Message from the SuperintendentAs I conclude my first term as Superintendent of Schools, I continue to be impressed by the work of our employees and the many accomplishments of our students. This Annual Report of 2013 is designed to highlight those accomplishments and also provide our citizens with some general information about our schools.

Despite our declining financial resources, we continue to be recognized as one of the top performing and most efficient school systems in Maryland. Our vision is to ensure that all students meet high academic standards needed for success in today’s marketplace whether they attend college after graduation or go directly to employment.

Our Carroll County staff is dedicated to providing our students with an outstanding educational experience. We are also very fortunate here in Carroll County to have a wonderful community that supports education and goes above and beyond to support our schools.

Please take some time to browse through this report. After even a quick review, I think you will be able to see why we have such an outstanding school system and why we are known for our commitment to quality education.

Thank you for your continued support of our students. If you would like additional information that is not contained in this report, please visit our website at www.carrollk12.org or contact our Office of Community and Media Relations at 410-751-3020 or [email protected].

elementary, and middle school autism programs, plans are being developed for our high school program beginning with the 2015-2016 school year.

§ In-county programs continue to be developed to meet the needs of students previously needing non-public placements.

§ In conjunction with Technology Services, a Special Education Resource Center was developed to serve as a one site source for special educators in need of professional development, information regarding policy and procedures, and instructional strategies.

§ A county BEST program was established to meet the needs of students who need a smaller instructional environment with added emotional and social supports.

STUDENT SERVICES

Pupil Personnel§ The high school dropout rate decreased to 1.0%.§ The habitual truant rate was less than 1%.§ Launched an online out-of-district renewal program to improve efficiency

and decrease costs.§ Developed a parent/student education program, “Promoting School

Attendance”, in an effort to address chronic absenteeism.

School Psychology§ Ninety-eight Transition Program meetings were held to re-acclimatize

students to school after psychiatric hospitalization.§ Nine elementary students were successfully transitioned from the PRIDE

program back to their home school.§ The Social Understanding and Relationship Fundamentals (SURF) Summer

Program was offered to students identified with Autism and pragmatic language deficits. SURF was developed for elementary students with atypical development and includes typically developing peers who not only serve as role models but also, through their participation, learn compassion and acceptance of others.

School Counseling§ The 36th Annual Continuing Education Fair was held at the Danielle Shipley

Arena with over 130 colleges, universities, and technical schools represented. Approximately 2,000 students and parents attended.

§ AP fee waivers were provided to 157 students for a total of 295 exams.§ The Character Development Committee focused on the theme of resiliency

to promote student success and achievement. School counselors are participating in various professional development activities related to helping students build resiliency so that they are better able to handle obstacles and maximize achievement.

§ All school counselors develop and implement college and career readiness activities.

ADMINISTRATIVE SERVICES

Purchasing§Worked closely with Technology Services and School Construction to ensure

a successful opening of the new Mt. Airy Middle School. This involved continual review of the school’s needs for technology, furniture and equipment, while remaining within budget and ensuring timely deliveries. Also coordinated the moving of existing furniture from the old school to the new school to meet building and occupancy schedules, as well as teachers’ needs at the end of the school year. Successfully removed all remaining items through transfers to other schools, sales on PublicSurplus.com, and coordination with the Demolition and Salvage contractor.

§ Bid out recycling services for obsolete technology equipment and was able to secure a contract with a new firm that will meet our specifications while offering a higher return for this equipment.

§Worked with Transportation to establish a new procedure for awarding athletic bus services, which will help in containing costs while meeting the needs of each school’s athletic teams.

§ CCPS has partnered with Food for the Poor for disposal of obsolete and unsellable items, thus keeping these items out of the landfill while helping those in need.

§ Expanded the items offered for sale on PublicSurplus.com, which helps to put revenue back into the system.

Finance§ Successfully implemented online procurement card coding for all purchases.

Previously, cardholders manually completed a Journal Entry Form along with a Transaction Log that detailed the purchases for the month. These forms were then forwarded to the Finance Department for input into the accounting system. With online procurement card coding, the transactions are coded directly into the SunTrust Bank website and, after appropriate supervisory approval, extracted into our accounting system, thereby eliminating a duplication of input. Consequently, the expenditures are recorded in the accounting system much sooner than before, resulting in more real-time data available to administrators and supervisors. The Finance Department has approximately 350 procurement cards issued and outstanding.

§ The school system’s most recent Financial Audit and Single Audit of federal expenditures noted no exceptions in the administration and spending of its federal grants in the 2012-2013 fiscal year.

Payroll§ Successfully eliminated the cumbersome altered pay by transitioning

employee payrolls from biweekly to semi-monthly. An altered pay was required every 5-6 years due to the number of days in the calendar year not being perfectly divisible by 14 (the number of days in a bi-weekly payroll). Employees now receive their annual salary over 24 pays instead of 26, thereby eliminating the processing of two entire payrolls and becoming more efficient.

2013 DIVISION OF ADMINISTRATION HIGHLIGHTS
