RE: Board of Education Principal’s Report

Date: March 24, 2014

Dear Board of Education,

Due to the many happenings going on in the Savona building, I wanted to submit a comprehensive report to you for this BOE meeting.

Savona Town Board and Five Year Plan- In December our students in 5-12th

grade helped out the Savona Town Board by

completing a survey regarding a student’s view of what they would want to happen to grow the town of Savona. The

students shared their vision of the town and surrounding area. On March 5th

, the town of Savona held an open public meeting

to discuss the result of the survey. I have attached a pdf of the full presentation in the email from Mrs. Costa with the BOE

packet, but wanted to also share some of the basic data points in the survey. Overall our students:

Favorite Things: the community, library King’s natural beauty, sports, park, chance to be involved. It is

also interesting that our students have a definitive love of nature and preserving their natural surroundings.

Least Favorite Things: Not much to do, run-down homes and building, don’t always feel safe, busy roads.

What They Would Build: Dog part, picnic area, gym, skate park, ice skating rink, gaming area, place for

kids to hang out, dance studio, pool, stage or theatre, better park , nature center, nature trail, garden, new

restaurants.

I would also recommend the Board reading through the entire presentation as it has very relevant data regarding the

surrounding area in regards to population, economic, and environmental trends. I found it very eye opening as to the make-

up of our area! Being a part of this committee has also been an effective way for me to get to know the community and find

ways for the school to support the community.

Full-Day Prekindergarten – Transition into the program has gone incredibly smooth! Mrs. Fishbaugh and Ms. Sutphen are

doing an incredible job and the students are having a great time! Our PreK information night is on March 20th

where we will

be, for the first time, introducing incoming PreK students with a full-day program! It is also important to note that

throughout this process Mrs. Makowiec and I have been meeting with Pro-Action to align our programs as much as possible

to allow for the closest possible experience from the two programs. We have good ideas moving forward and I can’t wait to

see the program grow!

Math and Science Night- Along with the Junior High STEAM night, the elementary is planning their second annual Math

and Science night. Last year was a wonderful success and we are hoping to build on it this year by bringing in a real scientist

from the Science center and also Hunt engineering will be sending two architects and engineers to run a booth for families to

participate in! This is also a great night to say “thank you” to our PTO as the teachers and administration run this night so

that the PTO and their families can fully participate.

Second Grade Play and Upcoming Chorus Concerts – On March 28th

, Mrs. Schwartz will be leading the second grade

class in play called “The Lion and the Mouse”. Our students will not only be performing, but the entire intermediate level

children will participate in a workshop led by Nana Kwasi Anim who is a professional African dancer, drummer, instructor

and choreographer that will connect to the music of the play and for the upcoming concerts on June 6th

. At the concert the 6th

grade choir will be performing a piece called “Ubuntu” that celebrates the human spirit and focuses on people’s allegiances

and relationships with each other. In a nutshell it means “A person is a person through other people”. This will be an

incredible art and music experience for our students! We also have the 5-12 Band concert coming up on March 25th

at

7:00pm in the high school auditorium.

Philanthropy and Dreams – Our Character Club and other hand-picked students have been volunteering their time to help

community members in need. Mrs. Makowiec, Mrs. Presher and Mrs. Taft have been taking children out to shovel snow,

walk dogs, stack firewood, and even read to the elderly! Talk about building ROAR character! We have also had all of our

children in create their own goal to attain before the end of the year and will be hanging them up throughout the school to

show that we are dreams that do…

CAMPBELL-SAVONA CENTRAL SCHOOL

CAMPBELL, NEW YORK

March 24, 2014

TO: Board of Education

FROM: Kathy Hagenbuch, Superintendent

SUBJECT: New York State Testing Program- CSCSD Procedures for Refusals on State Exams

Pertinent Information

There has been a movement around the state and in our GST BOCES region by some parents to

advocate for their right as parents to have their children “opt-out” of the New York State Testing

Program ELA and Math exams at grades 3-8. This movement has gained publicity through the

traditional media, i.e. a recent opt-ed in The Leader, and also on social media. Parent groups in the area

have also distributed flyers advocating with their fellow parents to “opt-out” of the testing program.

Evaluation/Analysis

As a public school there is not an option for us to allow students to opt-out of state exams and in fact

there are no provisions for “opting out” of the test in the testing manuals, only procedures for what to do

if a child refuses to take the tests.

There are many reason why we must test our students, the most fundamental being all public school are

required by federal governmental regulations to test at least 95% of a cohort/class of students. If a

district fails to test 95% of a cohort/class of students, the procedure in past years has been for the State

to place the district on a “needs improvement” list for three years. This requires the district to develop a

plan for addressing the deficiency and also to “set aside” 15% of the federal Title I grant to address this

deficiency.

The second major reason a district needs to administer tests is for the benefit of both the individual

student and the program. We do get back a good deal of standards based information on how individual

students did and also how our program performed. Student data is used to help address areas that a

student did poorly on. The data is also very helpful for us as we look across each grade level’s programs.

We look to see what skills our students performed at or above the state and regional average on and

what skills our students performed below the state and regional average on. Of course we use this

performance data to improve our program for the next year.

A final rationale for administering the exam is that teacher and principal APPR scores are tied to student

growth data on state exams. A student who refuses to take the exam unfairly deprives her/his teacher and

principal of that student’s growth score for the year.

To date, the District has not received any inquiries or formal requests from parents to opt-out of any

state tests. However, we need to be proactive in terms of how to manage this situation should it happen

and so have put together procedures should the situation arise, see attached chart.

The Board should be aware that some area districts have decided to provide an alternate location and

activity for students whose parents have directed their children to refuse to take the tests. This is a local

decision and in fact C-S could choose to do the same. However, we believe this could lead to a

significant problem for us as providing an alternate location and activity at some levels rewards non-

participation which may encourage other students to ask their parents to allow them to “opt out”.

Recommendation

Test administration procedures do not require Board action. However I wanted to consult with the Board

on such a sensitive issue. As you will note in the attached chart, our plan is to administer the test to all

students who report to school on the testing day or during the make-up period. A child who refuses will

remain in the testing room with the test in front of her/him until the first student finishes the exam. At

that time the student who refused may begin reading a book as our procedure has always been to allow

students to read once they finish the exam.

District: CAMPBELL-SAVONA CSD

Receipt of Letters What will your district’s action when you receive a letter requesting to opt out of state tests?

Make a contact with parent/attempt to meet with them in person in order to understand their concerns and to explain rationale for state testing

Students Absent During 3-8 Testing

If a student is kept home during the original testing days, do you intend to put the test in front of the student in the make-up window?

yes

If you intend to give the student the test during the make-up window, will you be notifying the parents that this would happen?

yes

Students Present During Testing

Who Requested To “Opt Out”

If a student comes to school on the days of 3-8 testing, but has requested to “opt out”, what will you do with the student?

Require s/he sit with test in testing location silently until first student taking test is finished and is therefore permitted to take out a book to read. At that time the student who refused may take out a book to read.

If you intend to provide an alternative activity for these students, what will it be?

N/A

If you intend to have them stay in the testing room, at what point will you collect their tests?

At the time the first student finishes.

Do you intend to allow students to read after their tests are collected?

yes

Principals/Proctors How are you preparing your principals? Proctors? Principals? Share information from H+S …discuss what and how to communicate with parents should a request be made and also specifics of proctor communication Proctors? Basically the above procedures along with need to take care that no direction or interactions with student refusing could be perceived as negative or judgmental

Out of District Students

How will you handle these requests from out of district students?

No difference this year but student would be denied enrollment next year as participation in the NYSTP 3-8 ELA and Math tests is required on non-resident contract

PTA Some PTAs are distributing information about opting out. How are you handling this?

Our groups have been supportive to date.
