9. Discussion Item - MS Staff Development Plan
Description:
Discuss Professional Development Opportunity for JMS Staff:
As part of the new building and design concept, I'm proposing that we work with Kevin Honeycutt and his Essdack Team to provide a unique professional development opportunity in November. At this time, I'm looking at the week prior to Thanksgiving which is November 23rd-25th. I'm proposing that we allow for a full staff development day on November 23rd. This would allow Kevin and his team an opportunity to work with the staff to establish the exercise and discuss project based teaching and learning. The students would come on the 24th and 25th to work with their teachers and the Essdack team. We would produce a video and host a "viewing party" to show to parents. This would allow us to obtain feedback and help our staff to learn how to use the space. If this works well, I believe that we would be able to develop a training video for our staff, new staff, and it would also allow us to present at conferences such as MSBA and MASA conferences. I've spoken with several potential financial partners that would also serve as on-site consultants as we work through the exercise. I will work on the pricing and ask you to consider this proposal at our 2nd meeting in September. I've asked Essdack to provide an outline for this exercise and hope to have this outline for Monday's Board Meeting. |

10. Board and Administrative Reports
|
|
10.1. Superintendent's Report
Description:
Discussion Points:
First Week of School Observations: Students overall were excited to be back. The MS students really enjoyed their new space. Pre-school conferences at K-4 work very well and provide a nice separate transition from 5-12 students back to school. We are working through some transportation pieces, but overall the start has been good with transportation (parent and busing). SOAR Program is up and running. Chad and I would like to organize a visit for interested Board and Admin Team Members. Possible upcoming workshop opportunity. Increased Enrollment for 2015-2016 - See attached enrollment documentWe are up from our projected 1801 students in the budget module. If this number holds, this will mean additional revenue. Concession Stand Update - MDH and City of Jordan Signage (CUP approval)The City of Jordan's Planning Commission approved the CUP for athletic building signage. We have submitted an application to MDH under our Booster Club Umbrella to have a permanent food stand license. Additional Paraprofessional Support at JES for 1st Grade if neededWe are monitoring the numbers. Our initial student count puts us at our maximum threshold of 24 students per classroom. There are other factors that we need to consider, but I wanted to make the Board aware that we may need to consider a full time paraprofessional to provide Reading and Math RTI support. District Building and Grounds Update: Our focus right now is completing the MS and cleaning up the MS site and garage. The disc golf course is also on tap for this fall along with the re-keying of the HS (SHIP grant) Thank you to Tim and the entire custodial team for an incredible job done this summer and especially to get the MS building open on time. This past weekend, a group of volunteers from Hope Lutheran Church completed a "God's Work, Our Hands" project. Perennials, mulch, and flower pots were added near the ES ice tank and at the entrance of the ECFE wing. Thank you to Kelly Lorenz and her entire team for their volunteerism and great work! Homecoming Week Update (from Barb): 8:30: K - 6 grade will have a pep fest in the high school gym 9:45: High school students who are in the parade will be dismissed to get ready for the parade 10:15: Parade starts 10:30: High school students will be dismissed to watch the parade 11:00 - 12:15: High school students will eat lunch 12:15 - 1:00: Pep fest and air jams for grades 7 through 12 We chose to have all events at the high school to allow for middle school students to attend because they do not have a space to have a pep fest. We wanted to have the younger students (grades 5 and 6) with elementary students because there is quite an age difference between fifth graders and seniors in high school. I am hopeful this plan works. If it does, we might want to look at something similar in the future simply because of the instructional time advantage (in my eyes, anyway). The current plan is to have coronation on Monday at 1:30. Student Council chose to move it to a time during the day because students were unable to attend in the evening. We will monitor how this works. Student Council has chosen different dress up days. They had talked about lunch time activities but may not have had time to plan these yet. More information will be in Barb's weekly bulletin this week.
