our number one priority is stuDent aChievement

We believe that in the process of learning, students need support from teachers and other adults based on the student’s needs and experiences, and the difficulty of the task. We recognize that

children learn and master knowledge and skills at different rates and through differentiated instruc-tional strategies as they progress through school. Through a partnership with the teacher and staff, the parent, and the student, it is our goal to help every child learn the knowledge and skills essential for success in school and life. Our district offers a wide variety of programs and services to successfully meet the needs of our students:

Assessment & Alternative Education Services - responsible for all district-wide assessments and test-ing protocol as well as state/district/building report card data. This office also provides services that include intervention programs for at-risk students, home school approvals, educational options, and post-secondary options for those students who wish to challenge themselves.

Curriculum & Instruction Services - responsible for course of study development and textbook adoptions in all curricular areas (English Language Arts, Mathematics, Science, Social Studies, For-eign Language, Visual & Performing Arts, Technology, Health, and Physical Education), instruc-tional strategies and teacher professional development to improve student achievement. This also includes our International Baccalaureate Programme (a two-year international curriculum with a goal to provide students with the skills and attitudes necessary for success in higher education and employment); our Magnet School Program (schools of choice for students entering grades 1 - 5 at

Artwork by Keri GarrettWalnut Springs Middle SchoolJo Yarano, Instructor

Emerson, Hanby, Central College and Longfellow, and grades 1 and 2 at Robert Frost); and our Career-Technical Educational Program (16 career fields/groups of occupations and broad industries based on common characteristics).

Educational Options for Success (EOS) - responsible for meeting the educational needs of students who have been expelled, are over age and under-credited, and who have dropped out or are consider-ing dropping out of school. Since the inception of this alternative high school program in February 2000, EOS has served more than 800 students and helped facilitate the graduation of more than 65 percent of these students.

English as a Second Language (ESL) - responsible for offering ESL classes for approximately 1,200 students with limited English proficiency. Pupils in this program come from more than 80 countries and speak some 70 languages. Qualifying students, upon enrolling in the district, are evaluated to determine the level of support needed.

Gifted Education - responsible for identifying and working to meet the needs of our gifted students by developing, delivering and encouraging ability-appropriate academic challenges as well as social/emotional support for the student.

Special Education - responsible for meeting the academic needs of students identified as disabled and requiring special education services. Twelve percent of Westerville’s students have disabilities (a figure consistent with school districts across Ohio) and represent a diverse range of socio-economic and ethnic membership; of cognitive potential, from gifted to severely impaired; and type of disability, from individuals adversely affected by speech errors, to individuals with traumatic brain injury. We continue to search for the best intervention strategies to use with all children, including children with disabilities, and our goal is that we will increasingly graduate students who are ready to continue a lifetime of learning and the highest level of individual independence possible. Early identification and intervention are critical to closing the gap reflected above.

Westerville City Schools employed 1,701 individuals as of August 30, 2010. That number in-cludes 1,031 teachers, 595 classified staff and 75 administrators. The Westerville City School

District uses an online application process for all positions, which is accessible 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Last year, the district received 2,246 employment applications through this system.

Many members of our staff and school community were recognized for exemplary service, including district GEM award winners Aleithra Ball, Dr. Scott Ebbrecht, Elizabeth McLaughlin-Krile, Lynne Maslowski, and Sue Tenney. The Westerville Parent Council and Roush Honda sponsor this pro-gram. In addition, Amy Miller and Carolyn Moseman were recognized at the 26th annual All Ohio Counselor’s Conference. Shawn Dawson, assistant transportation manager, was lauded for his work with special needs pupils by the Ohio Association of Supervisors and Coordinators for Exception-al Students. Dr. Chris Wanner, retired chief of administrative services/assistant superintendent, received the President’s Award from the Westerville Education Association. The Westerville City Schools Treasurer’s Department earned a Certificate of Achievement for Excellence in Financial Reporting from the Government Finance Officers Association and a Certificate of Excellence in Financial Reporting from the International ASBO. Greg Viebranz, executive director of communi-cations and technology, earned a national Golden Achievement Award from the National School

Public Relations Association (NSPRA) for the district’s comprehensive communications plan. Lynne Maslowski, community engagement coordinator, earned a Best of the Best award, two Mark of Dis-tinction awards and one Mark of Excellence award for Electronic Publication Photography from the Ohio Chapter of NSPRA. Matt Davis, visual communications coordinator, earned an NSPRA/Ohio Mark of Excellence award for the Communiqué, the district’s monthly staff newsletter.

All employees and volunteers played an important role in preparing our students for the future. Their efforts were met with success when it was announced in August 2009 that Westerville City Schools earned an Excellent rating on the State Report Card. Better news came in August 2010 when the district was informed that it met 25 of 26 state indicators on the 2010 State Report Card and earned the rating of “Excellent with Distinction,” the highest designation awarded by the Ohio Department of Education. The district also earned a Performance Index score of 100.8, which is up from last year’s score of 99.9 and the highest score achieved by the district since the Performance Index was implemented in 2000-01. Westerville City Schools met Adequate Yearly Progress (AYP) requirements for three consecutive years and its Value Added Rating over that same three-year period has been designated as “Above.” This means that students have demonstrated academic growth that exceeds state-level growth expectations.

our goal: Community, parents, stuDents anD staff are engageD as partners in eDuCation

Corporate and individual involvement plays an important role in public education. Part-nerships enrich instruction and keep businesses and organizations in touch with young

people. In 2009-2010, Westerville students and community members joined forces for the betterment of all.

Westerville City Schools collaborated with OhioHealth to launch a centralized Enrollment •and Family Resource Center. This center, which opened on June 1, 2009, processes all new registrations and required district-level reporting. It also offers resources and additional support for families. The Westerville City Schools Enrollment and Family Resource Center is located on the third floor of the OhioHealth Westerville Medical Campus. The address is 300 Polaris Parkway, Suite 3200, Westerville, OH 43082. OhioHealth donated a portion of its new building to the district for just $1 per year.

Business representatives, parents and educators comprised the Westerville Area Chamber •of Commerce Education Committee, which met monthly to work jointly on projects that benefit both the schools and community. In 2009-2010, the group organized student mentorship programs and conducted job/career fairs at each district high school, implemented the WeLEARN Initiative, hosted the Laws of Life Essay Competition and The Principal for the Day Experience, as well as managed the Adopt-a-School program, which connects schools and local businesses in mutually-beneficial partnerships.

Library Link is a service to the Westerville school community provided through the •Outreach Department of the Westerville Public Library. Library Link makes Westerville Library materials easily accessible to students and staff by providing daily delivery and pick-up service for all school buildings in the Westerville District. More than 15,000 items are delivered each year. The year 2010 marks the 10th anniversary of this valuable partnership that provides Westerville Library resources to benefit the students and teachers in Westerville classrooms.

Fourteen casual Coffee and Conversation meetings, hosted by Westerville City Schools •Superintendent Dan Good, were held in various locations throughout the district in 2009-2010 for the purpose of giving parents and community members the opportunity to chat in a relaxed and informal setting. The well-received gatherings were attended by about 90 individuals.

The Westerville Education Foundation hosted its second annual Mini-Golf Fundraiser •at the Westerville Mini-Golf & Batting Cages on May 15, 2010. Nationwide Children’s Hospital Westerville Close to Home Center was the presenting partner of this family-oriented event.

Volunteers continued to enhance opportunities for students by donating thousands of •hours. Linda Ferguson, who works in several schools, received a Friend of Education award from the Westerville Education Association.

our goal: learning anD Working environments are safe, nurturing anD effiCient

Westerville Schools have implemented a number of programs that promote safety, enhance learning, and provide a continuum of service from prevention through intervention,

communication, and family support. They include:

The School Resource Officers (SRO) program, which places police officers in the middle and high •schools in an effort to create and maintain a safe learning environment. Our SRO’s fulfill three roles – as law enforcement officers, law-related counselors, and law-related education facilitators. SROs have an instructional curriculum that is aligned with Ohio State Standards.

Parent Education, a prevention-based initiative that provides opportunities for parents to learn, •improve, and practice skills which have demonstrated a positive impact on students’ academic success and healthy lifestyle choices. These programs include, but are not limited to, “Parents On Board” for parents of children ages 4-14; “Active Parenting Now” a skill-focused program for parents of 5-12 year olds; and “Active Parenting of Teens” a 12 ½ hour workshop delivered over a series of six weeks. Quarterly workshops are offered on a range of topics including preparing for the school year, healthy habits, and family communication.

A series of parent-based support programs and workshops, which are held throughout the year. •In collaboration with the Westerville Parent Council, the Department of Community Relations sponsored Jim Bisenius, who has worked with Westerville Schools for several years to bring our school community helpful information regarding violence prevention through his training

called “Bully-Proofing Youth.” In collaboration with the Westerville City Schools’ Curriculum Department, Marsha Greenfeld and Mavis Sanders, Ph.D., both from The National Network of Partnership Schools/Johns Hopkins University, provided workshops for staff and community members on family engagement to enhance student achievement. The ESL Department worked in partnership with Family Education to provide monthly Latino family meetings and Somali Mother meetings.

CPR/Automated External Defibrillator classes. In collaboration with the Westerville Division •of Fire and the Genoa Township Fire Department, Westerville City Schools offered three courses that resulted in 65 certifications during the 2009-2010 school year.

A steady flow of information from the Office of Communications and Technology Services, •which keeps internal and external publics informed about Westerville City Schools’ students, staff, programs and initiatives. We strive to effectively research, recommend and integrate the use of technology in all aspects of the academic program and district operations. The office is responsible for all information technology equipment, operations, support and maintenance within the district. This includes all servers, desktop computers, laptops, printers, infrastructure (such as routers, switches, and the Wide Area Network), e-mail and testing and deploying various software programs used throughout the district. We also support other district offices through a series of services that include integrating computer systems and negotiating/managing information technology related contracts.

CharaCter eDuCation benefits Community

The Westerville Way is an effort to support and nurture the shared virtues of our community. Adults are encouraged to model and reinforce ethical behavior in relation

to the following 12 monthly words: respect, citizenship, tolerance, caring, attitude, honesty, perseverance, trustworthiness, responsibility, integrity, loyalty, and fairness. Students in every Westerville school participated in countless projects benefiting the environment, the underprivileged and those stricken with illness. In 2009-2010 the local, national, and global community benefited from the energy, enthusiasm, intelligence, generosity, and creativity of students, staff, parents and community members in Westerville.

Despite the challenging economy, high school pupils raised $49,170 for the Westerville •Caring & Sharing program. Middle schools pitched in with donations of money, food, toys, and toiletries. At the elementary level, our youngest students joined forces to collect and donate canned goods, non-perishable items, money, toiletries, gloves, mittens, hats, and scarves. Families in need were given gifts, boxes of food, and gift certificates.

Westerville’s elementary and middle school students jumped enough ropes and shot •enough basketballs to earn $32,055 for the American Heart Association.

The Westerville City Schools 2009-2010 United Way Campaign resulted in donations of •more than $10,000 from some 150 employees.

695 students from all three Westerville high schools, along with 36 faculty members •and 118 adult community volunteers, participated in Challenge Day, a workshop which encourages open and honest dialog about issues of violence, racism, teasing, stereotypes and alienation. This powerful, fun, and life-examining experience was designed to create hope, foster communication, and end isolation at school, home, and in the community.

The Westerville Education Foundation, the Westerville Symphony, and the Westerville •Chamber Foundation split approximately $21,000 thanks to the efforts of volunteers who participated in the tenth annual Westerville Community Bowl-a-Thon.

270 student representatives in grades 3-5 attended the third annual Elementary Leadership •Summit for the purpose of developing their leadership skills and formulating community service projects.

Genoa Middle School raised $10,032.23 for the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society’s Pennies •for Patients charity.

During the 2009-2010 school year, Westerville students contributed $347,718 in hours •of service, donated goods and fundraising to support community needs. For these efforts, Westerville City Schools was recognized with an Excellence in Service award by the LEAGUE, a national youth service organization that empowers America’s youth to make a positive difference in their communities. 2009-2010 Ohio State Service Awards were given to teams at Mark Twain and Emerson by the LEAGUE Northeast Ohio. At the national level, Westerville City Schools took second place in the Top Small School District’s category. At the individual school level, Emerson was sixth, and Westerville North was 10th.

It takes hard work and dedication on the part of many individu-als to serve the needs of some 15,000 students in the Westerville

School District. In addition to being educated, students must be transported, fed, and sheltered in a safe and clean environment.

Our fleet of 130 school buses transports more than 8,000 •students each day. We provide transportation services for our 23 public schools, plus 23 non-public schools and four career centers. Per the most recent report from the Ohio Department of Education, Westerville City Schools’ cost per assigned bus is 25% below the state average, and our maintenance cost per bus is 32% below the state average. In addition, Westerville’s Transportation Department was recognized as one of the Top 40 Green Fleets in North America.

Food Service Operations served more than 661,529 lunches •and 295,104 breakfasts during the 2009-2010 school year. They also provided over 700,000 meal equivalents (ala carte breakfast and lunch items) in the middle and high schools. The district’s free/reduced rate is 27.6% (approx. 3,640 stu-dents). The department accepted over $267,835 in 9,163

debit/credit card payment transactions made through EZPay in addition to traditional forms of payment. Grants were secured to conduct Parent Academy workshops, which pro-vided an opportunity for the Food Service department to partner with schools to educate students, parents, and staff on how school lunch menus are planned.

In 2010, the Custodial Department continued its quest to be •the benchmark for providing a clean and safe environment for students, staff, and visitors at Westerville City Schools. The bi-monthly newsletter, The Custodial Zone, is in its eighth year of publication. The Leadership Training class and the Custodial Training 101 class has attracted interest from other districts that want to emulate Westerville’s practices. Integrat-ed Pest Management continues to keep our schools free from pesticides using methods that are environmentally friendly.

On May 5, 2009, Westerville School District voters approved •a Capital Improvements Renewal Levy, which enables us to provide a healthier and more productive learning environ-ment for students and staff. Facilities are being maintained

and teachers are being provided with resources and tools to support learning through the replacement of textbooks, technology, and instructional materials. Some of the physi-cal improvements completed or in progress over the summer of 2010 included partial roof replacement at Cherrington, McVay, Wilder, North and South; partial HVAC replacement at Heritage, North and South; building envelope repairs at 13 locations; chimney removal at Hanby, Hawthorne, Long-fellow, Pointview and Whittier; window and door replace-ment at Longfellow; fire alarm upgrades at North and South; Farmhouse renovation; South boys’ locker room renovation; South field-house renovation and addition; salt shed replace-ment; Transportation Building replacement; Blendon media center renovation; conversion of woodshop to classroom at Blendon; conversion of storage area to classroom at Emer-son; North Land Lab replacement; site paving repairs district-wide; expansion of parking lots at Huber Ridge and McVay; replacement of 15 school buses; and computer replacements at Blendon, Heritage and Walnut Springs.

Cost avoidance of $1.598 million was realized in the third •year of the Energy Conservation Program (calendar year 2009). Additional savings of over $15,000 were netted by fa-cilitating the correction of a billing error for natural gas. Spe-cial activities included participation in the Westerville Solar Tour and development of an energy classroom presentation to augment the science curriculum.

Grateful officials continue their work to develop goals and action plans that specify how each school and the district will ac-complish yet higher achievement for all students.
