Student test scores The Mississippi Department of Edu-cation released student performance results on the 2009 state assessments on August 21, noting that Mississippi students achieved “in line with what we expected,” said Interim State Superin-tendent John Jordan. “There was some improvement in a few areas, but there is still much work to be done,” Dr. Jordan said of the results. This is the second year that Mississippi students have taken tests based on the more rigorous Missis-sippi Curriculum Tests, Second Edi-tion (MCT2). English II and Algebra I Subject Area Tests also have been revised to meet standards based on the National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP) and other national standards. The State Board wants Mississippi students to reach the national average on national assessments by 2013. Student performance based on the state’s new accountability model is expected to be released by district and by school some-time in November.

District budgets cut 5% Following Governor Haley Barbour’s an-nouncement of across-the-board budget cuts in the amount of 5 percent, the Mississippi Department of Education translated the news in terms of educa-tion dollars lost to school districts. The 5 percent impact on education budgets ranged from about $6 million each for DeSoto County and Jackson Public school districts to about $43,000 each for Clay County School District and Hinds County AHS. Visit MSBA’s web-site, www.msbaonline.org, to see how the 5 percent budget cuts affect other school districts.

Coming up...The Fourth Annual MSBA RISK (Reliable Insurance Support & Knowl-edge) Seminar is set for October 27-28 at Hyatt Place in Ridgeland. Jackson County Supt. Barry Amacker is among the presenters, along with state and local workers’ comp experts. The seminar is designed especially for school busi-ness officials, risk management special-ists, claims personnel and other school leaders committed to implementing and maintaining an efficient, economi-cal workers’ comp and/or property & casualty insurance program.

Civil Rights Education added to curriculum

The Mississippi Board of Education recently approved the 2010 Mississippi U.S. History: Post-Reconstruction to Present framework, a curriculum which incorporates civil rights and human rights content, as mandated in Senate Bill 2718, passed in 2006 by the Mississippi Legislature. In developing the new curriculum, the Mississippi Department of Education (MDE) worked closely with the Mississippi Civil Rights Education Commission (MCREC) -- a group of educators, historians and community leaders with strong knowledge of the Civil Rights Movement.

Dr. Ollye Shirley, a MCREC member, drew from her own experience as a civil rights veteran in helping create the curriculum. “This is an important project because all of the children in this state, especially African-American children, need to learn about the contributions of all people,” she said. “We have all played an important role in the development of this country.”

MDE is working this fall with the Fannie Lou Hamer National Institute on Citizenship and Democracy at Jackson State University, Teaching for Change (a non-profit for building social justice in the classroom) and the William Winter Institute for Racial Reconciliation at Ole Miss to conduct seminars and workshops that acquaint teachers with the new curriculum as well as provide them civil rights era documents and other educational resources for classroom use. A website also has been created, listing people, places, and events of the Mississippi Civil Rights Movement by county.

Pass Christian High School stu-dents are taking vocational techni-cal courses this fall at the Hancock

County School District Vocational Technical Center, thanks to an agree-ment worked out by the two districts’ superintendents and board of trustees. Without the partnership, Pass Chris-tian students would have been without vo-tech options this year, caused by the closing of a consortium to which their district belonged. Instead, Pass Christian students have joined with their peers from Hancock High School and Bay High School to take vocational courses of their choice. Pass Christian Superin-tendent Sue Matheson made the initial contact with Hancock County Super-intendent Alan Dedeaux. One thing led to another, and viola! Pass Christian students are enjoying the benefits of attending Hancock County Vocational Technical Center. The addition of Pass Christian students brings the enrollment of the vocational technical center to 455 students.

Partnership saves the district

Making the right moves is critical to getting a firm handle on risk management issues. Without at-

tention, safety issues can boggle the mind, resulting in injuries, hospital stays, confinement, and lost time in the job of educating Mississippi’s nearly 500,000 children. Most accidents are prevent-able. With the right pre-cautions in place, school districts will be well on their way to minimizing accidents. The clues for effectively curtailing ac-cidents and making safety a priority in the school district environ-ment are clear. The Fourth Annual MSBA RISK Seminar will show you how to put a practical safety program in place, us-ing the latest techniques and strategies to prevent accidents and keep more employees on the job. The seminar is designed for school administrators, school risk management and human resources personnel, workers’ comp spe-cialists and others whose job is to keep track of employee injuries and/or claims.
