  1. Freehold Borough Public SchoolsESEA/Title I Presentation September 20, 2016 (FIS) September 21, 2016 (PAE/FLC)

  2. New Jersey and the Waiver Process • In order to waive certain provisions of NCLB, NJ had to adopt 4 principles: • Adopt College and Career Ready Expectations for All Students (CCSS and PARCC) • State-Developed Differentiated Recognition, Accountability, and Support System (priority, focus, and reward) • Support Effective Instruction and Leadership (new evaluation system-Marzano) • Reducing Duplication and Unnecessary Burden (less paperwork)

  3. Continued Provisions This Year • School Report Cards will no longer identify schools as SINIs, but the Performance Reports note if the school has a status (Priority, Focus, Reward) • School status no longer needs to be mailed to families • No longer a 20% SES or school choice reserve (SES tutoring is NOT a mandated intervention) • No longer a 10% SINI PD reserve • If district reports less than 100% of teachers as “Highly Qualified” they no longer need to develop an improvement plan

  4. Annual Measurable Objectives (AMOs) • The NJDOE will calculate AMOs for schools • The NJDOE calculated AMOs up to the 2016-2017 school year • Aim to close the achievement gap by half within the next 6 years • Annual equal increments set for total population and all applicable subgroups

  5. How Do We Know Our Targets? • The NJDOE will notify schools of their proficiency rates and targets. • Participation Rate • Measurement of Math and LAL • The targets will be included in the charts • Color coded: Green (met target), Red (did not meet target), and Yellow (“confidence interval”-making progress toward target)

  6. What If We Don’t Meet the Targets? • There are “no sanctions” for missing targets. • The AMOs and target designations will be noted in the School Performance Report for the public to see • Schools that did not meet their Progress Targets must develop a plan detailing how they will address the needs of student populations that did not meet their progress targets and other measures of student performance.

  7. Title I Schools • Need to complete a School Wide Plan • Parent Involvement has not changed • Schools will get an allocation (1% of total grant split between 3 schools) • Schools must distribute their Parent Involvement Plan and District Parent Involvement Policy. • Must complete a School-Parent Compact • Still need to distribute the “Right to Know” letter to parents (parents have the right to ask schools about a teachers qualifications) • Distribute Language Instruction Letter within 30 days after school starts (children enrolled in a bilingual program) • All of these will be posted on the website

  8. Elementary Schools… • Will still provide the quality programs, funded by the reduced Title I budget • Title I Summer Literacy and Math Program • JumpStart to Literacy (phonics interventions) • Extended Day Program for students in grades K-2 • Provide supports to students through Basic Skills teachers • Purchase of materials to enhance the learning experience for students • Parental Involvement Activities

  9. Middle School… • Will still provide the quality programs, funded by the reduced Title I budget • Freehold Intermediate School is a Focus School-30% of the Title I Allocation is set aside for their use. • Provide supports to students through Intervention teachers (in both ELA and Math), Literacy, Math, and Special Education Coaches, and a Parent Liaison • Extended day Homework Helper program • Funding for additional instructional supplies • Parental Involvement Activities

  10.
