Annual Message to the Citizens of Rutland City

Peter H. Forshay, President, Board of School CommissionersPRIVATE
Mary E. Moran, Superintendent of Education


TO THE CITIZENS OF RUTLAND CITY:

Rutland City Public Schools is a learning organization that provides an outstanding educational opportunity to 2800 students at seven schools, two alternative sites, and the Stafford Technical Center. Our superior faculty and staff members focus on the needs of each and every child on a daily basis. What follows is a basic and brief report on the status of the system.

Northeast and Northwest Primary Schools each serve approximately 275 students in the Early Essential Education Program (EEE) through Second Grade. The Pierpoint Primary Learning Center, located at the former regional library, houses students in grades K-2 in a multi-age program and is part of the Northwest/Pierpoint Primary School community.

The Rutland Intermediate School, located on Library Avenue, serves approximately 650 students in Grades 3-6. The Rutland Middle School, also located on Library Avenue, serves 380 students in Grades 7 and 8. Rutland High School, on Stratton Road, serves 1070 students. Approximately 260 students attend the full time program at the Stafford Technical Center, and over 800 adults take part in our Adult Education Program. Stafford programs continue to support educational and training opportunities for both the youth and adult populations of Rutland County.

The number of tuition students attending Rutland High School from Rutland Town, Mendon, Chittenden, Danby, Hubbarton, Ira, Middletown Springs, Mt. Tabor, Pittsfield, Plymouth and Stockbridge remains strong. Continued progressive programming, including a large the number of Advanced Placement and honors courses, an infusion of modern technology, the YES Plan and many additional offerings in the Fine Arts, have contributed to the consistent attractiveness of Rutland High School as the most popular school of choice for parents and students in the tuition-paying towns.

The Rutland High School Howe Center Campus serves 45 high school students in an off-campus alternative education and service-learning program designed to prevent students from dropping out of school. The SUCCESS School, located on Allen Street, serves approximately 50 students in grades K-12 who have had difficulties in adapting to a traditional classroom and school environment. This is a model program, which is conducted jointly by the Rutland City Schools and Rutland Mental Health Services. SUCCESS combines academics, adventure-based learning, work and community service, and therapeutic services for students and their families in a way that better meets their needs, both in school and in the community.

We also offer an extensive co-curricular program for students from grade 3 through grade 12. In addition to a comprehensive athletics program, there is a wide range of clubs and activities that support student learning and development and keep our children active and safe in the after school hours of each day. The RCPS Fine Arts program is one of the finest in the nation, and has been recognized as such on two recent occasions. We invite citizens to attend the many music and theatrical performances of our students both in the schools and at the Paramount Theater, and to attend the various visual art displays around the community and at the Chaffee Art Gallery. In addition, the nationally recognized Tapestry Program serves over 600 children in after-school and summer programming offering extensive enrichment, tutorial, counseling, cultural and recreational opportunities.

Each school in Vermont strives to achieve, and is measured against, the Vermont Grade Expectations (GEs). The GEs are standards for all students that are measured in a number of ways. First, the state mandates that students in grades 3 through 8 and grade10 be assessed using the New England Comprehensive Assessment Program (NECAP). Students in grade 2 are mandated to take the Vermont Developmental Reading Assessment (DRA). For 2007, the Rutland City Public Schools as a district and each school individually achieved Vermont’s targeted standard, known as Adequate Yearly Progress (AYP), for “all students.” Students are also assessed using local tests and in class evidence of progress toward the same Grade Expectations. These assessments are used to design instruction and target intervention, or extra help, for students in need.

The health and well being of our students is at the forefront of our thoughts. After all, a healthy student will achieve more academically than a student carrying a number of risk factors. The 2007 Vermont Youth Risk Behavior Survey contains information about the health and lifestyles of students around the state and within the Rutland City Public School district. We monitor the data from this state generated survey as well as local data to organize our health and wellness resources in support of students and families in Rutland. We are extremely proud of our ongoing relationships with community health and wellness agencies including Rutland Mental Health, Rutland County Head Start, the Department of Child and Family Services, the Rutland Regional Medical Center, and Rutland’s Police and Fire Departments.

Your school district continues to operate in a mode of continuous improvement with a focus on professional development and student achievement. We are currently in the second year of a major focus on student literacy Pre K through grade 12. In addition to ongoing projects, teachers and administrators have recently developed a comprehensive, four-year, K-12 literacy plan.

Rutland City Public Schools strive to offer an outstanding learning experience at a reasonable per pupil cost to the city taxpayers. For this school year the district’s per-pupil cost is 7.7 % below the state average for all districts, as is shown on the FY07 State education property tax bills. That is, in Rutland we offer an outstanding educational opportunity for all of our children at a lower cost than the majority of the school districts in the state.

We look forward to continuing to work with you, our staff, and the students and families of Rutland City as we strive to provide the very best possible education for our community.

$    The spelling of Joe Kraus name was corrected throughout.
Motion passed unanimously by all those in attendance.

Written Communication - None

Oral Communication - Madeline Sherman, 48 Morse Place, Rutland said her comments are being made as a private citizen. She read a letter she wrote regarding the library program K-8 in Rutland City Schools. The letter is attached.

Swearing in Elected and Re-Elected Members: Wayne T. Cooke, Roberta Dress, Peter Fagan, and Peter Forshay all for three year terms were sworn in.

Election of Board Clerk - Mr. Forshay said it is his intention not to serve in any officer role in the coming term. He thanked fellow Commissioners, staff, and administration.

Motion by Gartner/ Cooke to nominate Richard Courcelle as Board Clerk.

There were no other nominations.

Motion to elect Richard Courcelle as Board Clerk passed unanimously by all those in attendance.

Election of Board President - Mr. Courcelle thanked Peter Forshay for his two years as Board President. He praised his work as President and said he has been a mentor and a steady and wise guide to the Board. He said he is delighted Mr. Forshay is continuing on the Board. Ms. Moran said she is also grateful to Mr. Forshay for his role in the past as Board President, Board Clerk, and for his work on the Building Committee.

Motion by Forshay/Cooke to nominate Peter Mello as Board President.

There were no other nominations.

Motion to elect Peter Mello as Board President passed unanimously by all those in attendance.

Rutland Middle School Reading Plan - Ms. Moran said it is felt we can accomplish additional reading support for those who need it while retaining the integrity of the World Language program. Mr. Cunningham said the purpose of the proposal is to address students who are struggling with reading. He said the proposal is predicated on a candidate who is licensed in English, French and ELL. He reviewed what a potential schedule would look like under this proposal.

Ms. Moran said she does not see negatives for any children: the ones who need the extra help will get it and the others will be able to take a World Language. Mr. Cunningham said a student taking reading would not get a World Language although students would have the opportunity in high school.
 
Commissioner Book asked what would happen if the candidate does not work out. Ms. Moran said if it does not come to fruition, there will still be an attempt to make this happen. Mr. Book asked if the teacher would be able to introduce some World Language by the end of the year. Mr. Cunningham said it could be possible. It could also be possible for a student to take reading in 7th grade and a World Language in 8th grade, although in middle school, it takes two academic years to complete one World Language credit. Ms. Moran said it is a terrific idea to expose the student and then they could take it in high school for credit.

Commissioner Cooke said other middle schools are following this concept and he supports it, as well as a similar model for Math. He said not all students are ready for a foreign language in 7th or 8th grade. He asked for a clarification on the candidate’s licensure. Mr. Cunningham said the candidate is completing her ELL and is in the process of completing her reading endorsement. He said he is comfortable with her current endorsement and the work she is doing for her reading endorsement. She would not be focusing on English, but on the teaching of reading. Ms. Moran said the students will also be in regular English / Language Arts class.

Commissioner Kilic-Murray questioned the scheduling and also asked if potential students and their parents were contacted. Mr. Cunningham said he wanted the Board to see this before speaking with parents and students. He reviewed some of the scheduling changes and explained the way the sections are divided. Mr. Cunningham said traditionally there have been many more incoming 7th graders requesting Spanish than French over the years. The proposal is flexible enough so that if there is a year with strong readers, there could be an extra World Language section added and a reading section deleted.

Brendan Corsones asked if it would be possible to take one year of reading and then one year of World Language. Mr. Cunningham said the capacity would be there but the student would only have one-half of the foreign language and would not have the full course.

NECAP Report - Ms. Moran said the district has a variety of ways in which we assess students and performance. She read through and commented on the district’s 20 data points used to help inform student performance. Mr. Bliss said the report is meant to be informative. Mr. Olson explained the New England Common Assessment Program (NECAP), Vermont’s standardized assessment in grades 3-8 and grade 11, and the subjects and grades tested. He shared some practice tests. Mr. Olsen reviewed how the NECAP is scored, how students are measured against the standard, and how scores are reported to the public. Mr. Olsen and Mr. Bliss shared the district’s results. Mr. Bliss also reviewed how groups of students score across a period of three years and how the information can be used to make curriculum decisions. He reported on how Rutland City students match up to the state’s cohort. He said the data causes us to ask questions and look at our programming.

Mr. Olsen said there are alternate ways to use the information to determine if a student has improved. Mr. Bliss said the scaled score, another way the information is reported to us, can give us a better indication for students as the numbers are broken down into 80 levels. Another way to use the scores is to assess programming for the cohort when the a particular group is doing well against the state cohort. Mr. Olsen shared how the NECAP data is used at the building, team, teacher and student levels. Mr. Olson said the high school receives the data from all the sending schools and he explained how they use the data. Ms. Moran said Kevin Browne, a RMS math teacher, does a tremendous job on NECAP data analysis and she thanked him for his work. Mr. Olson said next year’s junior class will be the first group that will have taken the grade 8 NECAP.

Mr. Bliss explained another assessment, the NAEP, which is the only nationwide assessment. Vermont comes in third in the nation on this assessment. He said educators are in a mode of constant improvement. Mr. Bliss showed a slide of Vermont versus The World based upon NAEP scores. Vermont students do very well and have very high standards. Ms. Moran said there had been talk in the past, statewide, if the standards should be lowered but it was decided they should not be. Ms. Moran thanked everyone for the tremendous amount of work involved with putting together this report.

Ms. Gartner asked if there is a way to separate out the scores of City students versus sending school students. Mr. Olson said that data is available. Mr. Bliss said if we want an indication of the K-12 program, the data can be disaggregated in that way. Ms. Moran said the information can also be sent back to the sending schools. Mr. Bliss said there is an annual meeting with the sending towns and that kind of information is discussed: How are their students doing as a comparison? That is the kind of information that allows us to ask questions about curriculum.
There was discussion about the timing of tests, which is determined by the State Department of Education. Scores can be affected based upon timing, for example, if the test is given too early in the season, before a certain course is taught, or during an already stressful time, such as May for juniors. Commissioner Fingon said juniors care more about AP and SAT exams because they have meaning to them. There is no personal motivation with the assessments.  Mr. Olson further explained the cuts and the scaled scores. He said that every student takes the tests, which are paid for by the State Department of Education . There is a local cost in terms of instruction to run the assessment. There is also the time spent on taking the assessments and getting ready for them. There is no reimbursement from the state for that time. Ms. Moran said it is a big job to coordinate test timing. For example, all the high schools in the county try to test at the same time so there is minimal impact on Stafford. Mr. Cooke said there is also coordination needed to ensure that i.e., every third grade in the district gives the same math test at the same time on the same day as each other. Brendan Corsones asked if the cuts were on a curve. Mr. Olson said they are based on the raw scores.

Motion by Forshay/Gartner to approve the Licensed and Non-licensed section of the Personnel Memorandum No. 382 dated March 21, 2008, as recommended by the Superintendent of Schools.

The appointments, retirement, and resignation were reviewed by Superintendent Moran. They are attached. Ms. Moran commended the search teams for yielding wonderful candidates. Mr. Fagan said he is impressed with the two special educator appointments from out of state. Ms. Moran said the internet is also helping to find candidates who want to “come home” to Vermont.

Motion passed by all those in attendance.

Search Committees and Hiring Update - Ms. Moran said by the next meeting, we should be about 95% completed for faculty hiring. There could be a recommendation at the next meeting for a Director of Buildings and Grounds. The Director of Technology search process has begun.

Legislative Report - Ms. Moran said there is a careful watch nationally on funding issues. She complimented everyone in the City who took part in the Judiciary Hearing yesterday. She said it was a positive and heart-warming hearing and the City should be proud.

Community Engagement Committee - Mr. Fagan said the core meeting draft is complete and it will be sent to Board members for discussion at the next board meeting.

Mrs. Sherman read a letter she wrote about Community Engagement. The letter focused on the decision the Board made regarding the funding for the turf at Alumni Field. The letter is attached. Mr. Forshay said he appreciates the counsel and it will be given careful thought in the future.

Mr. Fagan said he went to Music in Our Schools at Keefe Gym and he said it was fabulous. The students played wonderfully and he commended them.

Brendan Corsones said there was a blood drive for the Red Cross at the high school. There were many first time donors and he said the nurse commended the students for their enthusiasm.

Mr. Fingon said Rutland received national press about the Senate Judiciary hearings and he voiced his appreciation for Superintendent Moran’s well-spoken comments at the hearing.

Woodstock Avenue crossing - Ms. Moran said the request to have a sheriff at the Woodstock Avenue crossing is being considered. It could possibly help with the flow of traffic. This is a work in progress with the first step being making sure it would be effective. Ms. Moran said that because Route 4 is a four-lane state highway and is heavily traveled,  it would not be prudent to have a lay person crossing guard.

Food Service - Ms. Moran said Ms. Kilic-Murray had asked about farm food links and a meeting is being coordinated to further the discussion.

Ms. Moran distributed the NEASC schedule to Board members and reminded them of the invitation to the panel discussion at the opening meeting and several other items that day.
