Included in this packet are the following: ♦ Introductory and Explanatory Materials ♦ North Carolina Standards for School Executives (Not included in packet for NC State Board of Education meeting) ♦ Rubric for Evaluating Principals ♦ Summary Principal Evaluation Form ♦ North Carolina School Principal Goal-Setting Form Introduction The mission of the North Carolina State Board of Education is that every public school student will graduate from high school, globally competitive for work and postsecondary education and prepared for life in the 21st Century. This mission requires a new vision of school leadership and dictates the need for a new type of school leader—an executive instead of an administrator. No longer are school leaders just maintaining the status quo by managing complex operations. Like their colleagues in business, they must be able to create schools as organizations that can learn and change quickly if they are to improve performance. Schools need principals who are adept at creating systems for change and building relationships with and across staff. These systems not only tap into the collective knowledge and insight they possess but also into the powerful relationships that stir their passions for their work with children. Out of these relationships the executive must create among staff a shared understanding for the purpose of the work of the school, its values that direct its action and commitment and ownership of a set of beliefs and goals that focus everyone’s decision-making. This common understanding of the school’s identity empowers them to seek and build powerful alliances and partnerships with students, parents and community stakeholders in order to enhance their ability to produce increased student achievement. The successful work of the new principal will only be realized in the creation of a culture in which leadership: • • • • is distributed among all members of the school community; consists of open, honest communication; is focused on the use of data, teamwork, researched-based practices; and, uses modern tools to drive ethical and principled, goal-oriented action. This culture of disciplined thought and action is rooted in the ability of the relationships among stakeholders to build a trusting, transparent environment that reduces stakeholders’ sense of vulnerability as they address the challenges of transformational change. The Purposes of the Evaluation The principal performance evaluation process will: • Serve as a guide for principals as they reflect upon and improve their effectiveness as school leaders; • Inform higher education programs in developing the content and requirements of degree programs that prepare future principals; • Focus the goals and objectives of districts as they support, monitor and evaluate their principals; • Guide professional development for principals; • Serve as a tool in developing coaching and mentoring programs for principals.

NC School Executives: Principals Revised May 2008 Instructions for Principal Evaluation Process The intended purpose of the principal evaluation process is to focus on formative professional development in a collegial, non-threatening way to assess the principal’s performance in relation to the Standards for School Executives. The principal will take the lead in conducting the evaluation process through the use of selfassessment, reflection and by gathering input from the various stakeholders with an interest in the leadership in the school. The input and evidence gathered by the principal is not intended to become part of a portfolio. Rather, it should provide a basis for self-assessment, goal-setting, professional development, and demonstration of performance on specific standards. The following outlines the principal evaluation process. Step 1: Orientation At the beginning of the school year, the superintendent/designee conducts a group orientation with all of the district principals. At this orientation, each principal will be provided a complete set of materials outlining the evaluation process. Step 2: Pre-Evaluation Planning Principals will, individually and without input from anyone else, complete a self-assessment using NC School Executive: Principal Evaluation Rubric. This self-assessment will serve as the basis for the preliminary goals form, which should be completed prior to Step 3. Step 3: Meeting with Superintendent/Designee Principals will meet individually with the district superintendent or a designee who has been delegated this responsibility to discuss the results of self evaluation, preliminary performance goals and the evidence and data to be gathered for the evaluation process. The principal and superintendent will agree on the data, evidence, and artifacts necessary to complete the evaluation process and confirm the principal’s level of performance. Step 4: Data Collection The principal will collect the data agreed upon in step 3. This data may include the artifacts listed for each standard on the rubric; feedback from parents, students, and the school community; document of professional development completed during the year; and other data to document achievement of performance goals. The district superintendent/designee will visit the school during this period in order to observe the environment and interact with teachers and other members of the school community. Step 5: Prepare a Consolidated Performance Assessment The principal will synthesize the information obtained under Step 4 in order to prepare a consolidated assessment, or comprehensive view of performance throughout the year. This brief summary of the data and artifacts used to judge performance should be provided to the superintendent/designee well in advance of the performance discussion at which final performance levels will be discussed. Step 6: Meeting Between Principal and Superintendent/Designee The principal and superintendent/designee will meet at the school to discuss progress in completing the evaluation process. They will discuss the self-assessment, consolidated assessment, and superintendent’s summary evaluation of the principal, which have been prepared in advance of the meeting. Should additional data or artifacts need to be brought into the discussion, the principal will have them readily available to share at that time. At this meeting, the principal and superintendent/designee will agree upon performance goals and recommendations for the Professional Growth Plan.

It clarifies that school officials must be notified by the employee in order to seek an informal resolution or to submit a grievance in accordance with policy 1750/7220, Grievance Procedure for Employees. Changes have been made to the policy to clarify terms and definitions. Also included in the policy are the following: • Timeline for handling complaints • Description of the “Process for Complaint” including reporting the complaint, investigation, investigator’s report, and appeal process. SEXUAL HARASSMENT COMPLAINT PROCEDURE FOR EMPLOYEES Policy Code: 1755/7237 The board takes seriously all complaints of discrimination.

A. INFORMAL RESOLUTION The board acknowledges that reports of harassment, including sexual harassment, may be addressed informally through such methods as conferences or mediation, and the board encourages the use of such procedures to the extent possible. If an informal process is used, the school official responding to the complaint must notify the complainant of his or her option to request formal procedures at any time and must make a copy of this policy and other relevant policies available. In addition, the school official must notify the assistant superintendent of human resources immediately. In those circumstances where informal procedures fail or are inappropriate or where the complainant requests formal procedures, the complaints will be investigated promptly, impartially and thoroughly according to the following procedure. B. DEFINITIONS Alleged harasser: complainant. the employee, student or visitor alleged to have harassed the Complainant: the employee complaining of being sexually harassed. Days: the working days, exclusive of Saturdays, Sundays, vacation days or holidays, as set forth in the aggrieved employee’s employment calendar. In counting days, the first day will be the first full working day following receipt of the complaint. When a complaint is submitted on or after May 1, time limits will consist of all weekdays (Monday - Friday) so that the matter may be resolved before the close of the school term or as soon thereafter as possible. Investigator: the school official responsible for investigating and responding to the complaint (which may be the director of human resources or other designated school official). C. TIMELINESS OF PROCESS BOARD OF EDUCATION POLICY MANUAL Page 1 of 6 Policy Code: 1755/7237 The number of days indicated at each level should be considered a maximum. Every effort should be made to expedite the process. Failure by the official at any step to communicate a decision within the specified time limit will permit the complainant to appeal the complaint to the next step unless the official has notified the complainant of the delay and the reason for the delay, such as the complexity of the investigation or report. The official will make reasonable efforts to keep the complainant apprised of progress being made during any period of delay. Delays may not impermissibly interfere with the exercise of any legal rights. Failure by the complainant at any step to appeal a complaint to the next step within the specified time limit will be considered acceptance of the decision at that step, unless the complainant has notified the official of a delay, the reason for the delay and the official has consented in writing to the delay. D. E. GENERAL REQUIREMENTS 1. No reprisals or disciplinary action of any kind will be taken by the board or by an employee of the school district against any party in interest or other employee on account of his or her filing of a complaint or participation in an investigation of a complaint filed and decided pursuant to this policy, unless the employee reporting the harassment or a participating employee knows or has reason to believe the report is false or knowingly provides false information. 2. All meetings and hearings conducted pursuant to this policy will be private. 3. The board and school district will consider requests to hear complaints from a group of complainants, but the board and officials have the discretion to respond to individual complainants. 4. The complainant may have a representative, including an attorney, at any stage of the complaint. 5.

Also noted were the tremendous improvements in the area of technology. The teachers acknowledge that the administrators handled performance evaluations appropriately and that they address concerns about facilities and resources. The mentoring program drew high marks regarding the provision of support especially within the same content areas. In the space below, comment on 3 or more areas of possible improvement noted in the Working Conditions Survey for your site for 2008: Work out the challenges with technology (additional wireless capacity, improved printers, etc.) and the need for appropriate and sufficient training in order to best utilize technology. Specific professional development needs include: subject area specific professional development, opportunities to observe and be observed by mentors, and to more evenly spread out the instructional leadership. The need to improve the level of mutual trust between teachers and administrators was noted as was the need for more consistent enforcement of rules and regulations. Also noted was a lack of common collaboration time, that duties interfere with the essential role of educating students, and that the school is a less than clean and safe environment. What are 2 significant changes or trends in survey results from 2006 to 2008? The level of trust of the administration by the faculty decreased While teachers indicated ample planning time they noted the amount of time devoted to collaboration went down. 10 South Asheboro Middle School Continuous Improvement and Title I Implementation Plan 2008-2009 Student Survey Results - 2008 In the space below, comment on 3 or more areas of strength noted in the Student Survey for your site for 2008: Eighty-eight percent of the students indicated that teachers expected them to do their best.

Together, the members of our Team have reached the following three (or more) significant conclusions about our school and/or our school community. These conclusions may reflect areas of celebration or areas requiring further development/improvement. These conclusions (and the data they are based upon) are a driving force behind our goals for the 2008-09 school year along with our intervention plan (which follows) for 2008-09. 1. While we celebrate the improvement in the level of our sixth grade math proficiency, we are very concerned about the decline in proficiency level among our seventh and eighth graders. With the eighth graders in algebra being “double tested” last year (eighth grade EOG and Algebra EOC) it is likely that the part of the 8th grade SCoS 12 South Asheboro Middle School Continuous Improvement and Title I Implementation Plan 2008-2009 that is not covered in Algebra 1 was part of the reason for the 6.9 percentage point decline in proficiency. We have noted that the goal related to geometry continues to lose ground over the last two years (-6 points in 6th grade; -9.4 points in seventh grade). There was only a minimal gain from 06-08 in eighth grade (+2.5) We must teach in such a way to spiral back through the geometry concepts throughout the year to ensure solid mastery. 2. The achievement gap between Hispanic and black students and their white counterparts continues to be very significant. (23.6 percentage points and 36.7 percentage points respectively) District Goal last year- Decrease Hispanic/white gap from 25% to 20%and decrease black/white gap from 36% to 25% leaving us with gaps of 3.6% and 11.7% greater than the district’s expectation. Related to this is that our algebra population last year was 75.6% white with the remaining 24.4% representing the remaining nearly 50% of the overall makeup of the grade level. As we work to establish higher expectations and provide a more rigorous program of study for all students, including the subgroups that are not well represented in our algebra program, the long term outcome will be a narrowing of the achievement gap and a more balanced algebra student population. 3. While we recognize and celebrate the increase in the amount of great new technology at SAMS we also recognize the need for better trouble shooting skills as well as professional development to help us better infuse the technology into our teaching repertoire. 4. Retention of quality teachers continues to be of great concern to us. The turnover rate at SAMS over the last three years is 20.56%. This is a critical issue in that we believe strongly that students learn best in an environment in which relationships are developed. Constant turnover such as this weakens our ability to develop and maintain caring relationships with our students throughout their SAMS careers. We are greatly concerned with the newly established timeline and rules regarding turnover and recognize that we will have one more year with a high turnover rate due to the changes that have taken place since March 08. The perceptions of staff and students in the Working Conditions Survey and the Student Survey indicate that improvements are needed to our school climate to make it a more positive environment. There exists a lack of trust and a lack of respect among those who make up the school community. Students who feel both welcomed and valued are more apt to want to be in school and participate in the full program. Likewise, teachers who are valued and respected are more likely to feel a part of a positive organization and will work harder as a part of the team to meet the challenges and goals and will want to stay in the organization. 13 South Asheboro Middle School Continuous Improvement and Title I Implementation Plan 2008-2009 D.

Overview: The focus at South Asheboro Middle School continues to be on teaching and learning in order to help all students experience high levels of success. To insure that students show progress, our plan is to implement intervention strategies for at-risk students that have not met grade level goals for academic success in mathematics. Focused intervention includes programs to address the needs of all students including not only those scoring below grade level but also those that are already achieving at or above grade level. The use of volunteers and tutors provides additional personnel to work with small groups and individual students based on student needs. B. Target Population: Based on End-of-Grade test results in math, identified subgroups compose the targeted population. The subgroups include black and limited English proficient students along with students with disabilities. C. Measurable Intended Outcomes: Students will have increased scores on the NC End-of-Grade test for mathematics as noted in goals one and two. D. Activities or Services To Be Provided: • • • • • • Small group instruction Parent and community volunteers Peer tutors Flexible groups based on learning needs of individual students Differentiation of instruction Involvement of math coach, ESL staff, and EC staff Any student scoring below grade level on the End-of-Grade test in math will be given the opportunity to take a retest. After the second test administration, students who still have not met grade level expectations will receive focused remediation before their third opportunity to test. E. Evaluation of Results: The results will be evaluated based on achievement gains on End-of-Grade testing in math. F. Budget: Remediation funds will be used to pay additional personnel for tutorial services provided and for supplies needed for small group sessions. 21 South Asheboro Middle School Continuous Improvement and Title I Implementation Plan 2008-2009 Waiver Requests The Waiver to be Requested: To use state funds allocated for textbooks to purchase textbooks which are not on the state-approved textbook list, should the need present itself.

Together, the members of our Team have reached the following three (or more) significant conclusions about our school and/or our school community. These conclusions may reflect areas of celebration or areas requiring further development/improvement. These conclusions (and the data they are based upon) are a driving force behind our goals for the 2008-09 school year along with our intervention plan (which follows) for 2008-09. 1. Over the past five years, our school has experienced a decline in the number of black students (from 83 to 65) and white students (from 221 to 169), while the number of Hispanic students (from 153 to 191) has risen. Of our 191 Hispanic students, 110 were Limited English Proficient. Our staff’s ability to successfully teach a diverse population led to an increase in growth. 12 North Asheboro Middle School Continuous Improvement and Title I Implementation Plan 2008-2009 2. Though there has been a small decrease in math percent proficient among the white cohort (7th grade -4.5%, 8th grade -2.0%), the closing of the achievement gap is largely due to significant growth in our black cohort (7th grade +5.8%, 8th grade +7.9%) and our Hispanic cohort (7th grade +6.4%, 8th grade +1.6%). 3. Although our computer skills test scores have consistently exceeded the state averages, our scores decreased from 82.4% in 2006-2007 to 73.6% in 2007-2008. 13 North Asheboro Middle School Continuous Improvement and Title I Implementation Plan 2008-2009 D.

Overview NAMS is continuously making a positive effort to close the achievement gap and to challenge all students to reach higher standards. We agree that children at every performance level should improve academically. Students who experience difficulty should be helped to reach proficiency and beyond. High performing students should reach even higher levels of achievement. Our goal is to assist all students in rising to higher levels of student proficiency. In addition to the Learning Focused Instructional Model we are incorporating the AVID program (Advancement Via Individual Determination) and continuing to incorporate GEARUP (Gaining Early Awareness and Readiness for Undergraduate Programs). Our school’s focus is on learning and achievement for all students. The teachers will utilize instructional methods that incorporate a concept-based approach to planning instruction. The NAMS faculty is participating in on-going, sustained staff development that is research-based in order to continue fulfilling the needs of our students in all curricular areas. Much of that staff development will be geared toward increased inclusion of technology in instruction. . 20 North Asheboro Middle School Continuous Improvement and Title I Implementation Plan 2008-2009 B. Target Population Focused intervention will be provided for all students who did not score at least a level 3 on the state’s EOG. Students will be assessed in their language arts and math classes for adequate progress, personalized education plans will be developed and focused intervention will be provided as needed. NAMS will continue its efforts to close the achievement gap. A review of 2007-2008 test results shows that several subgroups of our school population should be specifically targeted. Disaggregated data indicates that our individuals who receive free and reduced lunch, Limited English Proficient and Students with Disabilities and Hispanic Students and continue to trail White students in reading and math. However, for the first time our White students did not make AYP as a group. Our goals address the needs of these students specifically, while continuing to fulfill the needs of all students in raising achievement and narrowing the gap. C. Measurable Intended Outcomes • The percentage of students scoring at or above grade level will increase. • The NAMS reading and math composites will increase by at least three percentage points. • At least 75% of our students’ parent/guardians will attend at least one parent conference for the school year. D. Description of Activities or Services to be Provided Intervention plans/strategies may include but are not limited to the following: • After school teacher tutorials • Remediation before, during, and after school • Computer tutorials and instructional programs • Academic recognition and incentives • Parent/Community volunteers and partnerships • Use of Spanish resources that coincide with standard course of study • GEAR UP After School Action Team • NAMS Literacy Coach • AVID Afterhours • Summer Enrichment and Scholarships to NC Colleges and Universities 21 North Asheboro Middle School Continuous Improvement and Title I Implementation Plan 2008-2009 • • Student Led Conferences Math Blitz E.

2008-2009 Working Conditions Survey Information for the following table can be found at: http://ncteachingconditions.org/reports/ In the space below, comment on 3 or more areas of strength noted in the Working Conditions Survey for your site for 2008: -At AHS the group consensus expressed the category of facilities and resources as a definite strength. The clean environment and ready access to instructional materials, improved communications technology, and office equipment is more than adequate for all school employees to perform their assigned duties. -The continual support of leadership is another strength that allows the faculty to perform at a very high and productive level. -AHS also values the component of professional development. The opportunity to learn through this process allows for students to be exposed and experience many methods and models of learning. In the space below, comment on 3 or more areas of possible improvement noted in the Working Conditions Survey for your site for 2008: -The AHS faculty expressed a need to be more involved in the decision making process of the school , classroom, and teaching issues. - Another concern expressed in the current survey results was the time factor of planning and collaboration. Faculty members expressed concerns in the area of class preparation time and collaboration time with fellow faculty members. -The AHS faculty also expressed concerns for additional professional development time in areas regarding current school issues. What are 2 significant changes or trends in survey results from 2006 to 2008? -The survey results indicated that school leadership continued to be consistent and improved. Resources and facilities continued to be a positive factor and continued to improve. A slight change in faculty beliefs in having a say in decision making in school issues was evident. This decline could be attributed to a change in faculty members in the last couple of years. 10 Asheboro High School Continuous Improvement Plan 2008-2009 Student Survey Results - 2008 In the space below, comment on 3 or more areas of strength noted in the Student Survey for your site for 2008: • Teachers expect me to do my best (Q-12). 80% Agree/Strongly Agree • Teachers care about me as an individual (Q-16). 62.6% Agree/Strongly Agree • Teachers care if I’m absent from school (Q-17). 60.8% Agree/Strongly Agree • If I have a problem, I have a teacher with whom I can talk (Q-18). 59.9% Agree/ Strongly Agree • We have worked on building strong relationships with each individual student at AHS. The trend is indicative of a caring, nurturing staff that is engaged in the individual success of each student. Teachers have high expectations and goals for students learning. We are continuing to work hard to maintain the respect, relevance and the rigor on a daily basis. In the space below, comment on 3 or more areas of possible improvement noted in the Student Survey for your site for 2008: • School is preparing me well for my future (Q-15). 67.8% Agree/ Strongly Agree Not all students are college bound. There are students that are not planning to attend college for whatever reason. These students need training in skills to prepare themselves for employment upon high school graduation. We need to consider another small learning environment for vocational trades only. (Old Balfour School). • I’m afraid my friends won’t like me if I do well in school (Q-29). 8.1% Agree/ Strongly Agree You may find students who feel peer pressure to perform at a lower level than they are capable of due to the stigmatism of them being labeled “smart”. As professionals we should admire “smart”, not make students feel awkward or elevated up. Possibly have staff to be more conscientious of the adjectives they use to describe students in front of their peers. Use more describing words such as artistic, creative, intense, laid back, funny, etc. • My parents care about my education (Q-30). 86.6 % Agree/Strongly Agree We need to try to connect and involve parents more in their children’s school lives and activities. 11 Asheboro High School Continuous Improvement Plan 2008-2009 Adequate Yearly Progress Percent of AYP Targets Met 15 of 17 19 of 19 19 of 19 18 of 20 18 of 21 2003-2004 2004-2005 2005-2006 2006-2007 2007-2008 88.2% 100% 100% 90% 85.7 Targets Not Met Reading Math Not Met 0 0 2004-05 Confid Safe Interval Harbor Hispan; 0 F/R 0 0 Not Met 2005-06 Confid Interval Safe Harbor Not Met 0 0 3 Hispanic 1 1 0 F/R lunch 0 3 0 0 1 2006-07 Confid Safe Interval Harbor Not Met Black Hisp.

Together, the members of our Team have reached the following three (or more) significant conclusions about our school and/or our school community. These conclusions may reflect areas of celebration or areas requiring further development/improvement. These conclusions (and the data they are based upon) are a driving force behind our goals for the 2008-09 school year along with our intervention plan (which follows) for 2008-09. 1. Through the work and commitment of our central office funding for 21st century classrooms, AHS received training and technology to implement interactive technology in 20 classrooms in the 07‐08 school year. This initiative has enhanced instruction, focused learning and kept students and teachers actively engaged. The success in this area continues as the IMPACT grant trains teachers and equips 40 more classrooms throughout the 08‐09 school year. We anticipate student achievement to be positively affected as instruction becomes more interactive and learning becomes more participatory throughout the building. AHS data in US History and Algebra II reflect that more school focus is needed on building capacity in students to demonstrate proficiency and growth on End of course testing. Historical data show a decline in both US History and Algebra II from 06‐07 to 07‐08 from 65.4 to 61.3 and 63.2 to 52.7 respectively. 2. 3. To ensure collaboration across the curriculum, AHS will provide planning times based on planning periods as well as departmental planning. With guidance from IMPACT, the media coordinator and technology facilitator will meet with all planning teams to encourage implementation of media and technology skills into daily curriculum. With the infusion of 4 new laptop carts and a wireless building, much more technology can be accessed and implemented into all classes. 13 Asheboro High School Continuous Improvement Plan 2008-2009 D.

Salisbury Street, Room 628 Raleigh, NC 27603-5925 Dear Representative Brubaker, Representative Hurley, and Senator Tillman: You may have recently read that Judge Manning of Wake County Superior Court ruled that various state agencies owe $747 million to local school systems across North Carolina. The judge’s ruling was a follow-up to a 2005 unanimous decision of the North Carolina Supreme Court that those agencies had wrongly kept administrative fines that belonged to the public schools under the State Constitution. The Court ordered that the funds be distributed based on each public school system’s percentage of the overall student enrollment in North Carolina. In addition the ruling requires that the funds be used to improve technology in our schools. Our county, like most others, in North Carolina is woefully behind in providing our students the technologically based education that will be critical to helping them compete in the 21st Century. The funds designated by Judge Manning would help us close that gap. Our board and the NC State School Boards Association look forward to working with the General Assembly to devise a fair way for those funds to be repaid An equal opportunity/affirmative action employer within a reasonable timetable so they can be put to work for our school children in every classroom. To begin that process, would you please inform our board of your reaction to the court decisions and make suggestions for how the General Assembly can move forward to discharge its constitutional duties described by both courts? Please find enclosed a statement made on behalf our NC Schools Boards Association about the ruling. It includes some background on the issue. We would look forward to the opportunity to talk with you further about this issue. Sincerely, Asheboro City Board of Education Asheboro, North Carolina Gidget Kidd, Chair Archie Priest, Vice Chair Phillip Cheek Linda Cranford Joyce Harrington Kelly Harris Steve Jones Kyle Lamb Jane Redding Derek Robbins Chris Yow 2 Courts Say State Owes NC Schools, Students $747 Million It’s Time to Start Paying Up Background Recently North Carolina Superior Court Judge Howard Manning ruled that various state agencies owe North Carolina’s public schools $747 million. Over an eight-year period the money collected from state fines was by law supposed to be given to the schools to pay for new technology in classrooms. Instead, the money was diverted to other uses. In 2005 the North Carolina Supreme Court unanimously ruled that under the State Constitution those funds should have been deposited in a North Carolina Civil Penalty and Forfeiture Fund for the exclusive use of the schools. Also, Judge Manning confirmed that those funds must be used for computer technology in North Carolina’s school classrooms. Now, it is up to the General Assembly to determine a way to repay those debts over a several year period. Legislators need to be encouraged to establish a repayment schedule starting in 2009. How you can help Here are some important points you may want to use in conversations with your friends, in speeches, letters to the editor, and contacts with legislators. • The state courts have unanimously ruled that North Carolina state agencies owe the schools $747 million that was diverted over eight years from a school fund especially set up to pay for installing technology in North Carolina classrooms. • The courts have said it is a violation of the state constitution and ordered the General Assembly to pay back the funds. • Asheboro City Schools’ share of the $747 million would be approximately $2,252,619, or $493.35 per student. • Some of the ways these funds could be used in Asheboro City Schools are to complete our goal to equip every classroom with interactive technology (Smart Board, laptop, document camera), upgrading computer labs, providing laptops for teachers and students, and providing the necessary technical support and training to effectively use these technologies to enhance student learning. 3 • Some in the General Assembly say the state can’t afford to repay the schools $747 million in 2009. But the schools have said they are agreeable to the funds being repaid over several years. • Improved technology in the schools is critical to North Carolina’s children being prepared for higher education, training and competing in the 21st century. • Technology gives teachers ways to open up whole new worlds to students. Students can learn more, faster. • Technology gives teachers more time for one on one instruction. • One option for a funding source could be the state’s rainy day fund. The schools could be repaid annually with a relatively small percentage of the $787 million reserve. • Legislators, like the rest of us, need to comply with the law. No one disputes that the funds were diverted away from classrooms. Now the courts have unanimously said the schools should be repaid. • Some legislators have proposed repaying the funds out of the existing state education budget. That’s not a repayment. • The Legislature needs to live up to its Constitutional obligation to the school children of this state. It was the Legislature that passed the law directing that the fines be put into the technology fund. • The 2009 Legislature needs to devise a fair and reasonable solution schedule for repayment of the funds with new revenues, not existing education appropriations. 4 Courts Say State Owes NC Schools, Students $747 Million It’s Time to Start Paying Up Background Recently North Carolina Superior Court Judge Howard Manning ruled that various state agencies owe North Carolina’s public schools $747 million.

The plan will serve as a guide as we strive to create a 21st century education system that prepares students to excel in global skills while being taught by 21st Century professionals in a technology-rich environment. Vision Asheboro City Schools will be a system of excellence where students are honored, learning is valued, and our community is dedicated to the success of all. For this vision to be realized in the 21st Century requires life and career skills, learning and innovation skills, core subject knowledge, and information, media, and technology skills as defined by the Partnership for 21st Century Skills. Asheboro City Schools will use appropriate technologies to create a learning environment that supports research-based best instructional practices. Goal Areas The Asheboro City Schools Educational Technology Plan 2009-2013 has five broad goal areas to align with the State Board of Education mission and goals to prepare Future-Ready Students. Their revised mission and goals are: The guiding mission of the North Carolina State Board of Education is that every public school student will graduate from high school, globally competitive for work and post secondary education and prepared for life in the 21st Century. • Goal: NC public schools will produce globally competitive students. • Goal: NC public schools will be led by 21st Century professionals. • Goal: NC public school students will be healthy and responsible. • Goal: Leadership will guide innovation in NC public schools. • Goal: NC public schools will be governed and supported by 21st Century systems. The strategies in the Asheboro City Schools Educational Technology Plan are in these five areas and identify specific actions for enactment. They support these goals and will lead to their implementation in a way that is aligned with our Strategic Plan, School Improvement Plans, and technology initiatives. The plan guides the allocation of resources and helps us leverage time and productivity for identified priorities. The budget reflects approximate costs associated with upgrading and maintaining current technologies as well as estimates for some new and emerging technologies. We will continue to pursue instructional best practices and to provide the related high-quality professional development. VISION Asheboro City Schools will be a system of excellence where students are honored, learning is valued, and our community is dedicated to the success of all. For this vision to be realized in the 21st Century requires life and career skills, learning and innovation skills, core subject knowledge, and information, media, and technology skills as defined by the Partnership for 21st Century Skills. Asheboro City Schools will use appropriate technologies to create a learning environment that supports research-based best instructional practices. NC public schools will produce globally competitive students. Current Situation Narrative In Asheboro City Schools (ACS) technology is being used to support and enhance student achievement in a variety of ways. Instructional content, delivery, assessment, and management are being shaped by access that has improved both in quality and quantity to interactive equipment and software and online resources. One goal in our strategic plan is to utilize technology to enhance learning. A major initiative in this area is to equip all classrooms with interactive technology (interactive whiteboard, document camera, and laptop). Currently ACS has 96 interactive classrooms, 65 of which were equipped in 2007-2008. The plan is to equip 75 classrooms in 2008-2009 with the funds from the IMPACT grant. We have 4.71 instructional computers with Internet access per student. Every office and classroom has Internet access. We are continually expanding our wireless access as we acquire more mobile laptop carts. Assistive/adaptive devices are provided as needed to meet students’ needs. Areas of greatest need have been devices and software for visually-impaired students, hearing-impaired students, and autistic students. We are beginning to use classroom response systems for feedback, engagement, and formative assessment. We have a 1:1 laptop initiative for the approximately 100 high school students who attend our science focus program at the zoo. The IMPACT grant will ensure implementation of the IMPACT model at Asheboro High School, North Asheboro Middle School and South Asheboro Middle School. Our goals are to have a technology facilitator at every school and to increase collaboration and access to resources. At the elementary schools, it continues to be a challenge to fully implement flexible access mainly due to time and personnel constraints. To have globally competitive students, ACS must provide quality access to technology for teaching, learning, and effective operations. ClassScape and Education Value-Added Assessment System (EVAAS) are being used to improve formative assessment for instruction so that teachers can readily assess the effectiveness of the instruction and make changes as necessary to help every student be successful. The use of digital resources such as streaming video, NC WiseOwl, and Learn NC to name a few, is facilitated through both formal and informal professional development. Our schools subscribe to Study Island, Education City, BrainPop, Scholastic Reading Inventory, Accelerated Reader and other subscription-based resources. Students at Asheboro High School have access to a distance learning lab and technology assistant so that they can participate in iSchool, North Carolina Virtual Public School, Learn and Earn, and NovaNet. The software program, Rosetta Stone, is used at one school as a tool for second-language learning for staff and parents. After school tuition-based Spanish lessons are offered for elementary students. Band and chorus students at Asheboro High school have opportunities to travel outside the state. Various teachers at AHS organize summer travel abroad for students. We employ teachers affiliated with Visiting International Faculty and they provide a variety of multicultural experiences for our students. Our students benefit from ongoing partnerships with Randolph Community College and the North Carolina Zoo. The Science Technology and Math Partnership (STAMP) Grant which ended formally in 2008 has resulted in an ongoing partnership with Asheboro City Schools Strategic Technology Plan 1 educators at Meredith College. Many businesses in our community provide support in a variety of ways. In Asheboro City Schools, technology permeates every area of operation. It is a focus in our strategic plan as well as necessary tool for information, communication, data analysis, and assessment for all goals and objectives in the plan.

public schools will be led by 21st Century professionals. Current Situation Narrative Currently the focus of technology professional development in Asheboro City Schools is collaboration so that technology is connected to content. Lead teachers in literacy, math, and English as a Second Language are planning and delivering professional development that includes the appropriate technology. This emphasis on creating job-embedded technology training led us to recently remove the requirement of separate technology credits. By embedding technology in all areas of professional development and with the expectation for all teachers to use interactive classroom equipment effectively, our teachers will be continually improving their technology skills. We feel that integration of the skills for teachers will be effective and pervasive. The bar is not being lowered; using technology effectively is essential for 21st Century teaching and learning. Online applications and network resources are used daily for instructional and managerial tasks. Training for the following applications is offered as needed: • NCWISE • eProcurement • online approval forms • email • accessing network resources • ClassScape Another focus is training teachers to use the interactive classroom equipment for effective instructional practice to meet the needs of our diverse student population. Our professional development plans include a variety of delivery methods-workshops, model lessons, one-on-one assistance, and online resources provided by system-level and school-level media and technology personnel. Demonstrations and workshops are provided for administrators in the use of tools such as EVAAS and Discovery Education Streaming so that they can monitor effective use of these and other resources. Technology classes have been provided on Web 2.0 applications such as blogs, wikis, and podcasting.

Asheboro City Schools Strategic Technology Plan 10 NC public school students will be healthy and responsible. Current Situation Narrative Our Safe Schools Plan uses technology to for student safety in the areas of prevention, information, communication, and incident management. The plan is posted on our system website. The administrative leadership team is currently participating in FEMA’s online Emergency Management Institute to ensure that standard and appropriate protocols are in place at the system and school levels to keep our students and employees safe. Each school has digital security cameras and every school bus is equipped with video cameras. These devices document what has happened on campuses and on the school buses and serve as a deterrent to bad behavior and unsafe actions. Additionally, bus drivers use direct connect to be able to communicate with the central office and the schools in the event of unsafe behavior. Databases are used to track discipline incidents. This data is used to help make strategic plans to prevent discipline infractions and reduce unsafe behaviors. Digital cameras have been placed at every school to document any gang activity/graffiti. They have video capability that can be used to document an emergency scene. All school sites have a weather radio with alerts specific to our county. An online resource, Connect-Ed, is used to notify staff, parents, and bus drivers of unsafe weather conditions. Connect-Ed is also used to help notify drivers in the event of missing students. Weather radios are in place at every school. Electronic scrolling announcements, system and school websites, teacher webpages, and staff email all serve to educate our staff, students and community and to communicate health and safety information. Network infrastructure is similar at all schools to ensure equitable access to resources. Flexible access to a variety of web-based resources such as Atomic Learning, ClassScape, email, system and school webpages, eSIS, is available to staff. Policies on acceptable Internet use, copyright, filtering, webpage creation and additional procedures address ethical and responsible digital citizenship. Current policies need updating to reflect emerging technology trends. Media and technology programs in our schools use resources such as i-Learn and i-Safe to teach students Internet safety. Internet safety programs have been held to assist parents in understanding how to make the Internet safe for their children. Computers, SMART Boards and document cameras are available for regular use by DARE officers and school resource officers. Electronic spreadsheets are utilized for Communities In Schools programs to monitor students, mentors and their progress. AVID and Gear Up programs use technology to promote scholarship for students. Our child nutrition program from Sodexho provides an interactive website with information for parents and links to a variety of sites that have information for healthy eating and getting exercise. Parents can email a nutrition expert if they have questions or concerns related to a proper diet. The cafeteria staff utilizes technology in meal planning, preparation and purchase of meals. Health and physical education teachers in our system use online resources, interactive and software programs with lessons that help students explore and understand the importance of a healthy lifestyle. Pedometers are used in some physical education activities. Various CTE classes educate students related to exercise, nutrition, and health care using a variety of technology resources. Asheboro City Schools Strategic Technology Plan 11 Health-related training tutorials are available to staff via our district website.

Current Situation Narrative The Asheboro City Schools administrative team continually functions as a learning community and is involved in activities to promote continuous improvement. We note areas of strength to build on and target areas of concern and develop strategies for improvement. We use a wide variety of data as we make these decisions. We have participated in extensive training with MCREL to develop balanced leadership and understand how to facilitate change. Our strategic plan indicates that our community and school leaders understand that technology is integral to all that we do. Some of the collaborative efforts that we participate in are: • IMPACT model schools in grades 6-12 • UNITE Uganda project • Latino Initiative Center for International Understanding • National School Board Association • North Carolina School Board Association • University of North Carolina Greensboro TESOL grant Our collaborative efforts and intentional use of the Media and Technology Advisory Committees will increase as fully implement the IMPACT model in grades 612. The district level technology committee meets formally on a periodic basis. Professional growth is facilitated through opportunities offered in-house and through support for attending conferences, taking university classes, utilizing online resources and other avenues. Subscriptions to PD 3600 and Atomic Learning are available for online professional development. We offer stipends to teachers pursuing National Board Certification, mentors and lead teachers. There is a culture of high expectations that we will continue to grow and improve professionally. As stated previously, technology is present in all that we do be it in the form of hardware, software, network resources, online resources, or communication. Staff members are surveyed to provide input into planning professional development that will meet their needs. Various committees such as the school leadership teams, Superintendent’s Advisory Council, and job-alike meetings enable employees to discuss, plan and share topics related to professional growth needs. Annually the superintendent and the assistant superintendent for curriculum and instruction meet with members of the school leadership teams to promote collaboration, communication and plan for continuous improvement. Teachers and students are encouraged to take advantage of opportunities such as Governor’s School, the North Carolina Center for the Advancement of Teaching, ROTC trips, honors band and chorus, Special Olympics, and yearbook training at Columbia University. Students can participate in numerous clubs and service organizations which provide opportunities to develop leadership skills and travel to other states. Asheboro City Schools Strategic Technology Plan 16 Asheboro City Schools benefits from a number of community partnerships such as the AHS Zoo School with the North Carolina Zoo, Meredith College’s Science Technology and Math Partnership Project (STAMP), faith-based tutoring programs, Student Leadership Information for Tomorrow (Student LIFT), Teacher Intern program, Get a Life from the Chamber of Commerce, Gear Up, Advancement Via Individual Determination (AVID), and Parents Academically Gifted Education (PAGE). Many businesses in our community partner with us to provide resources and learning experiences for our students.

Current Situation Narrative In Asheboro City Schools, we understand that technology is an essential factor that enables employees to access, analyze, and use data to increase student achievement, productivity and efficiency. To support those endeavors in each school and department, Asheboro City Schools employs a computer systems analyst, instructional technology lead teacher, and two technicians. We have employed four elementary instructional technology facilitators for several years. In the coming school year, each of our eight schools will have a full-time instructional technology facilitator. The media coordinators are active and well-informed as technology leaders in their schools. Administrators in Asheboro City Schools use technology effectively in almost every facet of operation and support its role in instruction and management. NCWise is utilized to the fullest extent possible. Supporting technology is a big and ongoing challenge as the Total Cost of Ownership analysis will attest. Asheboro City Schools uses federal, state, and local budgets to fund technology. All program areas and each school contributes to the purchasing of equipment and instructional resources. Planning for technology budget needs and requests is completed yearly by the central office technology staff in cooperation with the assistant superintendent and financial director. The superintendent and board make technology a priority in yearly goals and strategies. Our major initiative currently is to equip each classroom with an interactive whiteboard, document camera, and laptop. There is an application and selection process in place for the placement of this equipment. As a system, we continually seek out grant opportunities and in February 2008, we received a 1.2 million dollar IMPACT Grant which will greatly assist the interactive classroom program as well as other technology endeavors. The Asheboro City Schools Strategic Technology Plan is monitored by the system-level technology staff. Data is collected by various departments and at the schools as designated in the plan. Formal monitoring of the plan is completed by the DPI technology consultant. Our WAN is 20 megabit fiber. Each site has a LAN that is 10/100 megabit Ethernet. We have replaced our routers with layer 3 switches. Currently we have some wireless access in our schools which will be expanded. Technology is used for surveillance cameras at each school. Every school bus is equipped with video cameras. Connect-ED is used regularly to inform parents and can be used quickly to notify parents of emergency incidents. Server space is provided to store and share data and to manage operational processes. We are exploring administrative use of Web 2.0 applications. We purchase national brand computers which are Vista capable and carry extended warranties. All servers are Dell PowerEdge servers and have been updated in last three years (with same day warranty service). Secure Designs, a third party technology security company, provides web and email filtering and firewall management. The email server has been upgraded to Exchange 2007. Employees have constant access to web email. Asheboro City Schools Strategic Technology Plan 20 NC public schools will be governed and supported by 21st Century systems.

This the ________ day of __________________ 2008. ________________________________ Superintendent ________________________________ Board Chair ______________________City Schools Policy 1760/7280: Prohibition Against Retaliation As recommended to the Board Policy Committee, August 14, 2008 This is a new policy that is meant to prevent any form of reprisal, retaliation, or discrimination against an employee that reports or intends to report a violation of federal, state, or local law as outlined in paragraph one. The legal reference of the policy is the Sarbanes-Oxley Act that originally dealt with financial matters. I have already researched its content and found that in this context, the Act is in agreement with General Statute 128-85 or the “whistle-blower statute.” PROHIBITION AGAINST RETALIATION Policy Code: 1760/7280 The board of education prohibits and will not tolerate any form of reprisal, retaliation or discrimination against any employee who, in good faith, has made or intends to make a report that there has been a violation of federal, state or local law, regulation or public policy due to a practice, policy, act or omission of the board of education, of a school district employee or of an entity/person with whom the school district has a business relationship. An employee who reasonably believes that any such violation exists shall file a written complaint with the superintendent. Once a complaint is filed, the superintendent or his/her designee will conduct a prompt and thorough investigation of the complaint. Any complaint alleging inappropriate conduct by the superintendent should be filed with the board chair for investigation. The board chair will report any such complaint to the board, and the board will authorize a prompt and thorough investigation. The provisions of this policy apply only to those situations in which an employee brings the alleged unlawful activity, policy or practice to the attention of the board or superintendent and provides the board or superintendent with a reasonable opportunity to investigate and correct the alleged unlawful activity. If necessary, the superintendent or board may specify reasonable steps to protect the complaining employee from retaliation. The superintendent will ensure that each employee receives a copy of this policy and signs a statement verifying his/her receipt and understanding of this policy. Legal Reference: Sarbanes-Oxley Act, 18 United States Code § 1513(e); G.S. 128-85 Adopted: BOARD OF EDUCATION POLICY MANUAL Page 1 of 1 Policy 7265: Occupational Exposure to Hazardous Chemicals in Science Laboratories As recommended to the Board Policy Committee, August 14, 2008 This is a new policy that provides universal precautions to be used at all times in accordance with the OSHA standard 1910.1450, “Occupational Exposure to Hazardous Chemicals in Laboratories.” School system requirements are outlined that include the development and implementation of a chemical hygiene plan, list of chemicals to be discarded, labeling procedure of hazardous chemicals, training for employees and reporting procedure of unsafe conditions, and access to the chemical hygiene plan along with required training and annual updates. OCCUPATIONAL EXPOSURE TO HAZARDOUS CHEMICALS IN SCIENCE LABORATORIES Policy Code: 7265 It is the policy of the board to comply with federal regulations and state statutes regarding hazardous chemicals as set forth in the Federal Register, 29 CFR §1910.1450 and the North Carolina Administrative Code, 13 NCAC 7F.0101, by attempting to limit occupational exposure of employees to hazardous chemicals or other potentially hazardous materials that could cause injury or death. A. UNIVERSAL PRECAUTIONS Universal precautions shall be used at all times. Because few laboratory chemicals are without hazards, the school system shall establish general precautions for handling all laboratory chemicals.
