Springfield Public Schools Annual Report

2017-2018 About This Report

The Springfield Public School District is fully committed to open, two-way communication with staff, parents of our students, and all citizens who are concerned about education. Our continuing commitment to meet that goal is the reason for this, and previous annual reports.

This annual profile of our district has been produced every year since 1986, and was expanded in 1996 to meet state public reporting requirements for all school districts in Missouri at that time. The report includes student enrollment numbers, attendance figures, and high school dropout rates. Also included are data about the amount of state and federal aid received by our district and the number of students who qualified for free and reduced lunches. In addition, tax information and statistics about teaching and administrative staff, average salaries earned, and percent with advanced degrees are also provided for individual school buildings within the district.

out.

Missouri School Improvement Program (MSIP) 5

View 2017-2018 MSIP5 results for Springfield Public Schools Click Here Missouri first established standards for classifying and accrediting public school districts in 1950, but the process took on greater significance when the State Board of Education adopted new classification standards in 1990 and implemented the Missouri School Improvement Program (MSIP). Since that time, Missouri has moved through four phases of MSIP and is in the process of adopting standards for the fifth iteration. DESE has been working on revisions for MSIP5 for a number of years; however, recently the work has been shaped and influenced by reforms happening across the country, including common core, state standards, next generation assessments, and Race to the Top initiatives at the federal level. Additionally, the Missouri Department of Elementary and Secondary Education’s “10 by 20” plan—which aims to move Missouri into the top 10 states in all areas ranked by the U.S. Department of Education in the “State of States in Education” report by the year 2020—shares a natural relationship with MSIP5. Even with recent reforms, the overarching categories of accountability are set to remain the same. MSIP5 consists of five key standards:

Academic Achievement

Sub-group Achievement

College and Career Readiness

Attendance Rate

Graduation Rate

Major changes between 4th Cycle MSIP and MSIP 5 fall within the standards of assessment and college and career readiness. Four end-of-course (EOC) high school assessments were required for graduates in 2016. College and career readiness will be assessed based on the percent of students meeting the state standards for results on college/career indicators (e.g., ACT, SAT, and ASVAB scores) student participation and performance in rigorous high school course work, and appropriate college or career placement within six months from their graduation date.

SPRINGFIELD PUBLIC SCHOOLS ACCOUNTABILITY PROCESS

Educational reform efforts over the past decade have highlighted the need for public education to produce and showcase quantifiable results on tests and other measures of achievement. Research literature indicates that educational performance is heightened when individuals understand what is to be measured and why. Such a process is commonly referred to as “accountability.” An accountability process that measures progress is a good thing, but it cannot be an end unto itself—it must result in improvements. Research indicates customers of educational systems are interested in how students and schools are performing and improving and finding out what promotes student learning.

The accountability goal of the Springfield Public School District is to systematically set goals, define strategies to reach those goals, and monitor progress in achieving goals. The commitment of Springfield Public Schools to continuous improvement is reflected in the accountability process. A comprehensive accountability process provides continuous feedback to help school leaders systematically investigate which elements help school professionals and students perform more effectively.

The school district has three focus areas:

1. Student Success and Learning Support 2. Empowered and Effective Teachers, Leaders, and Support Personnel 3. Operational Efficiency

The district has also identified performance indicators critical to meeting district goals, which are embedded within each of the aforementioned focus areas. These indicators help the district know what must be done to be considered successful by the public it serves. To accomplish this end, performance measurements have been established to ensure expectations are met. The performance measurements ensure the district commitment to continuous improvement.

EARLY CHILDHOOD SPECIAL EDUCATION EDUCATIONAL ENVIRONMENTS

The information below represents the total number of children in early childhood education who received special education services during the 2017-2018 school year. In December of 2006 the Office of Special Education Programs (OSEP) made changes to data collection requirements for children with disabilities in Early Childhood Special Education (ECSE). The ECSE program now reports the “total educational environment” for each identified child in the program. Following is the listing of educational environments and codes which are used in state reporting. (These educational environments do not replace the placement decisions that are made by the IEP team and documented on the IEP).
