IV. Teaching and Learning in USD 506

The Teaching and Learning in USD 506” agenda item is a monthly item to provide a short presentation for the Board from various staff members, students, administrators or guest speakers demonstrating the great work and continuous improvement efforts of USD 506 staff to realize our vision “…to be recognized and respected as one of the premier public school systems in Kansas.

All schools in Kansas are encouraged to engage in school improvement planning. The Kansas State Board of Education (SBOE), through Quality Performance Accreditation (QPA), requires that each school develop a school improvement plan based upon a self-review of processes and systems. This self-review, required by state law and regulations, includes and encourages active participation and meaningful input by school employees, students, parents, and community members. The accreditation process is intended to drive student performance and continuous improvement in public schools. Kansas’s public schools are afforded the opportunity to satisfy these criteria either using the Kansas QPA process with internal staff, service center assistance, and/or the AdvancedEd organization, formerly known as the North Central Accreditation (NCA). AdvancEd Accreditation is a process whereby schools engage in comprehensive self-study. The self-study process involves applying quality indicators developed specifically for education institutions to help them evaluate their strengths and challenges. This process is invaluable in helping school districts identify and address criteria in their improvement plans. The Labette County High School Building Leadership Team (BLT) concluded that a higher level of service and organization was available through AdvancEd. In their study of this process they found that AdvancEd had a more time proven track record, provided more readily available assistance to its membership, and had an extremely prompt response time, including a customer friendly service orientation. Currently, LCHS is involved in Phase 3 Stage 7 of the improvement process. In this phase they are implementing those strategies identified in their plan. Mrs. Leigh Ann Phillips, LCHS Science Teacher and BLT Chairwoman, will be on hand to update the Board on their school improvement efforts.

Attachment A 1/11/12 At the January LCHS Site Council meeting the topic for information and discussion was directed at weighted grades and/or courses. Current policy for Valedictorian selection criteria:

• Weighted GPA • Utilize Kansas Honor Curriculum. • Utilize the Cumulative ACT score to break ties.

Jenny Gartner and Gary Spruill discussed the Pro and Con’s of Weighted courses. Some of these points included: Pros:

• Leverages students to take upper level course work. • Forces students to enroll in specified course work.

Cons • Creates challenges in the calculation of class rank.

Utilizing a 5.0 GPA . • Forces students to enroll in specified courses.

o Currently CP Chemistry is not specifically identified on the Honors Curriculum.

Discussion from the Site Council included the confirmation for the need of a separate set of expectations for students wanting to be honored with the Valedictorian and Salutatorian. Administration made two proposals to the Site Council.

a) Eliminate all weighted courses a. Add the course percentage to the calculations, b. Utilize Kansas Honor Curriculum c. Utilize the Cumulative ACT score for tie breakers

b) Continue all current weighted courses a. Add the course percentage to the calculation b. Utilize Kansas Honor Curriculum c. Utilize the Cumulative ACT score for tiebreakers.

In either proposal the primary problems we are trying to address includes: a) Identification of a curriculum or set of courses that academically challenges our top students. b) A method of calculation for the Valedictorian that is fair and logical.

Site Council will consider these proposals for our February meeting. Respectfully Submitted, John Frazier

INFORMATION ITEM A Subject: Proposed roof repairs The purpose of this item is to present information in support of a proposal to let bids for repairs to the Labette County High School administrative building roof and the Bartlett gymnasium roof. In January 2008, our property insurance carrier, as a free service to their clients, completed a re-inspection of USD 506 roofs. The following summary of findings was presented for District consideration: • Altamont Grade School - Replace existing roof section I (3,513 sq. ft. over the north central area)

estimated cost $52,700.00 • Bartlett Grade School - Replace existing roof sections C & D (9,241 sq. ft. over the gym and gym

lobby) estimated cost $100,000.00 • Edna Grade School - Replace existing roof sections B & C (8,556 sq. ft. over the gym and gym lobby)

estimated cost $100,000.00 • LCHS Admin building - Replace existing roof sections F, G & H (19,846 sq. ft. over the original main

building) estimated cost $160,000.00 • LCHS Old Cafeteria - Replace the entire existing roof in 2011 (12,765 sq. ft.) estimated cost

$102,000.00 The afore noted cost estimates were based upon labor and materials in 2008. At the time, overlay systems were not considered for the metal gym roofs at each of the grade school buildings. There is available today, an overlay system with a 20-year warranty that is considerably cheaper that the proposed roof replacements that also have a 20-year warranty. More recently, several roof repairs have been made due to the 2011 spring hailstorm. Said repairs included the replacement of all roofs at Meadow View Grade School, including the use of an overlay system on the Meadow View gym roof. Our insurance adjuster and eventual roofing contractor did a number of roof inspections as part of the hailstorm estimate of damages to all district building roofs. These inspections along with our maintenance staff input provided the current proposal and priority to let bids for the replacement of the Labette County High School administrative building roof and the overlay of the Bartlett gym roof. Due to the nature and extent of work on the Labette County High School administrative building roof replacement project, work would be scheduled to begin after school lets out for the summer and conclude prior to the beginning of school in the fall of 2012. Primary concerns are for students on the second floor of the building. Thus, 2012 summer school classes may use the first floor classrooms in the building. Bartlett gym roof repairs may be done at anytime when weather conditions are favorable. Total estimated cost of both projects is approximately $220,000 and may be funded out of capital outlay and/or contingency reserves. In subsequent years, additional roof projects should be scheduled for completion annually with an estimated annual budget of $150,000 to $200,000, anticipating completion of all roof projects by FY15. Prepared by: Chuck Stockton Board Meeting: February 13, 2012

INFORMATION ITEM B Subject: Proposed expansion of USD 506 pre-school program The purpose of this item is to provide Board members an opportunity to consider an expansion of USD 506 pre-school services with the availability of same at Meadow View for the 2012-13 school year. The proposed Meadow View pre-school would be located in the existing band and music room (across from the office). The band and music classes would be housed in a two-classroom portable building to be located on the southeastern portion of the current property. The two reasons to utilize the two-classroom portable building for band and music would be to save class time in setting up from band to vocal music and then vocal music back to band each day. Another potential advantage to this proposal is the current “new facility weighting” formula that would help pay for a portable building. The “new facility weighting” money according to the current formula and projected enrollment for next year would be around $20,000 per year for the next two years. The proposed pre-school schedule would consist of two half-day pre-schools; the first scheduled from 8:10 to 11:10 and the second scheduled from 12:10 to 3:10; each session being offered five days a week. Each pre-school session would have capacity for 20 students or a total of 40 students per day. A fee schedule would be established for the Meadow View Grade School pre-school. The fee schedule would be sliding. That is to say, those students qualifying for free lunches would pay nothing. Those students qualifying for reduced lunches would pay $30.00 per week and those students who are full pay would be charged $60.00 per week. The morning students could have the option for breakfast and lunch and the afternoon students would have the opportunity for lunch and afternoon snack. Staffing would include one full time certified instructor and 2 classroom aides, depending on how many students are enrolled, and how many high needs students are enrolled. We have considered the possibility of having more enrollment than capacity. Initial criteria for determining which students to take would be based upon those with the greatest academic need having top priority. Mr. Kastler and Mr. Foister traveled to Galena and Chanute to look at used portable classrooms. One of the units is far superior to the other one and would be; although a price has not been negotiated, far less than a new unit. The attached spreadsheet indicates our initial estimated costs and revenues for the proposed expansion at Meadow View Grade School (see Attachment B). This proposal does not address the Altamont Grade School At-Risk preschool program that is funded by a state grant, which is administered by Greenbush. However, it is feasible and recommended that USD 506 assume full control of the Altamont Grade School pre-school program and the associated grant. This would include implementing the same sliding fee schedule that has the potential to generate additional dollars to support the expansion of the USD 506 pre-school program. This proposal does not include the Mound Valley pre-school program as Interlocal 637 administers it. Prepared by: Chris Kastler Reviewed by: Chuck Stockton Board Meeting: February 13, 2012

BUSINESS AGENDA ITEM A FOR SEPARATE CONSIDERATION Subject: Proposed change in Labette County High School prom participation requirements A. Pertinent Facts:

1. The purpose of this item is to present for Board action, a proposal to change the rules for

student participation in the annual Labette County High School Jr./Sr. Prom. 2. Currently, all students are eligible to attend the LCHS Jr./ Sr. Prom if:

a. They are a current 11th/ 12th grade student, or b. Escorted by a current 11th or 12th grade student. c. All LCHS students attending must be enrolled in the Drug Screening Pool. d. Non-LCHS students and guests of an eligible LCHS student must be less than 21 years of age and submit to a breathalyzer test prior to admittance.

3. Based upon information gathered from past Site Councils members, parents, teachers and

students, a common theme has emerged which is that attendance to the LCHS Jr./Sr. Prom should be limited to 10-12th grade students and guests less than 21 years of age. The vast majority of input gathered thus far confirms support for the proposed change and is considered a positive change in the way we address this school activity.

4. This proposal would exclude freshman students from Prom. 5. It is recommended that this change be implemented for the 2012 Jr./Sr. Prom

B. Fiscal Note:

None

C. Recommendation:

Approve the recommended change in participation requirements for the LCHS Jr./Sr. Prom as presented.
