20. Did the cooperative prevent additional purchases by new members that would materially change the volume of goods or services estimated in the original invitation for bids/request for proposals?

HUSD sent out a survey to all cooperative members who would like to potentially use the contract. Estimated volume of expenditure is approximately $516,000.00 based on the response received. It is unlikely that the use of this contract by additional/new members would materially change the volume of goods or services.

Because of considerations on these pages, it is in the best interest of the District and beneficial to use a cooperative contract rather than issuing one with our staff. All relevant factors above were taken into consideration in order to make this decision. It was determined that the contract is in substantial compliance and approval to use is recommended.

The Gilbert Chamber of Commerce established the Chamber for Good Initiative, which is a national effort to connect local donors to local charities serving local needs. Any Gilbert non-profit can register for free and use the website at no charge. This gives them access to volunteers and donors who have also registered on the site. They receive updates about the needs that non-profits post. He asked HUSD to participate by registering as a non-profit to post volunteer and donation needs and opportunities. Also students and staff that are looking for service opportunities can find them on the site.

8.0 OLD BUSINESS 9.0 ACTION AND INFORMATION ITEMS 9.1 Information: Overview of Young Ambassador Program at Centennial Elementary Dr. Nance introduced Mrs. Debbie Ybarra, Principal of Centennial Elementary School, who introduced their Young Ambassadors Program. Teachers Jennifer Hawks and Denise Kotlarz, introduced three Young Ambassadors who explained this leadership program. They gave an overview, shared how students are chosen, and how they serve as ambassadors. Ambassadors are in 4th, 5th, and 6th grades. This is the first year for ACT 212 represents students doing the right thing in demonstrating Academic achievement, great Character, while supporting and building the Traditions that make up Centennial. These children are those that show kindness, respect, good manners, and those who are courteous. ACT 212 is derived from the idea that the difference between water boiling at 212 degrees and water being hot at 211 degrees is simply a matter of going the extra degree, like the students do at Centennial. 9.2 Information: Monthly Governing Board Financial Report for March 2015 Laura Smith, Financial Consultant, introduced the Shannon Duus, the new Finance Director. They presented the monthly financial report for March 2015. There were not board comments. 9.3 Overview of Administrative Benefits and Pay for Performance (PFP) Mrs. Sorenson presented a slide show review of the administrative benefits and pay for performance for 2015-16. To remain competitive with other districts, benefits have been a part of recruiting and hiring administrators. HUSD has lost administrators, who have taken teachers and staff members with them to neighboring districts. Mrs. Sorenson explained how some districts structure salaries. Salary comparisons showed the percent of teacher salary from stipends to be 16% of their salary with the average teacher with stipends at 10%. Administrator salary from stipends is 8%. The proposed decreases for 2015-16 are a concern in that HUSD could lose a competitive edge. While we are reducing, the competition is giving 2-3.5% base salary increases across their districts and credit for advanced degrees, as well as longevity. 9.4 Second Read and Approve Amendment of Policy IE – Organization of Instruction Mrs. Whitener made a motion to second read and approve the amendment of Policy IE – Organization of Instruction.

Arizona’s Measurement of Educational Readiness to Inform Teaching

An Update

Dr. Anna McCauley, Director of Research and Assessment – Higley Unified School District

What we know now…

▪ AzMERIT has a test blueprint developed by Arizona▪ The first administration of AzMERIT includes test items from multiple existing item banks

▪ In January, all AzMERIT items were reviewed and approved by a committee of more than 90 Arizona educators to confirm alignment and appropriateness for inclusion in the test

What we know now continued…

▪ Standard‐setting will occur in July▪ Results will be available in October or November▪ Results will be publicly available on date TBD▪ While A‐F Labels are suspended for 3 years, federal accountability designations will still be in effect (more information to follow)

The Higley Experience

▪ A shout‐out to the incredible Higley IT staff, who diligently worked to make sure all technology equipment was fully functional, allowing teachers to focus on proper administration rather than troubleshooting

▪ Due to the outstanding team of administrators, support and IT staff, all HUSD schools successfully completed testing

▪ Anecdotal reports that: ▪ AIR platform was user‐friendly and easy to use▪ Teachers and students prefer online modality to paper‐and‐pencil

▪ Teachers felt less stress by spreading testing out over six weeks rather than cramming it all in within 3 days

Challenge Ahead: What Is Passing?

▪ Cut points for passing and other performance levels to be set this summer

▪ Passing will likely indicate college and career readiness

Transition Proficiency Gap

▪ To begin, please remember, prior year performance levels cannot be compared

▪ In addition to assessing the new standards adopted in 2010 for the first time, Arizona may adopt a new definition for proficiency, thereby changing what it means to “meet” or “exceed” the standards


▪ If the state adopts higher expectations on what is expected to be a more rigorous assessment, students who “met” standards in previous years but were not close to exceeding them will have to improve their achievement by a considerable degree to meet potential higher expectations

▪ Even students approaching the threshold for exceeding the standards will have to improve their achievement by a degree above what is typical for them to meet potential higher expectations.


▪ For example, imagine an assessment that measured students on their jumping ability. In prior years, we may have told a student he jumped high enough and long enough, but now with a more rigorous assessment with higher expectations for performance, the same student will now have to improve his high jump and long jump in addition to now being required to perform a triple jump and a pole vault before we can determine high enough and long enough

Performance Gap in Transition Year

▪ As expected, other states measuring new standards in the transition year experienced drops in the percent of students “meeting” the standards

▪ Moreover, similar declines in proficiency rates occurred in states where standards remained the same, but cut scores for proficiency were adjusted to simulate rigor

Performance Gap in Transition Year

▪ In New York, for example, cut scores determining proficiency on ELA and math assessments in grades 3‐8 were increased in 2010, resulting in 24% fewer students achieving proficiency status in that and in subsequent years

▪ In 2012, New York transitioned, again, to measure the new standards▪ Arizona did not have a graduated transition

▪ Figures 1 and 2 demonstrates the change in performance in grades 3‐8 on state ELA assessments in transition years

The Percent Passing Will Drop … …and that is a good thing

▪ The drop will likely produce the following outcomes:▪ Higher expectations ▪ More options and opportunities for students and a brighter future

▪ The drop will not indicate that students, teachers and schools are failures▪ Maintaining the same passing rate would indicate we really have not raised our expectations

▪ By the way, early indications from other states show that students and schools are rising to these new expectations and the percent of students mastering the new expectations are increasing

Agenda Item 9.3 ISSUE: Arizona School Boards Association is asking Governing Boards to submit their proposed legislative items by May 29, 2015. The board will discuss their choice in a work study prior to the May 27th board meeting and vote on their proposal at that meeting. Below is the ASBA memo. MEMO TO: GOVERNING BOARD MEMBERS AND SUPERINTENDENTS

FROM: ANNE GREENBERG, Legislative Committee Chair

It has been a pleasure to serve as your Legislative Chair the last two years as we streamlined the Delegate Assembly process and created a more focused Political Agenda. I’m honored to be asked to serve again in the role of Legislative Committee Chair this year.

Your input to the Legislative Committee is critical. Once again, we are asking for issues that fall into three categories – long-term (out to 10 years), short-term (3 to 5 years), and 2016 Session-specific legislation. Once submitted, these proposals will be compiled by staff and provided to the ASBA Legislative Committee for consideration. The Committee will then create a draft document that will be circulated to all governing boards and superintendents. This draft agenda will be the basis for discussion and final approval at the official Delegate Assembly on Saturday, September 12th. The timeline is as follows:

Friday, May 29th – Proposed Items Due Friday June 5th – Legislative Committee meets Week of June 22nd – Legislative Committee Recommendations sent to all governing board

members and superintendents Saturday, September 12th – Delegate Assembly (will be in the morning and follow the Law

Conference) Friday, November 13th – ASBA/AASBO/ASA Legislative Workshop

The current 2015 Political Agenda can be found at: http://www.azsba.org/wp-content/uploads/2014/09/2015_ASBA_Political_Agenda_2-sided.pdf. Please find attached

a sample form that will allow you to submit issues of importance in three categories – long-term, short-term, and 2016 Session-specific. You do not need to include issues for all three if something isn’t applicable for your district. As a reminder, you should schedule this item on an upcoming Board agenda for discussion, as any items submitted must reflect the collective will of the Board. These proposals are due by the close of business on Friday, May 29, 2015. As you are aware, the 2015 Delegate Assembly will determine the positions of the Arizona School Boards Association for any future Special Sessions of the current legislature and for the Second Regular Session of the Fifty-Second Legislature. Your board not only has the opportunity to help craft ASBA’s advocacy stances with the submission of your proposals, but by registering your district’s delegate. Your delegate will represent your district at the Delegate Assembly, a critical policy-determining meeting where the views of your district can be represented and discussed. The Delegate Assembly will be held on Saturday, September 12th at The Camelback Inn. _________________________________________________________________________________
