3. Describe the reasons for the request(s).

Campus Community School was founded in 1998 and at that time Wesley College

provided a free facility and access to a gymnasium, cafeteria, library and additional office

space. After four years, CCS expanded to include grades 9-12 and provide a small college

prep high school in the Dover community. In 2009 Wesley College unveiled a “Campus

Master Plan” that included the closure of Bradford Street (the street upon which CCS is

located) and notice was given to CCS to vacate the building as of June 2012. For the

better part of the two years since that notice the Campus Community Board and

Administration has worked to find another location for the elementary/middle school.

Multiple locations were considered, collaboration with community partners and

foundations was fully explored and negotiations with Wesley College were attempted.

Ultimately, as a result of the options found in the search and the financial analysis done by

our Board of Directors, we came to the difficult yet sound business decision that the only

viable option was to reconfigure our grades and eliminate the high school program. The

high school program has always been financially supported by the elementary/middle

school revenue, as are many high schools; however this was only possible due to the free

space. Without major capital funding for Charter Schools in Delaware it has become

financially impossible in our view to run a small, comprehensive, charter high school

program.

As a part of our reconfiguration we also propose to add Kindergarten. This has been a

goal of the school’s since just a few years into the charter’s existence however space

prohibited us from expansion. Within the Pear Street facility we expect to have space for

two Kindergarten classes. In addition, the lack of Kindergarten has proven to have a

detrimental effect on marketability of our first grade program. Many families left the

private or home preschool setting to attend a local public Kindergarten and many times

those students seemed to stay through first grade. After first grade we have typically seen

many of those families seeking out Campus Community as an option. Having our own

Kindergarten will provide this first step into our curriculum and instructional approach

and we believe this will have a profound impact on the academic, social and emotional

success of our students.

Campus Community has also historically enrolled a larger percentage of 8th

grade students

in an effort to provide a consistent stream of high school students. Within the Kent

County area, high school options are varied, and not all of our 1-7 students were best

Page 8: DELAWARE DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION CHARTER ......In 2009 Wesley College unveiled a “Campus Master Plan” that included the closure of Bradford Street (the street upon which CCS is

served by staying at Campus Community High School. While our high school provides

excellent opportunities including dual enrollment, service learning and a close knit

community with significant personalized attention, some students were looking for a

different approach or opportunity. A percentage of those students always chose to pursue

a tech school, private school or comprehensive high school option.

With the reconfiguration, as planned, we expect to see a surplus of funds that will allow us

to improve upon a program that already has strong components. We have a population

with increasing numbers living below the poverty line, needing special education services

and, complicated social and emotional considerations. This reconfiguration will allow the

administration, faculty and staff to better focus their efforts and for new positions to be

added that will enhance the program and ultimately our support of the children whose

families choose Campus Community School as their school of choice.

4. Describe the changes in the operation of the school that will be impacted by the

proposed modification(s). Indicate how the staffing, facilities, and financial

viability of the school maybe impacted in the current school year and in

subsequent school years by each term which the school proposes to modify.

Staffing:

Current School Year: We expect, and have already seen, some attrition due to the

instability of positions for high school certified teachers. In order to mitigate that loss we

intend to provide a clear, fair process for personnel decisions wherever there may be

competition for a position within the newly configured school. We are also offering many

opportunities for all faculty and staff to be fully engaged in planning for the new program

so that all stakeholders are given a voice. The possibility for new positions also exists

within the new configuration and as soon as possible we look to make those known so that

we can retain the most qualified and effective faculty as we move forward.

Subsequent School Years: Next year we will have to determine the staffing necessary

for the transition program and hire or retain those teachers. Additionally, we will look to

hire two Kindergarten teachers and two instructional support staff members.

Administrative responsibilities will likely shift again slightly however most of the changes

made this year will still be relevant in the coming years.

Facilities:

Current School Year: We will continue to occupy both 21 N. Bradford Street and 350

Pear Street until the end of July 2012. We will work with architects and contractors to

complete necessary renovations on the Pear Street facility prior to August 2012. A

building committee including Board representation, parents, teachers and administrators

have been, and will continue to meet, on a monthly basis to complete all of the necessary

planning for the transition.

Subsequent School Years: Grades K-8 will occupy the current high school building at

350 Pear Street. Future growth opportunities exist within the back portion of the facility

and Campus Community will continue to work with the City of Dover (current owner of

that space) to eventually secure space for either increased enrollment or athletic/academic

expansion. Campus Community will also continue to own and utilize the soccer field on

Page 9: DELAWARE DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION CHARTER ......In 2009 Wesley College unveiled a “Campus Master Plan” that included the closure of Bradford Street (the street upon which CCS is

9

Cecil Street, just around the corner from the high school.

Financial Viability: Each year since the high school has been in operation it has been

subsidized by the revenue of the elementary and middle school. In the most recent

financial analysis, the high school program was in the negative $212,488.00 annually from

the whole school budget. With a free facility on the college campus we could manage that

shortfall but without an equivalent solution the school is in a much better financial

position as just a K-8. The programs necessary to implement a comprehensive high

school program are costly and the additional faculty needed to meet the curricular needs of

a diverse student body created a scenario where the revenue earned didn’t support the

necessary expenses. A K-8 program, as designed in our modification, is expected to run

with a 5% surplus that will be able to be put back into the program to better support the

needs of the children. The 5% includes the 2% contingency to best meet any future

capital or operational needs.

Current Year: The current year revenue is expected to meet our budgeted expenses and

turn a reasonable surplus of 133,500.00. Additional expenses will be incurred as a result

of the renovation and moving costs and those expenses are expected to be paid out of a

portion of our accumulated surplus of ~$800,000.

Subsequent School Years: Next year, CCS will operate with an expected surplus and

will utilize a portion of our accumulated savings to fund the shortfall in the junior

transition program. Otherwise the school expects to operate with an annual surplus of 5%.

2% of that surplus will be invested back into the program to support the academic, social

and emotional needs of our students.

5. If appropriate, describe how student achievement may be impacted by the

proposed modification(s).

We expect that several of the modified terms will have the potential to positively impact

student achievement:

Improved Facilities

With the move from Longwood Hall to our existing facility on Pear Street,

students in the elementary and middle school will see a significant upgrade in

facilities. With bigger classrooms, brighter lighting, improved technology, and

improved overall cleanliness and general condition of the space we believe

children will be given a better opportunity to meet their educational needs. This

facility change also provides easier access and parking for parents. While we have

enjoyed a high level of parent participation we expect to see increases due to the

removal of parking and access issues. The Pear Street facility also has its own

cafeteria and gymnasium. Having those facilities in separate buildings on

Wesley’s campus led to lost instructional time.

Addition of Kindergarten

Adding Kindergarten to our program will provide for a more contiguous program.

We currently enroll first grade students from many different preschool and

kindergarten programs and miss the opportunity to acclimate children and their

Page 10: DELAWARE DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION CHARTER ......In 2009 Wesley College unveiled a “Campus Master Plan” that included the closure of Bradford Street (the street upon which CCS is

10

families to our instructional approach and school community during this important

transitional year. We expect that with the first year of statewide assessment in the

second grade, having an additional year with our students will improve student

achievement. Additionally, engaging kindergarten parents will be an important

addition to our already strong parental involvement. These eager parents in the

first year of their child’s school experience will have multiple opportunities to

engage in their child’s education and become a part of the CCS family. We have

found that the sooner we get parents involved the more likely that involvement is

to have a positive impact on their child’s education.

Stabilization of enrollment across grade levels

The influx of a large number of 8th

grade students each year tended to have a

negative impact on student achievement. Many of these students were

underperforming in their previous schools, and although they made significant

progress at Campus, that change took time and in the meantime that transition took

a toll on our state test scores in 8th

, 9th

and even 10th

. We believe that a more

balanced enrollment, as proposed in our modification, will provide for a more

stable student body and increased student achievement. We will not continue a

pattern of bringing in a large group of 8th

grade students.

Surplus revenue targeted for programmatic changes related to student achievement

With an expected surplus of 5% CCS plans to explore multiple programmatic

changes aimed at increasing student performance. The entire faculty will engage

in a planning session on January 24th

to brainstorm options. Some suggestions

being given serious consideration are:

o Increased instructional staff targeted in subjects where achievement levels

are below target

o Unique middle school programming (STEM, Humanities, Integrated

strands, content experts/specialists, etc.)

o Additional in-service days/professional development opportunities targeted

at formative assessment and curriculum revision/refinement within a social

constructivist school community

o Improved instructional resources

o Enhanced afterschool program

o Enhanced summer school program

o Technology upgrades
