SAD Goal Setting Process The SAD Board will develop 3 – 5 goals based on input from individual board members, administrators, the CSD board goals. The goals should reflect the district’s priority work this year. They should read as overarching goals that guide administrators who will develop strategies to address the goals. I. Individual Board Member input
• This will be sought during the board retreat. • Members will share 2-3 draft goals they feel are priorities for the district work this year. • Once draft goals are shared, there will be an opportunity to ask one another clarifying
questions. II. Administrator input Review the draft board goals developed by ATeam this summer based on their view of the district’s priorities (attached) III. CSD Board goals Review the draft board goals (themes) being developed by the CSD Board – very much still in draft form (attached) IV. Discussion Based on the three layers of input, engage in discussion about the ideas presented. Listen. Consider. Offer your opinions and perspectives. V. Goal Setting Group lists priority areas for goals (e.g. Instruction, Finance, etc). Group narrows down to list of 3 – 5. Group works together to develop a goal in each of the priority areas that will guide the administration’s work for the year.
Administrator input Goal #1: Instruction: Improve student engagement and ownership in classrooms by using student centered instructional techniques. Goal #2: Achievement
• 85% of all students in grades 4 and 8 will achieve proficient or advanced levels of achievement as shown on spring NWEA math assessments.
• 90% of all students in grades 4 and 8 will achieve proficient or advanced levels of achievement as shown on spring NWEA reading assessments
Goal #3: Curriculum
• Work closely with the other Five Town districts to continue implementing a proficiency based educational system.
• To insure that k-12 grading /reporting systems accurately reflect student performance based on identified standards, are sensitive to variations in students proficiencies, are understood by stakeholders, and has consistent elements within the Five Town Schools.
Goal #4: Strategic Planning: Determine the most sound solution to address the middle school facility and then build community support for a successful Middle School vote in Nov 2017.
CSD Board goals – general themes – still in draft form
Goal #1: Strategic Plan: By June 2017, develop a nimble strategic planning process in addition to developing a four year strategic plan to be implemented School Year 17-18. Goal #2: Instruction
• Visibly prioritize a focus on student centered learning (including voice and choice)
• Improve math instruction to better meet the needs of students • Research the larger picture of career and technology education for our students
Goal #3: Culture: Intentionally take action to create a culture (and structure) in our school that addresses the developmental needs of adolescents to help increase their success in school.
In February 2015, the voters of Camden and Rockport turned down a bond issue that would have funded a new Middle School on the site of the present school in Camden. However, the issues with the current school building remain unresolved. The fact is that the current middle school building and its systems are failing and while immediate concerns are being addressed, a longer term solution is required.
Following the vote, outreach to the community indicated that the building issues and proposed building were not well communicated and explained. Neither the need for a solution to the current building’s condition was made clear, nor was the fact that the school board had considered a range of options before recommending the new building.
To move forward, a committee of residents and interested parties was formed to explore options for resolution to the middle school facility. The charge for this committee is to reconsider all possible options and to present them clearly and cogently to the community. Having explored the options with the community, the committee is further charged with making a decision as to the best option to recommend to the school board. This chosen option would then be put before the voters with sufficient communication and justification in November of 2017. Key to that communication is the factor that there is no option to do nothing. “Doing nothing” will require significant capital repairs in the coming years. Also important in this communication process is that costs are involved in any option chosen; those costs will be controlled based on the amount of bond funding. There would not be a situation of cost overruns once the budget and bond funding are established.
The committee has developed three potential options:
PATCH RENOVATE NEW
SCHOOL
Option #2: This option entails a fairly major renovation of the facility to not only address structural and systems issues, but it would also address energy and operational issues and some educational
Option #1: The option to patch is the option to “do nothing”. The building is old and failing and does not meet basic life safety codes in many areas. This option would address structural issues, life safety, ADA compliance, and deferred maintenance to maintain a building
Option #3: This option would result in a brand new facility on the Knowlton Street campus. A new facility would be a long term investment in education by creating a space that is energy efficient, appropriately sized (approx 30% smaller), and designed to meet current and future educational programming.
We, the Building Vision Committee with the assistance of Oak Point Associates, have put together the following documents to outline the three possible options for resolution of the current middle school building issues. Also included are budget backup documentation, costs for comparable buildings in other towns and a list of conditions in the current building requiring remediation. We hope you will give consideration to this information and aid us in making a recommendation to the school board. Together we have the opportunity to create the right environment for our youth.
