The following is a July 26 mem-orandum from Collier County Su-perintendent of Schools Kamela Patton to the school board mem-bers. The text is from the Collier County Schools website.

The Florida Department of Ed-ucation (DOE) has released the 2013 school grades for elemen-tary and middle schools across the state.

High school grades will be released later in the school year as 50 percent of the high school grade is comprised of non-FCAT components.

As Commissioner Tony Ben-nett stated in a conference call earlier in July, “The school ac-countability system has been overly nuanced, with the num-ber of changing variables.” There have been 39 changes in three years. Bennett went on to state, “These grades are not a result of students doing worse, and rather they are indicative of maintaining the trend to higher standards as

Schools strive for higher standards

by Patty BrantImmokalee Bulletin

The elderly are some of the most vulnerable members of society. According to Supervisor of the Victim and Senior Advocacy Unit of the Collier County Sheriff ’s Offi ce Angela Larson, they make up 27 percent of Collier County residents. With the Baby Boomers coming on strong, that number is only increasing.

The Victim and Senior Advocacy Unit is a civilian unit with the sheriff ’s offi ce tasked with educating elders on identity theft, scams and so on, along with working with the elders and their caregivers to keep them safe.

The unit carries out programs including:- Senior Connections, whose members call

on seniors who live alone once each day dur-ing the week and respond to calls for welfare checks;

- Project Life Saver. This project supplies

radio frequency transmitter bracelets for Al-zheimer’s patients and those with dementia. The team also is available to respond to situa-tions concerning children with autism.

Sometimes the elderly wander away from caregivers. When a 911 call comes in to dis-patch about an elderly person who has wan-dered away, these bracelets track them, and offi cers may be dispatched to search for them.

At this time, only several autistic children in Immokalee are on this program, no seniors are on this radio program at this time.

- Roberts Center. Members of the unit also make presentations on topics that affect se-niors, such as highlighting available resources and making referrals. They can offer direction on how to provide care and where to fi nd it. They network with a variety of organizations like Alzheimer’s groups.

Ms. Larson pointed out that many seniors live alone, either because they simply don’t

have local family or friends for support or they have been left alone through death.

The prevention of crime against seniors is another focal point for the unit.

CCSO does not separate calls for resources by area of the county so it’s hard to break out the number of calls for service in Immokalee, Ms. Larson said, adding that it is a “signifi cant” number.

She said that the unit gets referrals from deputies, family or the elders themselves when they need assistance and when medical calls come in.

The Victim and Senior Advocacy Unit works with the Department of Children & Families to ensure resources are available to caregivers when a call is received.

When necessary, a member of the unit will make a home visit to the elder. They are there

Backpacking!!Lipman, in partnership with Pacifi c Tomato Growers, recently distributed more than 1,400 backpacks fi lled with school sup-plies to Immokalee elementary and middle school students during a free community event. Funds to purchase the back-

packs and school supplies were collected during the pro-duce companies’ “Homerun Harvest” softball tournament, held annually in April. And this year – thanks to support from the local agriculture community – the number of backpacks distributed was doubled to help fi ll the need in the commu-nity.

we move to Common Core.” The state did see declines in over half of all the schools.

In addition, of the 67 school districts in the state, 40 districts (60 percent) dropped a letter grade and there are three ‘F’ school districts.

The components for the calculation of school grades have changed for this past school year. One of the changes that nega-tively impacted schools is the state use of a 3.5 score as the criterion for FCAT writing, instead of the 3.0 score that was used last year.

To remedy the school letter grades dropped statewide, the state has limited the letter grade drop to one letter grade.

The decline of school grades happened despite signifi cant improvements in perfor-mance, especially in math and science.

While the Collier County results released today by the DOE mirror those received by schools across the State of Florida, and the declines we are experiencing in Collier are parallel to those seen across the state, it pro-vides little in the way of consolation.

The results are especially disappointing in light of the fact that we have increased student achievement, particularly in math and science, yet schools are penalized by the reduction in their grade.

Lower school grades are disheartening for our teachers, students, administrators, and parents/community members who work diligently every day to make sure high-quality teaching leads to increased student learning.

Notwithstanding, we appreciate the ef-forts of having dedicated teachers and staff

members, strong community partners. We are grateful for everyone’s collective work.

We are confi dent that if the school grad-ing formula that was used last year would have remained in effect for this year, most of our schools’ grades would either remain the same as last year or improved.

In addition, the District grade would have remained an ‘A’, and the total points received would have increased.

Our charge is to provide a high-quality education that prepares our students for graduation, a career, or college. Making sure our students receive a high-quality relevant education so they have the skills and train-ing they need to succeed is the key and re-mains our steadfast focus.

Overall, a total of 39 schools in Collier County (excluding high schools and charter schools) were graded by the State. Of the schools graded in FY13, 13 schools were graded an ‘A’, ten schools were graded a ‘B’, seven schools were graded a ‘C’, seven schools were graded a ‘D’, and two schools were graded an ‘F’.

Immokalee schools fared this way:Eden Park Elementary: D (up from an F

to make sure the individual seems to be of sound mind and able to fend for them-selves, even if their lifestyle may not be the norm.

Their function is to make sure the senior is competent to live on their own, the way the want; to see if they are at risk of injury or exploitation. If a home visit or report in-dicates “active” abuse or exploitation then a deputy will investigate.

When a victim is contacted, they will be provided information on the judicial process, shelter and possible injunctions. For additional information, they may be re-ferred to DCF or the Elder Helpline.

Having been with the CCSO for 16 years, starting out in the Human Resources Divi-sion, Ms. Larson has been supervisor of the Victim and Senior Advocacy Unit for nine years.

The civilian unit is small, with only four members in Naples (one of whom comes to Immokalee once a week) and one per-manently stationed in Immokalee. Mem-bers are cross-trained to help victims and seniors.

This includes training from the National Organization for Victims Assistance and training from the state.

It’s a demanding job, Ms. Larson ex-plains, that requires a lot of compassion. It also demands that team members manage the stress that comes from crime response work; that they have good connections with the community, good interpersonal skills and understand different cultures.

“Every case is different,” Ms. Larson ex-plains. “Our goal is to ensure seniors aren’t victimized. . . to helps senors through infor-mation and education.”

by Maribel De ArmasWell, here we are again. The begin-

ning of the new 2013-2014 school year is right around the corner – only a little more than a week away. The fi rst day of school for Collier County Public Schools is set for August 19th, and it will be without a doubt a great kick off to a successful year of learning. We’ll go into some back-to-school tips next week, but this week I want to make sure all par-ents and guardians of Immokalee students know that student arrival and dismissal times will be changing beginning on the fi rst day of school. Please make sure to take a moment now, as you read this, to make a note of these new times and share them with your child.

Eden Park Elementary: arrival 8:00 a.m.; dismissal 3:30 p.m.

Highlands Elementary arrival 8:35 a.m.; dismissal 3:00 p.m.

Lake Trafford Elementary arrival 8:35 a.m. dismissal 3:00 p.m.

Pinecrest Elementary arrival 8:35 a.m.; dismissal 3:00 p.m.

Village Oaks Elementary arrival 8:35 a.m.; dismissal 3:00 p.m.

Immokalee Middle arrival 8:55 a.m.; dismissal 3:40 p.m.

Immokalee High arrival 7:10 a.m.; di-missal 2:05 p.m.

Again, I can’t stress enough how im-portant it is to make sure you, your child, and anyone authorized to drop off or pick up your child is aware of the new arrival and dismissal times for Immokalee area schools. If your child takes the bus to and from school, bus schedules are published in this week’s edition of the Immokalee Bulletin. If you have access to a computer, you can access the bus schedules at bus.collierschools.com. Hours for all other CCPS schools remain the same.

And don’t worry, all after-school pro-gram times at Immokalee schools will also be adjusted based on the dismissal times. Contact your child’s school or the after-school care provider for these specifi c times.

Before I sign off this week, I want to share just a few more reminders. Parents of children entering Kindergarten, we en-courage you to enroll your child before the fi rst day of school. You can do so by stopping by the front offi ce of your child’s school during normal business hours. Also, make sure your child has the appropriate required immunizations before the start of the school year to avoid having your child miss any of the excitement of the fi rst day. Visit www.collierschools.com and click on the red school house icon in the “What’s New” section on the right of the page for a whole lot of important back-to-school information.

WASHINGTON – The Obama Admin-istration has launched Business.USA.gov/healthcare, a one-stop-shop Website which will provide employers of all sizes educa-tional materials on how the Affordable Care Act may affect businesses and help them compete. The site includes a wizard tool that is tailored based on size and location, so businesses can learn how the law helps them provide affordable coverage options to their employees while still meeting their bot-tom line. The site will act as a user-friendly hub that connects employers to informa-tional content on tax credits and other pro-visions of the law from the Small Business Administration, the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), and the Trea-sury Department.

As part of the Administration’s ongoing dialogue with leaders of our nation’s top businesses, this latest tool will help ensure that employers of all sizes know what the Af-fordable Care Act means for them, and have the information they need to take advantage of the new benefi ts and opportunities un-der the law. The Administration will work with the employer community to ensure the site continues to be a helpful resource for businesses and their employees, includ-ing updating the site with additional, timely information.

“As the Affordable Care Act is implement-ed, it is so important for us to work with the business community and provide employers with the information they need,” said U.S. Commerce Secretary Penny Pritzker. “The

health care website on Business.USA.gov/healthcare will be a tremendous resource for self-employed Americans and businesses of all sizes to learn what the Affordable Care Act means for them.”

“The Affordable Care Act helps level the playing fi eld for small businesses, expanding their bargaining power and their ability to offer the kind of valuable benefi t packages that attract and retain top-quality workers. Small businesses are a cornerstone of our economy and we are committed to working with them to raise awareness and access to the historic tax credits that can help small businesses and employees cover the cost of health care,” said Treasury Secretary Jacob J. Lew.

“It’s important for small business own-ers to know the facts about the Affordable Care Act and Business.USA.gov/healthcare delivers resources and need-to-know infor-mation through one streamlined tool,” said SBA Administrator Karen Mills. “This Web-site will prove to be an invaluable resource for small employers to learn how the law is ushering in better options for them and their employees.”

“The Affordable Care Act is providing better care and better choices for millions of Americans, and this is another great tool for employers to learn how they can offer health coverage that makes sense for their business and employees, and works for their bottom line,” said HHS Secretary Kathleen Sebelius.

Many parts of the Affordable Care Act, which was signed into law in March, 2010,

are already in effect, including new consum-er protections, and improvements to health care coverage that ensure consumers get more value for their premium dollars.

Additional benefi ts will take effect in late 2013 and beyond. Starting October 1, 2013, individuals, including those who are self-employed, and small businesses looking for a better plan, will have a new way to shop for private health insurance through the Health Insurance Marketplace and the Small Business Health Options Program (SHOP) found at HealthCare.gov. Individuals may be eligible for lower costs on their monthly premiums and self-employed individuals and small businesses may be eligible for tax credits to help with the costs of coverage.

“SBA South Florida District has spoken to dozens of small business owners about the law and what small business owners should be aware of,” said SBA South Florida District Director Francisco “Pancho” Marrero. “This website is a great initiative for business owners. Our offi ce is available to speak to

groups of small business owners whether

it be a chamber of commerce gathering or

other civic gathering. It’s important for small

business owners to understand how this law

affects them and where to seek assistance.”

President Obama issued a challenge to

government agencies to think beyond their

organizational boundaries in the best inter-

est of serving America’s business commu-

nity, and start thinking and acting more like

the businesses they serve. He directed the

creation of BusinessUSA.gov, a centralized

platform to make it easier than ever for busi-

nesses to access services to help them grow

and hire. BusinessUSA.gov leverages the

resources of our partners across the federal

government to ensure that business owners

get comprehensive information and easy-to-

use tools related to range of topics, including

health care. To learn more, please visit Busi-

ness.USA.gov.

Ready for schoolNumerous local organizations provided information and services to families during Lipman backpack giveawary, including: Harry Chapin Food Bank, Ti-tle I School Migrant Education Program, Ronald McDonald Mobile Care Unit, Amigos Center, Guadalupe Center, Immokalee Housing and Family Services and Southwest Florida Works – “One Stop.” Health Care Network of South-west Florida will also offer free health screenings. Representatives from the Immokalee Fire Control District displayed emergency vehicles, and the Sher-iff Department’s Crime Prevention Unit provided educational materials as well. These kids will walk into class better prepared because of this event.

The Boys & Girls Club of Collier County’s “Great Futures Start Here” Celebration Lun-cheon will celebrate the community’s sup-port of the annual scholarship campaign. 100 percent of all contributions from the campaign go straight to the programs and scholarship funds for youth that attend the club.

These scholarships help disadvantaged families pay for their children’s membership fees. Member scholarships provide more opportunities for youth to attend the club’s after school and summer programs, where they can receive academic assistance, par-ticipate in recreational leadership and artis-tic activities, as well as form friendships and bonds that last a lifetime.

Thanise Marc the 2013 Youth of the Year, will speak about her experience as a club member and the doors it has opened to her future. Guest speaker, retired NBA profes-sional basketball player and Boys & Girls Club alumni Anthony “Spud” Webb will also

speak about his time as a Club member and the positive impact it has had on his life.

Spud began playing basketball at the Turnkey Boys Club in Dallas and although the point guard was repeatedly overlooked by coaches due to his small size, he ulti-mately played 12 seasons in the NBA. In 1986, Spud went on to win the Slam Dunk Contest at the NBA All-Star Game.

The Boys & Girls Club of Collier County (BGCCC) is a non-profi t, youth develop-ment organization, which annually serves 2,993 of the most at-risk children and teens in Collier County. The Club provides a safe, positive place where local youth can acquire: academic success, good character and citizenship, and healthy life-styles.

To learn more call 239-325-1765 or visit www.bgccc.com

I.H.S. Drum Beat

Florida licensed attorneys have been fi ling court cases electronically in Collier County through the Florida Courts eFiling Portal since April 1, 2013, as required by Florida Supreme Court. As a result, paper court fi les are virtually a thing of the past in Collier County.

Recently, Clerk of Courts, Dwight Brock, began promoting a new service - eRecord-ing - which allows customers to submit doc-uments electronically to be recorded in the offi cial records of Collier County.

To take advantage of this new service, at-torneys, title companies etc. will fi rst need to sign an agreement with the Clerk and estab-lish their own Deposit Account.

Anyone interested in learning more about eRecording in Collier County is invited to at-tend a seminar on Thursday, August 22 from 9:00-11:00 am at the South Regional Library on Lely Cultural Blvd.

The seminar is FREE - OPEN to the PUB-LIC; and pre-registration is not required.

Detailed information about eRecording is available on the Clerk’s website. eRecording is Available in Collier County!
