  2. Superintendent’s Work Plan Teaching and Learning Increase K-12 mathematics achievement for all students Transform the culture of middle schools with a commitment to creating a rigorous academic learning environment Increase on-time graduation, reduce the drop-out rate, and increase post-secondary readiness Implement a standardized data collection system where data is collected and disseminated centrally for building level/department level analysis focused on improving student achievement

  3. Superintendent’s Work Plan Teaching and Learning Increase K-12 mathematics achievement for all students Transform the culture of middle schools with a commitment to creating a rigorous academic learning environment Increase on-time graduation, reduce the drop-out rate, and increase post-secondary readiness Implement a standardized data collection system where data is collected and disseminated centrally for building level/department level analysis focused on improving student achievement

  4. Increase Graduation Rate and College/Career Readiness • 2006-07 • On-time graduation rate – 57.7 • Extended graduation rate – 61.2 • Drop-Out Rate – 38.2 • 2007-08 • On-time graduation rate – 60.3 • Extended graduation rate – 61.9 • Drop-Out Rate – 29.3 • 2008-09 • On-time graduation rate – 62.1 • Extended graduation rate - 65.0 • Droop-Out Rate – 28.7

  5. Calculating Graduation Rates • Formula: • 100*(1-grade 9 dropout)*(1-grade 10 dropout)*(1-grade 11 dropout rate)*(1-grade 12 dropout-grade 12 continuing rate) • Using SPS numbers for 2008-09 • 100*(1-.024)*(1-.046)*(1-.087)*(1-.161-.108) • 100*.976*.954*.913*.731 = 62.142160

  6. Calculating Dropout Rates • Formula: • 100-(100*(1-grade 9 dropout)*(1-grade 10 dropout)*(1-grade 11 dropout rate)*(1-grade 12)) • Using SPS numbers for 2008-09 • 100- (100*(1-.024)*(1-.046)*(1-.087)*(1-.161) • 100- (100*.976*.954*.913*.839) • 100-71.3434101728= 28.67678%

  7. SPS Graduation Rate History Year Grad Rate Drop Out Rate 38.2% 29.3% 28.7% 19.6% • 2006-07 57.7% • 2007-08 60.3% • 2008-09 62.1% • 2009-10 70.2% (projected)

  8. High Schools: 2008-09 2008-09 2009-10 • Ferris 79.7% 83.4% • LC 73.5% 83.7% • NC 68.8% 74.1% • Rogers 50.9% 60.4% • Shadle Park 77.7% 87.4% • Havermale 17.7% 22.6%

  9. Cumulative Promotion Index • How does it work? • It looks at how successful school districts are in the following areas: • Keeping students in high school (9th to 10th, 10th to 11th, etc…) • Getting students to graduate • It also compares school districts to one another on a scale by looking at 10 risk factors. This tells a district and a community how a school is doing compared to other similar districts across the United States and allows for accurate comparison between two school districts with very different socio-economic factors and student composition.

  10. Comparing Spokane to Other Districts • What do the numbers mean? • All districts are placed on a scale • Scores below 100 indicate a school district performing below expectations. • A score of 100 is a district performing where one would expect. • A score above 100 is a district exceeding expectations.

  11. Spokane’s Results • 2009 Results • Spokane School District: 106.9 • Other districts around the state: • Seattle: 78.3 • Tacoma: 69.3 • Kent: 104.1 • Everett: 74.7

  12. Superintendent’s Task Force on Graduation and College Readiness • Bob Douthitt* • Jeff Bierman • Brian Melody • Julia Lockwood • Clay Gehring • Craig Numata* • Fred Schrumph* • Joan Poirier* • Jay Jordan • Jenny Rose • Karin Short* • Ken Brown • May Templeton • Pam Austin • Linda Takami • Lisa Mattson • Lisa White* • Lorna Spear • Sharon Robinson • Steven Gering* • Tammy Campbell* • Tennille Jeffries-Simmons • TerrenRoloff • Travis Schulhauser • Wendy Bleecker • Jon Swett* • RazakGaroui * Leadership Team

  13. Increase Graduation Rate and College/Career Readiness Strategies to increase graduation rate: • Technical response: follow up on all students who leave the district • Adaptive response: develop intervention programs that keep students in school • On-Track • ICAN in every high school • Freshman Academy at Rogers • LC Core at Lewis and Clark • AVID at Glover, Garry, Rogers, NC • 21st Century Tutoring Program (NC, Rogers) • Summer School/Winter Break School/Senior Slam • 6th-7th Transition Project – Raikes Grant - $150,000/yr

  14. Increase Graduation Rate and College/Career Readiness Strategies to increase graduation rate: • Development of an Early Warning System (support from INCF, United Way, and Empire Health) • What are the characteristics of students in our community who fail to graduate from high school? • How can we track those students K-12? • What interventions can be implemented to change the trajectory for students who are at risk of not graduating? • Approximate Cost - $45,000

  15. Increase Graduation Rate and College/Career Readiness • What do these intervention programs cost and why? • On-Track $1.6 million • ICAN in every high school $385,000 • Freshman Academy at Rogers $83,000 • LC Core at Lewis and Clark $350,000 • AVID at Glover, Garry, Rogers, NC • 21st Century Tutoring Program (NC, Rogers) $400,000/yr.
