30901 School Charter Draft
Augusta, Georgia
Dear Mr. Brown,
As a school leader, I am excited to be apart of the development of the school design plan that will put your dreams to paper. After doing more research on the requirements outlined by The State Charter Schools Commission of Georgia, I believe this proposal will provide a guide to accomplish the development of a strong school plan that can be used to complete the petition process with the SCSC as soon as the 2018 petition cycle. This is in direct alignment with the ambitious goal of opening the school for the 2020 school year.
This plan was crafted using the, Starting Strong Practices In Starting A Charter School, SCSC of Georgia report, (Cannata, Thomas, …show more content…

The first stage will be done through online research of all the available data aligned to culture, performance, student population, student needs, academic programing, budgeting, community, identified challenges, facilities, district goals, STEAM/STEM programming and relevant needs. That data will be use to inform our understanding of current educational programming, and the initial school plan will be developed identifying the unique programming that will be specific to the 30901 Charter. It will also outline why we expect our charter to improve whole child outcomes for those students who …show more content…

Case Study Of The Consolidation Of Meredith V. Jefferson County Board Of Education

1548 Words | 7 Pages

The court case Meredith v. Jefferson County Board of Education identified that schools in Louisville, Kentucky were using voluntary integration plans in their public schools (Smith, 2008, p. 303). The main complaint was filed by a white mother who wanted her child to be transferred to a kindergarten in a school closer to home. Her complaint to the schools was denied because of the need to keep the color ratio matched to the racial guidelines (Greenhouse, 2007). Many other complaints similar to this one existed as well since many parents were concerned about the distance their children had to ride to school and how long it was taking. The Parents Involved in Community Schools v. Seattle School District No. 1 case was brought to court by a nonprofit created by parents in order to fight the school assignment plans used in the schools of Seattle.

Statement Of Purpose: Sartell-St. Stephen Board Of Education

664 Words | 3 Pages

Over my short, seventeen-year lifetime, I have had passions in many areas, from geography to soccer to leadership. However, as I have grown older, I have had a growing passion for the schools in my area because they taught me everything that I know and have given me all the opportunities that I have taken advantage of. Because of this growing passion, I became involved in two very important organizations that influence the future of the Sartell – St. Stephen School District: the Community Schools Planning Initiative and the Sartell – St. Stephen Board Of Education. The Community Schools Planning Initiative was launched at the start of 2015 in order to come up with a vision for the future of the Sartell – St. Stephen School District and a plan to match that

Questar III Board Of Education: Case Study

In September, the Questar III Board of Education adopted a policy to begin a program assessment and evaluation process for the BOCES. It is important to consistently and continually review our programs and services to ensure we are providing the best possible service to our students and districts, but also to ensure that we offer those services and products at the lowest cost. Our staff is fulfilling needs that we, nor our districts, could have anticipated years ago. After all, changing conditions have created changing needs. Because of this, we cannot assume that current delivery models are sustainable or even appropriate.

Firestone High School Mission Statement

673 Words | 3 Pages

As I reflect on the process employed for completion of this action research project I think about the process that principals and other educational leaders use to promote school improvement. As a future educational leader I must promote the success of every student by facilitating the development, articulation, implementation, and stewardship of a vision of learning that is shared and supported by all stakeholders (The Council of Chief State School Officers [CCSSO], 2008). When I first started the principalship program I was amazed to find out that Firestone High School did not have a vision statement in place and when I asked several of the current administrators about our vision, often I was told our mission statement. As I continue on with my internship program next year, it will be my goal to ensure that by the time we are in our new building in 2016 the school will have a vision statement to guide our focus.
