Difference Between Whole Grade Sharing and Reorganization

School Newsletter

During our recent November school board meeting, the Alta and Aurelia boards participated in a presentation and discussion

facilitated by Dr. Tim Grieves, Chief Administrator with Northwest AEA. He presented on the topic of reorganization.

Primarily he lead the boards through Iowa Code 275 and how this relates to school reorganizations, the timelines involved, and

the process as a whole. Discussion was held on not only Iowa Code, but also how to structure a newly reorganized school board,

petitions, and dates a vote can legally be held. Many questions were asked concerning pro's and con's of reorganizing school

districts, examples of reorganization processes that have been most successful, and pit falls in the process to avoid.

So, what is the difference between whole grade sharing and reorganization?

In Whole Grade Sharing, two school districts agree to share students, classes, and staff but remain separate school districts. The

two districts maintain separate school boards, separated budgets, and separate taxing authorities. Currently, Alta and Aurelia

whole grade share students in middle school through high school. The boards are now learning more about a move to reorgani-

zation to determine if and when we should move to a true k-12 school merger through reorganization.

In reorganization (commonly referred to as ‘consolidation’). Two separate school districts join to become one new district

with one new school board, one budget and one taxing authority.

Whole Grade Sharing requires a vote of the school boards to approve. Reorganization (consolidation) requires a vote of the

public passed by simple majority.

There are pro’s and con’s to each. In the current Whole Grade Sharing Agreement between Alta and Aurelia there are a num-

ber of shared positions for which both districts receive additional funding (superintendent, business manager, transportation

director, curriculum coordinator to name a few). This additional funding would not be available if the two districts consolidat-

ed. For districts that vote to consolidate, there are some efficiencies gained and a small property tax incentive for three years.

The above mentioned loss in funds will not only be off-set by both districts applying for "jointly employed" funding, but fund-

ing would increase considerably for the final year of the whole grade sharing and the first three years of the reorganization . The

districts are eligible for "jointly employed" funding now that they have the same professional development plans, similar salary

schedules, and utilize the same evaluation process and instruments.

As the boards move forward in learning more about reorganization, information will be made public. Once it is determined to

pursue if reorganization is the proper fit or not for our situations, public surveys will be used, along with public meetings and

newsletters to get accurate information out to the public prior to any formal decisions being made.

Personally, as long as Alta and Aurelia remain together in whatever fashion the school boards and communities see fit, I view it

as a huge positive. As I am out visiting classrooms, I witness more students in the elective classes than in years prior to the

sharing agreement. Elective courses that would have literally had 2 or three students in the past now have double digits. Small

class sizes are great, but there comes a point where a class is so small that it impedes education. In some of our elective classes,

that is where we were when we were separate.

Because of our now larger student numbers, we are able to offer more elective classes at the high school and more exploratory

classes in the middle school than we have been able to offer in many years, and possibly ever. Advanced Science classes have

been developed, expanded offerings in Business, Family/Consumer Science, Business and Industrial Technology are now offered.

Karaoke Night at Alta Community Library

Multiple sections of elective classes as well as multiple sections of required classes are now offered, where, prior to the sharing

agreement, only one section may have been available in the schedule. This gives students greater choice and flexibility to take

classes in their areas of interest and need.

The extra-curricular and co-curricular offerings are richer together than when we were separate. Increased numbers have al-

lowed for multiple levels of competition in many of our activities.

There are strong numbers in our music programs at both middle school and high school. Interest is high and we anticipate

those numbers continuing to increase. Greater numbers in many of our co-curricular and extra-curricular programs gives us

the opportunity to now have truly developmental programs. Students aren't forced into situations where they have to compete

at levels above or below their skill levels, as was the case at times when both schools were separate.

The board of education for both Aurelia and Alta meet at joint monthly board meetings. Each gets to hear the discussions of

the other district and both boards are taking a keen, positive, interest in the business of the other. If you were to walk in the

board room as an observer, I think it would be difficult to determine who was an Alta board member and who was an Aurelia

board member. The discussion is positive and forthcoming. There is a sense of "team" that has been developed in the board

room. This is not only exciting and positive, but it will continue to have a positive impact in the classrooms and our students'

educational experience.

There are two questions that I have continually asked myself over the past six years, "Are we better together than on our own?"

and "Is being together better than the alternatives both school districts faced for their futures?" Based on what I am currently

witnessing, the answer to both questions is a definite "Yes!" I for one am looking positively to the future as Alta and Aurelia

continue to grow together for the benefit of our children’s education.

Lynn Evans, Superintendent

The Alta Community Library held Karaoke Night on November 4th for the

5th-8th Graders.

Kirk Langner of Midnight Entertainment led the teens in singing or line

dancing from 6:00-7:30 p.m. They also had a chance to join “The Big Tur-

key Hunt” and use Thanksgiving props for taking pictures.

The evening ended with pizza and pop.

Reorganization continued

Alta Community Library Annual Costume Party

On Friday, October 28th the Alta Community Library held its Annual Costume Party. The children picked up a treat bag and

went through a maze to reach the activity area where they decorated miniature pumpkins with Charlie Brown stickers, played

a Duck Pluck and a football toss game. In order to celebrate the 50th Anniversary of “it’s A Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown, the

children had their pictures taken in front of a back drop with Charlie Brown and watched the anniversary movie. The next

stop was the hallway, where they listened to the story and enjoyed a snack and drink. In order to receive the last prize, the

children were encouraged to check out a book or movie.

The library staff collaborated with the Maple Valley 4-H Club to host the event.

Alta Municipal Utilities and the City of Alta are sponsoring their 10th annual food drive to serve

the needy people in our community. The winter season is fast approaching and it brings addi-

tional hardships with it. Together, we can make a difference in the lives of the needy. We can

make sure that NO ONE in our community goes hungry during this upcoming holiday season.

The purpose of “No Hungry Neighbors” is to help feed the working poor, the unemployed, the

elderly, the disabled, the people on fixed incomes, the homeless, and those experiencing tempo-

rary emergencies. Our goal is to collect 4000 pounds of food this year. Donations will be given

to our local food pantry, The Lord’s Cupboard, for distribution.

Suggested food items include: canned meat, hot dogs, tuna, cereals, canned fruit, canned vegeta-

bles, packaged meals, jello, pudding, sugar, flour, juices, soups, spaghetti sauces, dry pasta, pea-

nut butter, dish soap, laundry detergent, and paper products.

Collection barrels are placed at City Hall, 223 Main Street. Office hours are from 7:30 a.m. –

4:30 p.m. If you wish to make arrangements for donation pick-up, please call City Hall at 200-

2105 or the Utility Office at 200-1122. Monetary donations would also be appreciated. Checks may be made out to “The Lord’s

Cupboard” and dropped off, or mailed, to City Hall.

Each donation, no matter how large or small, will play a significant part in helping our needy neighbors. Watch for updates on

the progress of the drive in reaching our goal of 4000 pounds on the local Altatec cable channel 3!
