  2. “Ensuring that every child in Rochester has access to world class content taught by world class teachers in schools led by world class leaders.” It Is About Every Child

  3. Achievement– Improving student achievement through a laser-like focus on teaching and learning with an emphasis on results. Equity - Equitable distribution of resources based on the needs of schools and students. Accountability – Use of data to ensure that we hold adults accountable for the success of all students. Three Core Values:

  4. Achievement The “What”

  17. Graduation Rate: Increase the graduation rate to 75% by 2012. In schools with a graduation rate at or above 75%, the target is to have 100% of students graduate by 2012. Regents Examinations: In each of the five required Regents subject areas, increase the percent of students who score at Levels 3 and 4 to 75% by 2012.

  18. The “How”

  19. Avoidable GAP TheThemes What school systems practice influences student learning.

  20. Avoidable GAP Avoidable Gap Recognition, Intervention, and Adjustment Avoidable GAP Monitoring: Compilation, Analysis, and Use of Data Avoidable GAP Instructional Programs, Practices, and Arrangements Staff Selection, Leadership, and Capacity Building Curriculum and Academic Goals What school systems practice influences student learning.

  21. District School Classroom Who’s Responsible for What? Curriculum and Academic Goals Staff Selection, Leadership, and Capacity Building Instructional Programs, Practices, and Arrangements Monitoring: Compilation, Analysis, and Use of Data Recognition, Intervention, and Adjustment

  22. Plan the flight, Fly the plan, But don’t fall in love with the plan. -Laurence Gonzales, Deep Survival: Who Lives, Who Dies, and Why

  23. Be open to a changing world and make corrections when necessary. We often fall in love with our plans and have great difficulties deviating even when the winds and data tell us otherwise. In education, we are famous for keeping on the same course even though we know better.

  24. 2009-2010 Superintendent’s Proposed Budget:The “FLIGHT PLAN” • Well defined curriculum and clear academic goals • The “What’s” - ELA - Math - Graduation - School Safety • Early and continuous assessments of students and programs - Proper planning and oversight • Continue to address challenges with Federal and State mandates

  25. 2009-2010 Superintendent’s Proposed Budget:The “CREW” • Building a highly competent crew • Training for administrators and teachers to increase student learning • Reviews of instructional programs, practices and arrangements

  26. 2009-2010 Superintendent’s Proposed BudgetNavigational Instruments Dashboard • Monitor and check performances • Easy access for the public • Increase monitoring by public Assessing Performance Data • More timely analysis • More timely academic intervention and adjustment for student learning Accountable Budget Book • Alignment of mission and goals • Fiduciary responsibility

  27. Budget Aligning Resources to the “What”

  28. RCSD's funding system must support and advance these core values

  29. Funding Principle: Horizontal Equity: Resource allocation varies widely across schools with 24 or 40% of schools more than 10% above or below the median $17.7K per pupil $9.6K per pupil Highest school is $8.1K (84%) higher than lowest school +10% Median=$12.5k -10% Education Resource Strategies Sources: RCSD budget 2008-09, Interviews, ERS analysis Note: School #57 Early Childhood has been excluded from charts because pre-Kindergarten students make up one-third of school ‘s enrollment.

  30. “Extreme Budget Makeover” • (City Newspaper headline, March 18, 2009) • School centered, not department driven • Dollars: Aligned directly to schools • Equity: Based on student needs • Budget and performance snapshot of each school: • Student demographics • Staffing ratios • Key academic indicators • Top-level budget data • Transparency: Easier to understand

  31. In a "Weighted Student Funding" based system, schools are predominantly given $s based on student enrollment and need. SCHOOL BUDGET USE: School Leaders must decide how to spend the money. $ per pupil based on need ELL Academic Intervention Gifted/Talented Poverty Special Education Teachers Principals Librarians Guidance Counselors Coaches Assistant Principals After-School Programs Enrichment Professional Development Curriculum Materials etc. School or Program Weights ($ per pupil) Foundation Grant ($ per pupil) Non-formula resources ($ per pupil, services, equipment or materials, or FTES) As determined by the Central Office

  32. However, WITHOUT accountability, capacity and flexibility, WSF is just another way to calculate school budgets. Accountability: School leaders are held accountable for student-outcomes and fiscal responsibility in return for increased control Support that builds capacity: Central office will provide support to schools in the form of: budget and academic planning assistance, training to help with strategic resource allocation and managing resources, and support services. Flexibility: District-wide policies and practices are changed to permit school leaders to use resources strategically Strategic Use of School-Level Resources Capacity Flexibility Accountability
