SUPERINTENDENT’S REPORT

Superintendent Maguire shared information on the MN legislative session and how Osseo Area Schools will be impacted. Legislative leaders held public education as a priority; the end result is a slight, less than inflation, increase in the basic formula. Maguire reported this is not enough of an increase to maintain current people, quality of programing and class sizes that our District is used to; which means the request for additional local revenue through a levy request next fall will be critically important. Secondly, Maguire reported due to legislative changes our District will be able to provide full day Kindergarten for the 2014-2015 school year. Additionally, new legislative language related to developing the work force will require MN schools to focus more resources on the persistent and unacceptable gaps between Caucasian students and students of color. Kate Maguire shared the great news that Park Center Senior High has increased the graduation rate of black students by 22% over the past five years, the highest rate of increase of any high school in MN with at least 50 black students in the graduating cohort. Superintendent Kate Maguire reported that work has begun on the information campaign regarding two school funding requests that will be on the ballot in November. The operating levy will continue progress in increasing student achievement and avoid significant budget cuts for the 2014-2015 school year. The technology levy is for the purchase, installing and maintaining of software and to improve technology for school instruction.

SCHOOL BOARD REPORTS

Director Teresa Lunt reported the following from the May 13, 2013 Property Committee Meeting: The property committee of the school board met on Monday, May 13, 2013.

attending were Superintendent Kate Maguire, General Counsel Margaret Westin along with student observers. The committee reviewed the revision of Policy 423: Employee-Student Relationships and Policy 419: Tobacco-Free Environment and recommended them for First Reading at the May 21, 2013 School Board meeting. In addition, the Board discussed potential requirements of training for school district volunteers. The next Policy Committee meeting is scheduled for September 10, 2013. Director Teresa Lunt reported the following from the May 21, 2013 School Board Work Session: At this evening’s School Board Work Session, the Board heard information about the Teacher and Principal Growth and Evaluation Systems. Recent changes in Minnesota statute define specific requirements for both teacher and principal evaluation. Although Osseo Area Schools has had teacher and principal evaluation systems in place, new legislation mandates new requirements. Superintendent Kate Maguire designated a district team to attend training workshops throughout the year hosted by the Minnesota Department of Education. Members of this district team worked with other stakeholders to lead the development and revision process in order to ensure that the teacher and principal evaluation systems met District interest and mandates required in statute. The Board began the work session by learning about the status of the Teacher Growth and Evaluation System that will be implemented during the 2014-15 school year. Members from four different sub-committees shared the work that has been done throughout the year to ensure that the new required components where added to the existing plan. Board members also learned about the status of the Principal Growth and Evaluation System. The process was developed collaboratively with principals and District administrators. The new system will be implemented next year with lead principals.

RE: Contract for School-Linked Mental Health Services

Please find the attached proposed contract for services for People Incorporated to extend the School-Linked Mental Health Services provided to school district students at district schools. These services are provided at no cost to the district since People, Inc. bill the student’s private insurance and MA for covered services.

People, Inc. therapists have been able to provide services to underinsured and non-insured students as well as consult with counselors, teachers and other school personnel through a grant from Hennepin County. This grant is coming to a close after three years. There is a possibility of another grant becoming available but not in time to provide uninterrupted services to Osseo students. The purpose of the contract is to defray costs incurred by People, Inc. in providing services to students until such time as funds from the next grant become available. In the event that another grant does not become available in a reasonable time frame or People, Inc. are not awarded the grant, the services of People, Inc. therapists will either be renegotiated or come to a close at the end of December 2013. The School-Linked Mental Health program provides on-site mental health services to students who would otherwise not be able to access these services in the community, and offers a wide range of comprehensive mental health services. During the tenure of the grant a total of 376 students were served.

Some of the goals of the mental health services are to keep issues from affecting emotional, intellectual, and/or physical development, improve school performance and personal relationships with family and friends, increase classroom attentiveness and positive peer association and provide interventions that are sensitive to student/family culture. In addition to the services counselors and social workers provide in our schools, these therapeutic services are a critical component of the continuum of services we are able to offer to our students and families.

Please do not hesitate to contact me if you have any questions regarding the attached contract.

ISD 279 Board of Education From: Dale Carlstrom, Director of Facilities and Transportation Operations Re: Bid Award Exterior Wall Rehabilitation ISD 279 conducted a sealed bid opening on May 28, 2013 for exterior wall rehabilitation at Edinbrook Elementary. Bids were received from four contractors with the combined bids ranging from a high of $248,900 to the low of $217,303. The approved project budget is $221,000. The design engineers have had a good working relationship and positive outcomes with Building Restoration Corporation, the apparent low bidder. Inspec has found Building Restoration Corporation to be the low responsive, responsible bidder and recommend that ISD 279 award the exterior wall rehabilitation accordingly. The Inspec recommendation and bid tabulation are attached. Administration recommends that the ISD 279 school board approve that award of exterior wall rehabilitation to Sunrise Specialty Contractors for a total of $217,303.

Re: ATPPS (Alternative Teacher Professional Pay System)/Q Comp

Action Item:

Approval of 2012-2013 Q Comp MDE Annual Report and Continuation of the ISD 279 Alternative Teacher Professional Pay System (ATPPS) for 2013-2014 – Judy McDonald

This year marks the completion of our seventh year of implementation for the Alternative Teacher Professional Pay System (ATPPS). The Alternative Teacher Professional Pay System is a rigorous teacher performance and appraisal system that includes multiple components all focused on the professional growth of teachers and the resulting positive impact to student learning.

Osseo Area Schools is currently the largest Minnesota school district to participate in the Q Comp program. Our ATPPS system is supported through funding from the state and is regarded by MDE as a ‘model’ system that has been shared on multiple occasions with other Minnesota school districts. Our plan also closely aligns with the new legislative requirements regarding teacher performance and appraisal that will be in effect starting with the 2014/2015 school year. However, for next school year no modifications of the current system will be required.

Each year we are required to submit a report to the Minnesota Department of Education and to reach mutual agreement between the School Board and Education Minnesota – Osseo to continue the plan for the upcoming school year. The report serves a dual purpose: It serves as the MDE required annual report and it serves as a quality measurement tool for ongoing assessment and improvement of our program.

Attached to this memorandum is the Q Comp Annual Report for your review. We have been notified that Education Minnesota –Osseo members voted on May 7th and 8th and an overwhelming majority voted to continue the plan for the seventh year.

Enter date presented to the school board: June 4, 2013Enter districe name: Osseo Area SchoolsEnter district number: 279How has the Q Comp program helped the district: The Q Comp program has helped close achievement gaps between various student populations. We set student learning goals with our PLC and use the data team process to specifically hone in on those students who are proficient, close to proficient, far to go but likely and intervention. By analyzing specific learning groups and research based instructional practices we are able to identify who and which group is making adequate progress. Our district also is creating transformation system change to ensure equitable student achievement by having courageous conversations, seeking diverse perspectives and initiating culturally responsive instructional practices to ensure equitable gains.How has the Q Comp program improved: Classroom instruction has improved due to the Q Comp program. All staff receives performance feedback a minimum of three times a year. These observations provide staff members the opportunity for deep reflection and conversations with an instructional coach focused on student learning, instructional practices and professional growth to improve student achievement. Q Comp has created a new norm for professional conversation district wide with the 8 day cognitive coaching training all instructional coaches participated in. Our coaches provide consistent delivery of feedback, resources, and professional development across the school district. Q Comp provides individual, small group, and building wide support to all our licensed staff. Through Q Comp implementation we have engaged over 1,550 teachers to change their focus from teaching to learning. Data shows growth and collaboration. Teachers are trying different strategies and collecting data on these strategies. How has the Q Comp program improved student: Q Comp has improved student achievement within the district. There is more teacher dialogue and collaboration regarding classroom instruction with grades, departments, and across schools. Conversations continue to dissect amongst Q Comp components and collaborative PLC/Data Teams. The alignment between site goals, student learning goals, professional growth plans and the work of PLC/Data Team is tight. Competitiveness and the acceptance of low results are fading as our increased sense of commitment to ALL kids in ALL buildings becomes a core value for ALL employees.Percentage of all licensed staff earned vertical movement: 99.8%=1526/1528percentage of all licensed staff in district: 99.8%=1525/1528Percentage of all licensed staff in the district earned performance pay for observations/evaluations: 99.8%=1525/1528Percentage of all licensed staff member: 100%Percentage of licensed staff at each school site (organizational unit) in the district: All sites were 100% with the exception of:1 curriculum specialist2 teachers at Basswood3 teachers at ParkbrookPercentage of probationary licensed staff earned vertical movement: 100%Percentage of tenured licensed staff annual teacher observations/evaluations: 99.8%=1525/1528Percentage of tenured licensed staff earned vertical movement: 99.8%=1526/1528Ppercentage of probationary licensed staffannual teacher observations/evaluations: 100%School sites that did not meet goals: NoneSchool sites that met goals: All school sites in the Osseo Area Schools met the schoolwide student achievement goal.What changes to make the district Q Comp more effective closing achievement gaps: We need to continue having courageous conversations. All staff members need to be trained in "Beyond Diversity". Building leaders need to promote an environment of equity by educating staff members through literature groups including the following texts: Courageous Conversations, Culturally and Linguistically Responsive Teaching and Learning, and The Grace of Silence to name a few. We are just starting our journey and need to keep it on the forefront by recruiting and hiring staff members that reflect the student body we serve.What changes to make the district Q Comp more effective student achievement: We need to incorporate PLC/Data Team time during the work day across all sites in our school district. Some sites have done so successfully, but it needs to become the norm and not the exception. We also need to continue our work with student self-assessments and common formative assessments. If students are able to articulate what they know, what they don't know and what helps them learn, we will be able to improve student achievement.What changes to make the district Q Comp more effectiveclassroom instruction: Teachers need more time creating and selecting common formative and summative assessments. Teachers also need additional time to align standards with their curriculum, curriculum mapping, selecting research based instruction and interventions that meet the needs of children in their classroom. We also need to articulate vertically across the district. Do the elementary teachers know what the junior high teachers are expecting, and so on.What other impact has implementing Q Comp had on teaching: Classroom instruction has improved due to the Q Comp program. All staff receives performance feedback a minimum of three times a year. These observations provide staff members the opportunity for deep reflection and conversations with an instructional coach focused on student learning, instructional practices and professional growth to improve student achievement. Q Comp has created a new norm for professional conversation district wide with the 8 day cognitive coaching training all instructional coaches participated in.
