Dear Parents,

A new day is dawning in Dayton Public Schools! You canfeel it. You can see it. You can hear it. We need you tobe part of this new excitement.

We can take pride in our achievements. Highlights of oursuccesses last year include the following:

•Twenty-one of 25 elementary schools made significant improvementin fourth-grade and sixth-grade reading.

•Three schools improved in all 10 academic areas, and one schoolachieved all the state indicators at the sixth-grade level.

•Our fourth-grade reading scores demonstrated the highest rate ofimprovement (125 percentage points) since the test began in 1995.

•Two DPS students achieved nearly perfect scores on the mathematicsportion of the proficiency test.

•DPS has a national merit finalist.

•One DPS senior was among 50 finalists selected nationwide from afield of 100,000 students for the Coca-Cola Share the Dreamscholarship.

•DPS graduates in the Class of 2003 earned $8 million in scholarships.

Our return to basics last year, with an emphasis on reading, paid off, and weare expanding our efforts to mathematics and writing. We directed 60 percent

of last year’s budget to classroom instruction through sound financialmanagement—and, in spite of shrinking education dollars, we will maintainthat same level of commitment during the 2003-2004 school year.

Dayton students can look forward to learning in safe, supportive, up-to-dateschools, thanks to overwhelming voter approval of Issue 4 last November.Passage of our bond issue made DPS eligible for matching funds to rebuildor renovate 34 neighborhood schools at a cost of just 39 cents on the dollar.The state will co-fund 61 cents of every dollar for all state-approvedconstruction throughout our 10-year building project. By 2005, citizens willbegin to see new schools that will serve our students and our neighborhoodsfor generations to come.

It is a privilege for us to educate Dayton’s children. The work is hard andthere is much more to be done, but the progress is rewarding. We lookforward to even greater successes in the year ahead as we continue to sethigh expectations for ourselves and for the children we serve.

Sincerely,

Percy A. Mack, Ph.D.Superintendent,Dayton Public Schoolse-mail: [email protected]
