5.2 million children currently in Texas public schools need a commissioner who is qualified upon appointment to avoid months or years of training on the complexities of Texas public schools.

In Texas, in order to be eligible for a Principal Certificate, an educator must have a masters degree, valid classroom teaching certificate, and at least two years of teaching experience, which permits the educator to fulfill the role of principal, assistant principal, or other administrator in a public school. See 19 TEX. ADMIN. CODE 241.20(2). A Superintendent Certificate requires similar qualifications allowing an educator to serve as superintendent of a Texas public school district. See TEX. ADMIN. CODE 242.20 (3). Presently, however, the only qualification mandated by the Texas Education Code for the Commissioner of Education to oversee the statewide public education system is that he or she must be a citizen of the United States.

The Texas legislature has recognized the importance of appointing or selecting other state-level commissioners with relevant experience and expertise in the area the commissioner leads. For example, state law requires the Commissioner of Agriculture to have worked for at least five years in the general agriculture field. See TEX. AGRIC. CODE 11.005. Further, the Commissioner of Insurance must be well informed and qualified in the field of insurance and have at least five years of relevant experience. See TEX. INS. CODE 31.023. Texas statutes also require professional and consulting service providers (see TEX. GOVT CODE 2254) and senior judges (see TEX. GOVT CODE 62.102) to possess some level of experience and qualifications. Further, other U.S. states have mandated by statute that the leader of their state education system possess experience and qualifications related to education, including New Mexico and Virginia.

North Junior Emma Gibney Receives the 2015 Shepperd Institute Trailblazer Award It has been observed that when all is said and done, there is often more said

than done. But, for Emma Gibney leadership starts with action that inspires

others.

I strive to lead by example, said Gibney, a junior at McKinney North High

School. Ferdinand Foch said, The most powerful weapon on earth is the

human soul on fire. I think having passion and love for what you do is the

most important aspect in leading others

Region 10 Nurse of the Year Christy Johnson is too down to earth to seek out accolades for the work she

does as the school nurse at McClure Elementary. But, her outstanding service

at that campus has garnered recognition anyway. Johnson has been named

the 2015 Region 10 School Nurse of the Year by the Texas School Nurses

Organization.

When MISD Superintendent Dr. Rick McDaniel officially shared the news with

the McClure staff on Wednesday afternoon, his words were lost in the uproar

of cheers and applause that followedan outpouring of appreciation for a

colleague whose impact is often felt beyond the door of the school clinic.

MHS and Finch Elementary are Building the Future of MISD Robotics Its National Robotics Week, says McKinney High School robotics teacher

Pam McBride, as she looks on. Were trying to start a program of robotics at

Finch Elementary with our FIRST robotics teams. So, we thought this would be

a good launch. Most of the Finch students will come to McKinney High School,

so this way they get a head start before they get here. They see what its

about and get excited about it.

SJMS Rocketry Team Competes at TARC National Finals The final score tally found the team from Scott Johnson in 72nd placewhich

is in the top 10 percent of TARC teams from across the entire country. Not bad

for a bunch of middle schoolers in a field dominated by high school

teams.Were better than a lot of people think we are, said Everett. Now,

weve proved ourselves.

And, when they take what theyve learned and apply it to next years effort,

well, the skys the limit.

National Award Winning Cockrill Band is Building a Legacy That Goes Far Beyond Trophies Winning national awards is becoming something of an annual ritual for the

Cockrill Middle School Honors Band. But, when former band members show

up talking about a bassoon legacy and want to mentor this years players,

you know the culture youre building for your band program is headed in the

right direction.

Its one of the reasons Director Gary Williams gets a bit of a catch in his throat

when he talks about his 7th and 8th grade Honors Band students.

I might get choked up, he laughs. And he does, a little.

Thank you for preparing me for more than just the AP test.
