AGENDA ITEM #5-REPORTS TO THE BOARD

B. Principal’s Report - M. Green Martina Green shared her Principal’s report. Highlights included:

Continuing sustained silent reading. Teacher feedback is that students are going beyond the allotted time. This is very encouraging as students are buying in to the reading program.

The exit exam is changing from FCAT to FSA. Martina Green told the board that they can access a sample on the FEST server. Susan Reiter asked if Martina Green could present the FSA format at a later date. Joy Baldree and Martina Green stated that the FSA will be difficult for our students and so instruction will need to change and address the new challenges. Students will need to develop critical thinking skills if they are to score well on this test. Staff members took the sample FSA and were also of the opinion that it would be a challenge to the kids. Martina stated, that in her opinion, the interface was not very user friendly either. In particular, she found the Math section interface quite challenging. This year will be baseline testing. The FSA works against an open entrance/ open exit model.

Student will view the award-winning movie Through the Tunnel as part of Black History Month. Movie highlights, Henry Lawrence, NFL star and Lincoln alum, and legendary Coach, Eddie Shannon, will be visiting the school and taking part in the event. Parents and community members have also been invited to attend.

C. Graduation Update - M. Green

The historic Manhattan Casino has been selected as the venue for the upcoming graduation. Commissioner Ken Welch has agreed to be the guest speaker.

D. Staffing Update: Science Teacher Search - M. Green

The school is still searching and interviewing for this position. E. Dev, Student Adv. & Comm. Partnerships Director Report - L. Hafner Dr. Hafner shared his report. Highlights included:

Dr. Lars Hafner worked with PSTA and MYcroSchool staff to have our UPass students participate in the PSTA Upass survey. Some key points that have come out of the survey include the breakdown of student use: 84% of students use the pass to get to school, 4% use the pass to get to work, and 8% use it for other purposes.

Dr. Hafner will continue to keep the board informed as negotiations commence for next year’s UPass program.


F. Florida Update - J. Baldree/M. Chamber Dr. Mary Chambers related that

The Association of American Educators Survey showed that 9 out of 10 teachers nationwide, of all 50 states, report using technology in the classroom. The survey also showed that 2 out of 3 teachers support blended learning model and that 2 out of 3 teachers support at least one online course. More than half gave unfavorable opinion of common core.

Florida House Republican Manny Diaz of Hialeah filed a bill to “stem failed charters”. The bill would require schools applying for charters to disclose whether they are affiliated with a previously failed school, create state funded at FSU to conduct research on charter accountability and performance and require DOE to gather charter school data, including closure rates and rates of financial and academic interventions at charters. During the House Choice and Innovation Subcommittee, Re. Diaz stated the legislation would help ensure “all are on the same page”.

In his budget, Governor Scott requested $260 more per student in an effort to bring education funding to historically high levels. Revenue collections are up, however, there is concern about Medicaid funding decline.

Addressing Accountability, there is a call for “fewer and better tests”. The Governor issued an Executive Order to delay the 11th grade language arts test until legislature can act. There is also a push for making the PERT optional. Tests should be on common core and not test a school’s readiness and capacity and not a student’s keyboarding skills.

G. NEWCorp/MYcroSchool/SIATech Update – J.Baldree

With no concordant tests for the FSA there will be a point where SAT will be a dead zone.

Citrus Charter school will soon be opening. A principal, Danita Eatman, is already on board. Citrus County is embracing MYcroSchool and has been extremely forthcoming in help and support. MYcroSchool will be the county’s first charter school.

Chad Jones presented Demario Scott as the MYcroSchool representative for the State Capitol Messenger Program. Demario Scott stated he was very happy and proud to represent the school during his week at the capitol. He acknowledges the opportunity as an honor and vowed to be a good spokesman for the school. He will be travelling from March 8-13th. Steven Humphries, school counselor, will be chaperoning Demario during this time.

Chad Jones shared his concerns about the student reading scores. He has been in contact with other board members and they have also expressed their interest in further developing the reading program. Chad Jones asked Demario Scott to describe the current sustained reading program.


Demario Scott explained that the students read for an allotted amount of time and then have a moment of reflection.

AGENDA ITEM 6-BOARD BUSINESS

H. Discuss/Approve Board Meeting Date Change

With a motion from Veatrice and a second by Jodi Vessenmeyer, the Board approved to table the board meeting change to the March meeting.

I. Discuss/Approve Affiniti Phone Service Proposal

Joy Baldree described the importance of having a phone system that

has a VOIT system. The phones would allow for intercom within the

entire Florida organization. The initial equipment cost is about $5000

but we would recoup that with the monthly savings over the current

monthly service. PECO funds would be used to purchase the

equipment. Should the change be approved, the school would

maintain service until the turnover. Both Joy Baldree and Martina

Green assured the board that the school would not be without service

during this process. Chad asked that the school check to see if there is

a fee for breaking the current contract and that the language in the

new contract limits the percent increase each year over the 36 month

contract.

With a motion from Susan Reiter and a second by Veatrice Farrell, the Board approved the Affiniti Phone Service Proposal if the school is no longer under contract and the new system is priced under $10,000.

J. Approve 5 p.m. Finance Workshop during May Board Meeting

With a motion from Jodi Vessenmeyer and a second by Susan Reiter, the Board approved to table the Finance Workshop date to the March meeting.

K. Proposed Agenda Items for Next Board Meeting-None

AGENDA ITEM 7-PUBLIC COMMENT ON NON-AGENDA ITEMS-None

AGENDA ITEM 8-ADJOURNMENT On a motion from Jodi Vessenmeyer and seconded by Susan Reiter, the Board unanimously agreed to adjourn the meeting at approximately 7:00 p.m.

Ms. Andrews has been working diligently to help students identify their

weaknesses in reading and create a plan to increase their reading

scores. Twelve of the students took the ACT for the first time; 4 of the 7

who took the ACT previously, increased their scores.

Mr. Nebro is providing direct instruction to students who are close to

passing the Algebra EOC. He is meeting with small groups each period

to review Algebra problems and prepare them for the Algebra EOC.

Students continue to participate in sustained silent reading during 2nd

and 6th period and teachers continue to provide opening lessons each

period to encourage critical thinking and problem solving as well as in-

creasing literacy skills.
