Creek Middle School Case Study

New Harbor North High School has encountered several complications within the operation of their public school. The school is simultaneously gaining students requiring special needs, while experiencing a decrease in diverse teachers that are capable of addressing these needs. New Harbor North is losing experienced teachers due to funding shortages over that have increased over the past four years. The school is greatly impacted by the economic changes that are currently causing budget cuts and poverty within the community. Although the school is encountering difficulty amongst the school’s operation, the students are managing to excel at high rates compared to the school’s district.

A $ 2.8 million addition to the existing Settles Bridge Elementary School consists of two wings, 34,000 square feet building. This structural steel frame with pre-engineered metal roof project also has brick facing and concrete masonry unit exterior walls. The job includes the installation of new sprinkler system for the existing facility. The challenge of the project was to tie the existing storm and sewer lines and proceed with construction while the school was in session.

only two miles east. Even when rumors about budget cuts had been circulating across the school district, when the associate superintendent, Ms. Smith, informed Mr. Jones of the school board’s plan to discuss his school closure, she ordered him not to reveal the information to anyone. However, he was under the impression that, the faculty, deserved an immediate explanation of the situation. Furthermore, he believed that notifying them was, not only imperative, but ethical. Also, Mr. Jones was puzzled by the circumstances surrounding the school closure and the decision to informed him only twenty-four hours before the school board’s meeting. Despite the instructions given to him, Mr. Jones meet with the faculty and explained the difficult situation.

In addition, the past several years have seen recent changes to administration at both schools. Three years ago the long-time middle school principal retired and a new principal was hired from outside the district. This principal was surprised at the lack of collaboration between the schools and would like there to be more. Last spring, the long-time principal of the high school passed away after a battle with cancer that brought the entire community together. The high school’s assistant principal, who was acting principal during the principal’s medical leave, was hired as the principal. He, too, seems ready to build better collaboration between the schools. Now seems to be a great time to begin the collaboration that is needed between the two schools.

Mr. Dwyer wasn’t very kind to the students. He was old and grumpy. Students can usually go up to Mr. Simmons in the hall, and have a good conversation about their day. Mr. Simmons is more appealing to the younger crowd, versus my grumpy grade school principal. This creates a better environment for the faculty and students.

Because of the principal’s silence, Mr. Jones did not demonstrate a balance on his task of managing the day to day to ensure the efficiency of the operations of the school. Also, he did not achieve the task of enabling or removing obstacles that the learning community encounters to continue the learning process. Even yet, when he decided to inform his faculty he should have act as the leader that he was supposed to be. He was not a successful leader, but just a manager when he did not motivate or create synergy between them. As a team, brainstorm ideas on how to challenge the school consolidation, could have been achieved.

The beginning of the Hollister High School 2014-2015 school year began like many of the previous school years, with new administrators being introduced to the instructional staff. The new principal made a covenant with the staff. He promised to be a leader who will stay in the building and finish whatever he started. The new instructional leader was promoted from assistant principal to the principal’s chair. In an effort to gain credibility with the staff in terms of following through with his promise to stick around until he is able to realize his vision, he built a house in the area.

Have you ever wanted to change something in your school? Yes, we think that for the health, welfare, and safety changes need to be made at Floyd County High School.

Along with student tension there was also faculty tension. As tenth graders many students walked into classrooms where the teacher blatantly claimed they would not be going to West because Bentonville High School would always reign supreme in athletics, arts, and academics.

New Jersey Public Schools today are so focused on preparing students for college that they are failing to prepare students for life.
