Restructuring of Keene Elementary Schools

Where Are We Now?
In the spring, the Keene Board of Education
requested that the design team develop detailed engineering drawings of the proposed additions and renovations
Engelberth Construction, the selected estimator /

Projected Savings
14 January 2014
The savings from this project pay for the bond in full and still create additional savings.

Details on the Savings

Savings will be even Greater with Heating Upgrades
JD Operating Budget
So right now we should have between at least $200K to $300K starting in 2015-16 and those savings will continue to inflate by not carrying the Salaries & Operating Budget.
$100 K
$980K $1.2 M in Salaries Moving from 280.65 FTEs at Elementary Schools to 261.22 FTEs.

Why?
Quality of Life Fire Safety Finances
We have old buildings where too many students are too hot throughout the year and do not get fresh air. We spend a lot of money as a district but dont cover these basics. Our students deserve better and why would we continue to treat our youngest, most vulnerable students in this manner?
14 January 2014
Bond, Budget, &
Why?
Our buildings are safe, but we have not kept up with Fire Codes for our older buildings. If we want to do any renovations we need to put in sprinkler systems in the buildings. We spend a lot of money as a district but dont cover basic fire codes our students deserve better. Why would we not solve this problem that affects our youngest and most vulnerable students?
14 January 2014
Bond, Budget, &
Why?
We only have enough students for four Elementary School Buildings but we fully staff and fully run five. This is not a sustainable model and how we compare around the State of NH shows in terms of our finances.

A Slow Redistricting Process 2014 to 2020

The only group that begins the redistricting process in 2015-16 would be incoming, new Kindergarteners & their Families. We would use the Flexible Zones highlighted on the Map.
1)
Current J. Daniels K to 3rd Grade (by 2015-16 would be 2nd to 5th) join Franklin School Community. (About 85 Families) Current Surry students (K to 3 about 40) join the Wheelock School Community. New Kindergarteners in JDs old attendance area go to Fuller or Symonds. Keeping families together in the same school would trump this policy.

None of These Issues Go Away

This project basically deals with three major issues for our Elementary Schools all at once.
Quality of Life
Fire Safety
Finances
If we dont solve them with this project these issues are not going away. We will have to address these issues in the future until they are solved. If the Bond is not passed we need to find the money in the Operating Budget Which means taking away staff, programs, and opportunities for all students K to 12, without realizing the savings in this project.

Looking in the Mirror

Whats different about this years budget process is that I asked all Principals and Cost Center Managers to think about the following three questions because they guided my decision making process on where changes needed to be made and I asked them do to the same for their own cost center:
1) Does your cost center focus its resources on students effectively? 2) Is your cost center financially sustainable? 3) Is your cost center effective at educating our students?
Bond, Budget, &
Keene Elementary Schools

Budgets were developed. We then had to adjust to pay for our out of district placements. This accounts for the range of changes that happens across the Elementary Schools.

Tutor Decision
We have an unconscionable Achievement Gap in our district when it comes to our IEP students in both Reading and Math. We cannot continue with our current system of Shared Tutor Support as is. It is not addressing or helping our students. We cannot expect our most vulnerable students to be best served by the least qualified adults in our schools.

Tutor Decision Part 2

Besides the fact that is not an effective model we also uncovered that we do not currently align our Tutor numbers to actual need based on IEPs. The reductions represent that alignment so that every child who has a Shared Tutor in their IEP still has that Tutor in place for 2014-15.
Schools also have a buffer of one to two extra Tutors, based on hours, in their buildin year to make sure they are able to handle new arrivals and other factors we cannot plan for. Where we are heading with our Model Inclusion
1) We are investing in Professional Development for Special and General Education teachers to make small steps towards a Co-Teaching Model next year and this w continue until our schools are ready.
2) We are investing in Professional Development around Classroom Management and tasking a small group at each school to build a robust Multi-Tiered Culture Model to promote the culture and behaviors wanted, and respond to the ones we dont.
Tutor Decision Part 3
We could continue to spend money in perpetuity on a model that doesnt work or we could invest in the hard work that serves our students best. All students in Keene with an IEP deserve the right to have the following structures and systems in place for their Support and Benefit:
1) A challenging and meaningful curriculum. 2) Differentiated daily lessons that target their specific needs and interests, and engage them in the instruction. 3) Modifications and accommodations in place that are outlined in their IEP and beyond those outlined. 4) A Multi-Tiered approach to culture and behavior in every classroom and school that reinforces the behavior we expect in classrooms, and responds appropriately to beha we dont want. 5) A robust Response to Instruction (RtI) model that is embedded in all the systems of th School so that no student falls through the cracks in terms of academics or behavior. Students certainly can chose to not be engaged and/or to fail, but we cannot allow thi behavior on their part. 6) An inclusive classroom that partners General Education Teachers with Special Educa Teachers to ensure the five strategies above are in place for every student.

Keene Middle School is investing in a Gifted & Talented Coordinator. With the need for Differentiation, a Rigorous Curriculum, and the new Growth Model for the Evaluation System this is a smart and prudent investment for KMS. KMS has transformed itself into a financially sustainable school restructured their costs over many years and continues to be the leader in the District when it comes to our Strategic Plan.
