INFORMATION ITEM:
EMERGENCY RESCUE UNITS
II.A.
Item Number
The School Board, Superintendent, and High School Principals of Seminole County Public Schools would
like to express our sincere thanks to the fire department rescue units of Altamonte Springs, Lake Mary,
Longwood, Oviedo, Sanford, Winter Springs, and Seminole County, for the emergency rescue service
provided at our high school football games during the 2000 football season. The donation of your valuable
time and skills to the athletes and those attending our games provided a cost savings of more than
$7,000 to our schools.
We would also like to give special thanks to Chief Terry Schenk who coordinated the scheduling and
implementation of the units, and the chiefs of each fire department.

INFORMATION ITEM:
UNITARY STATUS MID-YEAR UPDATE
II.B.
Item Number
As indicated in the Superintendent’s September 6th video message to all faculty and staff, Student Equity
and Excellence challenges direct the efforts of teachers and administrators throughout the district and
support Unitary Status requirements. Principals and district administrators are adhering to time lines
defined in the June 2000 Consent Decree Compliance documents. Reporting formats and processes
have been developed and are being evaluated for data accuracy. The winter edition of the Student Equity
and Excellence Newsletter has been distributed to all instructional personnel for the purpose of continuing
student equity and excellence dialogue. Actions taken within the indicated areas are highlighted below.
Extracurricular Activities/Cheerleading – Executive Director, High Schools
District: The District Cheerleading Committee has continued to meet throughout the 2000-01 school year.
In addition to defining a common cheerleading philosophy that will appear in all cheerleading handbooks,
high school cheerleading sponsors have developed a common score sheet for 2001-02 try-outs. In order
to address cost containment, sponsors (1) shared supply sources that offer quality cheerleading items at
reasonable prices and have a reputation for timely deliveries, and (2) formulated a list of essential
cheerleading items. The competitive squad issue has generated emotional responses from the committee
and some community members. As currently structured, competitive squads have advanced tumbling
requirements, uniform requirements, and financial implications that impact cost containment. As of this
date, the committee is still discussing the role of competitive squads in the SCPS Cheerleading Program.
In order to assess student perceptions, an Extracurricular/Cheerleading Survey was developed and
administered to all students in grades 8-11 during the first week of December. High school head
cheerleading sponsors and middle school principals facilitated survey administration on each school
campus. Students were provided with an opportunity to comment on two or three (grades 8 and grades 911 respectively) of the questions. Comment summaries were prepared by each school contact.
Approximately 70% (13,000/18,500) of student surveys were tallied. Surveys marked incorrectly could not
be tallied. Survey data was disaggregated by gender and then by race/ethnicity. According to district
survey results, 52% of males and 55% of females are involved in at least one extracurricular activity. Male
and female participation rates increased steadily from grades 8 through 11. It is interesting to note that
48% of males and 53% of females felt more could be done to encourage students to participate in
extracurricular activities. Males and females both identified “skills” as the most important reason
cheerleaders are selected. Financial considerations, transportation, and popularity issues were the three
most frequent comments by females related to barriers to participation. An analysis of survey responses
by gender and ethnicity indicated that cost is a significant factor for minority females.
School: Secondary principals are currently implementing the strategies defined in their extracurricular
action plans. In particular, action plans address any under-representation, seek to eliminate barriers to
student participation due to related expenses, and ensure recruitment of a diverse group of judges and
sponsors. As previously stated, secondary schools facilitated survey administration and summarized
student comments.
Reporting: Personnel at high schools and middle schools are currently gathering extracurricular data for
the 2000-01 school year. Reporting criteria for all extracurricular activities includes the number and
percentage of students participating in each activity, disaggregated by gender, race/ethnicity, and
socioeconomic status. In addition, school personnel report the number and percentage of judges and
sponsors disaggregated by race/ethnicity. Currently, the final submission report is generated at the district
Page 2
office by inputting school data into excel spread sheets. Information Services personnel are investigating
options for generating this report from the SASI database for the 2001-02 school year. Preliminary data
suggests that the percentage of black students participating in cheerleading is increasing.
Faculty Recruitment and Hiring – Executive Director, Human Resources
District: Race/ratio data are monitored regularly to ensure district wide diversity. The Recruitment
Administrator, the Principal for Recruitment and Retention, continues to aggressively recruit, mentor and
support new faculty. In addition, the Recruitment Administrator has made contact with education
department personnel at historically black colleges in order to develop professional relationships that
support recruiting efforts. The Recruitment Administrator is currently working with district and schoolbased administrators to develop strategies and processes to retain newly-hired faculty members. A
Teacher Recruitment and Retention Advisory Committee has been established. Exit interviews are being
conducted to determine reasons that faculty leave our school district. The Recruitment Administrator has
participated in several recruitment fairs and anticipates attending approximately 25 fairs before the end of
May. Since August of 2000, a total of 21 interns have been hired; 13 through recruitment fairs and walk-in
applications.
School: As indicated in the time line, principals and cost center supervisors received race-ratio reports in
October 2000. Race/ratio reports will be provided to all principals and cost center supervisors on June 1,
2001.
Reporting: Faculty and Staff Report criteria includes:
1. The number and percentage of full-time and part-time teachers, by race/ethnicity in the district
and at each school in the district;
2. The number and percentage of certified and non-certified staff at the central office by position and
by race/ethnicity;
3. The number of applicants for each vacancy by race/ethnicity, school positions being filled, rank
and type of certificates, area of endorsement and highest degree earned;
4. Identification of whom offers were made to fill each vacancy (separating certified and non-certified
staff), by position filled, school, race/ethnicity, and whether the person ultimately hired was an
existing employee of the school district at the time or a new hire. If an existing employee, the
departing school and position are identified;
5. A report listing all recruitment trips, date and duration of each visit, whether or not the school is a
minority institution, and the race/ethnicity and position of the recruiters visiting the school; and
6. A report of the status of increasing the diversity of the district’s teachers, hiring critical shortage
area teachers, and increasing central office diversity.
Reports one and two have been developed and shared with principals and cost center supervisors for
feedback and validation. Reports three and four have been developed and are in the production phase.
Human Resources personnel are validating data. Draft formats for reports five and six have been
developed by the Principal for Recruitment and Retention. All schools were within the district defined 3%13% black/nonblack ratio at the October 2000 report period.
Higher Level Course Participation – Executive Director, Instructional Support Services
District: The Standards and Access: Mapping Academic Potential (M.A.P.) Committee continues to work
on five main objectives. The objective one subcommittee, Curriculum Alignment, Assessment and
Articulation, has aligned the K-8 Science curriculum, as well as the K-12 Language Arts, Mathematics,
and Social Studies curricula. These documents are in draft form, are being reviewed, and will be ready for
distribution for the 2001-02 school year. This subcommittee also surveyed elementary and middle school
principals to gather data about study skills and determine if there is a need to develop or identify study
skill support materials. Subcommittee two is examining policies, practices, and procedures that may have
Page 3
the effect of creating real or perceived barriers to student participation in higher level courses.
Professional Development, subcommittee three, has planned a series of Vertical Teaming and Building
District: (continued)
Success workshops for the summer of 2001. These workshops are organized by simplified feeder
patterns in order to foster K-12 dialogue. Simplified feeder patterns are arranged according to high
schools, with each middle and elementary school aligned with one high school. Realizing that several
elementary and middle schools feed each high school, information from all simplified feeder pattern
groups will be shared with representative from all schools. The Student Identification, Recruitment, and
Support subcommittee, objective four, has renewed involvement with Seminole Community College’s
College Reach Out Program (C.R.O.P.). Over 250 Seminole County middle and high school students are
now being served by C.R.O.P. The objective four subcommittee, in conjunction with the Exceptional
Student Support Services (ESSS) Gifted Program Coordinator, has facilitated development of two
elementary talent development units. This subcommittee is investigating the process for developing a
middle school course choice website for elementary students by communicating with educators in Maine
and Texas who are involved in this project for their respective districts. The Communications/Public
Relations sub-committee has completed a higher level course brochure, Road Rules for Academic
Success, and a higher level course recruitment video, Road Rules for Mapping the Future. This
committee is now working to establish distribution networks for both the brochure and the video.
Higher Level Course Liaisons are school-based personnel responsible for monitoring strategies to recruit,
retain and support higher level course participation for all students, and in particular black students. The
higher level course liaisons second meeting was structured in simplified feeder pattern groups in order to
share K-12 strategies being implemented among a cluster group of schools. Each liaison feeder group
has identified three actions that will support all of their feeder pattern schools. For example, a high school
mathematics teacher may agree to attend an elementary parent night to discuss the importance of
preparing to take and pass Algebra I by the end of grade 8 or grade 9. This type of exchange supports
the efforts of the high school, as well as the efforts of all of the elementary and middle schools within that
feeder pattern.
The Curriculum Department has offered several workshops for teachers related to teaching algebraic
concepts and preparing students to successfully pass Algebra I by the end of grade eight or grade nine.
In particular, a series of Algebraic Thinking workshops for elementary teachers began in January of 2001.
School: Principals have implemented strategies identified in their higher level course action plans.
Elementary principals are working on communicating the importance of elementary students and parents
recognizing the need for preparing for higher level course participation while at the elementary level, and
using multiple criteria to identify and develop students’ academic talents. Secondary principals action
plans include higher level course communication to all stakeholders and strategies to support increased,
diverse student participation by recruiting, retaining, and supporting students. Secondary principals have
developed standardized higher level course enrollment criteria. At all levels, principals are mounting
multiple efforts to support students who undertake challenging courses. On each campus liaisons are
facilitating and monitoring student participation in higher level courses, with a particular emphasis on
reaching out to black students and parents. Several schools are in the process of receiving Ruby Payne’s
training, A Framework for Understanding Poverty, to enhance efforts to support students of all
races/ethnicities from low socioeconomic environments.
Page 4
Reporting: Higher Level Course Report criteria includes:
1. Standards and Access: Mapping Academic Potential (M.A.P.) Committee findings and
recommendations to the Superintendent;
2. Higher Level Courses Offerings and Practices Report;
3. The number and percentage of students taking Level 3, Honors, and Advanced Placement (A.P.)
courses by school, by race/ethnicity, and by course (duplicated count);
4. The number and percentage of students earning Level 3 and above on A.P. examinations by
school, by race/ethnicity, and by course (duplicated count); and
5. (For the July 2002 report) The number and percentage of students that take and pass Algebra I in
grade eight and grade nine disaggregated by school, by race/ethnicity.
Report one will be completed during late spring in order to include feedback from principals, higher level
course liaisons and M.A.P. Committee members regarding the effectiveness of 2000-01 action plan
strategies. Report two is in draft form. Reports three and four have been developed and are in the
process of being validated. Report five has been developed and is in the process of being validated. Data
generated from report five will provide baseline comparative data for the July 2002 report. Preliminary
data from reports three and four suggest that the numbers of all students enrolled in higher level courses
are increasing, and that the percentages of Black and Hispanic students enrolled in advanced courses
are increasing.
Gifted Program, Executive Director, Instructional Support Services
District: Staffing Resource Specialists have reported K-12 gifted process data and elementary talent
development data for the second quarter. The ESSS Gifted Program Coordinator has met with the Gifted
Advisory Committee to review data and revise gifted communication materials, and with teachers of the
gifted to review gifted processes and strategies. The Gifted Program Coordinator has facilitated
development and distribution of the first two elementary talent development modules. Four additional
elementary talent development models will be developed and distributed to elementary principals for the
start of the 2001-02 school year.
School: As indicated above, elementary schools have implemented Talent Development Programs and
received two talent development modules. Module one focuses on thinking skills and module two focuses
on inventions. These talent development modules are designed for use by a regular education teacher or
teacher of the gifted and emphasize teaching specific skills that support success in higher level academic
and gifted courses. Principals have designed various talent development implementation models. By
March 15, 2001 elementary principals will respond to a feedback survey designed to assess both the
Talent Development Program and the effectiveness of the first two talent development modules.
Reporting: Gifted Report criteria includes:
1. The number and percentage of students by school, by race/ethnicity identified as gifted and
enrolled in the gifted program;
2. The number and percentage of students, by school, by race/ethnicity, by socio-economic status
and special needs exceptionality who were referred, screened, identified, and served in the gifted
program; and
3. Analysis of data and recommendations to the Superintendent.
Reports one and two have been developed and shared with ESSS personnel and principals for validation.
The Gifted Advisory Committee is scheduled to review preliminary gifted data on March 7, 2001. Gifted
Process and Talent Development data are reviewed quarterly for the purpose of monitoring practices and
student participation. Report three will be completed at the end of the school year. Preliminary district
mid-year data suggests that the percentage of black students enrolled in the gifted program is increasing.
Page 5
Mental Disabilities Program, Executive Director, Instructional Support Services
District: Staffing Resource Specialists have reported K-12 mental disabilities enrollment and process data
on a monthly basis. The ESSS Mental Disabilities Program Coordinator has met with Staffing Resource
Specialists and ESSS teachers to discuss the process for evaluating and supporting students in the
mental disabilities program. In addition, several strategy and program workshops have been offered.
Particular emphasis has been placed on supporting students in inclusion and mainstream settings.
School: Principals and teachers have received information regarding pre-referral, referral, evaluation, and
reassessment strategies for the mental disabilities programs. Students are being reevaluated to increase
accuracy of exceptional student services.
Reporting: Mental Disabilities Report criteria includes:
1. The number and percentage of students by school, by race/ethnicity, by socioeconomic status
and special needs exceptionality who were referred, screened, identified and served in the mental
disabilities program;
2. Quarterly reports documenting compliance with District procedures; and
3. Analysis of data and recommendations to the Superintendent.
Report one has been developed and is in the process of being validated. The ESSS Mental Disabilities
Program Coordinator generates report two on an on-going basis. Report three will be completed at the
end of the school year. Preliminary district mid-year data suggests that the percentage of black students
enrolled in the mental disabilities program is remaining stable. However, upon further analysis, it appears
that out-of-district new enrollees who are legally required to be served in the designated program are
effecting the enrollment data. These new students are placed into the mental disabilities program as
required, and are scheduled for reevaluations to determine appropriateness of placement. This data will
be further disaggregated to determine the impact of out-of-district enrollees on Seminole County’s
statistics.
Discipline – Executive Director, Middle Schools
District: The K-12 District Discipline Advisory Committee has continued to meet throughout the school
year. Committee members include parents, Multicultural Committee Representatives, teachers, school
administrators and district administrators. The committee’s long term goals are to review the district’s
substantive due process, fair notice requirement, procedural due process, and conduct a reality check to
examine the effects of implementing the rules, consequences and procedures associated with the
management of student conduct. The committee is conducting an in-depth review of the Elementary and
Secondary Codes of Conduct, with particular emphasis on the sections titled Definitions of Infractions and
Misconduct and the Matrix of Infractions and Consequences.
School: Principals are implementing the strategies defined in their discipline action plans. School-based
discipline training for faculty and staff is in progress. Several administrators attended the discipline
workshop conducted by Dr. Randy Sprick on December14, 2000. Principals have established schoolbased discipline teams as part of their School Advisory Councils.
Reporting: Discipline Report criteria includes:
1. For the district and each school, the numbers of students receiving disciplinary sanctions
(duplicated and unduplicated), the numbers of students receiving in school and out of school
suspensions (duplicated and unduplicated), disaggregated by race and ethnicity;
2. The infractions for which the disciplinary sanctions were imposed disaggregated by race/ethnicity;
3. The sanctions imposed by infractions disaggregated by race and ethnicity; and
4. Recommendations from the District Discipline Advisory Committee.
Page 6
Reports one, two, and three have been developed and are being validated. Report four will be completed
at the end of the school year. Quarterly discipline data are being evaluated.
Student Assignment - Executive Director, Instructional Support Services
Reporting: Student Assignment Report criteria includes:
1. The number and percentage of students by race/ethnicity enrolled in the district, and
2. The number and percentage of students by race/ethnicity enrolled in each school in the district.
Reports one and two are based on October 2000 Survey 2 enrollment data. Both reports have been
completed.
Facilities - Executive Director, Facilities Planning
Reporting: Facilities Report Criteria includes:
1. Crooms Academy of Information Technology facility, equipment, and programmatic
improvements planned for and/or implemented, including a statement regarding the costs of each
such improvement and a commitment to fund each phase; and
2. Lyman High School facility improvements planned for and/or implemented, including a statement
regarding the cost of each phase and a commitment to fund each phase.
Reports one and two reflect the on-going improvements planned for Crooms Academy of Information
Technology and Lyman High School.
Please Note: Per Board request, Extracurricular/Cheerleading Committee, Mapping Academic
Potential Committee, and Discipline Committee meeting minutes and sign-in sheets are provided
to the Board on an on-going basis.

OVIEDO HIGH SCHOOL CLASSROOM RENOVATIONS:
APPROVAL OF SELECTION COMMITTEE’S
RECOMMENDATION FOR CONSTRUCTION MANAGEMENT
SERVICES
III.F.
Item Number
The Superintendent’s recommendation will be presented in the addenda package.
The District’s 5-year Capital Improvement Plan identified a project for FY 2000/01 to remedy moisture
intrusion problems in three classroom buildings at Oviedo High School. The project will consist of
extensive repairs to the exterior stucco wall system and windows for Buildings 10, 11 and 12. It is
recommended that the services of a Construction Manager be utilized since the campus will be fully
occupied during construction.
On February 9, 2001 the selection committee will interview five construction management firms. The
committee members were:
• Diane Bauer, School Board Member
• Ben Celones, Business Advisory Board Member
• Bobby Lundquist, School Principal
• Jacqueline Torbert, Parent Representative
• Scott Stegall, Director of Capital Outlay
• Allen Nettles, Environmental Coordinator
And the firms that they will interview are as follows:
l Metric Constructors
l Clancy & Theys
l Wharton Smith
l Suitt Construction
l 3-DI
The committee’s recommendation for the rankings of the firms will be presented to the School Board in
the Addendum because of the tight time frame for this project. Upon Board approval of the rankings,
the Facilities Planning Department will begin contract negotiations with the top ranked firm. The final
project scope and guaranteed maximum price (GMP) will be presented to the School Board for
approval at a later date. Construction is tentatively scheduled to commence in late May of 2001 to
take full advantage of the summer break.

INSTRUCTIONAL STAFFING FORMULA
APPROVAL OF METHODOLOGY
VII.A.
Item Number
That the School Board of Seminole County approve the instructional staffing formula methodology as
presented to provide differential staffing based on the “at-risk” profile of the school and special
program initiatives endorsed and supported by the School Board.
Staff has been working with groups of principals over the past two years to develop a new instructional
staffing formula that would address the following:
• Provide an easily adjustable calculation to respond to various funding challenges
• Provide more resources to the schools with the greatest need
• Provide an objective assessment of need at each school
• Provide the number and types of resources to each school based on demonstrated student
interest and need
The attached methodology accomplishes these goals and provides a formula that relies upon the
following assumptions and principles:
•
Instructional staffing allocations are based on the following factors:
∗
Student enrollment
∗
Program requirements
∗
Union contract requirements
∗
“At risk” profile of the school community
∗
FEFP funding for special programs
•
Schools that are more “at risk” will receive more resources by applying a differential factor to
increase the initial allocation. The differential factor is a measure of the performance risk and
is designed to increase the allocations for the schools with the most need.
•
The “at risk” differential is based on three factors
1. % of students absent more than 20 days (State report from previous year)
2. % of students receiving free/reduced lunch (SASI)
3. % of students currently enrolled that were not enrolled at the start of school (SASI)
•
Programs may have various class size requirements and staffing will be adjusted to
accommodate the recommended class size.
•
A conversion factor may be applied to magnet schools and other schools with specifically
approved special programs or initiatives to increase the staffing appropriately. In some cases
the conversion factor may replace the differential factor.
•
Staffing adjustments and increases beyond the initial divisor are proportionate to the student
enrollment.
Page 21
•
Guidelines for the local distribution of resources at the elementary, middle, and high school
levels, as well as special programs, are included.
•
Principals will work within the guidelines to determine the use of allocations, but will have
flexibility to use the units for class size reduction, technology support, resource programs,
special course offerings, etc.
•
Principals will review their plans for the use of these resources and the performance results
with their Executive Directors.
•
Each year the Board will review and approve the following elements of the formula based on
budget constraints and improvement initiatives:
∗
Initial divisor for elementary, middle, and high schools
∗
Amount and extent of differential factor increases
∗
Amount and extent of conversion factors for magnet programs, special initiatives, 4 block
scheduling, and/or 7 period schedules
Following approval of the methodology, staff will

determined the initial divisor, the differential factor
awarded an additional conversion factor to support
options.

ELEMENTARY SCHOOL METHODOLOGY
1. Establish a K-5 enrollment projection for each school.
2. Determine the projected number of self-contained ESE K-5 students.
3. Subtract the number of self-contained ESE students from the total projection.
4. Divide the new total by the established divisor to determine the number of teacher
allocations.
5. Multiply the number of teachers by the differential factor to determine the revised number
of teachers.
6. Apply the conversion factor to the original number if applicable to determine the number
of additional allocations. The conversion factor increases the allocations needed for
magnet programs and other special initiatives.
7. Add the number of self-contained ESE teacher allocations.
8. Establish ESE, ESOL, and Gifted staffing requirements by school. These units are
assigned accordingly, and are not flexible.
9.
Additional units are assigned as needed to remain within the established class size
ranges.
Guidelines:
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
Staffing decisions must support the district target goals for Educational Excellence
and Equity.
Reading, language arts, math, science, social studies, physical education, art, and
music must be taught.
Reading must be a priority.
Class size for grades K-2 classes should be within the 19-24 range; grades 3-5
should be within the 24-29 range.
No regular academic class shall exceed 32 without approval of the Executive Director
and a report to the School Board.
Special education classes should follow the special programs guidelines and shall
not exceed the thresholds on the conversion chart without approval of the Executive
Director and the ESSS Director.
Accommodations must be made for technology support and low-achieving students.
MIDDLE AND HIGH SCHOOL METHODOLOGY
The secondary staffing formula is a two step process. The initial allocation is based solely on
total enrollment (basic, ESE, ESOL, ROTC, etc). That allocation is then increased after the
master schedule is completed to compensate for the smaller class sizes required by special
programs.
Step One:
1. Establish an enrollment projection for each school. This projection includes all students,
including ROTC, ESE, etc.
2. Divide the total enrollment by the established divisor to determine the number of teacher
allocations.
3. Multiply the number of teachers by the differential factor to determine the revised number
of teachers.
4. Apply the conversion factor (if applicable) to the original number of units to determine the
number of additional allocations. The conversion factor increases the allocations needed
for magnet programs and other approved initiatives.
5. No other units are allocated until the master schedule is completed and reviewed.
Step Two:
Following an appropriate review and validation of the schedule, additional units will be
allocated to accommodate 8th grade students at high school and the smaller class sizes
associated with specialty programs such as ESOL, Vocational, and ESE. There is no
additional allocation for ROTC. Those additional allocations are calculated as follows:
a. The maximum class size is established for the program.
b. The master schedule determines how many sections of each program are
required.
c. The total number of sections is divided by 5 (teacher class load) and then
multiplied by the conversion factor associated with the appropriate class size.
d. These additional allocations are added to the total. These additional units do not
represent the total number of teacher units allocated for the program…only the
additional units required to make up the class size difference between the basic
allocation (original divisor) and program class size requirement.
Conversion table: (This table is calculated assuming a divisor of 23 for middle
schools and 24 for high schools. The factors must be adjusted if the divisor is
changed):

Guidelines:
•
•
Staffing decisions must support the district target goals for Educational Excellence
and Equity.
In core academic classes, every effort must be made to limit the number of students
per teacher to 750/week (conforming to SACS standard).
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
Regular class size should be within the 24-32 range.
No core academic class shall exceed 35 without approval of the Executive Director
and a report to the School Board.
Special education classes should follow the special programs guidelines and shall
not exceed the thresholds on the conversion chart without approval of the Executive
Director and the ESSS Director.
Applied technology classes should be limited to the capacity of the designed
facilities.
Every effort must be made to ensure that the number of mainstream ESE students in
any applied technology course does not exceed 15%.
Every effort must be made to ensure that no more than 33% of a co-teaching class
be ESE students.
Accommodations must be made for athletic trainers, technology support, ISS (inschool suspension), ESOL language arts for each grade level, high level course
initiatives, and for low-achieving students.

INFORMATION ITEM:
SCHOOL IMPROVEMENT PLANS
VIII.B.
Item Number
At a training session held on January 22, 2001, the principals and School Advisory Councils received a
copy of a Sample School Improvement Plan. This plan gives them an opportunity to see any changes
that may have been made since last year as well as give them directions for this year’s SIP. The
format and accompanying instructions/explanations were developed by a sub committee of the District
Leadership Team, Susan Hayne, Paul Finnegan, Pat Milliot, and Marion Dailey and approved by the
full committee at their meeting on November 6, 2000. The plan includes highlighted information that
explains what the plan should contain followed by an example. This is provided for the Board’s review
and should help them when reviewing the plans when submitted this summer.

EVALUATION
2000-2001
Evaluation of our 2000-2001 SCHOOL IMPROVEMENT PLAN revealed:
The evaluation of your plan should include a statement of the original objectives and a statement as to whether objectives were met/not met.
EXAMPLE:
GOAL 3:
2 of 3 objectives met.
-Objective 1 met- By June 2001, the percentage of the 4th grade students scoring at 3.0 on the FCAT Writing will increase from 53%
to 57% (79 of 140). The objective was met because 67% (94 of 140) of the students scored at 3.0 or better.
-Objective 2 met- By June 2001, the percentage of the 5th grade students scoring at level 3 or above in FCAT Math will increase from
47% to 50% (75 of 150). The objective was met because 56% (78 of 140) students scored at level 3 or above in FCAT Math.
-Objective 3 not met- By June 2001, the percentage of 4th grade students scoring at level 3 or above in FCAT Reading will increase
from 42% to 50% (70 of 140). The objective was not met because 47% (66 of 140) students scored at level 3 or above in FCAT
Reading.
If there are no objectives for a particular Goal, indicate maintenance statement by Goal.
EXAMPLE:
GOAL 7:
Maintenance
Include a precise statement on whether or not you have met adequate progress for the year. Adequate Progress is based on the total number
of objectives.
EXAMPLE:
OVERALL:
Name of School
Adequate progress met. 5 of 6 objectives were successfully completed. Adequate progress was defined as meeting 4 of 6 objectives;
therefore, the overall plan met adequate progress.

BUDGET FOR SCHOOL IMPROVEMENT DOLLARS
2000-2001
Your budget page should contain comments on the use of School Improvement funds ($10.00 per FTE) which must
be tied to specific school improvement goal/objectives: The intent of the school Improvement monies is to spend the
money on the students who earned it, therefore, a large carryover should only occur in rare circumstances. An
explanation of any carryover is desirable but must be submitted for anything over 20%.
EXAMPLE:
A carryover of $3,232 is left in order to pay for 10 slots of computer camp for summer of 2001.

INFORMATION ITEM:
GREENWOOD LAKES MIDDLE SCHOOL
TEMPORARY BUSING ACCOMMODATIONS
VIII.C.
Item Number
The School Safety Advisory Committee (SSAC) reviewed the construction of a trail between Greenwood
Boulevard and Green Way Boulevard. This trail placed eighty-seven (87) students in the Greenwood
Lakes zone within two miles of Greenwood Lakes Middle School.
SSAC recommended that school bus service be discontinued for the areas indicated in gray on the
attached map. In addition, a list of stops recommended for elimination is included. This will affect
approximately 90 students. The number of buses will be reduced by one in the middle school time
period. The decision is consistent with the district’s policy that student transportation is the responsibility
of the parent when the student lives two miles or less from a school. Some of the areas in the district
that are similar to this area are Sabal Point Elementary, on Wekiva Springs Road, Winter Springs
Elementary on State Road 434, and Forest City Elementary on Sand Lake Road.
It is recommended to continue bus service through the end of the school year since a large number of
students will be affected. Parents will be notified by February 20, 2001, that bus service will be
discontinued starting next year. Parents will also be notified that students may ride from existing stops on
a “Space Available Only” basis.

Greenwood Lakes Middle School
Greenwood Blvd. – Construction of a trail between Greenwood Blvd. and
Green Way Blvd. has resulted in an additional 87 students that are within two
miles of Greenwood Lakes Middle School. In addition, it makes a better path
for students in Regal Point Apartments and other communities in the area that
were already providing their own transportation.
Stops to be removed are:

Keeth
The Student Council at Keeth sponsored three projects during the month of December, the “Nearly New,
Barely Used Shoe Drive,” the “Giving Tree,” and “Share Your Christmas.” The goal of the “Nearly New,
Barely Used Shoe Drive” was to collect 300 pairs of shoes for the needy. Students watched the Shoemometer’s count rise daily in the school’s front hallway. Also in the front hallway was the “Giving Tree”
project. Students and classes selected an ornament with the name of a foster child and a gift suggestion.
Unwrapped gifts with the ornament name tags were collected and placed under the tree. Guidance
Counselor, Linda Townsley, and Student Council members delivered the gifts after December 12th. The
third activity theme of the month was “Share Your Christmas Food Drive,” sponsored by WESH-TV.
Students brought in canned food items with the Salvation Army distributing the food.
Instructors, Ginnie Urichko and Janice Saylor, lead in the preparations for the Winter Holiday Program.
Students (Grades 4-5) performed in “Once on a Housetop,” a musical with song and dance, celebrating
winter themes of cultural diversity. The performance was held in the Media Center on Thursday evening,
December 14, 2000, at 7:00 p.m.
Lawton
Lawton dedicated a new Environmental Study Area on Saturday, December 2, 2000, at 10:30 a.m. The
1.6-acre outdoor classroom consists of a covered teaching platform that overlooks a natural wetland area,
an upland butterfly garden and native plant garden, a boardwalk over the water, and a secluded teaching
area in a pine grove. Parents, teachers, staff, community members, and local businesses have worked for
five years to complete this project.
The idea for an outdoor environmental study area was conceived by Charlene Davenport, then a third
grade teacher. In 1995, her students wrote letters to state officials asking for help in cleaning up a
“swampy” section of the campus that had become a dumping ground for construction debris, automobile
tires, and household refuse. Many state agencies sent representatives to look at the property over the
next few months. Because the area included a wetland, they agreed that it was worth saving. Although no
state funds were available, Mrs. Davenport gathered a group of parents and teachers, and began
planning to develop the area independently.
The next year, Corbitt Truogg, a local Eagle Scout candidate, constructed an outdoor classroom in the
middle of a stand of majestic pine trees. A butterfly garden was designed by Karen Johnson, a parent,
and constructed with the help of Oviedo Rotary Club members. Over the next several years, numerous
agencies, area professionals, and local volunteers contributed hundreds of hours to clean up and restore
the area. Fundraising was arranged to finance the construction of a covered teaching platform and
boardwalk. Community members purchased personalized bricks, which were laid in the wetland area.
Profits from the brick sales, along with sizeable contributions from the Oviedo Rotary Club, Hodgskin
Outdoor Living, Inc., Lawton Elementary School, and PTA finally made the construction possible.
With donations from Hodgskin Outdoor Living and Eastcoast Supply, the covered platform and a section
of the boardwalk were completed. To tie the two areas together, Don King’s Concrete donated the labor
and materials necessary to build a walkway from the end of the boardwalk, through the garden area, to
the teaching platform. Mr. Bob Matherly of Weber and S.D.W. donated an entire weekend of his time to
lay the bricks that had been personalized by wetland supporters. Lastly, a ramp was needed to make the
Page 28
boardwalk accessible to all students, even during flood conditions. Wilson & Company, Inc., fit the job into
their already tight schedule and built it “at cost”.
Students will begin to use the area to observe a natural Florida habitat. The effects of drought or
extremely wet years on the wetland are dramatic, with water levels in the wetland rising or falling six or
seven feet. For example, the 2000-year was extremely dry, and consequently the “wetland” was almost
dry! The students can use dip nets and microscopes to study the plant and animal life in the water (when
there is water!). The life cycle of the butterfly can be studied in the garden area as well as the basic study
of plants and how they grow. The setting is also conducive for creative writing and artwork.
Spring Lake
Santa visited four Spring Lake teachers when they opened their mail on Thursday, December 14th.
Reading Enhancement Grants were approved for all the teachers who submitted them to the State. Each
project received $5,000.
The Physical Education Department of Spring Lake was pleased to provide a very exciting opportunity to
all students on November 30th. The Orlando Predators had a Training Camp Day at Spring Lake. Herkie
Walls, one of the most recognized players in Orlando Predator’s history, brought with him one of the most
challenging, yet most fun, training courses known to Spring Lake students. Students were encouraged to
wear black and red (The Orlando Predators’ colors) on “Camp Day” and spent their P.E. time bouncing
through the challenge course. All had fun, and we do mean all ages. Spring Lake was extremely grateful
to Herkie Walls and the Predators for making this fun day possible.
Spring Lake fourth grade students were greeted by Che-Hun-Ta-Mo as they visited an authentic
Seminole Village in the Florida Everglades and experienced traditional stories, arts, and crafts. Buses
departed from school on November 16, 2000, at 7:30 a.m., for this exciting overnight adventure. Upon
arrival at the Billy Swamp Safari, Chief Jim Billie, Chairman of the Seminole Tribe of Florida, greeted the
students. During a swamp buggy ride, the students encountered owls, snakes, alligators, wild pigs,
raccoons, opossums, and even water buffaloes. The next morning everyone visited the Ah-Tah-Thi-Ki
Museum, a guided 1.5-mile boardwalk tour. Students returned to school November 17, 2000, at 5:30 p.m.
exhausted but having had a wonderful educational experience they will always remember.
Spring Lake concluded the second session of their “Scienterrific Math” satellite learning center program at
the Orlando Science Center with parents and refreshments furnished by Costco. Students presented their
projects to other students, parents, WESH-TV and the Orlando Sentinel.
Costco’s “Spring Into Reading” program ended its first session with a field trip to Costco Warehouse and
a pizza lunch. This program provides one-to-one mentoring to students using the Phono-Graphix reading
method. This program will begin a second session in February 2001.
FCAT Parent Nights were held in December for fourth and fifth grade parents at Spring Lake. Spring Lake
was very excited to have Debbie Rogier, Seminole County Curriculum Resource Teacher, and Melissa
Forney, Consultant and Author, as the presenters. Spring Lake continues their efforts to assist parents
and students in the mastery of Florida Sunshine State Standards and prepare students for FCAT testing.
Title I “Parent to Kids” backpack program received a terrific turnout of approximately 200 parents. Spring
Lake is very grateful to Title I for their hard work, delicious dinner, and providing the books and backpacks
to the students.
Stenstrom
Three of Stenstrom’s Talent Development Clubs presented an evening showcase for parents on
Thursday, December 14, 2000. The art showcase included sculptures of masks, Olympic athletes, and
Page 29
robots. Stenstrom singers presented a program of “Peace” and the gymnastics club demonstrated their
acrobatic skills. These programs were also presented for students and staff throughout the day.
Wekiva
Wekiva students, families, and staff members participated in several service projects during the month of
December. The Wekiva Student Council sponsored a book collection for its “sister” school, Pine Crest
Elementary. Each student at Pine Crest received a new wrapped paperback book. Over 1000 books were
delivered to Pine Crest on December 12, 2000. Fifth grade IEP (Gifted program) students organized and
promoted a food drive in conjunction with WESH-TV. The IEP students and the class that collected the
most food donations delivered over 3000 items to the collection site on December 13, 2000. Wekiva
families also participated in Dr. Barry Levin’s “Nearly New, Barely Used Shoe Drive.” Over 600 pairs of
shoes were collected. The Wekiva staff “adopted” a needy Seminole County family for the holidays and
provided food, clothing, toys, school supplies, and other items for the family.
Winter Springs
As a community service the Winter Springs Elementary Student Council chose as a community service to
join WESH-TV for the 15th Annual Share Your Christmas community food drive. The goal was to collect
701 cans in five days. The outpouring of generosity from the students brought in 1060 cans.
Woodlands
Woodland’s PTA hosted a “Parent Without Pressure” workshop on December 7th and 14th. The workshop
focused on formulating fair rules, establishing motivating incentives, learning positive communication
techniques, and building a positive relationship between parent and child.
Woodlands staff celebrated the holiday season by providing a meal and three gifts per child for
seventeen Woodland’s families. Staff members picked angels listing specific gifts for children from the
tree in the front office. During the holiday get together, gifts were wrapped and food baskets were
prepared for each family. The staff felt this was a wonderful way to celebrate the holiday season.
Woodlands has received a $5,000.00 Reading Incentive Grant from the Florida Department of Education.
Cathy Brown, Literacy Specialist, wrote the grant for the purpose of providing a more extensive selection
of non-fiction guided reading material with an emphasis on the intermediate grades.
Mark Baltzell, Fifth Grade Teacher, held a Mystery Day for his students as a culmination to the Mystery
Unit in the Scholastic Program. On the way to an ice cream party, the students were surprised when they
found a “roped-off” crime scene full of curious items. Students used observation and data collection skills
to analyze and interpret clues in several lab stations. Students mapped the crime scene and used a
journal to log and organize clues for predictions. Many parent volunteers helped make this a wonderful
learning experience.
