Return on Investments for 2012-2013
(Is anyone better off?)
$112,000 for Assistant Principal for THS
$30,000 for Grade 9 Learning Center
Design and implement the THS 9th grade academy which: providesa smoother transition for students from TMS to THS; allows
teachers and counselors a greater opportunity to develop a positiverelationship with students; diminishes the number of incidences ofmisbehavior that result in suspension or expulsion, and makesavailable a better process to monitor student academic progressand provide intervention where and when needed;
Results: Fewer students failing courses, fewer over-aged, undercredited students with potential to drop out of school which leadsto increased costs for social services since the potential fordropouts for future success is very limited.

Impact of mandates to TPS
Due to strong local autonomy of Boards of Education,
implementation of mandates left up to districts
Funding rarely attached since response to mandates can
vary dramatically Virtually all mandates require time, resources, and staffing to
implement but exact plans vary from district to district
Can be done with existing staff at low cost but require
time Can be done with off-the-shelf products but at a
higher cost
