District PrioritiesDistrict Priorities
Acknowledge and Respond to Economic Reality while maintaining our focus on
Student Achievement
District Initiatives
◦ Sustainable, research-based programs and services delivered by highly trained staff
Balanced Literacy Initiative (benchmark assessment kits, classroom materials, professional development, etc.)
Differentiated Instruction Initiative (digital online assessment tool,
classroom materials, professional development, etc.)
Strategic Planning
◦ This will be the fourth year of the Strategic Plan.
District Priorities continued…District Priorities continued…
Strategic Planning goals for 2011-20121. Curriculum and Instruction (some budgetary impact)
Full Day Kindergarten - By this June 2011, the committee will select a model that best addresses the research and meets the needs of Little Silver students and present the recommendation to the BOE including budgetary ramifications. If the BOE agrees to pursue full-day Kindergarten, the preschool program will have to be relocated to another area of the building and the facility will necessitate a bathroom. A bathroom construction project could be funded through the district’s Capital Reserve fund.
Global perspectives - Reflect activities pertaining to global perspective in Rubicon Atlas Curriculum Mapping Program (annual subscription fee); Incorporate on-line global projects (possible fee associated with an on-line project); Provide on-line access to news magazines, etc. (subscription cost associated)
Gifted and Talented - With the implementation of the new G&T program comes the annual cost of new testing materials (CogATs – Cognitive Abilities Test); SAGES – Screening Assessment for Gifted Elementary and Middle School Students; and SIGS – Scales for identifying Gifted Students). We also have to train the G&T teachers (cost associated with training). We also have to train all of the teachers who will be working with the cluster groups of students.
2. Safety, Security, and Facilities (some budgetary impact)
Maintenance and Enhancement of Physical Facilities – on-going cost of swipe cards for new employees etc.
Emotional and Physical Safety – on-going cost of before school monitor
District Priorities continued…District Priorities continued…3. Community Engagement (no significant budgetary impact)
Community Involvement – activities involve engaging community members in a variety of capacities but they bear no significant cost.
Provide opportunities for informal social interactions for middle school students in the community (after school/evenings) - activities involve surveying Little Silver students and families but bear no significant cost other than administrative time
4. Finance(potential realized cost savings) Partner with other districts (Shared Services)– continue to seek cost sharing
agreements Facility Rental – evaluate marketing plan to promote facility rental Fee-Based Programs/Camps – further expand our Summer Enrichment Program Athletic Team/Co-Curricular Fundraisers – (temporarily tabled due to economics) Grant Writing – research grant writing opportunities and create data base Alternative Energy – make a decision on a Power Purchase Agreement Current Allocation of Resources – examine current contracts and agreements to
explore potential cost savings Tuition – in addition to promoting our non-resident tuition policy, consider
allocating budgetary resources to enhance existing programs (i.e. LLD special education programs) to meet the needs of students from other districts to attract tuition students. Enhancements may also be used to prevent Little Silver students from requiring out0of-district placements.
