funding that was provided last year I have two products to show Ed for a child to have their poetry published and for everybody else to read that giddy as a career for that so it makes a huge difference  you are a partners in excellence we want to percent the state of the district so but at the same time this year the theme for the school year is celebrating the possibilities where we've been and where we are now and how the sky is the limit based on statement and vision statement that many of you contribute it so that today we are aligned to our mission placement is what we found what we were celebrating the possibility of even since last year's every time we meet at the staff at the campuses we always take stock of even those small victories even a child turning in an assignment that had a child never been able to do that but if the help up tutorials and everything else the programs that have been available are struggling student stepping up to the plate and that was not seen before  I wish had to be revised slashgear and the task that was given to me and the time that he and I sisters who pretend it was work with committee because the mission statement that we had did not 1% the culture of our district and where we going to be on the committee work and I'll timidly bring into our school board we were able to come up with a mission statement that really reflects the city and the school district of kisd and of course our mission statement to provide a safe environment but also one day six challenging in educational Endeavors but with the collaboration of Community Partnerships because we get the call from the University from the Naval base from the city from the different community members how can we help and we told our campuses and we said give us a list of all those people that are making a difference sing contributing to the success of our campuses and guess what so many commonalities and when they sent that to us that's what we were able to send out invitations and say we need to be grateful to our part and show to you our gratitude Michael breakfast also presenting the state of the district because we cannot we could never accomplish what we have accomplished without and your support with your collaboration we will Empower our students to achieve future sabbatical that's why you are our partners in excellence rapper gets practices 21st century learning skills in the classroom where we're teaching children to collaborate to communicate creativity that's where we're headed and every day we practice today we learned and within the next 5 minutes children art meaning  the children are making presentation because EOS are telling us  it's naughty never children to learn basic skills to learn the skills to work as teams they say when they come I hear associate degree at for college on Masters or doctorate we cannot teach him how to work in a team collaboration that happen in pre-k 4 so we are online play for Century learning skills.  We have to keep it simple  academic enrollment and attendance  we have to make sure that all of our staff knows exactly the plan to get there if not there will be an execution Gap and we cannot afford that so our plans as a district Improvement campus Improvement plan we are Focus delete priority and he turns her because she's Memphis works as a professional learning where are teachers playing collaboratively they have professional development session and their job embedded where skills and strategies are covered on a daily basis and also the other idea is assessment for learning stop when we provide every two weeks assessment how are the children doing those that need and Richmond we go beyond those that knee a little bit of more work on mastering the objectives that we provide that more learning time with enrollment we knew there was a perception the state data came back four years ago we lost four hundred students why because our state in 2012 2014 we have been operating on a little sister says 2006 the funky dead Publix is the sink Fundy the weirdest First Years Later think of inflation how the economy has changed the generation of  now have to provide for technology all of that makes a difference so we have to cognitive of that school districts around the area develop with the we called open enrollment and they started recruiting from other districts and that it it's like with the funding we have we need more enrollment and they started taking from one and next week a honesty decided we were not going to do that we are not in open enrollment campus if students want to come in then give him an opportunity we take it to the board and we get approval but we don't open it after the message  edema wish you could provide quality services to our residents and anybody else that would like to come in then we can take it on a person basic but we know that we also have to look at perception there was some configuration we had primary schools with the intermediate school and when  the inspiration was done we had early grade's teachers teaching intermediate great and so far so we need to be professional development equilibrium  our accountability was not there but let me tell you within 2 years and it was because of the support that you giving us the hard work of our administrators and the teachers in the front line Kathy leaving in us so you're going to see that day down also we continue to build a partnership and you stupid turned it and you beat dinner  fun day we had to think about okay the state is taking time Redemptive the school Finance system from the Supreme Court so we're having to wait but what are we going to do in between  we have to take a are we close look because you lost 300 students still have the same same number of positions so we have to think back and go get a Christian nobody loses jobs and so forth but also we need to make sure that we increase teacher and staff morale and reward them for their hard work so as we lost positions to wear  then we needed to make sure that our salaries were competitive and our school board stood behind and we have been able to do that and he'll give you more details in terms of attendance we knew that our curriculum has to be relevant to be what's your book children into coming to school make it relevant and fight for them and also meet their educational me so data driven instruction we are able to progress monitor celebrate the successes that our students are accomplishing who's that need extra attention for the last two years could be providing extra meeting time  add before and even Saturday tutoring but we make it fun weather in Kansas 04 what are teachers that are administrators acrobatics the state told us that for this year we would be losing from 85 to 100 students that's their projection based on past history but we came together as a school district and we decided that is not going to happen  so we went started talking about the great things are happening at kids you can sync from third the blue star hit the last year Week 1 at 30 375 3075 student at the beginning of the school year in 1415 which started with 3393 so it's you can say we have that huge jump what is we continue your able to see that he had anywhere from 80 to 28 students and so for now almost there the important thing is that we got our children early because what was happening is open enrollment School October 3rd  the children that are there at their schools those are the ones that Tia is going to judge accountability when they're so what was happening in the  they're not making the grade go back to your school district well this year our students came back from the very beginning must be doing something right so if you can see steady pattern and not in January says we are partnering with Headstart they are coming and setting up two classrooms at Claiborne Elementary in our facility pictures at the same time our teachers are going to be collaborating with them it's when when they're going to say facility and those children are going to be duly enrolled and one of her teachers will be reading and the mathematics instruction to be able to make a smooth transition this is what the state called School Readiness integration Ma when I was in the previous District it took us five years to get to that point when we collaborated with Headstart they roll out the Red Carpet Inn when can you get started so we are starting that at Kleberg Elementary then there's another Center that there's about seven more kids then that's going to be our next project so as you can see and we're also getting calls from other school districts how can we collaborate with you in some of your programming  the accountability rating from the state date of service in third and fourth grade in the elementary Reading mathematics and writing and like I told you summer schools had not met the standard and we are here to tell you that Kleberg Elementary State accountability ratings for third grade reading 4th grade reading and math 4th grade writing and OT assessment in the elementary so where is Kleberg Elementary represented Beatrice you should have seen them they came up and they had an army camp with all the camouflage and the children got too early for all the milestones and objectives and they were mastering and this one as well month right before the assessment and the kids were ready to go safest and received Extinction designation Noah's Ark  Derek received those two ringing in back and another star in top 25% closing performance gas the state will pair an LMA you can't fish with other campuses in the steak and compare that they want to talk border  and they're also same postsecondary readiness  bet they are getting ready for College and Career so where is Terrell Elementary represented Barbie Elementary distinction definition which are also three star in Reading any LA and top 25% topwater where is Harvey Elementary say something if I barely met top 25 stockholder for closing performance gas and post secondary reading at the schools can get a five stars if they got all of the fights and let it go you Harvey and Harold Gillett intermediate standard answer Pass Temple of the indexes above the target scores where is gillette's Memorial Middle School math standard by also surpassed and several indexes above the target scores Memorial HMK high school day surpass Target several index is above the targets course they were two points Below in the economic disadvantage group status because 400 parents did not complete the lunch sew a lot did pass the assessment but we couldn't count them so what they did this year is that they would hood and they reduce that only a hundred they got 300 more applications this year and they have next year going to get a hundred of those applications so where is ancient aliens how much more to celebrate about okay because near me Reflex on how prepared are H&K students are in the area of sports they have become District is football for three years in a row and they were also TV band of the year what that's great I am sobriety basic skills UIL champions the row in academics and they got things to do now you are above and beyond that is a distinction very difficult so hats off to Patient a also over an H&K we can stand until you we are the only early kind heart Early College High School Destin aided by TA in the city of Houston weather school districts students in junior senior year enrolled in dual-credit posted but no fresh permission to do that second you  and most of those early college high schools have a force of a hundred student whose. Have probably not have a college degree we apply for the Early College High School we they try to discourage us because our application we said a very who is good for one child it should be good for all children all of our children to have the opportunity to be able to RT 60 hours thereafter  just very few of those there was a lot of requirements and so forth so we partner with Texas A&M University postal beds that raise up and lo and behold we did get the expected so right now that's not her but our freshmen are receiving some dual enrollment courses and the pathway that we created is a very sound because we are starting them with college readiness course with a Communications course something that is going to be excited for students but we get a college credit on the transcript and that would mean the world to them we have our teachers there University twice a week but art are there to follow up 5 days a week to make sure that our students are successful and have the support because we're not going to put down the college curriculum so that those horses are just as rigorous as the forces so that's what the destination did for us setting the standard are surrounded next  but that's okay call it ready this indicate the recorded state for seniors once 2 years behind so the results of this year for college readiness indicators there are three types of diplomas that should children could graduate with the distinguished achievement the recommended or the minimum graduating with a minimum diploma never be accepted in a college or university so we could make in our students to talk so as you can see recommended or distinguished achievement diploma those students that did not are the students that for some reason they have an IEP to special education or so short but also training them to get other types of certification so that they will still be able to make a living the state is 80.5 if you can huge difference the region comparison is 77.4 did you know that  in horses and Jewel enrollment completion the horses that are taking at the college or university HMK percent 33.9 the region of 27.4 and the state and 30 we are still meeting and now we're already potty time steps at number to mushroom  advanced placement those are honors courses are students are at Woody 2.2% the region at 4 toys you can see who's got our teachers are working hard our families are supporting our children so our community members we couldn't do this without you so again thank you Early College High School we have partnered with Coastal bed associate applied arts and science associates degree in nursing accounting Automotive salon on University missionary free health science and free veterinarian with the new cohort of 9th graders we are working with a four-course this with postal and then after that once they have the poor they will be able to enroll with Texas A&M Community Partners that we hack course Coastal Bend College Blake  it for diesel mechanic and was wanting to recruit a group of students that can do that also we were talking to Coastal Bend they're trying to get in and guess certification first  is The Graduate or any $40 an hour  what we want to do for they will be able to have a career be able to raise the family  also in terms of our finances for the last few years through the financial Integrity resource system that the Texas Education Agency  dust the balances we have received a gravy a superior achievement and this has happened for several years in a row and of course the report is few years up prior to but what we saw even last year with our preliminary projection we have a superior rating what does that mean that we have sound financial practices reschedule we talked about being competitive  in 1213 the beginning teachers were already 30 mm that was difficult to recruit highly qualified teachers especially in the areas of science method Man Haitian castle for in 3014 Fort mckavett and supported that teacher beginning teachers should receive a $36,000 salary increase  and this past school year 38250 so now we're in a point where we can compete and we believe that this has I'm around and his reward it or teachers for their heart and rooms  so what are we doing to continue with continuous Improvement we have developed out this weekend perfect campus Improvement class they happy percent where in October November and they have been implementing those plans because we know  the sky we have not got there yet we know we can do a lot more so our teachers are going to let me call teachers to be used with teachers and they are aligning their curriculum to death of knowledge for it is no longer is for children to just be memorizing fax but it has to be and justifying quieter applying those heels so that is the reason why our teachers are working with that curriculum alignment we've also known that most of her students are doing willing and habits cuz you were able to see and in extracurricular activities but there's always say 5 to 10% of students that need extra attention and support so we are launching our achievement Reaper add last week we met with Community organizations and were asking them to partner with Community Schools kisd over at the high school. Already started a program for 23 students that are fresh and for some reason behind they may not have the leadership skills conflict resolution and so forth and that's happening during lunch time the children are also recovering credit and the Linda Sanchez our PR specialist has packets of information that you can take back to your staff and promote our mentoring program and we believe that we are
