INSTRUCTIONAL FOCUS
III.1.
Consideration of Approval/Acceptance(Per Discussion)to change the End-Of-Course Assessment Student Accountability Percentage to 10%
Discuss the rationale for changing the End-of-Course Assessment from 20% of the students final grade to 10%. This includes final grades for those students in Biology, Algebra II, English II, and U.S. History.
- The new Common Core Standards came out in the Spring of 2011.
- To prepare for the upcoming, 2011-2012 school year, all EIS teachers spend three (3) days in the summer working to deconstruct the Common Core Standards during the Summer of 2011.
- In the fall of this school year, we learned that the End-of-Course Exams were aligned with the ACT Quality Core Standards - therefore - in mid-stream our teachers had to redesign classroom instruction to align with ACT Quality Core Standards - not - the New Common Core Standards.
- Because of the timing of this change, we feel a need to change the student accountability percentage to 10%.
- We have every intention of increasing that percentage again next school year.
Per discussion, we will bring the item for possible approval/acceptance
IV.
CONSIDERATION OF ACCEPTANCE/APPROVAL RECEIPT AND REVIEW OF THE 2012-2013 DRAFT BUDGET
The Board needs to approve receipt and review of the 2012-2013 Draft Budget (ATTACHED). The Draft Budget review must be completed by January 31, 2012. State law (KRS 160.470(6)(a) requires that every local board of education receive a Draft Budget before January 31 for the upcoming school year. The law's purpose is to assure that the board has sufficient information about projected receipts and expenditures for all funds in the entire budget as allocations for individual budget components are considered. Table A contains an overview of the chronology for 2012-2013 budget decisions. The Draft Budget is a starting point in preparing the working budget for the 2012-2013 school year.
