Asheboro City Schools 2014–15 Read to Achieve Grade 3 End-of-Year Results

G.S. §115C-83.10 requires “each local board of education to publish annually on a Web site maintained by that local school administrative unit and to report in writing to the State Board of Education (SBE) by September 1 of each year the following information on the prior school year:”

Note: The denominator for calculating the required percentages for Rows 1, 2, and 3 is all students in membership at grade 3 for the first day of spring testing.

Number of Students

Percentage

1 Demonstrated reading proficiency on the Beginning-of-Grade 3 (BOG3) ELA/Reading

Assessment, the End-of-Grade (EOG) ELA/Reading Assessment, or the EOG ELA/Reading Retest (i.e., scored Level 3 or higher).

165 45.2%

2 Did not demonstrate reading proficiency on the BOG3 ELA/Reading Assessment, the EOG ELA/Reading Assessment, or the EOG ELA/Reading Retest. 200 54.8%

3 The number and percentage of students exempt from mandatory retention in third grade for good cause. Students may be counted in this category only once. 28 7.7%

The denominator for Row 4 is the number of students from Row 2 minus the number of students from Row 3.

4 The number and percentage of students who took and passed an alternative assessment approved by the State Board of Education (SBE) (i.e., Read to Achieve Test or locally determined SBE-approved alternative assessment). Students may be counted in the numerator and/or the denominator only once for this category.

103 59.9%

The denominator for Row 5 is all students in membership at grade 3 for the first day of spring testing. 5 Total number and percentage of students retained for not demonstrating reading

proficiency on third-grade standards. (For 2014-15, students who are not proficient will be either: [1] retained in a third grade accelerated class, [2] placed in a third/fourth transition class with a retained label, or [3] placed in a fourth-grade accelerated class with a retained reading label.)

69 18.9%

The denominator for Row 6 is the number of retained students recorded in number 5.

6 Charter Schools Only: Charter schools must indicate the number and percentage of retained students recorded in number 5 who do not return to the charter school for 2015–16.

Note: Privacy laws dictate that for fewer than 5 students, the specific number and percentage should not be given. Therefore, if the number is fewer than 10 students, schools should use an asterisk (*) to represent fewer than 5 students and the percentage. An * indicates that the student population number and percentage is too small to report the value. The percentage and number of students are not shown if the percentage is greater than 95 percent (>95) or less than 5 percent (<5).

NEW IMMUNIZATION AND HEALTH REQUIREMENTS FOR SCHOOL ADMISSION Policy Code: 4110

BOARD OF EDUCATION POLICY MANUAL Page 1

The board of education requires all students to meet the eligibility requirements for school admission established by the State and the board, including immunization. The school will maintain on file immunization and health assessment records for all students, and these records may be inspected by officials of the county or state health departments. Each school principal shall file required reports with the Department of Health and Human Services and the Department of Public Instruction. A. IMMUNIZATION

1. Requirements for Initial Entry

Within 30 calendar days of his or her first day of attendance in the school system, each student must show evidence of age-appropriate vaccination in accordance with state law and regulation, including the following vaccines as applicable:

a. DTaP (diphtheria, tetanus, and pertussis); b. poliomyelitis (polio); c. measles (rubeola); d. rubella (German measles); e. mumps; f. Haemophilus influenzae, type b (Hib); g. hepatitis B; h. varicella (chickenpox); and i. any other vaccine as may be required by law or regulation.

The current required vaccination schedule is available from the N.C. Immunization Branch online at http://www.immunize.nc.gov/.

2. Additional Requirements

All students entering seventh grade or who have reached age 12, whichever

Policy Code: 4110


comes first, are required to receive the following:

a. a booster dose of Tdap (tetanus, diphtheria, and pertussis vaccine), if they have not previously received it; and

b. the meningococcal conjugate vaccine (MCV).

3. Certificate of Immunization

a. Evidence of immunizations must be shown in the form of a certificate furnished by a licensed physician or by the health department. A student who received immunizations in a state other than North Carolina must present an official certificate that meets the immunizations requirements of G.S. 130A-154(b).

b. Principals are required to refuse admittance to any child whose parent or guardian does not present a medical certification of proper immunizations within the allotted time. If, following approved medical practice, the administration of a vaccine requires more than 30 calendar days to complete, upon certification of this fact by a physician, additional days may be allowed in order to obtain the required immunizations.

c. Exceptions to the immunization requirements will be made only for religious reasons or for medical reasons approved by a physician physician pursuant to state law and regulation.

B. HEALTH ASSESSMENT/VISION SCREENING

Within 30 calendar days of the first day of school entry, all kindergarten students must furnish to the principal a document indicating that the student has received a health assessment pursuant to G.S. 130A-440. The assessment must include a medical history and physical examination with screening for vision and hearing and, if appropriate, testing for anemia and tuberculosis. The health assessment must be conducted no more than 12 months prior to the date of school entry. Exceptions to the health assessment requirement will be made only for religious reasons. Vision screening must comply with the vision screening standards adopted by the former Governor’s Commission on Early Childhood Vision Care. Within 180 days of the start of the school year, the parent of the child must present to the principal or his or her designee certification that within the past 12 months, the child has obtained a

Policy Code: 4110


comprehensive eye examination performed by an ophthalmologist or optometrist or has obtained a vision screening conducted by a licensed physician, an optometrist, a physician assistant, a nurse practitioner, a registered nurse, an orthoptist, or a vision screener certified by Prevent Blindness North Carolina. If a child enters the first grade without having been enrolled in a kindergarten program requiring a vision screening, the screening is required at that point. Children who receive and fail to pass the required vision screening must obtain a comprehensive eye exam conducted by a duly licensed optometrist or ophthalmologist. The provider of the exam shall present to the parent a signed transmittal form, which the parent must submit to the school. If a member of the school staff has reason to believe that a child enrolled in kindergarten through third grade is having problems with vision, the staff member may recommend to the child’s parent that the child have a comprehensive eye examination. No child will be excluded from attending school for a parent’s failure to obtain a comprehensive eye exam. If a parent fails or refuses to obtain a comprehensive eye exam or to provide the certification of a comprehensive eye exam, school officials shall send a written reminder to the parent of required eye exams.

C. HOMELESS STUDENTS

Notwithstanding the provisions of this policy, admissions for homeless students shall not be prohibited or delayed due to the student’s inability to provide documentation of immunizations or health assessments. The homeless liaison shall work with the student, parent/guardian, school personnel or other agencies to obtain documentation of immunization and/or the health assessment or to arrange for such immunizations and/or assessments in a timely manner.

D. CHILDREN OF MILITARY FAMILIES

The board acknowledges that immunization requirements for newly enrolling military children are governed by the Interstate Compact on Educational Opportunity for Military Children. Children of military families, as defined in policy 4050, Children of Military Families, will have 30 days from the date of enrollment or within such time as reasonably determined by the rules of the Interstate Commission to obtain any required immunization. For a series of immunizations, initial vaccinations must be obtained within 30 days or within such time as is reasonably determined under the Interstate Commission.

Policies for Action


SCHOOL CALENDAR AND TIME FOR LEARNING Policy Code: 3300 The board believes that time is a variable in the educational process and that children may need different amounts of instructional time in order to fulfill the educational goals and objectives of the board. The board also recognizes that the school day and school year should be planned in such a manner as to facilitate student learning and to permit an accurate assessment of student achievement in scheduled testing periods. A. INSTRUCTIONAL TIME

Interruptions of instructional time and time off task must be kept to a minimum. The principal is responsible for ensuring that instructional time is maintained and protected in the school schedule. Each teacher is responsible for ensuring optimal use of instructional time in his or her classes. School personnel are encouraged to seek creative means of reducing transitional time and scheduling non-instructional activities. A proposal for alternative scheduling of classes or other such strategies may be a part of a school improvement plan.

B. SCHOOL DAY

The length of the school day may vary from school to school. The “instructional” day includes only those hours a student is assigned to a teacher for the primary purpose of instruction. Breaks in the instructional day for changing classes, homeroom, lunch, pep rallies and similar non-instructional activities are not part of the instructional day and may not be counted towards the minimum instructional hours requirement established in Section D, below.

C. OPENING AND CLOSING DATES

Except for year-round schools or schools operating under a modified calendar, the opening date for students will be no earlier than the Monday closest to August 26, and the closing date for students will be no later than the Friday closest to June 11. The school board may offer supplemental or additional educational programs or activities outside the adopted school calendar. Upon a showing of good cause, as defined by G.S. 115C-84.2(d), the board will seek a waiver of the opening dates from the State Board of Education. The board will revise the closing date only if necessary to comply with the minimum requirements for instructional days or instructional time.

D. SCHOOL CALENDAR

The school calendar in all schools will be for 215 days and will provide for a minimum of 185 days or 1025 hours of instruction covering at least nine months. A school “month” is defined as 20 days of instruction. If school is closed early due to inclement weather, the

Policy Code: 3300


day and the number of instructional hours originally scheduled may count towards the required minimum number of instructional days or hours. As funding permits, the board may pursue increasing the number of instructional hours or days, at least for those students who need more time to learn the curriculum.

The board may initiate or review recommendations from the superintendent or a school improvement team for modifying the traditional school calendar to a year-round calendar. The superintendent and individual schools are encouraged to obtain input from teachers and other personnel as well as from the community in developing proposals for modifying the school calendar. A year-round school may be included as a part of a school improvement plan. Any calendar adopted by the board will be consistent with the following requirements.

1. The calendar will consist of 215 days and shall meet state requirements for the

minimum instructional days and/or the minimum instructional hours.

2. At least 10 of the days on the calendar will be designated as annual vacation leave days.

3. The calendar will include the same or an equivalent number of legal holidays as

those designated by the State Personnel Commission for State employees, including Veteran’s Day if it falls on a weekday.

4. Schools will not be scheduled on Sundays. 5. The total number of workdays for teachers employed for a 10-month term will not

exceed 195 days.

6. The Calendar will designate “instructional” days when students must be present.

7. The remaining days will be scheduled by the board, in consultation with school principals, as “flexible” days, for use as teacher workdays, additional instructional days or other lawful purposes. Before scheduling these “flexible” days, each principal shall work with the school improvement team to determine the days to be scheduled and the purposes for which they should be scheduled.

8. Of the 10 “flexible” days described in subsection D.7, the board will designate at

least two days as protected days on which teachers may take accumulated vacation leave. All other “flexible” days may be designated as days on which teachers may take accumulated leave, but the board will give teachers at least 14 calendar days’ notice before requiring a teacher to work instead of taking vacation leave on any of these days. A teacher may elect to waive this notice requirement for one or more of these days.

9. The board may, due to school closings because of inclement weather or other

Policy Code: 3300


reasons, use any of the “flexible” days designated in subsection D.7 above as make-up days for those instructional days that were missed. If necessary, these make-up days may be scheduled after the last day of student attendance. If either of the two protected days described in subsection D.8 above are scheduled as a make-up day, teachers may take accumulated vacation leave on the make-up day and will not be required to work.

10. If the school calendar requires students to attend on Memorial Day, each principal shall ensure that the significance of Memorial Day is recognized in the school on that day. If students are not scheduled to attend school on Memorial Day, recognition of the significance of Memorial Day will be provided at another time as part of the citizenship curriculum (see policy 3530, Citizenship and Character Education).

11. If the school calendar requires students to attend school on September 17, which is Constitution and Citizenship Day, each principal shall ensure that the signing of the United States Constitution is commemorated in the school on that day. If students are not required to attend school on September 17, the principal shall ensure that Constitution and Citizenship Day is commemorated during the preceding or following week (see policy 3530, Citizenship and Character Education).

In addition, sex offenders subject to G.S. 14-208.18 may not attend or be present at any student function or field trip on or off school property that is (1) school-sponsored or (2) otherwise under the official supervision or control of school personnel. This policy applies to all covered sex offenders regardless of their relationship to or affiliation with a student in the school system. (Refer to the North Carolina Attorney General’s publication The North Carolina Sex Offender & Public Protection Registration Program, p.13, for a description of which offenders are subject to G.S. 14-208.18 and thus, this policy.)

B. ENFORCEMENT

All school personnel must immediately report to a school administrator the presence or suspected presence of a known or suspected registered sex offender on school property. School administrators and other supervisory personnel shall report to the superintendent and law enforcement when they reasonably believe that a registered sex offender is or has been on school property or at a school event. School administrators also shall notify the superintendent or designee of any known student or parent or guardian of a student at their school who is suspected to be a registered sex offender.

C. EXCEPTIONS

A person who is banned from school property under G.S. 14-208.18 may be on school property only under the following circumstances. 1. Students

Students who are subject to G.S. 14-208.18 may be on school property only in

Policy Code: 5022

2. Voters

Voters who are subject to G.S. 14-208.18 and are eligible to vote may be present on school property for the sole purpose of voting if the school property is being used as a voting place. The voter must notify the principal of the school that he or she is registered under the Registry Program and the voter must remain at all times in the portion of the school being used as the polling place. The voter must leave school grounds immediately after voting.

3. Parents or Guardians

a. An individual who is subject to this policy and is the parent or guardian of a student enrolled in school may be on school property only for the following reasons:

1) to attend a scheduled conference with school personnel to discuss

the child’s academic or social progress; or 2) at the request of the principal or designee, for any reason relating

to the welfare or transportation of his or her child.

b. For each visit authorized by the principal in accordance with subsection (a) above, the parent or guardian must provide the principal with prior written notice of his or her registration on the Sex Offender Registry and notice of his or her presence at school. Notice of his or her presence at school includes the nature and specific times of the visit.

c. For each visit authorized by subsection (a) above, the parent or guardian

must arrange to meet a staff member at the edge of school property, check in at the principal’s office upon arrival and departure, and remain under the direct supervision of school personnel at all times. If school personnel are not available to supervise the parent or guardian during any visit, then the parent or guardian will not be permitted to enter or remain on school property.

d. For each visit authorized by subsection (a) above, the parent or guardian

must comply with all reasonable rules and restrictions placed upon him or her by the principal, including restrictions on the date, time, location, and length of meeting.

D. CONTRACTUAL PERSONNEL

In order to ensure compliance with this policy, each contract executed by the board must include a provision that requires the other party to the contract to conduct an annual

Policy Code: 5022


check of the State Sex Offender and Public Protection Program and the State Sexually Violent Predator Registration Program on all employees who may be sent to perform tasks on or deliver products to school property. Persons who are subject to section A of this policy may not be sent onto school property for any reason. In addition, each time the board enters into any contract or agreement for contracted services that involve direct interaction with children, the contract must include a provision that requires the other party to the contract to conduct an annual check of the National Sex Offender Registry on all contracted employees who may have direct contact with children. No contractor or employee of a contractor registered with the State Sex Offender and Public Protection Program, the State Sexually Violent Predator Program, or the National Sex Offender Registry may have direct interaction with children. This provision applies to contracts with a single individual.

RELATIONSHIP WITH OTHER GOVERNMENTAL AGENCIES Policy Code: 5100 Productive working relationships with other governmental agencies are critical to the school district’s efforts to provide safe, orderly and inviting learning environments in which students can succeed in the educational program. These relationships are also necessary to coordinate services so various governmental agencies can strive to meet the needs of students in an efficient and effective manner. School administrators are expected to develop and maintain productive working relationships with other governmental agencies. Any contracts or specific agreements regarding working relationships with other governmental agencies must be approved by the board. Legal References: G.S. 115C-36, -47 Adopted: April 9, 1998 to become effective July 1, 1998


RELATIONSHIP WITH COUNTY COMMISSIONERS Policy Code: 5110 The board strives for a productive working relationship with the board of county commissioners so that sufficient funding is provided to meet the educational goals that the board has established for the school system. The board will seek opportunities to inform the county commissioners about the needs of the school system through capital outlay plans, the annual budget and other documents and reports the board deems necessary. The board welcomes periodic joint meetings between the boards as a means of strengthening the relationship with the board of county commissioners, clarifying expectations regarding the budget process, and educating the commissioners on the needs of the school system. The superintendent shall develop a productive working relationship with the county manager. The superintendent is encouraged to initiate periodic meetings with key administrative personnel of the school system and county government. Legal References: G.S. 115C-36, -47, -426, -427 Adopted: April 9, 1998 to become effective July 1, 1998


COLLECTIONS AND SOLICITATIONS Policy Code: 5220 The board is committed to minimizing disruptions to instructional time and the educational environment. Collections and solicitations are discouraged and shall not disrupt instructional time. Employees and students shall not be required to contribute or respond to any collection or solicitation.

BOARD OF EDUCATION GOALS 2015-16

STRATEGIC GOAL: By 2016, 90 percent or more of Asheboro City Schools’ students will graduate with the skills needed as 21st century learners, workers, and citizens.

STRATEGIC OBJECTIVES:

1. Engage each student A. Teach the standards through the lens of the 4 C’s (Critical Thinking, Collaboration,

Communication, and Creativity) using innovative teaching practices with community partner engagement.

● Eighteen teachers from the three secondary schools are participating in the Literacy Design Collaborative and Math Design Collaborative with the Southern Regional Education Board (SREB). SREB is also training IFs and 2 district coaches to support the teachers in implementing the rigorous and innovative teaching practices.

B. Implement global awareness recommendations.

C. Evaluate and engage in strategic problem solving and coaching support to strengthen Positive

Behavior Instructional Support implementation at each school. ● A survey will be conducted (September 2015) to assess current training needs. This data

will be used in conjunction with 2014-15 implementation data to determine a training plan for the current year.

D. Implement district-wide program to prevent bullying.

● Staff trainings have occurred at Asheboro High School, Balfour, Charles W. McCrary, Donna Lee Loflin, and South Asheboro Middle. Trainings at the other schools have been scheduled and will be completed before the end of September.

Government and School Buildings.

F. Provide professional development on digital teaching and learning as directed from the Asheboro City Schools Professional Development Needs Survey.

G. Implement support for the new learning management system, Canvas, in Grades 4-12 for

students and for all staff.

2. Assess for learning A. Align the core curriculum with state testing specifications and implement systematic progress

monitoring system (Benchmark Analysis, PEP process, Data Discussions, EVAAS, etc.)

B. Encourage and support school based data driven strategies to inform instruction and intervention.

● Preliminary data from 2014-2015 was shared with schools at the Administrative Leadership Retreat on July 20, 2015, with a focus on continuous improvement goal setting and data analysis.

● The North Carolina Department of Public Instruction released the 2014-2015 READY Assessment Data and results on the Federal Annual Measurable Objectives on September 2.

● School Leadership Teams are analyzing data and developing annual goals on their Continuous Improvement Plans.

3. Improve achievement

A. Utilize the Asheboro City Schools’ Literacy Plan as a road map to improve writing K-12.

B. Expand implementation of Letterland as a consistent phonics instructional approach in pre-kindergarten and kindergarten classrooms at each school site.

C. Expand Reading Foundations professional development to secondary level teachers to increase

reading content knowledge and enhance instructional skills as funding is available. ● Reading Foundations is being offered to a cohort of secondary teachers during the 2015-

16 school year. First session was August 18, 2015.

D. Develop and expand opportunities for students to recover and enrich learning beyond regular school hours.

● Asheboro City Schools’ STEAM Camp was held in July at NC Zoo. ● Health Science Academy Orientation Week began on August 10, 2015.

E. Increase opportunities for students to earn college credits and industry credentials.

● We have added a Workplace Readiness credential for our students to earn through our Career Management course at Asheboro High School beginning with the 2015-16 school year. This credential indicates students’ level of competence in soft skills that are critical for success in today’s workplace.

F. Develop district-wide implementation plan for Multi-Tiered System of Supports [MTSS] by

assessing current implementation, readiness, developing timelines, coaching supports, professional development plans, and other district supports in order to ensure schools can implement with fidelity.

● District coach/coordinators have been identified and coordinate planning efforts with the district instructional team. Current efforts are focused on assessing district capacity and readiness.

4. Create opportunities

A. Increase opportunities for parental involvement through resources and events. ● We are developing a partnership with A&T University to create parent education

modules with the Instructional Facilitators that will be delivered to parents throughout the year at the elementary schools.

B. Provide opportunities for stakeholder engagement and improved communication through

social media, digital communications, and community partner events.

C. Actively seek partnerships with the community, industry, and institutions of higher education to create opportunities for students.

5. Build capacity

The following awards will be presented during the 2015 NCSBA Annual Conference slated for November 16-18 at the Koury Convention Center in Greensboro.

• Raleigh Dingman Award - The Raleigh Dingman Award is the highest honor bestowed on a North Carolina school board member each year and is named in honor of Raleigh Dingman, NCSBA’s first full-time executive secretary. Since 2003, recipients of this honor have served as an ex-officio member of the NC State Board of Education and the NCSBA Board of Directors. The honoree will be expected to attend meetings of both organizations.

• County Commissioners of the Year - This honor is presented to a board of county commissioners that has demonstrated extraordinary leadership that advances student achievement in the district.

• School Board Member Leadership Award – This honor recognizes a school board member who has demonstrated extraordinary leadership during the 2014-2015 school year. Unlike the Raleigh Dingman Award that focuses on longevity and requires the honoree to attend NCSBA and SBE board meetings, the Leadership Award for School Board Member considers the contributions of a board member over the previous school year.

• School Board Leadership Award - This honor is presented to one school board for extraordinary leadership during the 2014-2015 school year.

• Award for Excellence in Educational Programs - This award will be given to school boards in recognition of exemplary education programs that maximize student achievement.

• Award for Excellence in Architectural Design - The NCSBA Award for Excellence in Architectural Design is a People’s Choice Award that will be given to architects for the building design of public schools. The goal is to raise awareness and discussion among board members about the relationship between good design and effective teaching and learning. NCSBA will invite architectural firms to submit exemplary projects that will promote this goal. Voting for this award will be held at the NCSBA Annual Conference.
