Graduation Speech : Tri County School Corporation

I am an active member of my school and community. At school I feel that i've gained the respect of my peers being elected as Student Council representative for the past four years. I have also been elected the treasurer of the choir, and secretary of the band. I am part of the Ross Middle School bucket drumming group and have been casted as part of the school theatre’s annual play. After school on Wednesdays I assist Ms. Rullman in helping students with homework and enhancing study methods. I am currently participating in science olympiad and have in the past. I am also an anchor on the popular Good Morning Ross Middle School weekly news show. In addition, I have been a part of National Junior Honor Society which takes part in service projects

Prior to coming to Hoke County, Dr. Williamson had already served in a plethora of diverse roles in his educational career (e.g., teacher, assistant principal, vocational-educational director, principal, director of secondary and middle school education, director of personnel, associate superintendent, and a boys and girls basketball coach), therefore becoming a superintendent was inevitable; the school board knew he could advance the Hoke County’s School System, however the “key” was: he was a willing vessel.

Communication within the Westside School District No. 5 between the school district and the communities and families that it serves is a very dynamic process. I talked with district administrators, community members, researched pertinent information in the Arkansas State University library, and various governmental online sources and found very helpful information to include in this sociological inventory. Westside Consolidated School District No. 5 is a consolidation of primarily three school districts Bono, Cash and Egypt located in Craighead County, Arkansas in 1966 (Westside, 2017). The district also includes parts of Walnut Ridge and Alicia in Lawrence County and parts of Jonesboro in Craighead County. The district has three school buildings housing students from pre-Kindergarten through twelfth grade. The elementary school is the school for

When dealing with larger school districts, there are several different positions in which play vital roles in the success of the school ‘s in the county. Deputy superintendent, chief financial officers, executive directors, and chief technology officer, are the crucial four. From there smaller roles are delegated to address issues based on needs and situations that may happen with schools, students teachers and

I teach in the Westside Consolidated Number Five School District in Jonesboro, Arkansas. The school district is a consolidation of three small rural town school districts Bono, Egypt, and Cash, Arkansas in 1968. I met with my mentor Mr. Scott Gaunt the school district superintendent on January 18, 2017 between meetings with district leaders and countywide superintendents. We met and discussed the community relations plan and identified the two most important issues for our district as identified in the poll by the Phi Delta Kappan and the Gallop poll. The issues were the lack of financial support for the school district to provide an adequate education for students and the testing and regulations imposed on school districts that lower educational time for students while in school.

You are the PTO President for Lone Star Elementary for this year, and member of PTO for Montgomery Middle School. Your work for the community is amazing!! This is another great way to get to meet ladies from the neighborhood.

It seems the biggest problem in the CPS district, more specifically Paul Robeson High School, is funding issues. With the district and the school already in debt, classroom funding, not to mention funding for important after school activities and fine arts classes, is very limited. Not only does this make it hard for teachers to have the appropriate resources for helping children learn, but it also makes things like Teaching Union Strikes very likely. Children are constantly being put on the backburner when money is on the line, which defeats the entire purpose of the public schooling

The continuous budget updates and budget cuts that the state of Texas continues doing it has created that the Eagle Mountain Saginaw ISD (2014) has declare state of exigency in order to continue managing the district. Throughout the district many cuts had being made by the district affecting from personnel, resources, and teacher allotments to mention some. In L.A. Gililland Elementary School (2014) the administrator has to manage her allotment budget to serve the high volume of low socioeconomic students and a high demographics of Bilingual students and get created and look for other resources that will assist teachers with the current teacher allotment and to supply resources for the school.

Senior year rapidly is coming to an end, I’ve had the opportunity to see many of my friends come to the exciting moment in their life when they sign that dotted line and I was still waiting on my chance. My entire life I had dreamt of the day to finally committed to a college basketball team, this was my goal and it had to be my purpose in life. January 18, 2015 at 4:41 PM I got an exciting text from Truett-Mcconnell’s head coach, Matt Sanders, stating,” Good afternoon Claudia this is Coach Sanders from Truett-Mcconnell College, and I really feel like we need to begin the recruiting process with you! Sorry to bother you on a Sunday, but I just didn’t want to let time slip away! I look forward to hearing back from you!” Here was my chance!

Hello Ms. Bahorich, I am a current student at the University of Texas at Arlington and I want to start off by congratulating you for being the chairperson of the Texas board of education. Personally, I admire you for spending your time to make sure students that attend a public school district in Texas get the best education possible. I believe that your job is more than just leading meetings over the Texas education system, giving ideas on how to improve the education system, or make sure that school districts are regulated according to standards. Your job goes beyond that; the future of Texas students is in your hands. I also admire you for homeschooling your children; I don’t believe this is an act of hostility towards the Texas education system, but rather that you wanted to provide your children the best education possible. I want that type of education to be available to all Texas students. Texas education has greatly improved since the beginning of it, and although we recently have passed laws to reach racial equally, I still believe that there is an issue in the Texas education system. The issue present in the Texas Education System is the bad funding of public school districts. The way public school districts are funded in the state of Texas gives a disadvantage to students that attend a school district located in a low income neighborhood over those who attend a school districts located in a rich neighborhood.

Students of any grade and age are impacted by the lack of an Illinois budget. For K – 12 school programs, concerns about program cuts and transportation are very widespread throughout the state of Illinois. For institutions of higher education, enrollment, the reduction in the number of faculty and staff, and the decrease in the number of educational programs offered are of high concern.

Closing a school is not an easy decision. It is one that should not be made lightly or without much consideration. While the decision to close the Gilbert and Hillcrest locations would ultimately have beneficial long-term effects, the manner in which the Meritas family and Dr. Mernard went about the closure was imprudent. The process followed was not well navigated and lacked a sense of social responsibility. Stakeholders were led to believe in December of 2013 that the campuses would remain open. Merely weeks later, they received notification that the campuses would be closing at the end of the semester (Creno, 2014). An earnest effort was not made to keep stakeholders informed of the situation and was done in such a manner that jeopardized the established relationship. The timing of the notification was inconsiderate and lacked sensitivity. Moreover, the process had a profound effect on students, parents, and teachers who had been continuously assured that the campuses would not be closed. Students would be displaced. Relationships that they had developed with students and teachers stood a strong possibility of being lost. Parents who chose to invest in their child’s education by sending them to the private school were left powerless. They, along with faculty, “were left

Beginning with the consolidation of central office staffs of all of the schools in Iosco county (Oscoda, Tawas, Whittemore-Prescott, and Hale) we could save money in many various ways. For example, we could have one superintendent and two assistants rather than the four individuals we have now. Other ways we could save is by combining all four schools’ staff in human resources, payroll, special education, finance, transportation, and food service director. Already, Oscoda and Tawas share transportation and food service to save cost.

School districts are currently grappling with the key goal of cutting costs while maintaining the quality of their basic instructional curriculums. In the video by Education Week (2017), a discussion ensues on cost-cutting strategy approaches to help schools operate within the limited finances at their disposal. The video conversation proposes an all-inclusive approach of identifying unnecessary expenditures and reallocating funds to priority areas. The focus of the acknowledged method is to concentrate resources to areas pertinent to attaining transformational student performance. However,
