SPRINGFIELD CITY SCHOOL DISTRICT STRATEGIC PLAN 2016 ­ 2021

Strategic Plan Background Plan Overview

The School Board engaged in a strategic planning process from January to May of 2016 to ensure that the quality of educational opportunities for our students are the best available. The plan has a primary goal to improve academic performance and to ensure that the diversity within the District and the community is embraced and utilized by the plan.

The plan is based on a comprehensive assessment of organizational culture, strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, barriers and challenges.

The plan provides a consistent framework for guiding decision­making over the next three to five years.

The plan allows for effective communication to organizational stakeholders about the challenges and opportunities facing the organization, along with clearly defined and measurable goals. o Vision o Goals, resources, timelines o Evaluation and refinement process

The plan also provides a basis for measuring progress. The plan should be revisited regularly and updated as needed. A monitoring committee will

be put into place to monitor progress each school year.

SPRINGFIELD CITY SCHOOL DISTRICT STRATEGIC PLAN 2016 ­ 2021

Springfield City Schools Background Springfield is a diverse community with a median home value of $82,000 and a median income of $22,933. It is successfully integrating high­tech service oriented companies into its revenue base to complement its manufacturing businesses. Wittenberg University and Clark State Community College are both located in Springfield and are important partners with the District. Springfield City Schools is a school district that operates one pre­school, ten elementary schools, three middle schools, one high school, an on­line program, and an alternative school. Vocational students attend the Clark County Career Technology Center. Approximately 80% of the SCSD student population qualifies for no­cost breakfast and lunch. The Springfield City School District serves approximately 8,000 students pre­school through grade 12 in a vibrant learning community of 60,000 residents in west­central Ohio. The dedicated and professional staff includes more than 550 teachers, with approximately 560 support personnel and administrators. Our students represent our whole community and we value the racial, ethnic and socioeconomic diversity of our student body. Our academic and extracurricular aim is to ensure academic growth for students at all abilities. We continue to innovate to support personalized, customized learning. While we offer unique options at all grade levels, our middle school and high school students have seen the most striking growth in educational options as we now allow students to blend traditional coursework, on­line coursework, and experiential learning. The strategic plan allows us to combine and incorporate stakeholder data that has been gathered over the past several years into the Portraits of a Springfield Graduate. The data helps us identify what skills and competencies are necessary for a Springfield graduate to be successful in college or career and most importantly, life. Specifically, the District is working to merge effective teaching and learning best practices with the soft skills (non­cognitive) that are necessary for student success in a global society.

SPRINGFIELD CITY SCHOOL DISTRICT STRATEGIC PLAN 2016 ­ 2021

Detailed Strengths and Weaknesses

Strengths Weaknesses Cultural

Board actively promoting positive change Caring staff – some staff described feeling like

extra parents Diversity Willingness to change; peel back the onion Pride in district ­ being one district with a

unified high school and positive branding

Aligned and inspirational leadership – staff who do not want to change are not held accountable; passivity and lack of clear direction were described

Communication – transparency lacking; information does not get to staff; decisions are changed but not communicated

Mistrust of leadership and fear of retribution; staff feel dictated to

Cultural relevance needs more focus in engaging students

Some staff have rigid view of role and will not volunteer or step out of their narrow role to individualize or support learning

Staff climate – lack of decision making power, not respected, culture is judgment and blame rather than support

Support staff feel they are not respected or included

Different behavioral expectations amongst middle schools create challenges at high school. Concern at elementary schools that teacher discretion will jeopardize consistency

School Resources Financial – this includes being fiscally sound

and having grants. We have assets with our space that have been designed for community use as well, such as The Dome

Technology, One to One program Human capital – young staff and the experience

of tenured staff

Sufficient staff, substitutes are needed Tech support ­ some comments from focus

groups indicated that it is not fully integrated or accessible; policies on tech support for devices at high school are an example of a challenge

Technology challenges around access and excessive paperwork; too much bureaucracy

Passion and shiny infrastructure is not felt by staff

Digital academy is not known to staff and 52% of community (2014) does not know about it either

Elementary schools are overcrowded because enrollment has increased

SPRINGFIELD CITY SCHOOL DISTRICT STRATEGIC PLAN 2016 ­ 2021

Strengths and Weaknesses Summary (continued)

Strengths Weaknesses Community

Collaboration in our community (Promise Neighborhood) – 72% of community members (2014) believe that the school district is committed to improving the education that it provides to students. Volunteers were mentioned as an asset for some buildings

Specialized staff and support available at Keifer Academy

Being approachable Parental involvement lacking; students without

proper parenting/challenging home life ­ this was mentioned by virtually all groups

Lack of high expectations (from all adults); student engagement needs to be higher

Lack of family support for students and lack of support for families (removing barriers to involvement)

Wide disparity in education level when children begin school

Curriculum Focus on non­cognitive skills, positive

behavior program and 21 st century learning 5 Es instructional model is an indication of

commitment to teaching Curriculum opportunities – Academies, STEM,

IB Program advanced courses, opportunities for individualized learning, critical thinking, digital academy, students can make choices

Reputation as being a “rougher” and low performing system

Need to integrate the non­cognitive into the curriculum changes that are occurring now

Lack of high expectations

Development & Extracurricular Internships – 59% of the community (2014) is

unaware that high school internships are offered

Arts and athletics – band going to the Peach Bowl; basketball team making regional

Academic achievements such as Power of the Pen, mock trial team, math competition

Need more staff and guidance counselors Counselors manage testing
