A Message from the Superintendent . . .

(Gr. 5 - 6) Main Street School

(Gr. 2 - 3) Pleasant Elementary (Gr. PreK - 1) Maplehurst Elementary

(Gr. 4) League Elementary

Dear Citizens of Norwalk,

The Norwalk City School District continues a proud tradition towards life-long education because of thecommitment and dedication of staff members, concerned parents, a concerned community, and very hardworking students. This year's graduating class (153rd Commencement) was reminded of this community'scommitment to education that began many years ago and was invited to become part of an active andvibrant alumni organization going into the future. This longevity of commitment and excellence is what hasdriven this school district into the future.

The challenges facing the Norwalk City School District are many, including: the implementation of therevised Ohio Standards (Common Core Standards), preparation for a new online student assessmentsystem, the development and implementation of a new teacher and principal evaluation system, and aneed for improvement of the overall safety and general welfare for all students and staff members in ourschools. These challenges are all considered absolute "musts" on the part of the district while facinginherent financial challenges.

In our quest to make sure our district is operating efficiently, effectively, and getting the best "bang" fromour community dollars, we have made major changes in our academic structure through consolidation ofgrade levels. The Norwalk City School District continues to be one of the lowest spending districts in ourper pupil expenditures in the area and around the state. Efficiency of operation have been the "buzz" wordsfor several years in the district.

The current biennial budget just passed by the state legislature returns (increases) the district to a statefunding level seen in SFY2009. The school district continued to reduce staff through attrition and anadditional "Reduction in Force" for this current school year which has lessened the impact of inflationaryincreases. As we examine our operating budget, we find a shortfall continues in spite of additional cutbacksin both staffing and overall operations.

The strong academic focus remains in place for the Norwalk City School District now and going forward.We have had great success on the part of our students both academically and athletically at all levels. Thisfocus is carried on by our parents, our staff and our students. We need to continue to have communitysupport in a very real way going forward. The tremendous legacy established in the early years of ourschool district will be carried on because of the commitment of many.Thank you for your continued support of our schools.

Sincerely,

Dennis J. DoughtySuperintendent

Students in grades 5 and 8 werealso given the O.A.A. in science. Students in grades 10, 11 and 12 weregiven the Ohio Graduation Test.

PROJECTED 5 YEAR STUDENT ENROLLMENT

This year the Norwalk City School District will continue to partner with a coalition of schools andorganizations to implement a Developmental Asset program in Huron County. The Search Institutein Minneapolis, Minnesota, has surveyed over two million youth across the United States andCanada. Researchers have learned about the experiences, attitudes, behaviors, and the numberof developmental assets at work for these young people. As the result of this research, theSearch Institute has identified 40 developmental assets. Their research indicates that there is astrong and consistent relationship between the number of assets present in young peoples'lives and the degree to which they develop in positive and healthful ways. Results show that thegreater the number of developmental assets possessed by young people, the more positive andsuccessful their development. The fewer the number of assets, the greater the possibility thatyoung people will engage in risky behaviors. On the monthly calendar pages that follow, adifferent developmental asset category will be highlighted with suggestions on building thatparticular asset. Building assets in youth is everyone's responsibility. Make a difference - becomeas asset builder.

PARENTAL INVOLVEMENT IN EDUCATIONThe Board believes that parental involvement is an important part of the educational program. Current research indicates that a home-school partnership and greater involvement on the

part of parents in the education of their children generally result in higher achievement scores, improved student behavior and reduced absenteeism. All parents and foster caregivers are encouragedto take an active role in the education of their children or foster children.

The Board directs the administration to develop the necessary regulations to ensure that this policy is followed and that parent/guardian involvement is encouraged. The regulations are to:1. encourage strong home-school partnerships; 2. provide for consistent and effective communication between the parents/guardians and school officials; 3. offer parents/guardians ways to assist and encourage their children to do their best; 4. offer ways parents/guardians can support classroom learning activities and 5. provide opportunitiesfor parents/guardians to be involved in the parental involvement program.

In addition, building administrators/designees of schools receiving Title I funds will jointly develop with and distribute to parents of children participating in Title I programs a writtenparental involvement policy and guidelines. The requirements of the policy and guidelines are consistent with Federal and State law.
