Background:
|
In order to increase effective and efficient operations and prepare for the FY18 budget, the Administration is bringing forward a series of items focused on proposed changes related to regional development.
The Administration has historically examined the needs of our families, along with district data to provide programming that best supports each school community. Data that are routinely examined include, but are not limited to, school enrollment, requests for programs versus seats available/program need, school budgets, feeder patterns, and school performance.
In an effort to continue to better serve our students and families, the Administration has conducted an assessment of programs to expand access to programs through additional seats; to expand access to programs and to strengthen feeder patterns through grade realignment; to create schools within schools; and to merge or close programs to better support students and to achieve greater operational efficiency.
Outcomes of the assessment include a recommendation for the creation of a small high school inside of Vincent High School to serve current Vincent students. The site is intended to serve students who are at risk of not graduating based upon credit attainment or attendance. The site would utilize the competency-based curriculum to support students in accruing credits.
Vincent High School has a Fails to Meet Expectations rating on the State Report Card. The official fall enrollment count for Vincent High School was 992 students.
The creation of a small high school within Vincent High School was discussed at meetings with the school leadership, staff, and families.
