The Importance Of Boundary Differences In West Fargo Public School

Medomak Valley High School, located in Waldoboro, ME, is the only high school in Maine School Administrative District #40 and serves students from Friendship, Waldoboro, Warren, Washington, and Union in midcoast Maine. For decades, the school district had two middle schools - A.D. Gray Middle School, which served students from Friendship and Waldoboro, and D.R. Gaul Middle School, which served students from Warren, Washington, and Union. In the fall of 2008, the year I started at Medomak Valley High School, the district opened Medomak Middle School to serve all seventh and eighth grade students in the district and closed A.D. Gray Middle School and D.R. Gaul Middle School. The new middle school was built at the Medomak Valley High

Webster Elementary, one of the many elementary schools in the district, is a school that is devoted to cultivating and

School zones have been an issue in Bryan and College Station for a while now and are always changing. The school zones we have had cause unequal distribution of race and economic status throughout the schools, leading to unequal funding and disciplinary problems throughout the students. The Bryan Independent School District and the College Station Independent School District really need to sit down, talk about and act on the only solution to this problem, which is creating school zones that benefit everyone equally, economically and racially, to help improve the issues inside our schools.

Upon a $28 million renovation project, the State Street Elementary building is currently one of the most state of the art school buildings within Northeastern PA. Ironically, this two-story building stands in the shape of a “W” and houses nearly 1,200 students and houses kindergarten through fifth-grade and is labeled as a large suburban Title I School. Intricately, it provides full-day usage-space to the Luzerne County Head Start Program that offers services to the future students of State Street Elementary, which is a county wide support system for low income children. Although the building has only been around a few short years, it consists of historically underperforming and economically disadvantaged

The issue that causes the most tension at Westside Consolidated School District No. 5 is the school shooting. Many families moved out of the school district as a result and the district has not recovered fully from the departure of those business leaders and students. The projected growth is another community issue that is causing tension. The state of the district buildings and amenities is not on the level of our former rival Valley View nor our current rival Brookland and the district has few options to build new buildings, retain teachers, and offer new class curriculums for the student

As mentioned in previous writings, East Bridgewater has gone through a reorganizational period throughout the last 4 years. Although positive aspects have emerged including an increase in technology to meet the needs of the 21st century student, a new state of the art building, and an increase in funding for the school district to sustain the new building, there has also been negative facets as well. After the reorganization of the district in the 2012 - 2013 academic year, East Bridgewater Jr/Sr High school went from a Level 1 9-12 school to a Level 2 7 - 12 school. Student enrollment, which has increased due to the new building and school choice, currently serves approximately 1016 students

I use to go to Bethesda Elementary before I moved here. The reason I moved was because I would go to Thomas. H. Pyle Middle School while the kids at BE would go to Westland Middle School. If I continued going to BE in sixth grade when I moved to Pyle I would not know anyone. The reason I moved to Bradley Hills, and not any other school that was going to Pyle was because Bradley Hills had a renovation that allowed more kids to come.

In September of 2013, the new East Bridgewater Junior Senior High School opened it’s doors for the very first time welcoming students from grades 7 - 12. After reorganization of the three schools in the district, it was decided that the seventh and eighth grade would move from the middle school into the new building. Although the building was beautiful and filled with the latest technology, a wave of negative thoughts and expectations about how the school and the school district functions engulfed the staff. A divide slowly but surely formed between the middle school teachers and the the high school teachers, new policies, programs, and technical changes were implemented with few explanations or input, and administration became as distant

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.

I currently teach 7th grade at Park Middle School in Scotch Plains, New Jersey. As I reviewed the multitude of data, a few specific statistics emerged. The population of our sending districts in 2010, Scotch Plains and Fanwood, totaled 30,828. The United States Census Bureau predicts our total sending population to rise to 31,433 within the next 5-7 years (U.S. Census Bureau, 2015). Even though that increase is slight, our school district has implemented a full-day kindergarten program this year. This data and new program generated the following questions:

For the purpose of observing a school environment, I was granted the opportunity to visit Marcy Open School, a K-8 Minneapolis Public School located in 415 University Ave SE, Minneapolis, MN. Like all magnet schools, Marcy Open School strives to achieve racial balance and incorporates specialized curricular themes to reach out to its scholars. In addition, the school website states the mission of the school is to,” Educate for life-long learning in a respectful environment that emphasizes responsibility, creativity, curiosity, and connectedness to the world”. To enhance students’ learning outcomes, Marcy Open School incorporates the following nine unique programs: Marcy Arts Partnership, a program that funds for arts-integrated programs and residencies for all children, regardless of race, religion, developmental level or socioeconomic status. Parents established the program in 1995 in an effort to connect students with the wider community and strengthen students’ education. Also, the school provides Path to Reading Excellence in School Sites (PRESS) a partnership between, target, the University of Minnesota, Reading Corps, and select Minneapolis schools (Marcy included), that focuses on teachers and students in grades K-3 and provides them Quality Core Instruction, Data-Based Decision Making, Tiered Interventions, and Professional Development. This program was designed because ample research proves that children’s’ ability to read by third grade determines their future

The next school year Saginaw Public Schools transition into this new plan but they ran into many problems. The first problem which is listed above in table one involved the

Every school district has board meetings throughout the school year. Unfortunately, many parents, community members, & school personnel do not attend such important meetings because they don’t realize or understand the importance of such board meetings or how informative they can be. According to Kankakee School District (2017), the Kankakee School District Board of Education is composed of seven elected members, who were elected by the citizens of Kankakee to serve a four-year term that do not receive no salary for they services, are committed to ensuring a quality of educational excellence that will enhance the opportunities and challenges facing today’s student and additional responsibilities that board members include are selection of the District superintendent, developing general polices according to wishes of the community and requirements of law, hiring school personnel based upon recommendation of the Superintendent and the Assistant Superintendent of Personnel, adopts salary schedules, approves funds to finance school operations, must adopt and review the annual operating budget for the District, and setting the property tax levy to produce adequate funds to meet the District’s financial needs ranks among the responsibilities of the Board of Education (Retrieved from https://www.ksd111.org/domain/68). For this paper, the Kankakee School District board meeting will be used, information learned from board meeting, use of
