In school year 2013-14, Salem students in Grades 3 through 8 participated in the Connecticut State Department of Education sponsored Smarter Balanced Assessment “field tests” in English Language Arts, Reading and Writing as well as Mathematics. Since this was a “field test”, no individual student or school results were reported. However, our 5th and 8th grade students did participate in the Connecticut Mastery Test in Science. Our students surpassed the State School Performance Index Target of 88 with a composite score of 89.9. Our students had a 100% participation rate. None of the subgroups that are reported in a typical School performance Index Score which include Black, Hispanic, English Language Learners, Free and Reduced Lunch, Students with Disabilities, and High Needs Students, were reported for Salem because our numbers are too small.

Comprehensive Student Enrollment: History and Projections
Methodology for Projecting Student Enrollment
Each year the Salem School District commissions the New England School Development Council (NESDEC) to conduct an enrollment projection study. NESDEC uses the cohort survival technique for preparing Salem's enrollment forecasts. In addition to using the cohort survival calculation, the consultants incorporate important, current town-specific information into the generation of the enrollment forecasts. Salem projects enrollment using actual class sizes as of October 1
st.
Actual enrollment is “rolled forward” to project class size for future years. The October 1
st
Grade 1 enrollment is used to project the Grade 2 enrollment for the following year, this is done for each grade through Grade 12. Since we do not normally have actual data for Pre-K and Kindergarten, we use the NESDEC projections for those grades. The exception is the 2015-2016 projected enrollment for Pre-K. Salem’s information indicates that we will have a higher number of Pre-K students in 2015-2016, so we are using the higher number instead of the NESDEC estimate.

Grades PK - 8 Student Enrollment: History and Projections
Reliability of Enrollment Projections
Projections can serve as useful guides to school administrators for educational planning. In this regard, the projections are generally most reliable when they are closest in time to the current year. Projections six to ten years out may serve as a guide to future enrollments, and are useful for facility planning purposes. However, they should be viewed as subject to change given the possibility for change in the underlying assumptions / trends. Projections based upon the children already in the district (the current K-12 population only) will be the most reliable; the second level of reliability will be for those children already born into the community but not yet old enough to be in school. The least reliable category is the group for which an estimate must be made to predict the number of births, thereby adding an additional variable.
How often do the actual enrollments closely match the NESDEC projections?
The research literature suggests that the closest that enrollment forecasters are likely to come to actual enrollments is about 1% variance per year-from-the-known-data. That is, a 1% variance from projection-to-actual "one-year-out" into the future (2% variance "two-year-out" ... 10% variance "ten-year-out"). NESDEC typically reaches this "highest possible" standard in about 90% of the cases.

The overall Salem School staffing model varies based on student enrollment and the particular needs of students. The School Principal has the responsibility, in conjunction with the Superintendent, of determining how many positions are needed for any given school year and how those positions (FTEs) will be used to meet the needs of the particular students enrolled. A class size ratio of students-to-staff ranges from approximately 17-21 students per core teacher, depending upon the instructional model in place for a specific grade-level program and student needs. The SY2015-2016 proposed core classroom ratios are depicted in data charts in this section of the budget book. Specifically, the chart below shows the assignment of both certified and non-certified instructional staff for the expected student enrollment in the Pre-School through Grade 8 program in SY2015-2016.

Salem School Staffing
Model
Pre-School The pre-school program is a 1/2 day program providing services to 3 and 4 year-olds, with two 0.8 FTE certified teachers and 2.2 FTE instructional aides assigned to the program.
Kindergarten The full-day kindergarten program requires 2.0 FTE certified kindergarten teachers and 2.0 FTE instructional aides to provide services to 5-year old students in an all-day program.
Grades 1 through 8 Students in the Grades 1-8 program are organized into core classrooms and taught by a total of 18.0 FTE certified core classroom teachers, and 6.0 FTEs tutors, who provide instruction in the core content areas, including English language arts, mathematics, social studies, and science, as well as SRBI services. A total of 6.0 FTE instructional aides are assigned to work with the special education teachers to manage their caseloads and work 1:1 with students, plus a 0.4 FTE instructional aide will be used for coverage during PPT’s. Also, 2.0 FTE
LA/Math
Interventionists are assigned to grades Pre-K - Grade 8. The students also receive instruction in the related arts / specials (art, music, physical education, computer, library media, and world languages) from 7.9 FTE certified related arts teachers. Students are also served by 5.0 FTE certified special education teachers, the school psychologist, the school counselor, and the speech/language therapist.
Support Programs
The school is led by a 1.0 FTE certified school principal and 1.0 FTE assistant principal assisted by 2.0 FTE school secretaries. Students are supervised by 2.0 FTE cafeteria
aides during their lunch period.
Salem School Staffing Profile
Section II | Page 7
Instructional Aides and Tutors (SY2015-16)
Note: Of the above 16.6 FTEs, 7.4 FTEs are funded by grants. If grant funding is diminished in the future, the district will need to absorb these additional positions in the operational budget. It should also be noted that these positions are annual in the sense that they are sensitive to and only necessary based on individual student identification and documented need. Staffing allocations represent required ratios for projected case loads and assignments of certified staff. Resources to be scheduled by the Director of Student Services and the School Principal according to student needs.
Non-Certified Support Staff
Support Services Staff (Non-Certified)
Instructional Aides
and Tutors
Instructional aides and
tutors provide assistance
to general education or
special education
teachers in the delivery
of services to students.
They are an integral
component of the overall
instructional service
delivery model and
important to effective
implementation of the
SRBI (Scientific Research-
Based Interventions)
teaching model.
Non-Certified Support Staff
Salem School depends on
the contributions of the
non-certified support
staff to perform both
school-level and district-
level duties, making it
possible for the district
to provide services to our
students and staff.
Although they represent
only a small portion of
the overall staffing
profile, without these
employees the school
and district could not
function.

Administrative Staff and Staffing Summary
Administrative Staff
Both school and district
administrators provide
the leadership and
management required
for successful operation
of the Salem School. The
duties they perform and
the responsibilities they
