THE CASE What challenges is your school district facing?

• Savannah-Chatham School District faces a challenge in meeting the state class size

requirement while trying to maintain financial stability. In order to comply with state class

size requirements, the district will need to hire over 300 new employees. Furthermore,

classroom space, furniture, and supplies for instruction will also be needed to accommodate

the new teachers and supporting staff.

• Savannah-Chatham School District faces a challenge in filling critical teaching positions.

With the existing salary and certification requirements, the district had to start school year

2015-16 with an additional 10 substitute teachers. With a national shortage on teachers and

Georgia being an importer of teachers, it has become difficult to attract and retain highly

qualified teachers and also to meet state mandated requirements.

• Savannah-Chatham School District faces a challenge when trying to accommodate

individualized student learning. Many of our students require additional support services in

specific content areas. The laws and rules in place create barriers when schools try to be

creative in engaging and accelerating student learning.

• Savannah-Chatham School District faces a challenge in offering students access to additional

advanced or engaging courses. Due to mandated state requirements for graduation, flexibility

is limited on the types of courses and electives that can be offered to students.

Table 1: Summary of Challenges Aligned with Initiatives and Necessary Waivers

Table 1: Summary of Challenges Aligned with Initiatives and Necessary Waivers (Continuation)

Challenges in Prioritized Order Specific Initiative/Action and Explanation Waiver(s) Requested Ensuring that Savannah-Chatham schools can attract and retain effective teachers, leaders, and professional personnel to meet the projected student growth for Savannah-Chatham schools, the aging workforce, and current staffing deficits, and schedules.

The Savannah-Chatham School District highly regards the traditional preparation of school educators and intends to consider the additional value that could be added to classroom instruction and student support by expanding employment practices to consider second career professionals and practitioners in specialty fields such as technology, science and engineering, foreign language, and other student support service roles. Additionally Savannah-Chatham desires to ensure that all employees are compensated at competitive rates while valuing prior non-teaching responsibilities associated with an employee’s teaching or support assignment and affording schools with maximum flexibility.

• Salary Schedule Requirements (O.C.G.A. § 20-2-212) • Certification Requirements (O.C.G.A. § 20-2-108,

O.C.G.A. § 20-2-200, O.C.G.A. § 20-2-201, O.C.G.A. § 20-2-204)

• Personnel Required (SBR 160-5-1-.22) • Guidance Counselor (SBR 160-4-8.05)

Ensuring that Savannah-Chatham schools can increasingly personalize the learning experience and environment for all students and advance student learning in all core content areas.

The Savannah-Chatham School District will pursue creative and innovative course design that accounts for varied paces of student learning and unique student interests. Through the increased use of digital resources, embedded courses, innovative instructional models, and accelerated learning opportunities, the district will facilitate new thinking about engaging instructional experiences and environments for meeting today’s students’ learning needs.

• ELL Program Requirements (O.C.G.A. § 20-2-156) • Educational Programs (O.C.G.A. § 20-2-153, O.C.G.A.

§ 20-2-154, O.C.G.A. § 20-2-154.1, O.C.G.A. § 20-2-155)

• Promotion and Retention (O.C.G.A § 20-2-283) • Middle School Program Criteria (O.C.G.A. § 20-2-290) • Competencies and Core Curriculum, Online Learning

(O.C.G.A. § 20-2-140.1) • School Day and Year for Students and Employees

(O.C.G.A. § 20-2-151, § 20-2-160(a), § 20-2-168(c)) • Education Program for Gifted Students (SBOE Rule 160-

4-2-.38) • Instructional Extension (O.C.G.A. § 20-2-184.1)


5

Challenges in Prioritized Order Specific Initiative/Action and Explanation Waiver(s) Requested Ensuring that Savannah-Chatham schools can provide opportunities for advancement and access to advanced courses for all students while meeting the graduation requirements.

The Savannah-Chatham School District will provide creative student-centered solutions to assist and accelerate students in acquiring the knowledge and skills necessary to be successful as they continue their education at the postsecondary level and/or enter the workforce. This will be accomplished through the substitution or replacement of mandated courses with equivalent or higher level courses.

• Graduation Requirements ( SBOE Rule 160-4-2-.47 and SBOE Rule 160-4-2-.48)

• Comprehensive Health and Physical Education Program except as prohibited by O.C.G.A. § 20-2-82(e). (SBR 160-4-2-.12) (high schools only)

• Enrollment of students in school to which not originally assigned (O.C.G.A. § 20-2-2131)

Ensuring the financial stability of Savannah-Chatham schools while meeting the unique academic, resource, and support needs of all students.

The Savannah-Chatham School District will align spending priorities with the district’s strategic plan to improve student achievement. The state revenue source currently contributes a minimal percentage of the actual cost of operating schools at a high level and therefore the district will leverage the reduction in spending constraints to support the core business of teaching and learning. The Savannah-Chatham School District is comprised of 51 schools, 4 charter schools, and several educational centers and covers the County of Chatham and City of Savannah, Tybee Island, Pooler, Garden City, Port Wentworth, Bloomingdale, Vernonburg, and Thunderbolt. The district values the unique strengths and specific needs of each school, and will therefore leverage the flexibility waivers to advance teaching and learning at every school.

• Class-size and Reporting requirements (O.C.G.A. § 20-2-182)

• Direct Classroom Expenditures and Expenditure Controls (O.C.G.A. § 20-2-171)

• QBE Financing except to the extent it relates to funding (O.C.G.A. § 20-2-161)

• Program Enrollment & Appropriation (O.C.G.A. § 20-2-160)

• Categorical Allotment requirements, Article 6 of Chapter 2 of Title 20 (O.C.G.A. § 20-2-167, and O.C.G.A. § 20-2-183 to 20-2-186)

• Phase 2: Application process of the selected Governance Model consisted of three stages.

Stage 1 entailed gathering information, meeting with key stakeholder groups, and

establishing a timeline for Savannah-Chatham Public Schools. At the end of Stage 1, a

board retreat was held to discuss the status of the application process, potential waivers,

and proposed timeline. Stage 2 involved communicating the timeline, application

process, and potential waivers to stakeholders (Administration, faculty, staff, PTA,

Teacher of the Year senate, Instructional Support Person of the Year senate, parents, and

community) for understanding and input. A waiver feedback link was also created on the

district’s public website for comments and opinions. Finally, an extended Guiding

Coalition group consisting of community stakeholders met on November 12th, 2015 for

the purpose of reviewing the components of the application and waivers being

considered.

System Name, Grades Served, and Other Descriptive Information

The Board of Public Education for the City of Savannah and the County of Chatham, Georgia,

incorporated in 1866, is a body of politic and corporate, and a school district of the State of

Georgia having boundaries coterminous with Chatham County. More commonly referred to as

the Savannah-Chatham County Public School System (SCCPSS), the district provides public

educational services to the citizenry of the County of Chatham and City of Savannah, Tybee

Island, Pooler, Garden City, Port Wentworth, Bloomingdale, Vernonburg, and Thunderbolt. The

District operates under a Board - Superintendent form of government and encompasses more than

50 school sites serving over 38,000 students in pre-kindergarten through grade 12.

Mission, Vision, and Strategic Framework

Mission Statement: To ignite a passion for learning and teaching at high levels.

Vision Statement: From school to the world: All students prepared for productive futures.

SCCPSS follows a five year Strategic Business Plan that incorporates the mission and vision

statements, guiding principles, GSBA Vision for Public Education in Georgia, and strategic goals

as approved by Board. Supporting each of the strategic goals are Board Ations and one or more

objectives with specific key strategies. The Strategic Business Plan is supported by the District

Accountability System – Reporting, Evaluating, and Monitoring Instrument (DAS-REMI), which

defines the structure for reporting information in key academic, financial, and operational areas.

Monitoring the Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) associated with each objective highlights

areas of success, identifies opportunities for improvement, and helps focus and guide the work of

the Board, Superintendent, and administration. It also serves as a tool for the school Board’s

assessment of its own performance and that of the superintendent each year.

District Demographic and Performance Information

The district’s full time equivalent enrollment has increased steadily over the past five years,

reaching a total of 38,123 students in grades PK-12 in the fall of SY 2014-15 (Figure 1). The

district serves a diverse population of students (Table 1). About three out of every four students

identifies in a non-White race/ethnicity subgroup, and the majority of students receive free or

reduced price meals. Over 1,000 SCCPSS students are English Learners, and the percentage of

students with disabilities increased from 10% to 12% in the most recent year.

Excluding Challenge Points, the district’s CCRPI score has remained generally consistent

over the past three school years, at 64.0 to 64.1 points. Comparing 2014 results to 2012

reveals that Achievement scores improved at all grade levels, while Progress improved in

elementary grades, remained constant in middle grades, and declined at the high school

level. Achievement Gap scores remained constant in elementary grades, improved in

middle grades, and declined substantially at the high school level. High school

Achievement Gap results were primarily impacted by performance in the math content

area, in which the existing gap widened with the introduction of the Coordinate Algebra

and Analytic Geometry EOCTs. In addition, high schools with a Gap Change score of 3

in 2013 had difficulty maintaining a level 3 in a second consecutive year.

School-level CCRPI scores vary substantially, ranging from 41.3 to 99.3 in 2014 (Table

2). In general, schools serving the highest populations of economically disadvantaged

students earned lower CCRPI scores. At the beginning of SY 2014-15, SCCPSS

identified a group of Impact Schools -- elementary and K-8 schools with CCRPI scores of

less than 65 in 2012 and 2013 -- for targeted interventions and supports. Based on

improved outcomes achieved on the district’s math and literacy benchmark assessments,

this initiative has been expanded and funded to include additional schools and strategies

for SY 2015-16.

Curriculum, Instructional Methods, and Educational Programs

The District is aligned with the currently adopted Georgia Standards of Excellence and

research–based best practices. Our curriculum employs explicit, intentional and

differentiated instruction centered on the needs of all students. In alignment with our

instructional system, we are moving rapidly toward an integrated and interdisciplinary

approach to instruction with a Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics

(STEM) focus. Learning experiences of this nature are included in daily schedules which

provide current curricular coherence by articulating detailed practices that must be

implemented in grade levels and classrooms across the district.

In an effort to accelerate and sustain all learners’ proficiency in all of our core content

classes, seven principles are being used to guide the district’s work and to address the

complexity of the content and context of core content instruction. These principles will

direct the purpose, design, delivery, and evaluation of instruction. Therefore, all schools

will:

• Use the adopted Georgia Standards of Excellence in math and English/Language arts

classrooms; and Georgia Performance Standards in science and social studies

classrooms (pending 2017-2018 transition to Georgia Standards of Excellence) as the

curricular platform, and align curriculum, assessment, instruction, and organization to

provide a comprehensive, coherent structure for core content teaching and learning;

• Stress the importance of a balanced, comprehensive literacy and math program;

• Emphasize that students must be Reading on Grade Level (ROGL) and

demonstrating Numeracy on Grade Level (NOGL) at least by the end of third grade;

• Target the important skills, concepts, and strategies that students must be able to use

after the third grade and provide remedial support as necessary;

• Provide guidance to ensure that all educators and learners understand that specific

skills in reading, writing, speaking and listening must be taught and learned in a

reciprocal process that build on and strengthen one another;

o Reading and writing will be learned across all academic disciplines;

o Mathematics must provide meaningful mathematical discussions and

implementation of the Standards of Mathematical Practices;

o Science and social studies will be embedded in the instruction of the K-5

classrooms;

o Interdisciplinary strategies and discussions will be implemented across

content areas and grade levels to promote understanding and appreciation for

STEM education.

• Promote a preventive rather than remedial approach, as supported by the research of

Shaywitz, 2003, and Torgesen, 2001; and


12

• Address the full range of learners in all classrooms through differentiated

instructional methods to build collaborative and supportive learning environments.

All non-charter school sites participate in district benchmark assessments to support

the use of formative data to impact instructional decision-making. Compass Learning

is an intervention tool used district-wide to support Reading and Math instruction in

grades 2-8. Other educational programs vary in use among sites, and include but are

not limited to Reflex Math; Gismos; MobyMax; Sumdog Math; Wilsons Fundations;

and SRA. The district also offers online courses (A+ Software) to grades 6-12

students. The A+ program has been instrumental in the progress of high school

students who have earned a total of 3,695 Carnegie Units in the past three years.

Furthermore, the District has worked to expand and support the integration of

technology into the instructional program. For example, the Bring Your Own

Technology (BYOT) policy, guidelines, and course was created to allow teachers and

students to take advantage of their personal devices for use within the classroom for

research and collaboration. The district also maintains a 3:1 student-to-computer ratio

in each of the schools and completed phasing in a one-to-one initiative at the STEM

Academy at Bartlett. In order to support these initiatives, the wireless infrastructure

was upgraded to handle 30 portable devices in each classroom throughout the county.

Our teachers have taken advantage of these new capabilities in order to provide a

more meaningful and engaging learning environment.

process. It incorporates the mission and vision statements, guiding principles, the

adopted Vision for Public Education in Georgia statements, and strategic goals as

approved by the Board of Education for the City of Savannah and the County of






14

Chatham. Each strategic goal is supported by specific board actions and one or

more objectives with associated Key Performance Indicator (KPI) measures. The

DAS-REMI is designed as a straightforward, measurable, transparent tool that

defines the structure for reporting information in key academic, financial, and

operational areas of focus. The information reported highlights areas of success,

helps identify opportunities for improvement, and helps guide the work of the

Superintendent, Board, and administration to accomplish the Strategic Goals.

IE2 Partnership Contract

Come now The Board of Public Education for the City of Savannah and the County of

Chatham (Local Board) and the State Board of Education (State Board) and enter into this

contract (the Contract) on the 1st day of July 2016.

WHEREAS, pursuant to O.C.G.A. § 20-2-81, the Local Board has developed a five-year

strategic plan (Strategic Plan), attached hereto as Exhibit A, for improving the performance of its

schools;

WHEREAS, the Local Board has proposed a Contract reflecting its Strategic Plan for

each of its schools including components for flexibility, accountability, and consequences, as

contemplated by state law;

WHEREAS, the Local Board has provided the Georgia Department of Education

(GaDOE) with current performance and demographic data for each of its schools;

WHEREAS, the Local Board has proposed a performance template for each of its

elementary, middle and high schools (School Plans);

WHEREAS, the Local Board has held a public hearing on February 3, 2016, as provided

by state law; and

- 2 -

WHEREAS, pursuant to O.C.G.A. § 20-2-82, the Local Board has entered into

negotiations with the GaDOE in consultation with the Governor’s Office of Student

Achievement (GOSA) concerning its contract,

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the promises, benefits and duties contained

herein, the sufficiency and adequacy of which is hereby acknowledged, the parties agree as

follows:

1. Local Board. The Local Board agrees that, in exchange for the flexibility outlined in

Exhibit B, it will achieve the accountability goals detailed in Exhibit C. The

accountability goals for each school will also be reflected in the attached individual

School Plans: Exhibit E for elementary schools; Exhibit F for middle schools and Exhibit

G for high schools. The Local Board further agrees that if a school fails to meet its

accountability goals as set forth in Exhibit C, the Local Board will implement no later

than the date specified herein the consequences outlined in Exhibit D. The Local Board

further agrees to cooperate with GOSA as it monitors the performance of the schools

under its jurisdiction.

2. Governor’s Office of Student Achievement (GOSA). In accordance with state law,

GOSA will monitor each of the Local Board’s schools with regard to its progress toward

meeting its intermediate and five-year academic accountability goal as outlined in Exhibit

C. Schools meeting the equivalent of three years’ of targeted improvement as outlined in

Exhibits C, E, F and G, will be deemed as meeting the accountability requirements of this

Contract. If any district school is not in compliance with this goal, then GOSA will

- 3 -

notify the State Board and the GaDOE accordingly. Additionally, GOSA will monitor

district performance on the operational accountability goals as outlined in Exhibit C. If

the school district is not in compliance with these goals, then GOSA will notify the State

Board and the GaDOE accordingly.

Because of the need to establish school baseline data based upon Georgia’s new

assessment system, GOSA will work with Local Board staff to develop CCRPI targets for

each school using the accountability metrics detailed in Exhibit C following receipt by

GOSA of school-level CCRPI without Challenge Points from the GaDOE. Local Board

will then provide to the GaDOE updated Exhibits E, F and G reflecting the appropriate

targets for each school and these Exhibits shall be automatically amended into the

contract, replacing the earlier Exhibits.

3. Georgia Department of Education (GaDOE). The GaDOE shall provide support to the

Local Board’s schools that are not high-performing in accordance with State Board Rule

160-7-1-.04 Accountability System Awards and Consequences.

4. Term of Contract. This Contract will be based upon a term of five (5) years of

performance accountability allowing seven years of district flexibility for the purpose of

setting school benchmarks initially and then again to allow GOSA to finalize Year Five

performance results, since CCRPI data for Year Five will not be available until the

following year. The additional year at the end of the contract also ensures the

implementation of consequences.

5. Contract Extensions. This Contract may be extended on an annual basis beyond the

Initial Term if the Local Board successfully meets the terms of the Contract for at least

three or more years as determined by the State Board.

- 4 -

6. Contract Renewal. Prior to the end of the Contract Term, the Contract may be amended

Exhibit C Accountability Component of Contract


The State Board shall hold the Savannah-Chatham School District accountable for the performance of the academic goal listed below.

Goal 1: Each Savannah-Chatham School District school will demonstrate proficiency and/or improvement on the CCRPI.

Measure 1: School performance goals will be set so that for each year during the five-year contract, an individual school shall increase its CCRPI score (without Challenge Points) by 3% of the gap between the baseline year CCRPI score (without Challenge Points) and 100. Baseline year is 2015-2016.

OR

Measure 2: For each year during the five-year contract, an individual school with an initial CCRPI score (without Challenge Points), performing in the top quartile of the state within each grade cluster shall remain at or above the top quartile threshold established in the baseline year. Baseline year is 2015-2016.

OR

Measure 3: If a school fails to meet its CCRPI target score, the school will be deemed as meeting its yearly performance target if the school is determined to be “beating the odds” through an analysis that compares the school’s CCRPI to its expected performance as determined by the “beating the odds” model developed in partnership between GOSA and the GaDOE.


Exhibit D Consequences Component of Contract


Sanctions and interventions for nonperforming schools: The schedule of sanctions and interventions shall be designed to ensure that the local school system sufficiently addresses the achievement deficiencies at all non-performing schools under the local school system’s management and control. Such sanctions and interventions shall be at the recommendation of GOSA and shall include the following: In accordance with O.C.G.A. § 20-2-84.1, Savannah-Chatham School District will employ the following interventions or sanctions at all non-performing schools under the Savannah-Chatham School District’s local management and control. The sanctions and interventions shall include the following:

(a) If based upon the review of the 2016-2017 and/or 2017-2018 performance data, a school has not made sufficient progress toward meeting the articulated academic goals, a school improvement plan will be incorporated into the annual school strategic planning process and implemented by August 2018 (based upon review of 2016-2017 data) or August 2019 (based upon review of 2017-2018 data). The school improvement plan will address the specific achievement deficiencies along with a targeted plan to address the deficiencies. The school improvement plan and the targeted plan will be approved and monitored by the district throughout the academic year.

(b) If based upon the review of 2018-2019 and/or 2019-2020 performance data, a school has not achieved three years of growth in the articulated academic goals, the Savannah-Chatham School District will apply direct school management support and intensive teacher development support as outlined in the jointly developed school improvement plan between the school leadership and district leadership staff. Implementation of the school improvement plan will occur no later than August 2020 (based upon review of 2018-2019 data) and/or August 2021 (based upon review of 2019-2020 data) and will be monitored by the school system.

(c) If based upon the GOSA evaluation of the 2020-2021 performance data, a school has not achieved three years of growth in the articulated academic goals, the Savannah-Chatham School District will apply, in the 2022-2023 school year, the consequences recommended by GOSA and approved by the State Board of Education.

Exhibit J NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARING

Board of Public Education Public Hearing on the Georgia Flexibility Option Strategic Waivers School

System/IE2

The Board of Public Education for the City of Savannah and the County of Chatham will hold a public hearing on February 10, 2016 at 5:00 PM regarding its application to become a Strategic Waivers School System/IE2, one of the management structures offered under the Georgia Flexibility Options. The public hearing will be held in Building G of the Whitney Administrative Complex, 2 Laura Avenue, Savannah, GA.

The Savannah-Chatham County Public School System has carefully reviewed each of the flexibility options offered and in doing so presented information and updates for public involvement. Throughout the process, fifty three informational sessions were held, an informational website was created, and an extended Guiding Coalition group consisting of community stakeholders met on multiple occasions for the purpose of exploring the Georgia Flexibility Options and potential waivers. School Board workshops were held on April 15, 2015, May 20, 2015, and October 19, 2015. A public hearing was also scheduled on May 27, 2015 to allow for additional public input on a flexibility option to pursue.

With considerable stakeholder input, in-depth discussion, and review of necessary Title 20 Laws and School Board Rules waiver options, and taking into consideration recent updates from the Georgia Department of Education stating that the State Board of Education will only consider approving waivers for Charter System or Strategic Waivers School System, the Savannah-Chatham County Public School System has prepared a draft application for the Strategic Waivers School System/IE2 Governance Model.

The State Department of Education requires school districts pursuing the Strategic Waivers School System/IE2 model to submit their application for consideration to the Georgia Department of Education and the Governor’s Office of Student Achievement by April 1, 2016. The draft application and its components have been posted on the District’s public website for review and comment at http://t20.sccpss.com

The School District invites the public to be a part of the public hearing being held on February 10, 2016, 5:00 PM regarding the district’s draft application for becoming a Strategic Waivers School System/IE2. If approved, the five year performance contract will go into effect July 1, 2016.


Exhibit K Board Agenda March 2, 2016

Goal 1 – To Ensure All Students are College and Career Ready

Georgia Flexibility Option: Authorization to Submit the Strategic Waivers School System/IE² Application, Contract, and its components to the Georgia Board of Education for approval

The Georgia Department of Education requires the Savannah-Chatham County Public School System to notify the Georgia Department of Education of its intent to operate under a contract as a Charter System or a Strategic Waivers School System by April 1, 2016 or risk defaulting to a Title20/No Waivers School System. Without a contract in place, the district risks jeopardizing $17 to $20 million dollars in savings through the use of waivers.

The Savannah-Chatham County Public School System has carefully reviewed each of the flexibility options offered, and in doing so, presented information and updates for public involvement. Throughout the process, fifty three informational sessions were held, an informational website was created, and an extended Guiding Coalition group consisting of community stakeholders met on multiple occasions for the purpose of exploring the Georgia Flexibility Options and potential waivers. School Board workshops were held on April 15, 2015, May 20, 2015, and October 19, 2015. Public hearings were also scheduled on May 27, 2015 and February 10, 2016 to allow for additional public input on the Georgia Flexibility Option, the application, and waivers.

With considerable stakeholder input, in-depth discussion, and review of necessary Title 20 Laws and School Board Rules waiver options, and taking into consideration recent updates from the Georgia Department of Education stating that the State Board of Education will only consider approving waivers for Charter System or Strategic Waivers School System, the Savannah-Chatham County Public School System on June 10, 2015 has approved a resolution to pursue the Strategic Waivers School System/IE². A draft application has been prepared and is now presented for final board approval. The contract term is scheduled to take effect on July 1, 2016, and will expire on June 30, 2021.

THUS,

BE IT RESOLVED, upon recommendation of the Superintendent, that the Savannah-Chatham County Board of Public Education approve the application and contract for the Strategic Waiver School System/IE² and its components to be submitted to the Georgia Department of Education for final state approval.
