The Nansemond River Preservation Alliance kicked off a year-long program to teach all 1,100 seventh-grade students about bay ecology, marsh grasses and water quality and oyster biology. This project involves shoreline lab experiments and boat trips into the James River, where students participate

in authentic scientifi c research to assist the Chesapeake Bay revitalization project.

Three Project Lead the Way (PLTW) juniors accepted into the Virginia Aerospace Science and Technology Scholars program. The Virginia Aerospace Science and Technology Scholars (VASTS) program is an interactive online science, technology, engineering and mathematics learning experience, highlighted by a seven-day residential summer academy at NASA Langley Research Center in Hampton.

Oakland Elementary teacher was awarded the National Faye Biles Educational Award by the American Heart Association. She was one of only nine educators honored nationwide, and the only winner of the Faye Biles Educational Award. The award celebrates exemplary PE teachers, school administrators and students who advance the American Heart Association’s mission of “building healthier lives, free of cardiovascular diseases and stroke.”

Thanks to Northrop Grumman sponsorship, two King’s Fork Middle School students attended Space Camp in Huntsville, Alabama. The Space Camp program demonstrates how science and math principles apply to space exploration, and offer students a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to learn fi rst-hand about NASA.

Two Hillpoint Elementary school teachers and a John Yeates Middle School teacher participated in an innovative program designed to change how science is taught across Virginia. The Virginia Initiative for Science Teaching and Achievement (VISTA) program, funded by a $34 million grant from the U.S. Department of Education, is intended to shift science instruction from the traditional teacher-led classroom to a hands-on, problem-based learning lab.

The College Board recognized 18 recent graduates for their outstanding achievement on their Advanced placement (AP) national exams. AP Scholars with Distinction ... 2 from Lakeland High School; AP Scholars with Honor .... 1 from King’s Fork High School and 2 from Nansemond River High School. AP Scholars ... 4 from King’s Fork High School; 2 from Lakeland High School; and 7 from Nansemond River High School.

Two Northern Shores Elementary students received state-level awards in the national Parent Teacher Association creative arts program. The annual program encourages student creativity in the areas of literature, visual arts, photography, music, fi lm, and dance.

Mack Benn Jr. Elementary School was recognized by NASA as one of only twelve NASA Explorer Schools from eleven U.S. states for their contributions to science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) education in the 2012-2013 school year. This year’s focus was demonstrating innovative STEM achievements. Mack Benn was the only school honored in Virginia.

Three high school transition specialists from Nansemond River High, King’s Fork High, and Lakeland High were selected as recipients of the 2013 Virginia Excellence in Education Award for their exemplary three-tiered, school-to-work program for students with special needs.

With respect to the school division budget, which shall include the estimated required local match, such hearing shall be held at least seven days prior to the approval of that budget as prescribed in § 22.1-93. The governing body may adjourn such hearing from time to time. The fact of such notice and hearing shall be entered of record in the minute book. In no event, including school division budgets, shall such preparation, publication and approval be deemed to be an appropriation. No money shall be paid out or become available to be paid out for any contemplated expenditure unless and until there has first been made an annual, semiannual, quarterly or monthly appropriation for such contemplated expenditure by the governing body, except funds appropriated in a county having adopted the county executive form of government, outstanding grants may be carried over for one year without being re-appropriated. 22.1-88.

The estimate shall set up the amount of money deemed to be needed for each major classification prescribed by the Board of Education and such other headings or items as may be necessary. Upon preparing the estimate of the amount of money deemed to be needed during the next fiscal year for the support of the public schools of the school division, each division Superintendent shall also prepare and distribute, within a reasonable time as prescribed by the Board of Education, notification of the estimated average per pupil cost for public education in the school division for the coming school year to each parent, guardian, or other person having control or charge of a child enrolled in the relevant school division, in accordance with the budget estimates provided to the local governing body or bodies.

Page 24: Adopted Budget 2014-2015 - Suffolk City Public Schools · Lorraine B. Skeeter Diane B. Foster ... summer academy at NASA Langley Research Center in Hampton. ... November 7, 2013 Preliminary

Budgeted funds:

Suffolk Public Schools total budget consists of several funds: the Operating Fund, Grants Funds, and Food Services Funds. The Operating Fund is the largest fund and supports the daily operational expenses of the district. The Grants Funds consist of federal, state, and privately funded expenses that are targeted to specific populations of students or services. The Food Services Fund is self- supporting, this means that it does not require local appropriation dollars to operate. The program is designed to provide our students with breakfast and lunch, some on a free or reduced basis.

Note: Increase in Grants Fund due to carry forward budgets not included in previous budget.

INSTRUCTION – REGULAR EDUCATION

The regular program includes the instructional activities for all students (grades K - 12). This program must comply with the State Standards of Quality and Standards of Learning. Instructional personnel and supplies are needed to provide the quality of education set by state standards. The elementary program provides for students in grades Pre-kindergarten through grade 5. The elementary school educational experience enables students to acquire the skills and knowledge necessary for academic success. The middle school program provides for students in grades six through eight. The program is designed to meet the special needs of the pre- and early adolescent students. The major goal of the middle school program is to provide the academic and social experiences that will prepare each student to master the Standards of Learning objectives and will assist him/her in making choices about future programs of studies. The high school program provides for students in grades nine through twelve. This program is designed to enable each student to develop his/her maximum potential for success both during and after high school. Students are encouraged to strive for excellence in acquiring basic skills; developing career decision-making skills; qualifying for further education and work; and participating as a responsible member of society. The program of study is varied and extensive to allow appropriate opportunities for the needs of a diversified student population and the demands of a rapidly changing society.

Strategic Targets:

• To provide a program of studies and activities which provide opportunities for all students to develop knowledge, skills, concepts, habits, and attitudes that will enhance their chances for success in school and work by ensuring the integration of academic and college-career readiness skills

• To provide expanded course offerings needed for student success as related to the new graduation requirements which were adopted to correlate with the accreditation standards and to provide increased academic rigor to the high school program

• To provide pupil-teacher ratios in compliance with state needs and federal guidelines and specific instructional needs

• To continue to improve academic achievement as demonstrated by student performance on the Standards of Learning Assessments and other standardized tests

• To continue to strengthen and improve the quality of parental involvement in the schools • To continue enhancing school-community relations • To continue to update and approve School Board policy • To continue to implement current technology in the administrative and instructional programs

such that technology will be an integrated part of the total school program as is required by the Standards of Learning

• To continue to maintain State and Southern Association Accreditation (Southern Association of Colleges and Schools-Council of Accreditation and school improvement (SACS-CASI))

• To continue emphasis on minority achievement

INSTRUCTIONAL – SPECIAL EDUCATION

The Special Education program includes the specialized instructional activities for both elementary and secondary schools, alternative day programs, private schools, public and private day treatment and residential facilities. There has been significant growth in the general education population of the school division during the current school year and it has been predicted that this growth will continue. During the past several years, the special education population has been approximately twelve percent of the general education population in the City of Suffolk. It is anticipated that there will continue to be commensurate increases in the overall number of students with disabilities, with significant increases in the nature and severity of disabling conditions. This program must comply with Article VIII, Section 1 of the Virginia Constitution; Chapter 13, Article 2, Section 22.1-214 of the Code of Virginia; the Regulations Governing Special Education Programs for Children with Disabilities in Virginia; Standards for Accreditation of Schools in Virginia; Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA); Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act; the Americans with Disabilities Act and the Virginians with Disabilities Act. Instructional personnel, professional development, supplies, adaptive equipment, and assistive technology devices are needed to provide and improve this program for our students with special needs. The term "children with disabilities" means those children, who have not graduated from a secondary school or completed a program approved by the Board of Education and have been evaluated, in accordance with IDEA regulations, as having: autism; deaf-blindness; a developmental delay; an emotional disability; a hearing impairment, which may include deafness; an intellectual disability; a learning disability; multiple disabilities; an orthopedic impairment; other health impairment; a speech or language impairment; a traumatic brain injury; or a visual impairment, which may include blindness; who, because of such impairments, are in need of special education and related services and whose second birthday falls on or before September 30th and who have not reached their twenty-second birthday on or before September 30th. Strategic Targets:

• To comply with the Regulations Governing Special Education Programs for Children with Disabilities in Virginia. This includes maintaining sufficient instructional personnel to meet student-teacher ratios

• To identify, locate and evaluate all children with suspected disabilities, ages 2 to 21 inclusive • To provide specially designed instruction, at no cost to the parents, to meet the unique needs of

all children with disabilities, ages 2 to 21, including classroom instruction in physical education, homebound instruction and instruction in hospitals, institutions and other settings, in conformity with individualized education programs. The term includes instruction in physical education, speech- language pathology and any other required related services, vocational education, and travel (mobility) training

• To support all school division personnel in their efforts to provide an appropriate education for every student with a disability

• To provide properly licensed/trained teachers, therapists, interpreters and support staff according to Virginia Department of Education mandates

INSTRUCTION – GIFTED AND TALENTED

The Gifted and Talented Program is designed to identify students with exceptional academic ability and to provide differentiated services beyond the regular educational program to meet their needs. The program extends from elementary school through high school. In the earlier years, the focus is on enrichment programs to meet the advanced maturity levels of students. As the students progress through elementary and middle school, the lessons are more advanced, planned to support such skills as critical thinking, creative problem-solving, developing independent research skills, and stimulating creativity. In addition, there are opportunities for qualified students to participate in the talented art and talented music programs.

Once students enter high school, they are encouraged to challenge themselves through honors, advanced placement, and dual credit courses. In addition, students meeting application criteria can participate in the International Baccalaureate program, a rigorous curriculum providing exemplary college preparation. Auxiliary programs offered through the Governor’s School provide opportunities for students to enroll in summer academic academies, foreign language immersion programs, and year-long courses designed for the gifted visual and performing arts student.

INSTRUCTION – SUMMER SCHOOL REGULAR

The Summer Program includes instructional activities for students in all schools who are in need of additional remediation. Instructional personnel and supplies, food services, and transportation services are needed to provide and improve this program for our students. In addition to remediation services, the program may also play a significant role in promotion and retention decisions by providing an opportunity for students to complete mastery of Standards of Learning objectives where mastery was not demonstrated during the regular school year. The High school program for grades 9-12 includes repeat and new course offering for students in the high schools. On time Graduation requirements make summer school increasingly important. Summer school offerings will also make it possible for students to attend such programs as the Governor's School and The Pruden Center for Industry and Technology.

Strategic Targets: • To provide a continuous quality, comprehensive instructional program in grades K-5 for

students who did not fully master the Standards of Learning objectives during the regular academic year

• To provide an instructional bridge for those students who need help meeting new academic performance standards. These students will be identified by their failure to demonstrate proficiency on the Standards of Learning as measured by the assessments mandated by the State Standards of Accreditation

• To provide a program of studies and activities which will provide opportunities for all students to develop knowledge, skills, concepts, habits, and attitudes that will enhance their chances for success in education and work

• To provide a means of promotion to the next grade for those students who fail a single core academic subject

• To provide an instructional bridge for those fifth grade students who demonstrate a need for additional assistance in mathematics. These students will be identified by their performance on the fifth grade Standards of Learning mathematics assessments

• To provide an opportunity for students to take required or elective courses, related to the graduation requirements, in order to increase student opportunities for diverse program selection (e.g. Governor's School, The Pruden Center for Industry and Technology…)

• To provide an opportunity for students to repeat courses in which they were not successful during the regular school year such that they are able to remain on the appropriate grade level

School Board Goals & Objectives: Goal #1: Improve Student Achievement and Close the Academic Achievement Gaps

• Provide challenging academic standards for all students as measured by an increase in the number of students reading on grade level by the beginning of grade 3

• Provide quality support services for all student as measured by the number of students receiving appropriate remedial and gifted services in grades K-12

INSTRUCTION – ALTERNATIVE EDUCATION

Alternative education in Suffolk Public Schools has several components. Each component is part of a comprehensive effort to meet the instructional needs of students who may be considering leaving school before graduating because of lack of school-related success. Factors considered in the process of identifying these students include: number of retentions, standardized test performance, age, teacher recommendations, academic achievement, discipline history and psychological information (if available). There are two categories of alternative education: academic and behavioral. Each area has the same ultimate goal – to reduce the number of students dropping out of Suffolk Public Schools. The Alternative Education Program consists of three basic behavioral components: The Behavioral Daytime Alternative School serves those students who have been removed from the regular school environment because of disciplinary infractions other than those involving injury or threat of injury to others. If successful during their assigned tenure, students may return to the regular instructional program within the same academic year. The Tidewater Regional Alternative Education Program is a cooperative effort with five other school divisions in the area. This program serves serious offenders who are returning from state correctional facilities where they had been committed for offenses involving drugs, weapons, or personal assaults. This program may also serve students who have been recommended for long-term suspensions of 90 days or more. There are 4 different types of programs within the Alternative Program available to students: The Self-Contained Middle School Academic Alternative Program is designed to serve over-age fourth and fifth grade students. This program is currently housed at John F. Kennedy, John Yeates, and King's Fork Middle Schools. The Middle School Academic Alternative Program is designed to serve fifth, sixth, and seventh grade students who have failed one subject in an effort to keep students on grade level. This program is currently housed at John F. Kennedy, John Yeates, and King's Fork Middle Schools. The High School Academic Alternative Program is designed to serve over-age seventh and eighth grade students who have failed one or two core subjects in an effort to keep the students on grade level. This program is currently housed at Lakeland, King’s Fork, and Nansemond River High Schools. Work Plus is a cooperative program in which Suffolk Public Schools students are housed and served at the Pruden Center for Industry and Technology. This Program is for high school students (age 17 and above) who have not yet earned five credits.
