  4. Probability of connecting big bucks to alternative and adult education. Only by accident.

  5. Mission+Methods+Money=MatchMission of the District The Clark county School District mission is to ensure that all students will learn and demonstrate the knowledge, skills, attitude, and ethics necessary to succeed as contributing members of society.

  6. Education Services Mission It is the mission of the Education Services Division to provide our students with the essential skills, attitudes, and integrity necessary to become successful, responsible citizens.

  7. Desert Rose High School Mission Our mission is to provide lifelong educational opportunities and services, while addressing the unique needs of individuals in a diverse population.

  8. Who We Serve Desert Rose High School provides a comprehensive secondary school education for adults age 17 and older, who have not completed a high school diploma. The school also provides ESL instruction, citizenship training, and GED preparation. GED students age 16 and older are eligible for services.

  9. What We Live By

  10. Educate to Graduate & Beyond

  11. Do the right thing by the students and you can’t make a mistake.

  12. Relationships make a difference.

  13. Ransel’s Rules • Make the Money Work. • Go to Class. We don’t give out credits in parking lot or hallway. • Students who are difficult to reach may have parents who are hard to find. • The first twelve hours with a student is the golden door to success. • If we try it on Monday and it is not working on Wednesday make a change.

  14. Funding is an Uphill Battle

  15. If we don’t manage our money, we won’t accomplish our missison.

  16. Getting Financing for Adult & Alternative Ed is a Major Project

  17. Getting This Funding Requires No Box Thinking Funding Sources = Federal, State, District, Grants, Private

  18. Nightmares in the closet – Be prepared to handle problems with your funding sources

  19. Some sources come out like monsters.

  20. But they can be tamed, and…

  21. … help you handle your next monster.

  22. Adult Ed funding has declined since 2003

  23. Keep Your Mission in the News • 14.4% unemployment • 1.2 million dropouts a year nation-wide • Lack of a high school education predicts personal disaster. • It costs $6,000-$8,000 a year to educate a student in Nevada and about $35,000 a year for incarceration.

  24. We are expected to improve: • Achievement • Test Scores • Attendance • Positive Behaviors • Ethics • Job Related Skills

  25. Get up to date …

  26. Make your wish list • Full time teachers • 12 hour schedule • Year round school • Technology • Vocational classes • Academic classes • Facilities
