Strategic Planning Committee

 

August 10, 2005

 

 

 

Dick Wilson welcomed the committee members back for the first Strategic Planning Committee of the 2005-2006 school year. Debbie Magnon Nolting, a high school teacher, was introduced as the newest member of the SPC.

 

Rita Polen share d the Results of an Aligned Curriculum with the committee. She noted that additional data had been included in the document. This data addressed Adequate Yearly Progress, AYP; the State Developed Alternative Assessment, SDAA; the Locally Developed Alternative Assessment, LDAA; TAKS Cohort Data, and Texas Primary Reading Inventory, TRPI. The committee reviewed the definitions for each new item and reviewed the changes in the other definitions (TAKS, End of Course, Dual Credit, and the Recommended High School Program). Some date is not available at this time (SAT and ACT results for 2004-2005), and it will be added to the document as soon as that data becomes available. The committee discussed this information and approved the document.

 

Debbie Magnon Nolting, Martha Rouse, Dabs Hollimon, Susan Bendele, Kay Magness and Rita Polen demonstrated the scope and sequence template to the SPC. Kay Magness shared a completed Career and Technology unit that she teaches as an example. The committee discussed the Timeline for the Development of the Scope and Sequence(s) and the Expectations for the Faculty and Administration. No changes were made to the documents. The template and the documents will be shared with the faculty on Monday, August 15.

 

Rita Polen told the committee that the research letter for parents will be distributed to all students on the first day of school. This information will also be shared with parents during Open House on each campus.

 

The SPC scheduled three additional meetings for the year. These will be on Wednesday, November 16, Wednesday, February 22, and Wednesday, May 17.
