Introduction Every school has its own story to tell. The context in which teaching and learning takes place influences the processes and procedures by
which the school makes decisions around curriculum, instruction, and assessment. The context also impacts the way a school stays faithful
to its vision. Many factors contribute to the overall narrative such as an identification of stakeholders, a description of stakeholder
engagement, the trends and issues affecting the school, and the kinds of programs and services that a school implements to support student
learning. <br><br> The purpose of the Executive Summary (ES) is to provide a school with an opportunity to describe in narrative form the
strengths and challenges it encounters. By doing so, the public and members of the school community will have a more complete picture of
how the school perceives itself and the process of self-reflection for continuous improvement. This summary is structured for the school to
reflect on how it provides teaching and learning on a day to day basis.

Description of the School
Describe the school's size, community/communities, location, and changes it has experienced in the last three years. Include
demographic information about the students, staff, and community at large. What unique features and challenges are associated
with the community/communities the school serves? Scottsboro is located in Northeast Alabama and is the county seat of Jackson County. Scottsboro is a rural, suburban town of approximately
15,000 situated on the banks of the Tennessee River allowing unique water accessibility. Our location provides area residents with
opportunities for water sport and fishing hobbies. Tourists are attracted to our community because of fishing, golfing, boating, hiking, and
camping activities. However, new businesses and jobs are rare while existing businesses are experiencing declines in revenues and
undergoing cutbacks in employees. In addition, jobs and revenue expected from TVA employment through the Bellefonte Nuclear Plant
facility have been recently withdrawn.
The recent economic recession presented some difficulties for community members as well as the schools within the district. There has been
a continuing drop in both new home construction and home purchasing. The unemployment rate is higher than the national average; thus, a
large percentage of our students continue to qualify for free or reduced meals. Median family income is lower than the national
average. Primary job opportunities are within the service and food service industries. There is some resistance to the recruitment of new
businesses which would provide more diverse opportunities, including the technology related fields which flourish in neighboring counties. A
large number of households do not have Internet access which affects business and educational opportunities.
Scottsboro High School has a current enrollment of 787. Ethinicity of SHS is 85.6% Caucasian, 7.5% Black, 4.8% Hispanic, 1.7% Asian, .3%
Indian & .1% Multi-Race. Staffing trends closely reflect these populations. 44.5% of Scottsboro's enrollment are on either free or reduced
lunch.

Describe the process used to engage a variety of stakeholders in the development of the institution's improvement plan. Include
information on how stakeholders were selected and informed of their roles, and how meetings were scheduled to accommodate
them. The Leadership Team was formed by the administration at the beginning of the school year. The team consists of a representative from each
department, specialty areas, chief financial officer, curriculum director and the community education coordinator. Community stakeholders
such as parents and business people are informed Continuous Improvement Plan. The team meets several time during the year. The
leadership team communicates regularly with the PST, CT Advisory Council and the Content Literacy Team. The Leadership Team
communicated with faculty/staff at faculty meetings, professional development workshops and through email. Describe the representations from stakeholder groups that participated in the development of the improvement plan and their
responsibilities in this process. Scottsboro High Schools stakeholders include numerous business people from our community. Currently, Scottsboro includes two engineers,

Needs Assessment
Identify the top 1-3 areas of need associated with your technology Infrastructure (fast and easy access to network, digital content).
Identify the data sources and actual data results that led you to conclude that these are areas of strength and need. TOP 1-3 NEEDS:
1)Maintaining current CISCO routers and switches. These switches would be capable of QOS (quality of service) and POE (power over
Ethernet) to allow for VLAN segmenting of the network providing DATA, VOICE and VIDEO. Maintaining the current CISCO ViOP telephone
system which includes CISCO call managers, desktop telephones, portable/wireless telephones, Cystera intercom and school management
devices. Devices at each SCS location would be Layer 3 capable allowing the switches to provide WAN routing as well as all LAN
connectivity, dispensing with the need for separate routers. Locations would include Brownwood Elementary, Caldwell Elementary, Collins
Elementary, Scottsboro Junior High, Scottsboro High, Alternative School, Page Administrative Building and the Maintenance and
Transportation Building. The CISCO LAN services have been upgraded to include wireless connectivity for all areas of our schools and
administrative buildings, maintenance of the wireless network will be ongoing.
2)Server upgrades would encompass a server farm located at the BOE for network authentication, DNS, WIN and DHCP utilizing Windows
Server OS software and other OS software as needed. The BOE would include servers for network authentication, DNS, WIN and DHCP
utilizing Windows Server OS and other OS software as needed. In addition servers would be required to replace the Proxy, SQL, Exchange,
Anti-virus, ZenWorks network administration, and Content Filtering. Uninterruptible Power Supply devices would be maintained to provide for
at least fifteen minutes of support in the event of power loss. Videoconferencing equipment would be upgraded and streaming video services
and or servers would be provided if approved.
3)Firewall services would be purchased to replace our current device which is outdated. This service would provide improved protection and
reporting of network intrusion attempts. Leased WAN service would be continued with Scottsboro Electric Power Board who currently
provides single mode fiber connectivity to each of our locations. Maintenance and support services would be added if available to help our
staff better utilize our services.
