LIBERTY-BENTON LOCAL SCHOOLS

DENNIS L. RECKER, SUPERINTENDENT

APRIL 2007 DISTRICT BOARD OF EDUCATION REPORT

 

  1. Just when you think No Child Left Behind has created enough paperwork, along comes the subject of “disproportionality”, which can trigger a state investigation through a self-study analysis.  Since we now have a reputation for meeting the needs of nearly all students our special needs population has increased.  Because of our excellent service, we may now be subject to scrutiny because of our increased population.  Go figure!
  2. I found a March 18 Columbus Dispatch article on school funding and what actually happened “behind the scenes” with the Ohio Supreme Court.  It is kind of chilling when the third component of governance, the judicial system wasn’t neutral, as it was intended to be.  This article is followed up with a report I created, showing the impact of Governor Strickland’s new budget on L-B.  The “cliff” just got a lot closer.  I’ve got a solution to this worked out.  Also realize that this is considered a “generous” budget, and the end result in July could be much worse, which would not be zero growth in state revenue for three years, as proposed, but actual decreases, once the budgeting process is complete. 

When I look at this proposal, along with our five year forecast, we’ve gone from the second best

fiscal position in the county to fifth by FY 2010.  We and Van Buren are the only schools who

will not experience an increase in state revenue.

I’m sending a copy of this to Governor Strickland because while his intent is to help all schools,

we’ve been left out.  I’m asking that he tweak the budget to provide L-B some financial support.  I’ve asked Lisa to do a “what if” scenario, if we were to increase our income tax ¼ of one percent (and time its renewal with our current Income Tax) where we’d collect 1%, shift all collection for operating purposes, and seek a 2 mil permanent improvement issue.  Total millage equivalency would be about 4.5 mils.  To wait another year would drive the “need” to 10.1 mills.

Attached is an impact statement, assuming Governor Strickland’s budget were to be accepted, over the next biennium (through 2008-09).  I also am providing you more data so you can see how neighboring districts are affected.  I’m not a “whiner”, but we’re in “limbo” so to speak, and we must accept the fact that only our local citizens will either help keep us solvent or let us fall into a financial “death spiral”.  (Item A)

  1. Received this letter from the Ohio High School Athletic Association.  This shows how high the esteem it felt for our students at L-B.  (Item B)
  2. The Citizens Committee for Mental Health and Substance Abuse Services sent a mailing, requesting that we support a 1 mill replacement levy and a .3 mill increase.  Their last levy was passed in 2002, and currently collects at 0.92 mils.  They are, in essence, seeking a 38% increase in funding since their last issue, and attribute the needed increase in part to, “The need for an increase is largely due to the state’s phase out of personal property tax.”  When we reflect on other agency needs that were voted upon last election, i.e. senior citizens and a near doubling of MRDD revenue, this is in line with other agency’s cost of doing business.  (Item C)
  3. We’re finding some interesting conditions developing as we move through the construction of the ticket/concession/restroom/storage complex.

We needed extra stone to bear the weight of cement trucks due to wet weather.  That’s okay because we’ll need the stone anyways when we enter the next phase of surfacing the area around the building (cost $1694.00).

The waterline we sized for the building has been required by the city to be upsized.  This will cost an additional $4960.00.

 

To get sewage out from the building, and needed fall, we have a serious concern about sandiness of soils, potential cave-ins, and the risk associated.  Total additional cost for this is $16,950.00.  However, we have an alternate of 2 inch line with dual grinder pumps.  We’ll now bore instead of dig.  Result is cost of $8400 instead of $16,950.

Finally, we have to get adequate power to the building for concession area (preparation area and preventing overloading the electrical system). 

First estimate for electrical changes is $7984. but we’re looking at this again for a solution as good and less expensive.  Even with the additional costs, we’re $11,547 below estimate.

Jeff and Mr. Roth are looking at the area for purposes of providing a durable surface come fall sport season.

  1. Ohio is not alone in finding needed leadership as shown by the enclosed article about Massachusetts education.  (Item D)
  2. I found an article on “non-degree” jobs.  Two points of interest are that even these jobs now require higher levels of study while in high school, indicating we are on the correct path with our children instructionally.  The other factoid is that in this article, 75% of jobs will require college of some sort.  This again supports the fact of our high rate of students taking rigorous coursework and their college boards.  (Item E)
  3. On April 4, I was asked to speak to all the A-Site directors in Ohio about DASL and L-B’s vision for the utilization of this product.  I’ve received follow-up calls and correspondence which were very complimentary to us, and thanking us for our visionary leadership in providing direction in creating an educational software package that will be functional for all schools in Ohio.
  4. I received a study of Ohio’s school systems conducted by the University of Washington and funded by the Bill and Melinda Gates foundation.  I’ve enclosed the executive summary, pages 3-7, and a capsule summation of sorts, a diversity of communities, how aspirations and expectations, a recent history of “reform”, school funding, and a sense of urgency in crating an economically viable state through education.  For the most part, we are “at a higher level” as a board so we evolve educationally.  I found it interesting how, through our strategic planning process, there is some trepidation about looking forward, when we see folks yearning for “what used to be”.  Part of our task will be to navigate the future, uncharted education waters, knowing we will have provided a better school system for our children.  Our track record to date strongly validates the decisions and direction we’re going, especially when you read pages 18-22 of the report. 

Even more enlightening is that there are four recommendations for the future, and L-B has been conducting three of the four, some beginning ten years ago.

While we’re “in synch” with most of the study, I still disagree with charter school effectiveness, especially when I see the effect on our students who go “on-line” or the community school route.  They don’t graduate and pages 83-84 of the Gates study shows the economic impact on these kids.   (Item F)

  1. Attached are contract recommendations.  (Item G)
  2. I’ve alluded to a corrective action in item #2, and this attachment shows the “relativity” factor of how other agencies have benefited as compared to us.  (Item H)

 

ELEMENTARY PRINCIPAL’S REPORT

Liberty-Benton Board of Education

April 14, 2007

 

1.   As of today, we have the following number of students in our elementary program:

                                                                                            March 2007

Pre-school        -    22  (1 section – ½ a.m. & ½ p.m.)               (  22)

Kindergarten     -    96 (5 sections – avg. class 19.2)                  (  96)                 

First Grade        -    75 (4 sections – avg. class 18.8)                  (  75)                 

Second Grade   -    86 (4 sections – avg. class 21.5)                    (  84)                 

Third Grade      -  105 (5 sections – avg. class 21.0)                    (105)                 

Fourth Grade     -    85 (4 sections – avg. class 21.3)                    (  85)                 

Fifth Grade       -  106 (5 sections – avg. class 21.2)                     (105)                 

TOTAL (K-5):     553 School Average:  20.5                   (550)    Average (20.4)

                                     (575 with pre-school) 

  1. We have screened 71 students for kindergarten as of tonight’s board meeting for the upcoming 2007-08 school year.  Last year we screened 85 students by the April board meeting.  We have 7 more students to screen that weren’t screened or were absent on March 28th.  If the trends hold true, I am predicting to start around 80-85 students for opening day.  I am cautiously planning because we screened 85 students last year and we have 96 students in kindergarten right now.  My initial plan is to utilize our Title II Class size reduction monies to have 5 kindergarten sections for next year.  We will be watching this closely through our June registration day to try to get a better picture of what we will be dealing with for the fall for sure.
  1. In planning for next year we are beginning to see a potential concern for space issues for classrooms and operational space.  What we really can’t afford is a net gain of 10 students in certain grades like grades 3 or 5.  These grades will have four sections as of now, but with 22-23 students in most classes.  Grades 1 and 4 already have students that require 5 classes for each.  However with the layout of the buildings, we are seeing a need to plan on recapturing classroom space from the old office area to be able to have Grades 1 and 4 classrooms be on the same floor or area together respectively.  It is far from becoming a crisis at this point, but I can see the importance of us looking to formulate a proactive plan to address potential effects that could occur during the next 3-5 years, especially with several housing developments underway now that could possibly provide some substantial growth in student numbers over the next 3-5 years.
  1. The attendance for the 3rd grading period this year was 95.95%.  This is slightly down from 97.2% last year this time and pretty much the same as the 2005 year when it was 96.0%.  We have experienced several students with hospital stays or health care issues that have caused them to miss multiple days at one time this grading period.  We are still above the state standard of 93.0% for our school report card.
  1. Attached to this report you will find a copy of the special areas teachers’ 3rd Quarter Update for your information.  It is great to see what the students are learning and experiencing in these classes, too.
  1. One of our goals for next year it to increase the amount of instructional time we are giving to reading, language arts, and math to our K-2 and Gr.3-5 classrooms.  This is always a challenge when we are still taking slices of time out of the same pie we’ve always had.  This increase in time is due to the need for our teachers to have adequate time to deliver effective classroom instruction (i.e. balanced literacy, differentiated instruction) while at the same time allocating time and resources to continue to work toward the No Child Left Behind (NCLB) standard of all students being proficient and our school and district meeting Adequate Yearly Progress (AYP).  There are certainly many issues that arise as we divide the day up and take into consideration the subjects, classes, and programs that can be impacted by the changes.  However, we must remain focused on the goal of maintaining our current great educational program while improving student achievement at the same time.   I will keep you apprised of these changes and any issues that we may come across as we plan for next year.
  1. The elementary has applied for and been accepted into the Ohio School AED Project for this year.  In participating in this program, which will include training personnel and updating our emergency response plan, we will receive an automated external defibrillator (AED) for our school building. This will give both the elementary and middle school each an AED, as we currently share one which is housed in the middle school.  We have a timeline in place which requires everything to be completed and the AED unit to be shipped to us within 50 days of acceptance into the program, which was April 10, 2007.  Joyce Jackson will be providing the training on April 18th to capitalize on the extra time available to us from the scheduled 2-hour delay.
  1. Our Grandparents Day event this year was outstanding.  A BIG Thank You to Jeb Darnall for her incredible organizational and implementation skills for this event. She makes it all look easy! Additionally, we could never have such a positive and memorable event without the help of our PTO volunteers, as well as our teachers, and our cafeteria staff for serving an incredible amount of additional lunches that day!  Additionally, the shuttle bus service is an absolute necessity to provide for the safest arrival and departure procedures for our guests.  Thank you to Mr. Schimmoeller and our bus drivers for helping us out for this event, too. Thank you to Mr. Frommer, Mr. Schoonover, and our custodians for all their hard work, too.  It is truly a team event.  This year, we had many classrooms where we had over 30 guests and one class with over 40.  Although we certainly love to see the turnout and support, we don’t have the classroom size to be able to accommodate this very well. Because of the great success and attendance for this event, we have come to the point where we will need to study possible changes and adjustments to how we run our Grandparents Day to make it better not only for our guests, but for our teachers and students.   We are very happy for the turn out again this year, which is a testament to the quality of program L-B delivers.  If this wasn’t great enough, this is the first event in the last four Grandparents Days I have been a part of that it was not raining – in fact, it was sunny and even mild in temperature!
  1. We are in the planning stages for conducting a Walk for the Cure for Diabetes as an elementary and possibly a middle school joint event.  We are looking at doing this on the same day as our Field Day and Picnic Day on May 31st.  We have 6 families with students in the elementary/middle school directly affected by diabetes that I am working to schedule a committee meeting to plan and oversee this event. Any staff that may want to be a part of this is invited as well.  I will have more detailed information at our May Board Meeting.

Total Students:  289                                  

 

2.  Camp Storer Presentation:  The informational meeting for incoming 6th grade students went well, with 58 families present.  Bill Sparks, Program Coordinator for the camp, was there and gave an informational PowerPoint presentation regarding what to expect from the camp experience.  Sixth grade teachers Linda Moorhead, Mark Marshall, and Lisa Saums discussed the educational value of the trip and also discussed the details of the programming and classes offered.  Roger Zorn, from A-Peeling Fundraising was also on hand to discuss the details of fund raiser that will help students offset the cost of the trip.  We held a lengthy Q&A session and the parental feedback I received after the meeting was positive.  I was a little disappointed in the overall attendance, but members of our PTO assisted in sending home informational packets to every fifth grader whose family did not attend the meeting on Friday, 4/13.  My hope is to once again have 100% attendance in 2007.

 

3.  Grandparents Day:  In my last Board Report, I noted that 65 guests had registered to attend the day.  Our total number of guests at the middle school was actually 105!  This is the largest turnout for Grandparents Day at the middle school ever.  I enjoyed spending some time with our grandparents. 

 

4.  Students of the Quarter:  Congratulations to the following students that were selected by their teachers as Students of the Quarter for the third grading period.  We will be traveling the Baker Photography on Thursday, April 19, 2007 and stopping by Dietsch’s on our way back to school. 

 

Grade 6: Alexa Bouts

Grade 7:  Grant Moses

Grade 8:  Annie Black

 

5.  Two Hour Collaboration Day April 18, 2007:  Teachers at the middle school will be learning ways to promote literacy across the curriculum.  Heidi Irwin and Laurie Collier will be leading this in-service.  Laurie and Heidi both volunteered to be our Literacy Specialists through an Ohio Reads grant obtained by the ESC. 

 

6.  Golden Apple Finalist Mrs. Lisa Schroeder:  Congratulations to Mrs. Lisa Schroeder, who is currently a finalist for the prestigious Golden Apple Award given by the Rotary Club.  I will be attending a luncheon at the Winebrenner Seminary on April with Mrs. Schroeder when the winners will be announced.  We are proud of Mrs. Schroeder and know she is already a winner in our eyes!

 

7.  Pint Sized Heroes Assembly/Blood Drive:  The Liberty-Benton Middle School Student Council is sponsoring a blood drive to be held at the Middle School on May 14, 2007 in the Gym.  There will be an assembly on April 16, 2007 to kick off the blood drive.  Terri Shinn will be on hand from the American Red Cross to promote the program with our students.

 

8.  Yearbook:  The Liberty-Benton Middle School yearbook will be in full color this year!  I have previewed the proof of the book and it looks great.  Thanks to Stacy Pickett and Deb Lilley for collaborating on this year’s edition.  The book looks super.

 

9.  Testing Preparations: Stacy Pickett and I will be visiting with the teams next week to discuss testing security issues and the schedule for testing week.  Arrangements are being made once again to provide breakfast for all of our students during testing week.  With the increase in statewide assessments due to Senate Bill 2, we will be serving approximately 900 breakfasts to students.  Our PTO will be helping to offset the costs of breakfast for the students.

6:00 P.M.

 

 

1.)                Anatomy Class Presentation -  We are excited tonight to have the anatomy class show you some of their life size skeleton models that they have constructed.  Thank you to Mrs. Kelly Hunter for arranging for these students to share their projects with us this evening.

2.)                Honor Roll Students -  We recognized 197 honor roll students for the third nine weeks, and the final honor roll ice cream social of the year sponsored by the Academic Boosters was held on April 13th.

3.)                Third Quarter Attendance -  Our overall high school attendance rate for the third nine weeks was 96.15%.

4.)                Valedictorians and Salutatorian of the Class of 2007 -  This year’s graduating class has eight valedictorians and one salutatorian.  They are:

Valedictorians                                          Salutatorian

Sammy Curto                                             Miranda Velikoff

Leah Favor

Brittney Keller

Eric Pasche

T.J. Recker

Sarah Robb

Katie Streacker

Travis Walker

5.)                Teaching Needs For Next Year -  As we have started to work on our high school master schedule for next school year, we have discovered that we are overflowing with students’ requests in several departments.  We realize that we will not be adding staff in most areas, but we absolutely have to add two periods of teaching time to the current science staffing.  We will need to bring someone in for two class periods, or we cannot get all of the students covered in their science classes.  I was not surprised by this because as Mr. Recker and I have discussed out growth the past two years, I projected that this would happen.  We currently have 4 full English teachers, 3.5 math teachers, 3.33 social studies teachers, and only 3 science teachers.  We could not hold back any longer with the increased numbers we have been experiencing.  I just wanted to let you know and ask for your support of this small increase in our core area staffing.

6.)                Struggling Students -  At this point in the year every year, we start to wonder about our seniors who are on the bubble as to whether they will be graduating on-time, or not.  Most years we have one or a couple of students who are faced with summer school before receiving their diploma.  I wanted to let you know that this is one of the years we have several students who could be graduating, or not graduating, depending on many events between now and June 10th.  We have 9 students, in all, on the bubble or who already know they will not be graduating.  This is a very large group for us!!!  Three of these students moved into LB this year as seniors from Findlay, and all three of them will not be graduating.  One already quit and withdrew after attending LB for two weeks.  One would have made it if she had continued, but she refuses to attend and did not even show up for the week of required OGT testing.  The third one still has a remote chance, but it is very unlikely to happen.  Of the other 6 LB seniors, only one will not be graduating on-time, for sure.  The other 5 are currently working on make-up correspondence credits, and we will have to wait and see how they do between now and June 10th.  We have never had such a large group of struggling seniors.  Most of the parents have been supportive about all of this, and they share in our frustrations with their children.  I do thank our teachers and counselors for trying to work with these students over the years, and especially during this final year, in a constant effort to get these students graduated successfully.  This has been a challenging year for our students who struggle.  The bigger we continue to grow in enrollment, the larger the gap seems to be between the large number of highly-motivated and advanced students versus the students who struggle and lack responsibility for completing their work as required.  I just wanted to let you know about this very unfortunate and sad situation.

7.)                State Speech Qualifiers -  On a happier note, I would like to congratulate both Mary Linehan and Jordan Schutt for qualifying and competing in the Ohio Speech League’s state tournament held in Youngstown.  The team was very small this year with only four members, but they were able to accomplish some major success throughout the season.  Rachael Yake won the high school division of the talent show with her humorous interpretation of “Hansel and Gretel,” and both Mary and Jordan advanced to the state level.  Mary delivered a fantastic performance of a Columbine piece in the dramatic interpretation arena, and Jordan was definitely in control of the impromptu event at many different tournaments.  Congratulations again to the speech team, to Mary and Jordan, and to their advisor, Mrs. Susan Haseley.

8.)                State Basketball -  Congratulations to the boys’ varsity Eagle basketball team on their State Runner-Up title as well as a terrific season.  Congratulations also to Nathan Hyde for being named the state’s Division III Player of the Year and to Coach Steve Williman for being named the state’s Division III Coach of the Year.  I would also like to congratulate the cheerleaders and their coaches for a fantastic job all throughout the season and for helping to put on the world’s best all-time pep rally as we prepared to head to the state tournament.  This was well worth the effort that was involved, and again, I thank Mr. Otley, Mr. Burkett, and the staffs from all three buildings for making this possible, special, and memorable for all students in grades K-12!  It rocked!!!

9.)                Future Teachers of America -  As the components of the newly approved Ohio Core have been discussed, you may have heard about the incentives being offered to draw more individuals toward the career of teaching.  As a result of thinking about this a lot, I thought it might be a nice time to consider adding a high school organization for “Future Teachers of America.”  This is an organization available to high school students, and I know of some schools who have such a program.  I recently surveyed our current student body to see what their interest might be.  We had a small group of interested students, but probably not enough to warrant adding such a group at this time.  I just wanted to share the consideration with you so you know I was debating it, and we can always revisit it later.  I am impressed every year that we do seem to have a nice number of graduates who plan to enter the profession of education, and this is encouraging to see.

10.)            Relay For Life -  The planning for the upcoming Hancock County Relay For Life being held here at the LB track on May 18th-19th is currently in the fast and furious stages.  We hope to see everyone at the Relay, and you will probably be asked for donations and hear of many fundraisers going on these days.  The relay will kick-off at 6:00 p.m. on May 18th and run until noon on May 19th. 

11.)            Upcoming Events:

April 17                  Hancock Youth Leadership Banquet

April 18                  Two-Hour Delay & Collaboration Session

April 18                  FFA Staff Breakfast
