Re: Bus Routes / Stops

Attached is a copy of a memo I wrote just after school opened regarding the issue of bus stop adjustments made during the past summer months. The main issue that we saw was many parents were concerned that bus stops for elementary age students were located on corners of busy roads. Many of our cul-de-sacs intersect with busy roads [Wiley Hill, Shasta, Old Derry, etc.]. For the most part, bus inquiries had significantly settled down, although we still service some calls. Also, I remember reading in one of the local papers, other school districts had made similar adjustments to their fleet of buses, forcing them to make adjustments to bus stop locations that raised concerns of many parents.

In the upcoming FY15 budget, I will be requesting an additional 1.5 buses for anticipated growth, mainly in the northeast quadrant of the Town. I will also be asking for one additional bus to bring back some of the flexibility loss when we reduced the fleet by one bus this fiscal year.

Re: Bus Routes / Stops

As you have seen, Cindy and I have received a much higher volume of bus stop inquiries this summer. You will recall, during the budget workshops, we reduced the bus fleet by one from 36 to 35 buses serving grades 1 thru 12. We disclosed at those meetings the impact would be the discontinuance of servicing the cul-de-sac roads, more students per bus, and loss of flexibility. The adjustments to the bus routes and stops have parents upset, mainly at the elementary level.

In regard to the cul-de-sacs, it is becoming clear the real issue is the fact many of these roads intersect with a busy road. [High Range, Litchfield, Wiley Hill, etc.] The parents have communicated they are very uncomfortable having elementary aged students standing on the edge of those busy roads. I think I can say this change is a real culture shock to those impacted by the route adjustments.

In addition to the cul-de-sac issue, we are told many buses are carrying more students per bus than in the past. This capacity issue also affects our flexibility issue. For the past several years, we would have one or two buses we could “double-up” when necessary. They would have “short runs” where we could on the fly make minor adjustments whenever there was an accident, bad weather etc. During the first week, and it is not uncommon for buses to be late, we feel, however, many buses this year will be pushing the 4:00PM time frame. Each year, during the second and third weeks of school, STA will take an official count on each bus and submit that information to the School District. Also, during this same time frame, we discuss what if any routes require adjustments either due to capacity issues or when the route is “clearing” in the afternoon.

Unfortunately, the fix isn’t as easy as funding an additional bus. Because many of the routes were changed over the summer, STA would need about 4 weeks to re-do the routes. Also, once those routes are ready, I’m sure there will be the normal inquiries regarding the placement of stops. No matter how it ends up this year, I think it would be prudent for us to re-consider this issue as we build the FY15 budget.

Memo

To: Nate Greenberg

From: Peter Curro

Re: Financial Report 1st Qtr FY2014

FINANCIAL REPORT

Tax Rate Setting

At the time this memo was composed, we have not been notified of a meeting with the Department of Revenue Administration to set the December 2013 tax rate. There was some confusion concerning whether DRA would accept “estimates” from the Department of Education for Adequacy Education Grants. The DRA, after receiving several complaints and concurred that many tax rates would not be calculated until mid-December; DRA has changed its position and will accept best estimates from the DOE. Therefore, DRA is now in the process of scheduling tax rate setting meeting dates, and will accept the best figures DOE has at the time of the meeting. We could receive notification from DRA prior to the October 22

th Board meeting. Once we receive notification of the tax rate setting date for the

December 2013 tax rate, I will alert the Board.

General Fund:

At this early stage of the fiscal year, after committing all known expenditures for the current fiscal year, the General Fund is in good shape. Until we meet with DRA, any possible adjustments to state revenue is unknown at this time, however we have not heard of any surprises. On the expenditure side, the few accounts running over budget were “known” before the fiscal year began. As discussed, the health and dental lines are “net” of the posted surplus funds. We know we should be expecting one more surplus check from Health Trust for the Health and Dental accounts, however, we don’t know that figure at this time. In addition, the construction services account has a $32,000 credit posted to reimburse the District for the damaged equipment pavilion. We will be expending those funds to rebuild the pavilion during the next few months.

Revenues:

Until we meet with DRA officials, we will not know if there are any changes to the estimated revenue projections from the State. We anticipated a reduction on adequacy grant funds, due to the new law. In the past, DOE would use the ADM numbers from two years past providing them appropriate time to perform all the necessary calculations. This year, in an effort to take advantage of declining enrollment, the State has mandated DOE calculate ADM numbers from the immediate year ending. We have received our best estimate from DOE, however, that number can change by five-percent up or down. Until we know what number is available, an estimate or final number, we will not know what number to use when setting the tax rate. We do believe both Catastrophic and Building Aid will be pro-rated; however, we will not know the exact numbers until the meeting with DRA. All other revenues seem to be on target.

Chart I shows the year-ending value of the various revenue accounts held by the Town.

Chart I

As of June 30, 2013 School Impact Fee $127,323 School Maintenance Trust Fund 180,908 School Capital Projects 30,805 SPED Trust Fund 104,602

Expenditures:

As it is early in the new school year, many of the discretionary accounts are just beginning to be used. All salary, benefits, and other predictable costs (debt, contracts, and maintenance), have been encumbered and reflect the projected annual cost and available budget amounts. As always, until we get through the winter months, I will be guarded when projecting our year-end financial position.

The enclosed expenditure report is formatted by function and object code. Historical trends assist the predictability of individual accounts within each object code summary. Below, we show accounts that are projected to be positive at year-end as well as individual accounts with negative balances or projected negative balances material in nature. The individual accounts projected to overrun their budget are listed in Table I.

At this time, there are only a few accounts that look to go over budget at year-end. The two employee benefit lines [health, dental] will come significantly under budget due to the change in operations by the risk pools ordered by the BSR. We hope to have a better handle on these two accounts by the time the second quarter report is ready. In addition, the construction services account shows a surplus of funds; however, we have not expended funds to rebuild the equipment pavilion. The other two accounts worth noting is the retirement salary line and workers comp, both was anticipated and planned.

SPED out-of-district tuition expenditures will come in higher than budgeted at year-end. At this point, we are showing a cost overrun of $187,963. We know this number will change throughout the year, depending on how many new cases for out-of-district placements are approved.

Finally, the comment for this report is we still do not know the impact or timing of the several court cases regarding the State retirement program. We know a lower court has ruled against the action of the State Legislature, and all have been referred on appeal to the Supreme Court.


Table I provides a list of accounts that we predict will overrun their individual account lines. Unless specified, the following two areas will be used to cover these anticipated budget overruns.

The main accounts to cover the cost over runs are:

Salary accounts Savings in these lines are due to all professional and full time staff turnover. Predominantly, senior staff employees retire or move to other districts and are replaced by less experienced or entry-level staff. Our commitment and dedicated resources towards staff development will quickly get these employees to the level of experienced professionals. During the budget process, it is impossible to project any savings the District might expect due to staff turnover.

Savings = $800,000

Employee Benefits Account savings due to the change in operations by the Risk Pools managing surplus funds

Savings = $292,450

Table I highlights the larger unfavorable balances with a brief explanation.

FOOD SERVICE At this very early stage in the fiscal year, it appears food service is doing better than last year. As you are aware, we conducted a survey asking parents/ students to provide feedback concerning the service and food quality / selection currently provided. From that survey, we have already made several small adjustments at the middle school that seem to be already providing dividends. We have separated the “snack bar” line from the lunch line, reducing the waiting period for both. This seems to have generated higher revenue outcome at the middle school from last year. We are looking into the same concept at the High School. It is too early to project the year-end projection. One factor is how will the federal shutdown affect federal reimburse revenue. We are hopeful from evaluating operations at this early stage; the food service program will not be in a negative position at year-end. CIP UPDATE The Planning Board has approved the 2015-2021 capital improvement plan. During the public hearing held Wednesday October 9, I presented the Board with testimony regarding the School requests as well as up-to-date numbers for the SAU and auditorium projects. These estimates were questioned at the Planning Board’s workshop held a few weeks ago. The new costs for the two projects going forward are: SAU $ 3,100,000 Auditorium $16,500,000

5.3 School Board Liaison Reports

Mr. Young spoke about the crop walk which was done this weekend. This was

completely off the road around the campuses of the middle school, high school, Moose Hill and

Matthew Thornton and Mr. Young was very impressed. He spoke about the beauty of the 35

campuses. Mr. Laferriere spoke about the football game that he attended both on and off the

high school campus. The behavior of the students has been very good. The students had fun, but

acted as great representatives of our town. Mrs. Reilly had nothing. Mr. Robinson had nothing.

Mrs. Hendricks spoke about the SERESC meeting on the common core. Mr. Corey, Mr.

Greenberg and Mrs. Hendricks attended the South Central Superintendents meeting. The 40

superintendent of schools said the school board still has local control over all aspects of

curriculum. She spoke about the career and college ready standards which Londonderry has

adopted with the expectation to meet the standards by 2017. There are 261 students who are

enrolled in dual credit courses at the school. She spoke about the cost of the smarter balance

tests which will be $22.50 per student (funded by the state). Mr. Robinson asked about the cost 45

of the current test. It is comparable. Mrs. Hendricks asked about the web site to find the

presentation. Anyone interested could go to education.nh.gov.

6.0 Deliberations 5

6.1 To see what action(s) the Board will take regarding Overnight Field Trips

There are a number of High School Overnight field trips that are outlined in the

memo presented to the board. The school district doesn’t pay for these field trips; the parents

pay or raise their payments through various fund raisers. The only cost to the district is the use 10

of the school vans by some of the teams. Mrs. Hendricks asked for an overall cost of the trips to

be brought back to the board. Mrs. Reilly asked if there have been any issues with students

while they are on the field trips. Mr. Parent said there have not been any issues. The students

conduct themselves very well. Mr. Laferriere made the motion to approve the overnight field

trips. Mrs. Reilly seconded the motion. Motion passed 4-0-1 (John Robinson abstained) 15

6.2 To see what action(s) the Board will take regarding 2nd

Reading of Policy

IIAE – Digital Technology Acceptable Use Policy revisions (Bring Your Own

Device)

Mr. Corey explained why this policy is being brought forward. There have been 20

no changes since the first reading. Mr. Robinson asked if there is any mischief going on at the

high school. Mr. Corey, Mr. Coe and Mr. Parent said they are not aware of anything. Ms. Cote

said she knows of students capable of doing some things like breaking passwords, but that she

hasn’t heard of anyone doing anything. Mr. Young made the motion to approve the policy

IIAE- Digital Technology Acceptable Use Policy for the second reading. Mrs. Reilly seconded 25

the motion. Motion passed 5-0-0.

7.0 Superintendent’s Report

7.1 Discussion of Concussion Policy 30

Mr. Greenberg explained the changes that have been made which include that

now all students and parents will have to take the CDC concussion course on line and print out

the completion certificate in order to sign up for a sport. Mr. Greenberg said 62 students (38

males, 24 females) who have had concussions (or concussion like symptoms) due to participation

in football, soccer, ice hockey, field hockey, swimming, lacrosse, softball, gymnastics and 35

cheerleading. Mr. Greenberg said students are not allowed back on the field unless they have a

doctor’s note. Additionally, the district does baseline testing for all students as part of their

participation on the team. This is a “for fee” service if done in the private sector. Mr. Young

spoke about a student who had two concussions which caused the family to reevaluate the choice

to be involved in sports. Mr. Young spoke about the importance of it being the family’s choice 40

and our role was to give students the tools.

7.2 September Enrollment Report – Nate Greenberg

There are currently 4,553 in house and 4,572 including out of district, home study

and adult education students in the district. This number seems to settle in around November 45

with a change again in May. In seasons past there was a 30-35% student turnover in grades 5-9.

This has changed. Now the district is also seeing young parents coming back into their parent’s

homes. Mr. Greenberg spoke about the changes coming with the developments that are currently

being built or planned in the town. His expectation is that the students will come in at

elementary school age which would affect North School. 50

Memo

To: Nate Greenberg, Superintendent

Londonderry School Board

From: Andrew Corey, Assistant Superintendent

Date: October 22, 2013

Re: Third Reading, Bring Your Own Device (BYOD)/Acceptable Use Policy (AUP) IIAE

_________________________________________________________________________________________

Tonight, we are providing the Board with an update regarding our progress towards updating of

our Acceptable Use Policy to allow the District to become a Bring Your Own Device (BYOD)

environment. Our District over the last two years has been taking steps to increase our band

width, further integrate technology into our curriculum and set the foundation for Londonderry to

utilize a BYOD environment. Under the leadership of our IT Director in conjunction with the

Curriculum Office and through discussions during budget season and at our Curriculum

Coordinating Council, we are now ready to take the next steps in this process after consulting

legal counsel.

This fall we will welcome back teachers in grades 6-12 to an infrastructure that has increased

bandwidth, additional WIFI access points and increased technology at all levels. Teachers will

be able to utilize their personal devices through both the District network and a newly developed

guest network. We have the appropriate security capabilities and anyone accessing either

network will go through the District filtering system. From September to January, the IT

Department will monitor the traffic flow on our network while completing the installation of a

new server that will allow remote access to all files for all staff. Students, in January, will be able

to access the guest network while in school and remotely access their files.

During the second semester, the IT Department will begin increasing the WIFI access points at

the elementary level. At this time, we do not envision allowing elementary (K-5) students to

bring their own device but we do intend to gather the data from the kindergarten and first grade

iPad pilots to determine the most fiscally prudent yet instructionally sound approach to

increasing the integration of technology to enhance the delivery of instruction at the elementary

level.


Office of Assistant Superintendent

“Giving Wings to Children’s Dreams”

2

This policy and the steps outlined in this memo support the goals and objectives identified in the

strategic plan. The roll out of this technology and the increase in both band width and remote

access points were discussed at the Curriculum Coordinating Council and were identified in the

operating budget and the lease purchases during the FY14 budget discussions.

The IT Department along with the Curriculum Office will analyze data to identify our areas of

progress while reviewing key aspects for future planning. As in the past, we have and will

continue to develop action items at both the building and District level which will be

incorporated into the District’s strategic plan. Our building Principals will be asked to provide

input which will focus specifically on the areas where they believe technology can enhance

instruction in their building. The District will also continue to update its plan which will

coordinate all our schools efforts and serve as a roadmap for our continued improvement. By

approving the AUP/BYOD policy at a future meeting, we will have established an access point

for the District to develop and deliver blended content. In closing, I want to thank each of you

for your support as we continue to provide a positive educational experience for the students of

Londonderry.

IIAE

LONDONDERRY SCHOOL DISTRICT

Digital Technology/Electronic Media Acceptable Use Policy: (DT/EM-AUP)

For purposes of this policy, “users and groups” refers to Londonderry School District

employees, students, contracted service personnel, community members, guests, organizations

and any volunteers working within the District or schools.

For purposes of this policy, “DT/EM-AUP” refers to the Londonderry School District

Digital Technology/Electronic Media Acceptable Use Policy and “DT/EM” refers to Digital

Technology/Electronic Media

The responsibility of all users and groups is to familiarize themself with and abide by the rules of

this DT/EM-AUP, the Student Handbook and all other applicable school policies. The

Londonderry School District encourages the use of DT/EM for completing educational

assignments and professional responsibilities. The primary purpose of providing access to

DT/EM within the District is to support the educational goals and objectives outlined in the

Londonderry School District Strategic Plan. The following DT/EM-AUP applies to all users

and groups, who use the District’s DT/EM. Any violation of the terms spelled out below may

result in loss of access to the District’s DT/EM and/or disciplinary/legal action.

I. Introduction

Pursuant to New Hampshire Revised Statutes Annotated 194:3-d, this DT/EM-AUP shall

serve as a statement on the appropriate use of the various “DT/EM” available to all authorized

users and groups of the Londonderry School District including, but not limited to, the

Londonderry School District computers, network, tablets, phones, electronic mail system (e-

mail), website (homepage) and Internet access. It is the Londonderry School District’s goal to

enhance educational excellence with the assistance of these technology resources. It is expected

that all digital technology users will respect the rights of others, and will act in a way that reflects

proper ethical and legal standards at all times.

A. The Internet

The Internet, and the World Wide Web, is a vast information network that links

individuals, computers, networks and databases throughout the world. The Internet has the

potential to serve as an invaluable resource because it allows immediate access to and download

of educational materials found at universities and colleges, government agencies and

departments, non-profit organizations, private businesses and companies, and even private

residences. All users and groups should be aware that the Internet’s power to access limitless

resources also includes information or material that lacks educational value and can be

inaccurate, controversial, objectionable, offensive, defamatory and even illegal. The

Londonderry School District does not condone the use of such materials at any time and

prohibits the use of the Londonderry School District technology resources for these purposes.

2

The Londonderry School District uses a technology protection measure that blocks or

filters Internet access to some Internet sites that are not in accordance with District policy. The

technology protection measure may be disabled by appropriate personnel upon request from staff

for research purposes to access a site with legitimate educational value with that is wrongly

blocked by the technology protection measure. Appropriate personnel will monitor use of the

Internet to ensure enforcement of the policy yet, it is technologically impossible for the

Londonderry School District or any district staff member to adequately filter or control the

quality or content of the information available on the Internet while still retaining a meaningful

connection to it. Therefore, all users and groups will be held responsible for ensuring that their

activities adhere to the District’s DT/EM-AUP and to generally accept educational standards as

outlined in other applicable district policies.

The Internet also provides interactive communication technologies, such as e-mail, news

groups, list servers, instant chat rooms, podcasts, wikis, blogs and discussion groups. While

these interactive technologies hold great potential for the learning process, they are also very

disruptive if improperly utilized. All users and groups using Londonderry School District

Internet access to participate in these interactive technologies without an educational purpose

will be subject to disciplinary action.

Clearly, the Londonderry School District Internet access can serve as a means for

improving, extending and enriching teaching and learning in the Londonderry School District.

Thus, the Londonderry School District firmly believes that the educational benefits to staff and

students from access to the Internet, in the form of information resources and opportunities for

collaboration or interaction, far exceed the disadvantages.

B. Londonderry School District Web Presence

The Londonderry School District’s presence on the Internet has been established to

communicate the happenings of the Londonderry School District with staff, students, parents,

community members and the world. The District’s Website (www.londonderry.org) is intended

to convey general information about the Districts’ schools, events, curricula or programs of

study, and policies and procedures. All information or material must be professional, ethical and

meet the standards required of other district publications. As such, it is not a forum for regularly

hosting publications for non-Londonderry School District events or organizations. The District

uniformly prohibits unauthorized hyperlinks from its sections to other websites. Any

unauthorized hyperlink to the School District or schools section is a violation of this policy,

subject to disciplinary action.

All users and groups who wish to post information on or attach web pages to the

District's website sections must complete and submit to the District a signed copy of the Web

Acceptable Use Policy Agreement Form. If the proposed Web Acceptable Use Policy

Agreement Form is approved by the Londonderry School District, then the information of the

student or organization will be subject to review to ensure compliance with the District’s Digital

Technology/Electronic Media Acceptable Use Policy and any other applicable District policies,

as well as copyright laws. All users and groups understand that the Web Acceptable Use Policy

Agreement Form is a contract. As part of this contract, the Londonderry School District reserves

the right to at any time, without advance notice to all users and groups to monitor, access,

modify, remove, review, and/or retrieve the subject, content, and appropriateness of any and all

information stored or transmitted on the District's sections of the Londonderry Website,

http://www.londonderry.org/

3

hyperlinks or web pages attached to these sections. Original user and group work that is posted

will be protected by copyright laws and the District will act as an intermediary for any request

for permission to use and/or publish student work.

In order to maintain the safety of the Londonderry School District students, student work

or materials, pictures of students, and any such other information that would allow for the

identification of students, will only be allowed after the receipt of written permission from

students and their parent(s) or guardian(s). All information about students posted will comply

with the District’s policy on student records, the Federal Family Education Rights and Privacy

Act, and any other applicable state or federal law.

The creator of any District web page is responsible for ensuring that the information

contained therein is of the highest editorial standard (spelling, punctuation, grammar, style, et

cetera). The information should be factually accurate and current. If errors are observed, the

Director of Technology, principal or designated school personnel should be contacted to make

the necessary corrections.

All teacher and staff professional websites must reflect the high educational standards of

the Londonderry School District. There may be no links from a teacher’s or staff member’s

professional website to his or her personal website or to other websites of a non-educational

nature except with permission from the Building Principal, the Director of Technology, the

Superintendent of Schools or his/her designee.

All links from a School’s website to sites outside the Londonderry School District

network must be approved by the Director of Technology, the Building Principal or his/her

designee. At all times, there must be a good faith effort to verify the authenticity of material

posted on the District’s websites.

II. Definition and Purpose

“Digital Technology” is any device that creates, transmits, or accesses digital

information, whether connected to the network or used in a stand-alone situation. “Digital

information” or “Electronic Media” is any data created, transmitted, or accessed by digital

technology.

“Educational” refers to the process of teaching and learning that is tied to the curriculum

of the Londonderry School District or the Common Core State Standards.

The Londonderry Public Schools provides access to its data network and Internet portal

(the “network”) all users and groups. This network includes all hardware used to deliver and

receive data, as well as all software instrumental in viewing and working with data over the

network. Any computer – whether purchased by the District or owned by the individual –

that is connected to our network at any time is considered part of the network and, thus, is

subject to the terms of the Londonderry School District Digital Technology/Electronic Media

Acceptable Use Policy.

III. District Limitation of Liability

The Londonderry School District makes no warranties of any kind; either expressed or

implied that the functions or the services provided by or through its network will be error free or

without defect.

4

The District will not be responsible for any damages users may suffer, including but not

limited to; loss of data or interruptions in service, personal, physical, psychological and/or

monetary damages.

The District is not responsible for the accuracy or quality of the information obtained

through or stored on the network.

The District will not be responsible for the unauthorized financial obligations arising

through the use of the network.

IV. Due Process

While on the network, the user agrees to take full responsibility for his or her actions.

The Londonderry School District will not be held liable for the actions of anyone connecting

through our network. Therefore, all users and groups shall assume full responsibility – legal,

financial, or otherwise – for their use of the network.

Violations of the DT/EM-AUP can carry serious consequences and could result in the

immediate suspension of the user’s privileges. The Administration and/or the town, county, state

or federal authorities may take further disciplinary action. Disciplinary actions will be tailored to

meet specific concerns related to the violation. These disciplinary actions may include

suspension/termination of employment or student disciplinary action which may result in

suspension or expulsion.

Any questions, suspicions, or allegations concerning adherence to the Digital

Technology/Electronic Media Acceptable Use Policy should be brought to the attention of the

Director of Technology, Building Principal, or the Superintendent of Schools.

V. Search and Seizure

The network and all devices (except those purchased personally by the user) attached to it

are the Property of the Londonderry School District; therefore these storage systems and the

devices are subject to inspection by the administration at any time. District-owned computers,

whether attached to the network or not, are subject to inspection by the administration at any

time. System users should expect limited privacy regarding the contents of their files stored on

the network.

An individual search will be conducted if there is suspicion that a user has violated the

DT/EM-AUP or the law. The nature of the investigation will be in relation to the context of the

nature of the alleged violation.

VI. Responsibilities

The Londonderry School District technology resources are provided for all users and

groups to conduct research, gather information and communicate with others for educational

purposes. The Londonderry School District technology resources shall not be utilized for

personal, commercial or other non-educational purposes. General school rules for behavior and

communications apply to all users and groups when using the Londonderry School District

technology resources as outlined in the Student Handbook. Acknowledging that the potential for

abuse of network resources exists, all users and groups and (parents/guardians of those who are

minors) must sign the Londonderry School District DT/EM-AUP Agreement Form prior to

5

accessing the Londonderry School District technology resources. All users and groups and

(parents/guardians of who are minors) shall assume full liability, whether legal, financial or

otherwise, for students’ actions when using the Londonderry School District technology

resources. Similarly, outside of school, parents and guardians bear responsibility for the

appropriate guidance of their children on the Internet, as they do with other information sources

such as television, telephones, movies, radio or other potentially offensive media.

VII. E-mail

All e-mail created by an employee of a government unit is a public record. Any member

of the public may request copies of e-mail. Please note that even deleted messages are subject to

disclosure because they are required to be backed up in our archives.

Users should consider e-mail messages to be equivalent to letters sent on official

letterhead and therefore should be written in a professional and courteous tone. Tone is often

difficult to discern in electronic communication and thus should not be regarded as a replacement

for face to face communication.

Faculty, staff, or students must not subscribe to mass electronic mailings (e.g. “chain

letters”, “jokes of the day”, “horoscopes”, “trivia”, et cetera). Mass mailings take up valuable

network space that should be used for educational purposes. If a faculty member joins a

professional (educational) listserv, it is requested that he/she subscribe in digest form. Please

contact the listserv administrator or a member of the IT Department for instructions on how to

accomplish this.

Students are not allowed to access non-school email accounts, including chat and

instant messaging. In the event that students are given e-mail accounts through the Londonderry

School District, all e-mail rules stated in this DT/EM-AUP apply.

Email accounts issued by the Londonderry School District may not be used to bully,

harass, or threaten an individual or organization; accounts will not be used to send chain letters,

viruses, or hoaxes to other students, faculty, or individuals.

All user and group email accounts are filtered for language and content; any email that

contains inappropriate language or content will not be delivered and appropriate disciplinary

action will be taken. Disciplinary actions will be tailored to meet specific concerns related to the

violation.

VIII. Privilege

The use of the Londonderry School District technology resources is a privilege and not a

right. The Londonderry School District technology resources are only provided for educational

purposes to all users and groups, and shall not constitute a public forum.

and include additional behaviors and activities that can result in appropriate disciplinary action.

IX. Intentional Violations

The District is aware that violations of this policy may occur under circumstances where

all users and groups are involuntarily routed to sites containing inappropriate information or

material. Accordingly, disciplinary action under this policy shall only result from willful and

intentional violations of this policy. Notwithstanding, the District reserves the right to discipline

any user and group for violations of this policy where it is apparent that the user and group

knew, or should have known, that violations of this policy were likely to occur as a result of the

sections of the Londonderry Website and Internet access. The Londonderry School District

retains ownership and possessory control of its technology resources. The District does not

guarantee, and all users and groups should not have any expectation of; confidentiality, privacy,

security or ownership of the content of any information accessed, sent, received, created or

stored thereon. All users and groups should realize that electronic communications and other

information sent through the Internet are accessible by third parties, specifically the Internet

Service Provider.

The Londonderry School District technology resources are maintained and managed by a

network administrator in such a way as to insure its availability and reliability in performing the

Londonderry School District educational mission. All users and groups are advised that the

District’s technology resources are treated as a shared filing system, which means that in the

ordinary course of business, pursuit of educational purposes, routine maintenance, or in the

course of an investigation to protect the health, welfare and safety of the District, its staff and

students, a network administrator or other authorized District staff member may, at any time,

without advance notice to all users and groups, monitor, access, modify, remove, review,

retrieve, and/or disclose the subject, content and appropriateness of any and all information

stored or transmitted on District technology resources, including information that may have been

deleted but still exists on the system. All users and groups are put on notice that deleted files or

messages are never completely removed and may be retrieved or restored. All users and groups

should not save their personal work on computer hard drives or the network, but rather should

use a personal storage device for saving their work. All users and groups shall frequently

Londonderry School District Proposal for a Career and College Ready Assessment

Model

1

Executive Summary The Londonderry School District is requesting a waiver to replace the anticipated administration of the Smarter Balanced Assessment with a comprehensive package of assessments suited to supporting the achievement of the following School District Goals and Objectives: • All graduating students will demonstrate career and/or college readiness based on expanded

definitions of rigorous content, adaptive skills and critical dispositions by 2017 • The Londonderry School District will increase its two and four year college acceptance rate

from its current 88% to 92% by 2016 and 95% by 2020

Our proposal is to incorporate the following assessments into our overall assessment program: (for expanded details see pages 5, 6 and 7) Assessments: Grades 8 and 9 – ReadiStep - ReadiStep measures student skills needed to be on track for success as they transition to high school. It provides insight into students’ academic progress and also equips educators with tools they can use to make informed decisions in the classroom. Grade 10- ACT - This test, which would be administered digitally and provide instant feedback to teachers, will be utilized during the beginning of sophomore year to further identify the skills needed for acceleration. This "next generation" assessment will be pegged to the Common Core State Standards and cover the four areas of: English, Reading, Mathematics, and Science. Grade 11- PSAT - The Preliminary SAT/National Merit Scholarship Qualifying Test (PSAT/NMSQT) is a program cosponsored by the College Board and National Merit Scholarship Corporation (NMSC). It's a standardized test that provides firsthand practice for the SAT®. It also gives the student a chance to enter NMSC scholarship programs and gain access to college and career planning tools. Grade 11 – Accuplacer: A suite of tests that quickly, accurately, and efficiently assesses reading, writing, math, and computer skills To assist in the utilization of the data generated from these assessments we will create or incorporate the following: • Assessment Coordinator • District Academic Team • Guidance Interpretation Team • Assessment data that will be utilized for individual student curriculum adjustments,

pedagogy enhancements and course selection and college and career ready planning • Assessment data that will be incorporated in administration and staff evaluations

As the body of this proposal indicates, the assessment proposal (as outlined above) would complement and enhance the already existing assessments and support the following ongoing initiatives: • FASTT Mathematics computation assessment • Common writing prompts and grammar assessments • DIBELS assessment • CCSS assessments designed by Measured Progress • AIMSweb assessment program • Gates-MacGinitie Reading assessment • KeyMath assessments • Competency based courses and assessments at LHS • Common assessments • Mid-terms and Final exams • Professional Learning Communities • Curriculum Coordinating Council – C3 • Middle School and High School Programs

We believe this proposal will shape and further sharpen our focus and assist in the actualization of our goals, consistent with and supportive of the New Hampshire Career and College Readiness initiatives, Common Core Standards which are being implemented through our PLC groups, Curriculum Coordinating Council and will support and assist with our early college initiatives. Lastly, it is our belief that this assessment package proposal will have the added benefit of motivating students to perform their best as they have “true and intrinsic” meaning and impact on their future aspirations.

History: Four years ago as a District, we adopted four simple words “Think, Share, Create and Grow”. These words represent our vision to establish the 21st Century Classroom. We want our students to think critically and problem solve, share and collaborate through multiple means (both electronic and traditional); we want our students to use their imagination in order to create solutions to tomorrow’s problems; and we want both our staff and students to continue as lifelong learners. These four simple words set the stage for our Districts’ Curriculum Coordinating Council (C3) – composed of teachers, administrators, parents, community members and Board members; (40 members) to begin the process of reflecting upon our curriculum to ensure that it would meet the needs of the 21st Century student through the assessment of our College and Career Ready goal adopted by our School Board in 2012. To facilitate this process, the Board, upon the recommendation of the Administration, consolidated our Special Education Committee and our Technology Committee into C3 so that all stakeholders would be working together to develop our vision for the 21st Century student. The District selected West Ed. (a consulting firm) to assist us with the development of a process known as a Professional Learning Community (PLC) work. This PLC process involves all our elementary staff and is monitored at the building level by our Professional Learning Communities Core Team (30 teachers and administrators representing all three elementary schools). Our PLC Core Team working with our elementary administration began reflecting on our reading curriculum to determine our future direction. After many months, it was determined that we would move to a more blended reading curriculum at the elementary level. This would allow for a greater influx of teacher recommended novels and balance the use of our existing textbook and its accompanying materials with the need to teach our students how to interpret and dissect literature. The elementary administration incorporated this vision into our Strategic Plan and regularly provided updates to C3 and the Board. During the PLC process, our teachers working in grade level teams identified essential standards for each grade level. From these essential standards, teachers identified a set of power standards that a student should master at each grade level. Our PLC teams continue to meet regularly during their contractual preparation time and discuss both their instructional progress as well as the data from our student assessments. Last year, our third year in the change process, our elementary staff began the cross walk between our curriculum and the standards and skills identified in the Common Core State Standards (CCSS). Our staff identified access points where we could incorporate the skill set identified in the Common Core into our locally developed curriculum; including analyzing, synthesizing, and the evaluation of concepts, values, and knowledge. The novels and reading passages have been selected by our staff and discussed at C3. Our teachers continue to encourage new ideas, new thinking, invention, and imagination based on our local curriculum work. Teachers have continued an emphasis on self-discipline, organizational skills, drive, and integrity. Our focus continues to be developing “respectful and inclusive minds” with moral courage. We are emphasizing student engagement and collaboration to develop the leadership skills needed today and for the future. We believe that our work regarding the integration of the CCSS skill set has allowed us to continue with our proven curriculum, while emphasizing

DRAFT


Model

analyzing, synthesizing, and the evaluation of concepts, values, and knowledge which our teachers have begun to devote increased instructional time. The same process has been implemented in mathematics. As a District, we agree with increasing the level of rigor but do not believe that it is developmentally appropriate for all students to be taking algebra in grade eight. We presently have approximately 25% of our eighth graders taking algebra and another 1% of our grade eight students taking advanced geometry at our high school. We continue to discuss what participation percentage for advanced mathematics is obtainable for Londonderry at the eighth grade level. To accelerate our math program, we have incorporated some changes to our scope and sequence. The following are two examples; we have included subtraction into our Kindergarten curriculum and in third grade, we have accelerated when we cover the topic of division. These adjustments should allow us to gain instructional time in order to touch upon more algebraic and geometric topics at the middle school. We have never viewed our curriculum as a one size fits all, and thus, will continue to evaluate and implement pacing and content to meet the needs of the individual learner while offering opportunities to accomplish our objective of College or Career Readiness. During the 2012-2013 year, our District instituted the goal of Career and College Readiness for all students. We want our students to go from being eligible for college to ensure that they are prepared to be successful. Yearly, we review our high school offerings while evaluating each department to identify areas for growth. Most recently, we have focused our attention on access points for dual credit courses and the continued expansion of our Advanced Placement offerings. To this end, we added seven (7) dual enrollment courses in collaboration with Southern New Hampshire University bringing our dual credit offerings to sixeen (16) at Londonderry High School. When we combine these dual credit courses with our honors programs, advanced placement courses, required courses for graduation, our on-site electives and our career technical opportunities (Manchester School of Technology and Alvirne), we are able to offer our students a curriculum that will prepare them for life after the Londonderry school system. We have also begun to investigate the ability of our faculty to offer on-line courses and are piloting a “Virtual Skies” program with the Aviation Museum of New Hampshire that allows our students to gain high school credits beyond normal school hours. As in the past, Londonderry will continue to utilize and enhance our locally developed curriculum, reflective and aligned with the Common Core, to meet the needs of our community. The Board has supported our goal of a 21st Century Classroom and approved our objective for College and Career Readiness. We will continue to utilize our Strategic Plan as our guiding document and seek Board approval for any strategic changes. Our School District is a competency based system. Our kindergarten and elementary schools through the PLC process have established essential standards at each grade level. The District working with Measured Progress has created assessments that monitor students’ competency while incorporating both formative and summative assessments. Our elementary schools also utilize the DIBELS assessment grades K-3; have common writing prompts and grammar

benchmark assessments. The District utilizes a three tiered model for instruction and all students participate in WIN (What I Need) groups based on their performance level as indicated on local assessment standards. Strategies for re-teaching and enrichment are developed based on our identified power standards during professional learning community discussions. In mathematics, the District has developed common benchmark testing and uses FASTT Math to track students’ progress with fluency. In both mathematics and language arts, students have the ability to participate in accelerated and remedial programs to meet their individual needs. Our Middle School students are divided into 10 teams to provide them with a small school culture within a large middle school environment. The middle school has a wealth of support personnel and the technology to meet the individual needs of our students. Londonderry Middle School has embraced the concept of flipped learning in science and utilizes on-line course work to assist struggling readers or students who may be looking to gain credits in a particular area of study. Londonderry High School is a comprehensive school that is divided into four houses to enhance and create a support system for our student body. The four house organization allows students to form relationships with their administrator and their counselor. Through the use of two vocational centers, the high school has increased their ability to meet the diverse needs of its population. Londonderry High School is a competency based high school that also administers both mid-term and final exams. A wealth of technology is dispersed throughout the building (tech rich classroom, iPad integration, students response systems) and students will soon be functioning in a BYOD (Bring Your Own Device) environment. Educational Greatness Londonderry’s definition of “educational greatness” is measured by the true components of a successful life; by how colleges and universities, employers and our community accept and value our graduates; by the creativity, imagination, deeds, and moral actions of our students. Londonderry’s educational greatness is also measured by our children’s ability to form lifelong relationships, work in teams, and become agents of transformation in the “real world.” Our school motto, Giving Wings to Children’s Dreams, reflects the value placed upon the special talents of each student. Moreover, our goal of Career and/or College Ready for all students is based upon serving our community for the benefit of everyone. The Londonderry School District’s collaboration model includes the School Board, administration, faculty, staff, students, parents, alumni, family members, volunteers, and community friends. Londonderry begins its quest for academic excellence by hiring teachers who possess deep knowledge of their subject, are at the cutting edge of their field, who value imagination and creative thinking, and who understand, and frankly, have a passion for teaching. In Londonderry, “rigorous academics” means teaching students how to analyze, synthesize, and evaluate concepts, values, and knowledge. It means encouraging new ideas, new thinking, invention, and

imagination. It means an emphasis on self-discipline, organizational skills, drive, and integrity. It means developing “respectful and inclusive minds” with moral courage. It means engagement and leadership today and for the future. Goal: If the Londonderry School District were to be granted this waiver, we would select a target of 92% (current status is 88%) of our students being accepted to two and four year colleges by spring of 2016. Our expectation would be to evaluate and reflect on this target during the summer of 2016. If we were to be successful, our next target would be to reach and maintain a 95% acceptance rate by 2020. We do not view this testing proposal as a high school objective but rather as a component of our systematic approach to college and career readiness. Purpose: The Londonderry School District, in order to achieve its goal of “Career and College Readiness, has developed a systematic approach that begins when our students enters kindergarten and concludes when they are accepted to college or have selected a career choice that supports their goals and objectives. To this end, Londonderry has placed a great value on both local and state assessment data, a comprehensive Response to Intervention program grades kindergarten through twelve, a big buddy program for at-risk students at our middle school, our Londonderry Incoming Freshman Transition Program (LIFT) to assist students transitioning from eighth to ninth grade, an advisory program which supports struggling students. These programs have resulted in a dropout rate of less than one half of one percent and a college acceptance rate of 88%, with seven percent of our students selecting a technical program and/or the military service. Proposal: The Londonderry School District will use local assessment data to track students’ performance in grades kindergarten through grade two. In grade three, the District will continue compiling local assessment data which will be combined with State assessment tests to determine students’ progress. Students with disabilities who cannot participate in the State assessment will be tracked through the development of a portfolio. Students with an IEP (K-12) who participate in the State assessment will also be monitored through the use of the AIMSweb assessment program. This assessment can be utilized up to five times per year for students who may benefit. At the middle level, all students will also be administered the Gates-MacGinitie in reading and the Key Math assessment will be used where needed. The District has constructed and will expand upon a data storage system where individual student results are stored and will be shared with a child’s parent or guardian during the spring of each year. Upon entering grade eight, the District will require students to participate in the SSAT developed by the College Board. This will continue in grade nine and in grade ten; the student will take the ACT test to gauge progress against the national standards in the areas of Mathematics, Reading, English and Science. The results of these assessments will assist staff and families in the scheduling of classes for junior and senior year as well as areas where acceleration may be needed in order to address an achievement gap. In grade eleven, all students will be administered the Preliminary Scholastic Aptitude Test (PSAT) and seniors choosing not to take a fourth year of mathematics will be administered the Accuplacer test to determine competency. Seniors in good standing will

be provided the option of taking the test administration day as a college visit day or participating in a college fair day sponsored on-site by the Guidance Department. Cost: Traditionally the School District has covered the cost for our students to participate in the IOWA test of basic skills. If this proposal were approved, the District would utilize these budgeted funds to defray the cost of the SSAT at grade 8, the SSAT at grade 9, and the ACT test at grade 10. The District would request that the Department of Education utilize the funds ($22.50/student) allocated to the Smarter Balanced Assessment to fund the costs of the PSAT test being administered to Londonderry students in grade 11. School District Governing Model: The District is governed by a five member elected School Board who meets twice monthly to address all matter pertaining to school operation and governance. Assessment Coordinator: The District would identify and provide a stipend to coordinate the pre-testing organization, the testing day coordination and the follow up sessions. The coordinator would serve on the Academic team and make recommendations to the guidance team regarding the development of the assessment interpretation sessions. The coordinator would be the contact liaison between the District and the assessment companies. Assessments: Grade 8 and 9– ReadiStep - ReadiStep measures student skills needed to be on track for success as they transition to high school. It provides insight into students’ academic progress and also equips educators with tools they can use to make informed decisions in the classroom. The College Readiness Pathway: ReadiStep is the first step on the College Board’s College Readiness Pathway — an integrated series of assessments that includes the PSAT/NMSQT and the SAT. Together, these assessments measure a progression of skills and help schools and districts make targeted interventions at critical points in a student’s career. Measuring College and Career Readiness: Like the PSAT/NMSQT and the SAT, ReadiStep measures the skills students need to be on track for success in college and careers. The College Board’s College Readiness Pathway assessments are equally or more aligned to the Common Core than any other large-scale assessment available today. ACT – Grade 10 - This test, which would be administered digitally and provide instant feedback to teachers, will be utilized during the beginning of sophomore year to further identify the skills needed for acceleration. This "next generation" assessment will be pegged to the Common Core State Standards and cover the four areas of: English, reading, math, and science. This assessment would look beyond academics to get a complete picture of the whole student. There would be interest inventories for students as well as assessment of behavioral skills for students and teachers to evaluate. It will fill a niche as the first digital, longitudinal assessment to connect student performance across grades, both in and out of the classroom. Our objective is to get information on students'

weaknesses and strengths earlier so teachers can make adjustments to improve their chances of success. With digital delivery of the test, students would have automatic scoring and real-time assessments. (There would be pencil-and-paper testing to accommodate schools that would not be equipped with computers.) The assessment would include a combination of multiple-choice, open-response, and interactive items that would incorporate some creativity into testing. It would be both formative and summative for accountability purposes. The new system is "complementary" and "consistent" with PARCC and Smarter Balanced. PSAT: Grade 11 - The Preliminary SAT/National Merit Scholarship Qualifying Test (PSAT/NMSQT) is a program cosponsored by the College Board and National Merit Scholarship Corporation (NMSC). It's a standardized test that provides firsthand practice for the SAT®. It also gives the student a chance to enter NMSC scholarship programs and gain access to college and career planning tools. The PSAT/NMSQT measures: Critical reading skills Math problem-solving skills Writing skills

The most common reasons for students to take the PSAT/NMSQT are: Students receive feedback on their strengths and weaknesses regarding skills necessary for

college study. Our District will then focus our preparation on areas where students could most benefit from additional study or practice.

Students can see how their performance on an admissions test might compare with that of others applying to college.

Students can enter the competition for scholarships from NMSC (grade 11). Students can better prepare for the SAT by becoming familiar with the kinds of questions and

the exact directions they will see on the SAT. Students have the option to receive information from colleges when they check "yes" to

Student Search Service. Grade 11 – Accuplacer: Those students electing to not enroll in a mathematics course for their senior year would be required by the District to demonstrate college readiness in mathematics by successfully completing the Accuplacer test. Students who did not reach the required score would be required to enroll in a senior mathematics course (As per policy, a parent would have the ability to override.).

Model

District Academic Team: The District would form an academic team comprised of administrators, guidance personnel, and teachers to review the big picture data and identify areas for improvement. The academic team would make specific recommendations to the Guidance Department which would develop assessment interpretation sessions that would be based on student assessment scores based upon individual performance. Students who were deemed at risk as a result of their individual results would meet with their counselor one on one and if deemed appropriate, the counselor would refer the student to the building Response to Intervention (RTI) team. Guidance Results Interpretation Team: The District, grades eight through grade twelve, will provide an opportunity for students through an advisory period to review the big picture data and how that relates to student readiness for college and career. The Guidance Department will meet with all tenth and eleventh graders to set an individual course of action for each child. The District will also utilize cable television to offer information to parents as well as host a parent’s night to assist families with interpreting the scores. Data Assessment Incorporated in Evaluations: The District will establish a protocol in conjunction with our administrative and teacher groups which will be used to gauge performance. The agreed upon assessment program will be reflected in the evaluation and count for up to twenty percent of an administrator/teacher’s performance rating. Transition Check Points: The District has established a transition process from grade to grade and between each level. This process requires teacher’s and parent’s participation with regard to scheduling. Our local District data storage program allows data (all state and local assessments) to be tracked and utilized in the decision process. During these transition meetings, sending administrators, identify those students who may be considered at risk. These students are provided with support through the Guidance Department and, if needed, through supplemental support staff. Community Profile: This region was settled by Scotch-Irish settlers in 1719 at the encouragement of Massachusetts Governor Samuel Shute, when New Hampshire was still considered part of that colony. It was, at that time, known as Nutfield because of heavily wooded areas. In 1722, the township was incorporated as Londonderry, after the town in Ireland from where many of the settlers had come. At the time, Londonderry was the second-largest town in New Hampshire, and included all or part of Derry, Manchester, and Windham. Early Londonderry settlers spread out into surrounding villages, bringing Scottish and Irish names such as Antrim, Derry, and Dunbarton. Population Trends: Londonderry had the sixth largest percent change of all municipalities over the course of the last 50 years. Population change totaled 21,733, from 1,640 in 1950 to 23,373 in 2000. The largest decennial percent change was 154 percent between 1970 and 1980. The 2010 Census for Londonderry was 24,129 residents, which ranked tenth among New Hampshire's incorporated cities and towns. As a result of an increase in housing permits, we

expect our enrollment to grow by 400 students in the next three to five years. This growth will be compounded by the approval of a significant long term project (impact on schools projected six years out) which will change our community profile while increasing our student population. Enrollment: Please see appendix C for enrollment trends and projections Staffing: Londonderry has 438 professional staff, 183 assistants and 32 administrators to meet the educational needs of our community. Budget: The operating budget for fiscal year 14 is set at $66,060,667. This represents a 1% increase over the FY 13 budget ($65,407,261). The District for the last eight years has been operating at a default budget.

Appendix A– Supporting information for the High School Level These programs and accompanying write ups are intended to provide information that demonstrates the support systems in place in our District. These programs assist us in establishing the culture and environments needed for a student to be academically successful. These are intended to highlight various aspects of our school community but in no way are they all encompassing. NH Scholars Program: Fact Sheet NH Scholars is part of a State of New Hampshire initiative; a national program that incorporates business leaders to motivate students, beginning in grade 8, to complete a rigorous course of study in high school- one that will give them a boost in college and future careers. NH Scholars encourages and motivates all high school students to complete a rigorous course of study that prepares them for a successful transition to college coursework or technical training necessary to enter today’s competitive job market. NH Scholars gives students an edge- one that is of real value to them, the schools they attend, the companies they work for, and the communities they live in. Londonderry School District Participation: • Began in the 2011-2012 school year • Students and parents in grades 9-12 will be notified but need not apply. Current,

Londonderry High School students will be recognized in the spring of their senior year at awards program and graduation ceremony

• Students and parents of the Londonderry High School Class of 2016 will receive information about the NH Scholars program and be able to apply for inclusion in the program prior to entering high school. Formal program presentations will occur at grade 8 parent evenings, e-mail communications, and on the school district’s web site.

Benefits: • Advanced preparation for college • Learn decision making and critical thinking skills necessary for work • Training/mentoring from potential employers • Recognition as a State Scholar at high school graduation • Designation as a State Scholar on the high school transcript • Become a better candidate for certain types of scholarship and financial aid

Eligibility criteria: Eligible Londonderry High School NH Scholars courses (Must be taken at Londonderry High School in the 24 credit diploma program)

• Londonderry High School students must earn a minimum 3.00 cumulative grade point

average after seven high school semesters • Students must enroll in and successfully complete a minimum of 4 years of English, 3 years

of Mathematics, 3 lab based Science courses, 3.5 History and Social Science courses and 2 years of a Foreign Language in the same language

Adult Education Program: Londonderry Adult Education Program recognizes that a typical school day is not exclusively the way to meet the educational needs of all students. The Londonderry Adult Education Program provides an alternative path towards a high school diploma. This program employs various teaching methods to reach all learning styles in order to equip students with the tools necessary to achieve success. The Londonderry School District holds to the fundamental truth that all children are capable of achievement. The Londonderry Adult Education Program will serve two purposes. Students who wish to remain in our day program and earn the 24 credit Londonderry High School diploma may take night classes for credit recovery and apply those grades/credits to the day program. Students who seek a 20 credit Adult Education High School diploma, in consult with their parents, will withdraw from school and transfer into the Adult Education Program. These individuals will be night school students who will apply previous credits earned toward this diploma. Students / parents from Londonderry and surrounding towns will meet with program director to map out an academic course of action. Senior Project: Londonderry High School Senior Project The Senior Project allows a student the opportunity to pursue a topic or idea of their choice with the guidance of a mentor along the way. The Senior Project provides students the ability to embody the school’s mission statement as they truly function as a self-directed learner. This project offers a personalized learning experience where students showcase the talents and skills they have developed at Londonderry High School. Students focus on a passion they have and/or a question they are looking to explore and discover the answer to. The Senior Project is a 1 credit pass/fail course. Since this is a self-directed initiative there is flexibility within the project, although the following components are required for all senior projects:

1. MENTOR: Each student will need to select a mentor here at LHS. This can be any of the following adults that have volunteered to work on senior projects for this upcoming year. The mentor’s role is to support the student throughout this year long project. The student will need to meet with their mentor and set up a meeting schedule that works for both the mentor and the student (at least twice per month). During these meetings the student will share their progress with their mentor and the mentor will ensure the student is on track and will be able to guide the student along the way.

2. PROPOSAL: Once the student has a mentor, the student will need to meet with their

mentor and discuss potential senior project ideas. The student will need to complete a written proposal that has been approved by their mentor. This document will outline an area of interest, an over-arching question that the student will be exploring, an idea for an activity where the student will apply what they have learned, and a tentative timeline of how the student will accomplish this activity. Once you have crafted your proposal and it has been approved, you are free to begin the process of the senior project.

3. RESEARCH: As a student, you have spent many hours learning research skills and

through the senior project you will need to apply those skills as you act as a self-directed learner. You will need to produce a formal research paper during the first semester addressing your question and ultimately providing a foundation for your Applied Activity. The question you are answering will provide the focus, purpose and structure of your research. Along with meeting with your mentor, you will also need to meet regularly with one of the Library Media Specialists (Mrs. March, Mrs. Jackson, or Mrs. Campos) as they will support you throughout the research process.

4. APPLIED ACTIVITY: Once you have completed your research, you will need to plan

and conduct an activity related to your research that applies what you have learned. Think of this as the project piece of your senior project. This could be an in-depth community service or volunteering activity, job shadow or internship, a performance or creative project, or an end product, such as a rebuilt engine or art portfolio.

5. PORTFOLIO: The portfolio is the evidence that you have accomplished what you had

set out to achieve and also documents your journey from the beginning to the end product. In this portfolio, you will need to include:

• A log of time spent on your applied activity (mentor meetings, research, emails, etc.) with a minimum of 30 hours.

• A final reflection along with the mid-year reflection. The final reflection should show how you acted out Londonderry High School’s mission statement as you went through the senior project process and what you learned about yourself and the project throughout the year-long process.

• Your original proposal. • Your research paper. • Any other physical evidence that documents your activity (photos, videos,

materials created for the activity, etc.)

6. ROUNDTABLE AND SHOWCASE: the student’s last task is to bring closure to the Senior Project by sharing your work with others. This will be done first through the Roundtable Presentations that begin in May and then during the Monday of Senior Week there will be a Senior Project Showcase evening where the student will be recognized and given the opportunity to share their work with the community.

RUNNING START PROGRAM

The New Hampshire Project Running Start is an educational initiative for high school students in collaboration with the Community College System of New Hampshire. Currently, Londonderry High School is partnered with Manchester Community College (MCC) and New Hampshire Technical Institute (NHTI). This dual-enrollment program enables qualified high school students to earn college credit in select college level courses at their high school during the regular school day. Students who choose to enroll in the Running Start program receive high school credit as well as college credit for the course. College credits can be used to continue in the Community College System of New Hampshire or may be transferred to other colleges. Students pay a $150.00 fee to the Community College System of New Hampshire per course to enroll in the program. Students enrolled in Running Start courses at Londonderry High School are also considered part-time students of the college and are able to access many of the services at the college.

Running Start courses offered at LHS include:

Accounting I (ACCT113: Accounting I/MCC) Anatomy & Physiology (BIOL110: Anatomy & Physiology I/MCC) AP Computer Science (CIS148: JAVA Programming/MCC) Biotechnology (BIOL210: Microbiology/ MCC) Calculus (MATH204: Calculus I/MCC) Computer Maintenance & Repair I & II (CIS102: A+/Prep Hardware/MCC) Digital Electronics (EL115: Digital Electronics/NHTI) Exploring/Practicing the Art of Teaching (EDU104: Foundations of Education/MCC) Fundamentals of College Algebra (MATH131: Algebra Fundamentals/MCC) Honors Physics (PHYS135: College Physics I/MCC) Honors C++ Programming (CIS158: C# Programming/MCC) Honors Macroeconomics (ECON134: Macroeconomics/MCC) Introduction to Engineering Design (MC105: Engineering Design/NHTI) Marketing (MKTG125: Principles of Marketing/MCC) Principles of Engineering (MC110: Engineering Principles/NHTI) Visual Basic (CIS118: Visual Basic.Net Programming/MCC)

Dual Enrollment Program: Southern New Hampshire University (SNHU) in the High School is a dual enrollment program between SNHU and Londonderry High School which provides our students the opportunity to earn college credit while still enrolled at Londonderry High School. General information about the program is available at the SNHU website at www.snhu.edu/dual

Londonderry High School continues to pursue our goal of preparing students to be college and career ready, by offering students a series of rigorous college classes while still having the support of Londonderry High School. In each of the dual enrollment classrooms, students face two of the challenges every college freshman must confront. A rigorous curriculum coupled with the insecurity of being a freshman and not yet having achieved the comfort level to approach

professors when in need of assistance. By taking true college level courses while still at Londonderry High School, we provide students the opportunity to better understand the challenges of college academics while providing the scaffolding that the Londonderry High School students have come to expect.

The cost to students is $100 per 3 credit course. At the completion of the course, students request a transcript as they become non-degree students immediately upon the completion of the application, and as such, receive their 3 or more credits on a SNHU college transcript. They may then use this transcript to transfer these credits to the school they plan to attend. While each school’s requirements for accepting transfer credits varies, SNHU transfer credits have been accepted at colleges throughout the United States.

The Londonderry High School instructors teaching these courses have met SNHU Adjunct Faculty criteria and the curricula for the courses have been approved by the chairs of the respective undergraduate departments at SNHU.

When President Obama was speaking at the University of Buffalo on August 22, he mentioned SNHU by name. While he was speaking in particular about SNHU’s College for America Program, in the next sentence, he cited dual enrollment programs. This is the text of the speech from the White House.gov website:

“So let me talk about some alternatives that are already out there. Southern New Hampshire University gives course credit based on how well student master the material, not just on how many hours they spend in the classroom. So the idea would be if you’re learning the material faster, you can finish faster, which means you pay less and you save money. I went there, and they’ve partnered with local high schools and community college so that their students can show up at college and graduate in half the time because they’re already starting to get college credits while they’re in high school or while they’re in a two-year college, so by the time they get to a four-year college, they’re’ saving money.” Two hundred and twenty seven students have selected the dual credit option for the fall semester at Londonderry High School. This semester at Londonderry High School, we are offering to students enrolled in our Advanced Placement Spanish Language and Culture credit for SNHU’s LSP211, Intermediate Spanish I. Second semester these same students will have the opportunity to enroll in LSP 212, Intermediate Spanish II. Students enrolled in our Advanced Placement French Language and Culture have the opportunity to earn credit for SNHU’s LFR 211, Intermediate French I. Second semester, these same students will have the opportunity to enroll in LFR 212, Intermediate French II. We are offering two new English electives this year to align with SNHU English courses.

Our College Composition I is ENG 120 at SNHU and our Creative Writing is ENG 226, Introduction to Creative Writing at SNHU. . Second semester, in addition to the offerings above, students in our Parenting class will have the opportunity to earn credit for SNHU’s DEV 104, Child Development I. We are currently exploring even more opportunities for our students for next year. One of our current social studies instructors, Jim Choquette, is adjunct faculty at SNHU teaching GEO-200: World Geography. The course description for that course is:

This course examines the implications of global location and topography for the people of planet Earth. Students will explore how geography shapes the dynamics of human societies, with an emphasis on the geoenvironmental, geopolitical, and geosocial phenomena that help to define the modern world.

We are also investigating the possibility of offering MUS-211: Music Theory and Aural Skills I The course description for that course is:

Music Theory and Aural Skills I introduce students to the basic elements, materials, and structure of Western tonal music with an emphasis on harmony, voice leading, and counterpoint. Students will develop aural skills through sight singing, ear training, rhythmic reading, dictation, and part-singing.

There are a couple of other courses in our curriculum which we believe align with SNHU courses and, thus, we will be investigating those as possible additional options in the near future. Bridges Program Participating Institutions: Nashua Community College and Londonderry High School Description: Beginning in the 2005-2006 school year, Nashua Community College (NCC) and Londonderry High School (LHS) entered into an agreement which allows eligible Londonderry juniors (Class of 2006) to attend NCC during their senior year. There are two options for the eligible Londonderry student. Option one allows the Londonderry student to attend NCC full time, enrolled in courses on the Nashua campus. Students successfully completing these courses will receive LHS credit towards their high school diploma. If enrolled full time at NCC, Londonderry students will not be in attendance full time at LHS. Option two allows the Londonderry student to enroll in a class or two per semester at NCC and apply these credits towards their Londonderry High School diploma.

Eligibility: LHS students must complete a regular NCC application and submit their official LHS transcript, standardized testing scores and either one recommendation from their guidance counselor or two teacher recommendations. The NCC application fee is waived for these applicants. Upon receipt of the applications, admission representatives from NCC will interview all applicants at LHS in May of the student’s junior year. Admission decisions will be made prior to the conclusion of the school year and students have a June 30 deposit date to enroll in the program. Eligible Criteria: LHS students must be in “good standing” academically and be “on track” to graduate with their class. LHS students should have 18 credits and a minimum 2.5 cumulative grade point average at the conclusion of their junior year to qualify for this program. Credit: LHS students, upon successful completion of the NCC courses, will receive 1.00 credit per college course, which will be recorded on the LHS transcript and be applied towards any Londonderry graduation and credit requirements. Students must supply the Londonderry Guidance Director with a copy of their NCC report card to certify grades and credits to be reflected on the LHS transcript. For potential college credits, LHS students must achieve a grade of “C” or higher and abide by these steps to earn potential college credit at their college or university destination: • contact the NCC Registrar’s office • request that the “official” NCC course-work be sent to the college or university designated • pay NCC directly any fees required to send transcript • request letter from LHS Guidance Director to go to intended college or university explaining

the details of the “BRIDGES” program.

Please note that the college or university that the Londonderry student enrolls in will make the final decision on college credit. NCC and LHS officials will endeavor to advocate for any “BRIDGES” student needing further assistance at the college/university of enrollment upon graduation from Londonderry High School. Financial Aid: BRIDGES families are responsible for paying their own way. Calendar: The following timeline provides information and deadlines (all activities are conducted in the spring semester of junior year) • March- all LHS juniors and parents receive a letter on the program and “Bridges” is

publicized on the local access channel. In the letter, interested parents and juniors are invited to an evening session in April at LHS. An additional “school day” session may be made available to juniors in April as well.

• April- applications are distributed to all interested LHS juniors. • May- application due in Main Guidance on or about May 5 • May- interviews scheduled during the third week of May

Red Cord: Lancer Civic and Social Expectations Cord The community of Londonderry places great value beyond the prescribed curriculum and, thus, provides a host of co-curricular clubs and organizations that are intended to enhance the learning objectives while offering students an opportunity to work collaboratively in groups and cultivate their leadership potential. Londonderry High School has a process to identify and quantify these activities which if completed by a student will result in the awarding of a “red cord” at graduation. The red cord signifies that a student has participated and earned the required units. Lancer Civic and Social Expectations Cord Students at Londonderry High School give back to their school and community in many ways. This is the civic and social expectation for each member of “Lancer Nation”. These expectations are spelled out in our school Mission Statement. These efforts are recognized formally at graduation with the wearing of a red cord, signifying an exemplary level of involvement at LHS. Every student has an opportunity to earn the red cord. It is earned by collecting a total of 25 points by the spring of your senior year. Points are signed off by an advisor after a school-sanctioned activity. Examples would be after-school clubs and sport teams at any level. The student is responsible for keeping their point tally sheet (Lancer Nation Achievement Record) secure and updated year to year.

Appendix B – Supporting information Elementary and Middle School Level. These programs and accompanying write ups are intended to provide information that demonstrates the support systems in place in our District. These programs assist us in establishing the culture and environments needed for a student to be academically successful. These are intended to highlight various aspects of our school community but in no way are intended to be all encompassing. Professional Learning Communities (PLC - K-8) Over the past two years, the kindergarten and elementary schools have engaged in a practice called Professional Learning Communities or PLCs. This practice was implemented as a response to our designation as “Schools In Need of Improvement”. The elementary school data points to the fact that students with disabilities are not making needed progress. Our PLC teams have been meeting bi-weekly since September 2010 to identify essential learning goals, analyze assessment data and develop common formative assessments (CFAs) for these learning goals. The CFA is a quick quiz that is not graded, but used to group students by performance levels. This process ensures that every student will receive the supports and appropriate resources they need to re-learn, enrich or extend their learning. A District PLC Core Team, with members from each grade level from each school, has been working with a consultant to implement these practices. This summer, the teams received training in how to align their work with the Common Core State Standards and to continue their work with writing the common formative assessments. This year, South School implemented the next step in the process with WIN groups –WIN meaning What I Need. These are the reteach and enrichment groups developed based on the results of the CFA – or Common Formative Assessment. Students were assigned to smaller groups ranging from 12 to 15 students for a reteach or enrichment lesson – in others words – what they need or What I Need - WIN. The goal is to have all students master the 20 essential learning goals for each grade level – in other words, the guaranteed curriculum. We are very pleased about the students’ positive response to this process. Four crucial questions drive the work of the PLC: • What do we want each student to learn? • How will we know when each student has learned it? • How will we respond when a student experiences difficulty in learning? • How will we extend and enrich the learning for students who are already proficient? All professional staff members at South School belong to a grade level PLC Team. In September, all teams administered their first CFA of one learning goal. For instance, third grade focused on “distinguishing between fact and opinion”.

Elementary PBIS Program – Positive Behavior Interventions and Supports The three Londonderry elementary schools have adopted PBIS as their school-wide discipline program. PBIS means Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports. We did not do this because we had a big discipline problem. We implemented these strategies in an effort to increase uninterrupted instructional time. The program was first implemented at South School 8 years ago to better support children in the district’s emotionally and behaviorally disordered program called PFS or Program for Success. In order to improve the behavior of these children, we needed to bring up the behavior of the whole student population. PBIS is a nationally-recognized behavioral system that has been adopted in 3,000 schools across the United States. Though each of our three schools followed a different adoption cycle and has personalized the system to fit the culture of each school, we all follow the same basic tenants. We have developed a consistent approach to: 1) Prevent problem behavior 2) Respond to problem behavior At South School, RESPECT, RESPONSIBILITY, and SAFETY are words that dominate many classroom conversations. These words frame the common language that we use with students to recognize their efforts to make good choices and to define for students those moments when they have not followed the “School Expectations”. Matthew Thornton’s expectations are PAWS: P - Positive Attitude A - Act Responsibly W - Work and Play Safely S - Show Respect At North School, they follow: Bear’s Tracks for Success: Respect, Responsibility and Safety The backbone of the program in all three schools is the behavior matrix that identifies behavioral expectations for all areas in the school. The connection between uninterrupted instructional time and student behavior is that when students can transition quickly and quietly between activities and operate respectfully with each other, time is saved that would typically be spent on managing students. The more time that teachers can spend on meaningful instruction, the more our students have an opportunity to learn. Though each of our schools recognized immediate success in recapturing instructional time and a general improvement in respectfulness and responsiveness to others, we saw long-term effects as

well. Students who experienced PBIS expectations for all 5 of their elementary school years showed an ever-increasing ability to manage themselves and respond positively. This self-control can also be seen in the behavioral trends noted at the middle and high school, which are beginning to see a marked improvement in the number of discipline reports. Middle School - Resiliency 4 Life Program has been designed to teach your child important life skills. Over the past few years, the middle school counselors have collaborated with the Health and Computer teachers to conduct presentations during the initial first few weeks of 6th grade. Topics addressed included: conflict resolution, peer pressure, decision-making, refusal skills, and cyber bullying and bystander behavior. Throughout the year, these topics are addressed on a continual basis through initiatives like: Peer Mentoring, Big Buddy, Health and Wellness Club, Girls and Boys Respect. Middle School - More Than Words – now in its 23rd year - More Than Words event to focus on respect, bullying, and the power of words Londonderry, NH, [Date]– Londonderry Middle School’s 7th grade students will spend October 10th and 11th experiencing More Than Words, a program aimed at helping students show kindness to one another.

“Making good choices is an important part of everything in life. The choices that you make determine who you become as a human being.”

Londonderry will be bringing in Scott Backovich, a professional youth motivational speaker from California, to speak to students and adults on both days. Scott will address 7th grade students and their parents on October 10that 6:30pm and, then, will train student leaders on October 11th. Parents and 7th grade students are encouraged to participate.

Re: Facility Maintenance Funding Options

Last year on a 4-1 vote, the Board agreed to put a ten year bond article before the voters. The bond proceeds were to be used for several roofing and paving projects and some large renovation projects the District has delayed for many years. Unfortunately, the article failed to get the required 60% by 11 votes. Since we lowered the amount requested for the Maintenance Trust Fund in hopes of receiving the necessary votes for the bond, we fell further behind this year on necessary maintenance projects.

Because we came very close to the 60% threshold, we feel another attempt for a bond is warranted. Like last year, the majority of the funding will be for roofing and paving projects that have been delayed many years due to funding. Attached is a list of projects to be funded by bond proceeds. We cannot talk about using a bond for the many facility needs without also discussing the Maintenance Trust Fund. Below is a table that shows the adjusted funding request for the MTF if a bond is proposed and should pass this coming March.

As you can see, we would adjust the annual Maintenance Trust Fund so the total funds appropriated for facility maintenance is around $700,000 to $800,000. We feel once we have caught up on most of the larger projects, an annual appropriation of no less than $750,000 is necessary.

Finally, selling a bond requires substantial time from both staff and Board members. One reason is because of the long-term funding commitment, the other is the large amount – 4 million dollars. We will certainly work with the Board to provide the best communication possible to the community.

Re: Maintenance Projects

Attached is a list of district wide maintenance projects with a schedule that divides funding between a proposed bond and a multi-year maintenance trust fund plan. I have also added several pages that provide brief descriptions of each project.

The roofing and paving projects would be bid as packages but completed over 3 years to try to lock in pricing while at the same time planning the work to still allow maximum possible use of the buildings for activities during the summer.

Projects in the MTF have been grouped by category to try to obtain cost savings by providing a larger scope of work in a single calendar year to contractors who will be bidding. This can typically lower prices by spreading fixed overhead costs over a bigger project base. This applies to the emergency generators, asbestos removal, and boiler and HVAC equipment replacement.

We have spread out the MTF projects through FY23 to allow us to stay on schedule but avoid a sharp increase in the tax rate. In FY15 the MTF request would be $600,000 and then drop to $250,000 in FY16, the first year of a full bond payment. The MTF request would then gradually increase as the amount of the interest payment on the bond falls.

Maintenance Bond & MTF Project List MT Paving: Complete the Parking lot paving and reconstruction project that began in 2012 HS Replace Roof – connector halls (ACBM): replace the roof above the lobby area that connects the lobby to phase 1, phase 2 and the ramps. The existing roof was originally installed in 1976 and contains asbestos. A second layer of roofing membrane was installed in 1995. LMS Replace roof – classroom pod wing: Replace the roof over the classrooms and connectors at the rear of the school. This roof was installed in 1997 and has a 10 – 15 year expected life. LMS Replace roof – MPR & classrooms: Replace the roof over the multi-purpose room and surrounding classroom / office areas. This roof was installed in 1997 and has a 10 – 15 year expected life. A large section of this roof has already been repaired and the seams show signs that a catastrophic failure will occur soon. HS Replace roof – phase 4 & 6: Replace the roof above the phase 4 classrooms and hall and the phase 6 (original gym) classrooms. This roof was originally installed in 1978. A second layer of roofing membrane was installed in 1995. DO Emergency generator & transfer switch: Purchase and install an automatic stand-by natural gas fired emergency generator and a transfer switch to supply electrical power to the entire building. This will allow us to continue to operate the computer servers and the telephone system during a power outage. LMS Replace 2 boilers: Replace 2 cast iron boilers that were installed in 1981. These boilers were originally oil fired, and were converted to natural gas operation in 2005. The boilers have a 25 – 30 year expected life. There is a 3rd boiler that was installed in 1997 and still has an additional expected life of 10 – 15 years. LMS Paving – front parking lot: Reconstruct the front parking lot with additional drainage and all new pavement. This is the original parking lot and pavement that was installed when the school was built in 1982. MT Replace windows and wall panels in gym: The windows and Kalwall panels were installed during a renovation in 1985. The windows are aluminum lightweight panes, and the Kalwall has an expected life of 20 – 25 years. There are signs that the insulation has deteriorated and the panels are leaking. This will lead to moisture problems with the surrounding drywall. HS Generator: Purchase and install an automatic stand-by natural gas fired emergency generator to supply electric power to the boilers, hot water pumps, walk-in cooler & freezer, and the computer servers.

MHS Roof Replacement: Replace the membrane roof on the entire building. The roof was installed in 2001. It is a single ply membrane with an expected life of 10 – 15 years. HS Overcoat roof – gym and phase 5: Repair the seams and apply a protective coating to the existing membrane roof. These roofs were installed in 2003 and have an expected life of 10 -15 years. The coating will provide us with an additional 10 year warranty at about 1/5 the cost of total replacement HS Replace H&V units – phase 1: We will replace the original 4 heating and ventilation units that were installed in the basement in 1972. The new units will be set on the roof and connected with existing ductwork. They will have energy economizer and heat recovery modes. HS Replace 2 boilers: Replace the 2 C.B. tube boilers with 3 cast iron sectional boilers. The existing boilers were installed in 1991 and have a 25 year expected life. The new boilers will be staged and have a modulating firing rate for maximum efficiency. MT Renovate connecting corridor bathrooms: These bathrooms were originally installed in 1963. The renovations would include new fixtures, lighting, exhaust and wall coverings. This project also includes a new staff bathroom in an existing storage area in the west end of the hall. DW Field and spectator area improvements: Replace most of the bleachers on the east end of the lighted game field and the press box, and relocate and construct a new concession stand with bathrooms. The existing bleachers and press box and more than 30 years old and will probably need to be closed within the next few years. The concession stand was built by volunteers 30 + years ago and has structural & mechanical issues. MT Replace gym floor: The floor is original from the early 1960’s and contains asbestos. The new floor will be a hard surface appropriate for school and community activities. MT Replace hall carpet with VCT: The carpet in the north & south wings was installed as an encapsulate over asbestos tiles. New vinyl composite tiles will be installed in a pattern similar to the ones in the connecting corridor and the 1985 wing. MT Asbestos removal – pipe fittings: There are about 3 dozen asbestos pipe coverings above the ceiling in the north wing. An abatement project will take place in this area in conjunction with the removal of the asbestos floor tiles in the halls and gym. HS Food service renovations: The LHS kitchen will be renovated to provide a more efficient serving line and better food prep for the new menus. A masonry wall will be removed, electrical work performed, new access to the cafeteria, and relocation of existing food service equipment.

MT Lighting Upgrades: Original light fixtures from the 1960’s will be replaced in classrooms in the north & south wings and the connecting corridor. The new fixtures will be energy efficient and have better light rendering, similar to the classroom additions and North & South Schools. MT Generator: Install a transfer switch in the main electrical room and a connection panel on the west end of the building. Purchase a trailer mounted 30 kw generator that can be used at MT as well as other locations. MT A/C for library: Install a mechanical cooling unit with ductwork and energy saving economizer system, similar to the ones in place at North & South Schools. MT Carpet replacement (classrooms): Replace carpet in 12 classrooms so catch up and be on the same replacement schedule as North & South Schools. MT Renovate front lobby bathrooms: This project includes a complete teardown and enlargement and renovation of the front lobby bathrooms. These bathrooms are nearly 50 years old and have had only minor cosmetic improvements in the past. LMS Install VCT tiles of halls of the 1997 addition: Replace the existing carpet with vinyl composite floor tiles similar to the work that has been completed in the original 1982 building. HS Replace H&V unit Phase 2: Replace the original rooftop unit that was installed in 1976. The new unit will be energy efficient with an economizer and a heat recovery wheel. HS Renovate Phase 1 bathrooms: The 4 main bathrooms in phase 1 are original from 1971. We plan to remove the asbestos floor tile, install new wall panels and replace the fixtures, lighting and exhaust fans. HS Replace roof – Phase 1: This section of the original 1971 building was re-roofed in 1995, and was over coated in 2007 with a 10 year warranty. The roof will need to be removed to the steel deck, and new insulation and a coal tar roof installed. LMS A/C for Library: Install a mechanical cooling unit with new ductwork and economizer system similar to the ones in place at North & South Schools. LMS Paving – side parking lot & fire road: Repave these areas (installed in 1997) with a topcoat at about the 20 year mark, before they require extensive reconstruction. LMS Replace generator: Replace the original generator that was installed in 1982 with a larger, natural gas fired unit and transfer switch to operate the heating system, lighting, and kitchen refrigeration. MHS New Paving: Pave an area on the west side of the building that is used by staff. Also construct a new turnaround and drop off area on the east side for mini buses.

Memo

To: Londonderry School Board

From: Nate Greenberg


Re: ROOM UTILIZATION, ENROLLMENT AND CAPACITY

This memo is divided into multiple parts. The first section is a summary including capacity factors, present

room utilization by school including current enrollment, school capacity with current room utilization and

maximum capacity with reorganized room utilization. A second section details current room utilization and

reconfigured room utilization for maximum capacity at each school and/or other adjustments to accommodate

increased enrollment. The third section includes floor plans of our schools. The fourth section includes our

October 1, 2013, enrollment, a copy of the recent enrollment history and projections for FY15, and residential

projects/enrollment projections.

I. Capacity Factors

Kindergarten – utilizes an average class size at 18

Grades 1-5 – utilizes an average class size of 23

Grades 6-8 – utilizes an average team size of 125 students (average class size of 25)

High School – utilizes average class size ranges of 18-24; room utilization rate (85% - 90%), student

course request success rates (no less than 94% - current 97.3%)

Maintaining all in-house low incident SPED programs (cost savings this year of $7,500,000 and a

cumulative ten year cost savings through FY15 of $52,000,000)

Maintain tech-rich classrooms at the High School

Maintain variety of course offerings at the High School

Utilization of classroom space for art and music at elementary levels

*Depending on student enrollment at specific grade level(s), may require an additional team or the creation of

super teams

**Depending on student distribution may require additional staff

***Requires additional staff

It is critically important to note that maximum capacity at each of the elementary schools is predicated on an

even distribution of students. For example, 4 classes at an elementary grade level with a class size of 23 would

yield an enrollment of 92 students, if 10 students were to be added to that grade level, the total enrollment

would be 102, yielding a class size of 25.5, thus requiring another teacher – class size would then be 20.4

students, reducing the total operating capacity of the school by thirteen students. Too, capacity could also be

impacted by the number of students requiring additional instruction, i.e. special education, reading, math, etc.

Thus, necessitating the conversion of a classroom for small group instruction, thus, reducing yet again the

capacity of a given school.

3

The numbers would seem to indicate (all things being equal), that the elementary level could absorb an

additional 153 students with its present room utilization configuration and a total of an additional 383 students

with major room configuration as detailed in section two of this report. However, as with many things, there

are factors that can impact that number as the example in the previous paragraph indicated. It is also important

to note that depending on what elementary district(s), the growth occurs, capacity could be impacted and would

require at least as a first step redistricting, to enable equality of programs across the elementary level and in the

not-so-distant future an additional school or additions to one or more schools, and/or grade level

reconfiguration.

It should also be noted that as we go through this school year, we are reviewing the locations of our elementary

district-wide special education programs which would have an impact on capacity at the elementary schools.

The impact would not be a major reduction factor as far as total elementary capacity is concerned.

Lastly, in reference to the aforementioned possibility of redistricting, it appears from the information we shared

with the Board from the Planning Department that short-term significant growth is predicted in the north end of

town. The exact impact on North School is not known at this point, but said growth has the possibility of

significantly impacting that school, and depending on the pace of enrollment and ages of the students arising

from those developments, could precipitate at least the contemplation of redistricting and/or room re-utilization.

At the Middle School, our current enrollment is 1,084 with the students grouped into ten teams. There are three

teams in the sixth grade, three teams in the seventh grade and four teams in the eighth grade, with respective

average class sizes of twenty-three, twenty-two and twenty. We could accommodate an increase of 166

students without violating the average class size of twenty-five and without absorbing additional classrooms

“if” the students came in at the right grade levels. To expect that to occur is more of a dream than a reality.

Thus, to accommodate a maximum enrollment of 1,250 and to maintain programs and services and stay at the

class size target, we would (depending on enrollment in a particular grade), have to create an additional team or

one or more super teams. This action would necessitate the reclaiming of two to four classrooms as identified

in section two of the report.

At the High School, our current enrollment is 1,626 students. We could accommodate an additional 74 students

(mostly sophomores, juniors and seniors) with minimum impact on space, room capacity rate and preferred

course selections. We believe due to the current level of services and room utilization that the maximum

capacity at the High School is 1,800 students; which is an increase of 174 students. That occupancy rate should

yield a room utilization rate of 89.6% (85% considered ideal) and a course request success rate of 94%; both of

which are excellent.

In conclusion, the capacity for schools is driven by programs, services and space. As with all things in the real

world, there are factors such as those above that alter the simple math of determining occupancy (services,

programs, class sizes, distribution of pupils, etc.). Too, an influx of students in one section of town can

overload a particular school; while school capacity is acceptable at one or two of the other schools, thus

necessitating either redistricting or construction depending on future projections.

th grades and 4 teams in the 8

th

grade. Class sizes are an average 23 in 6th, 22 in 7

th, and 20.15 in 8

th grade. Please note due to course

offerings, choice of foreign language, related arts, etc., average class size will vary.

If a new infusion of students arrived at the appropriate grade levels, no additional (reclaimed rooms)

would be needed to generate an average class size of 25 students. However, the chances of that

happening are slim.

Thus, depending on the enrollment at a particular level, it might require us to add a team or create

“super teams”. To create the necessary classrooms, the following would occur:

One (1) New Team (4 classrooms)

The four classrooms would come from the group of 10 listed previously most likely the two (2)

classrooms used for Foreign Language and two (2) of the three (3) Reading classrooms.

Super Teams (2-4 classrooms)

The creation of super teams would be dictated by enrollment numbers up to possibly four (4)

classrooms (depending on enrollment). The needed classrooms would come from the group

identified above.

High School

The High School has one hundred one (101 classrooms). They are utilized as follows:

Fifty (50) Classrooms

Fourteen (14) Science Rooms

Three (3) Art Rooms

8

One (1) Gym

One (1) School Store

Nine (9) SPED Rooms

One (1) Video Room

Room occupancy rate is 80.47%, regular classroom occupancy rate is 81.77% (suggested maximum

occupancy rate is 85%)

Please note over the last five years, we have utilized a number of classrooms to provide additional

services/programs for students. They are as follows:

School Store

Video Lab

Six (6) Rooms adapted for tech-rich (reducing versatility)

Increased special ed in-house programs.

In addition, we are utilizing seven (7) half size rooms for:

One (1) GED Room

One (1) Computer Repair Room

Four (4) SPED Instruction Spaces

One (1) Lancer Lab

Presently, we schedule for 1626 students; generating 23,142 student course requests, 97.3% or 22,517

of the requests were granted.

Maximum Capacity: 1,800

At 1,800 students, we could maintain the designation of the rooms as they presently exist. The room

utilization rate would to 89.6%, slightly above the ideal 85% rate. A number of teachers (depending on

the subject/department) would no longer have their own room and would have to “travel” for pat of the

day. A condensing of some sections would also take place (i.e. less sections of a given subject).

Please also note that the number of student course requests that would be accommodated would go

from 97.3% to 94% (which is still a very good success rate).

Please note, with present room configuration going to a population of 1,900; room utilization rates

would rise to 95% and 2,000 students would raise the utilization rate to 99.6%. The result would be a

significant drop in requests granted.

In summary, 1,800 students would allow us to maintain our programs and present room designations

with minor dislocation of staff and a completely acceptable room utilization rate and course request

rate.
