Principal Peter Mosby instructed how to go on RRE website to get to the SAC information and how to find the Strategic Plan for the district.
Watched the DCSD Superintendent Liz Fagen video of an overview of the strategic plan.
Principal Mosby discussed and reviewed the outline of the staff meeting from 9-3-2014 in which the teachers reviewed the district strategic plan and outlined where RRE aligns with the plan as well as where RRE needs to improve.
Key Points:
System performance: Tuesday team meetings have been implemented. Each child is assessed to see how they are progressing. Goals for each child are set either for 1 year growth or to grade level, whichever is greater. Each case is evaluated for the need for an RTI (response to intervention)
There are no salary caps. Highly Effective teachers will get the higher percentage raises. This doesn’t affect the principals budget.
The staff is working on translating district and IB terminology for alignment.
Safety – doors locked, scanning people for entrance, bright vests, student light house, safety officers, and alignment with the district.
Next steps – playground monitoring and supervision, cafeteria and hallway safety, analyze security at doors, working on common language subfolders.
Choice – RRE is very attractive for its IB program, breakfast, leader in me, staff development, activities etc
Next steps – finish RRE video, continue to develop pathways, continue to add to new user friendly website, SAC marketing plan, leadership data notebooks, etc
Principal Mosby asked SAC to look at the Strategic Plan and he will take recommendations from SAC next meeting.
Question was asked about the issue of a new testing assessment possibility. Principal Mosby stated he didn’t see it affecting RRE in the near future.
Kevin Larson the president of the school board discussed further, stating the district is trying to champion how we can use the assessments in the best way for the kids. They are looking for relief from tests that aren’t helping.
Lastly Principal Mosby asked SAC their opinion of RRE calendar. SAC voted to recommend RRE move to the conventional schedule as to align with middle school and high school with a vote of 4-0 all in favor.
Next Sac Meeting:
October 28th, 2014
Library, 3:45-4:45
