School Directors’ Report T he Essex Community Educational Center Union #46 School Board is pleased to present the 2010‐

2011 Annual Report for Essex High School (EHS) and the Center for Technology, Essex (CTE).  2010‐2011 Overview  Board Organization.  After many years of service, G Miller, a board representative from Essex Town and a former U#46 Board Chairman, resigned his seat in May 2010, due to his relocation outside of the district.  G provided outstanding leadership in his work on various board committees, and continued to provide guidance to new board members.   In January 2011, Tim Kemerer, representing the Village, accepted an opportunity to work overseas, and thus resigned as vice‐chair of the U#46 Board.  Tim’s enthusiasm for educational governance was contagious; his leadership initiatives in determining met‐rics for measuring progress were appreciated by both the Board and administration.  Although Tim and G continue to be missed, new board members Lezlee Sprenger (Essex Town) and Erin Kennedy‐Knox (Essex Junction Village) are welcome additions to the board.  Lezlee is now the vice‐chair, and Erin serves on the Communications and  New England Association of Schools and Colleges (NEASC) commit‐tees.    Student Achievement.  Consistent with the CCSU Vision of providing continuous improvement in the areas of achievement, both EHS and CTE provide standards of excellence for our community. EHS con‐tinues to deliver educational value to the Essex community. Our NECAP scores set a standard among Chittenden County high schools, and favorably compare to the highest scoring schools in all of Ver‐mont, New Hampshire, and Rhode Island. Recent data suggests over 80 percent of our students pursue post‐secondary educational opportunities. The EHS annual drop‐out rate remains at a very low level. EHS teachers and administration continually adjust curriculum and delivery, driving student perform‐ance improvement both in standardized testing and their ability to take the next steps in their educa‐tion.  Meanwhile, student demand for CTE curriculum persists in growing. CTE anticipates 418 students for the fall semester, compared to 300 students ten years ago. CTE students continue to earn industry certifications, where available, at a very high rate. They continue to successfully compete in the state and national ”Skills USA” competition, where they showcase their skills in several areas. On Senior Days, students provide free services to our senior citizens in many programs.   Challenges for Change (Act 146) and the Federal Education Jobs Fund.  The “Challenges for Change” law was authorized by Act 146 of the 2009‐2010 Vermont legislative session.  The Challenges law re‐quired the Department of Education to develop voluntary education spending reduction targets for each school district for fiscal year (FY) 2012. Statewide, the targets would total $23.2 million in educa‐tion spending reductions from voter‐approved FY 2011 budgets.  U#46 was given a target of $365,729 for the voluntary spending reduction for FY 2012.  This target only affected our EHS budget, as technical education offered through CTE was exempted from Act 146.  Al‐though the Challenges for Change budget adjustments were voluntary, the board took the spending reduction seriously and strove to meet that target.  The board conducted a series of public engage‐ments and conducted a survey during the fall of 2010, where inputs from the public, teachers, and ad‐ministrators were received on how to make these budget adjustments.  As a result of these inputs, coupled with institutional changes, we are able to meet the Act 146 targets for the EHS budget, which is 2.0% less than last year's approved EHS spending plan.  Additionally  the CTE budget was reduced by 1.9% from last year ‐ even though there was no Act 146 requirement for technical education.

Our board considered the Federal Education Jobs Fund (EJF) as a windfall to our FY 2012 revenue pro‐jections. Approximately $275,000 will be allocated to the high school. This funding  must be used for salary and benefit costs. However, applying EJF monies to our salary requirements frees up monies that can be used for other purposes. Recall that we met our Act 146 targets without the EJF. Therefore, our board decided to split the EJF (which we are allowed to do) across the FY 2012 (+$202,000) and FY 2013 (+$73,000) budgets as revenue. This allows us to pay for our temporary requirements ‐ including additional support for our 9th Grade Core program, one‐time school transformational changes and staffing to support our NEASC accreditation.  What does it mean to me?  Even though the statewide base rate for Homestead (property) tax is an‐ticipated to increase by $0.01 and the Common Level of Appraisal (CLA) decreased slightly in both Es‐sex Junction and Essex Town, the budget reduction is significant enough to allow tax rates to go down slightly from this year’s level.  Tax impacts will vary depending on whether you live in the Village or Town and whether you pay purely based on property value or if you receive an income sensitivity ad‐justment.   Please see the narrative preceding each budget for a more complete analysis and review the Town Meeting Tax Grids for estimated taxes based on your personal situation.  Respectfully submitted on behalf of the Union #46 Board,    Jack Behlendorf Chairman, U46 School Board Chittenden Central Supervisory Union [email protected]

Superintendent’s Report S pring is a wonderful time to reflect on the passing of seasons, and to look 

forward as well.  With a total enrollment within the Center for Technology, Essex (CTE) and Essex High School (EHS) of approximately 1,800 students, we continue to be collectively anchored by our commitment to our most impor‐tant resource: our community’s children.  

 Student enrollment across EHS continues to be in a period of declining enroll‐ment, which mirrors the state’s trend for declining student enrollment.  The percentage of tuition‐based high school students from outside of Essex Junc‐tion and Essex Town continues to be stable.  Student enrollment at the CTE continues to be stable, as it receives students from high schools across the re‐gion, including EHS.  Responsible attention to average (student) class size standards serve to maximize our valued teacher resources in both schools.  Citizens should be deservedly proud of the ongoing efforts in our schools to meet the needs of all learners.  The 21st century truly belongs to our children, and helping prepare them for their world is our educational imperative.  The current work of modern schools is to redefine contemporary education, and to transform how learning occurs each day.  Emerging requirements of the current century de‐mand nothing less.  School professionals are thoroughly engaged in meaningful national and state trends affecting educa‐tion, but most importantly are focused on what our own students need to be successful for their pre‐sent and future personal, societal, and economic successes.  Good schools are no longer about offering an education to students that they may (or may not) take advantage of; rather, it is the requirement of our schools to ensure learning occurs.   The success of all students is central to our schools’ mission.  Research‐based learning methods and the intentional design of learning activities, projects, assess‐ments and environments are all a part of modern day teaching and learning in the school district.   De‐sign principles of effective learning require that teachers consider 21st century learning modalities:   Authentic learning (learning from real world problems and questions);  Mental model building (the use of physical and virtual models to refine understanding);   Internal motivation (identifying and employing positive emotional connections in learning);  Multi‐modal learning (applying multiple learning methods for diverse learning styles); and,    Social learning (using the power of interactions with others to improve learning impact). 

 Today’s schools may look unchanged when viewed from the outside.  But inside our schools, our edu‐cators are meeting and exceeding our community’s expectations, hopes, and dreams for our commu‐nity’s children.  The result of their strong efforts is a deeper, more personalized, and meaningful ex‐perience for learners.    Citizens, whether or not they currently have school aged children, are warmly welcomed to visit, volun‐teer, or otherwise connect with your schools.  The array of student‐based events, projects, perform‐

ances, activities, and other engagements is awe‐inspiring, and offers something of interest for every‐one.  I invite you to come and see first‐hand how your investment in our community’s children is pay‐ing daily dividends.  Each school’s specific web site can be accessed through www.ccsuvt.org in order to stay current on “school happenings.”  Respectfully submitted,   Dr. Michael R. Deweese, Superintendent, Chittenden Central Supervisory Union

Student Performance T he Union #46 School District shares the belief that assessment plays an essential role in both 

teaching and learning. Educators use assessment results to measure student learning, to deter‐mine gaps in achievement, to guide and refine the delivery of programs, and to determine focuses of instructional improvements needed in the classroom. The Union #46 School District appreciates the opportunity to fully engage the community in the purposes, uses, and results of the assessments ad‐ministered as part of our comprehensive assessment system.  New England Common Assessment Program (NECAP)   The NECAP reading, writing, mathematics, and science tests measure students’ academic knowledge and skills relative to Grade Expectations (GEs) that are aligned with state standards. GEs represent the knowledge and skills that students should have achieved by the end of the previous school year (reading and math) or at the end of a specific grade span (writing and science).  

Reading:   Administered in October to students in grades 3‐8 and 11 Math:     Administered in October to students in grades 3‐8 and 11 Writing:   Administered in October to students in grades 5, 8, and 11 Science:   Administered in May to students in grades 4, 8, and 11 

 NECAP scores are reported at four levels of academic achievement: Proficient with Distinction, Profi‐cient, Partially Proficient, and Substantially Below Proficient. EJSD’s results from the May 2010 Science test, and the October 2010 Reading, Math, and Writing tests are summarized below. The following charts represent teaching year NECAP data for Union#46 School District.   How did U#46 perform compared to the state? U#46 performed well above state‐wide levels of proficiency in all subjects tested.

Principal’s Report: Essex High School E ssex High School is one of the top performing high schools in Vermont and 

we are working on specific initiatives and measures to continuously im‐prove our school.  

The Academy of Visual and Performing Arts is in its first year of operation.  Stu‐dents in the Academy have been challenged and experienced numerous suc‐cesses in the first year.  Feedback, although preliminary, has been positive from students.  Students who plan post‐secondary study or a possible career in the Arts were provided intensive learning opportunities.  The seminar component has been particularly rewarding for students.  

Our 9th grade core program, which this year involves English and Social Studies classes, has provided our freshmen students with a smoother transition to EHS.  Teachers, working in teams of two, have common students with common planning time, enabling greater connections with students.  This also allows teachers to “Connect the learning,” making the standards and skills learned more relevant to the students.  

Resources were allocated this year for extended learning, or “lab” time, for ninth grade students in lit‐eracy and math.  Students, who would benefit, were scheduled additional time during the school day to hone their skills in reading, writing, and math.  We also had a summer math transition program to assist and support transitioning ninth graders to EHS.  

Online learning opportunities for students continue to evolve.  Our Virtual High School Global Consor‐tium partnership allows for students to greatly expand their elective offerings.  We also will be poised to join the Vermont Virtual Learning Cooperative beginning in the fall of 2011 as another source for our students.  Students, based on their interest and readiness, can choose online classes.  

We received our fourth year of NECAP results in Reading, Writing, and Mathematics.  Our juniors’ scores were the strongest in Chittenden County and were well above state averages.  Eighty‐five per‐cent of our juniors were proficient, or above, in reading; 63 percent of our juniors were proficient, or above, in mathematics; and 65 percent of our juniors were proficient, or above, in writing.  

One highlight of our School Accountability Report continues to be our advanced placement (AP) course enrollment numbers and AP exam scores.  We had a record number of students enroll in AP courses during the 2009‐2010 school year.  This could be due to no prerequisite requirements, students want‐ing to challenge themselves further, economic conditions and the drive to receive as much college credit as possible, financial subsidizing of students in need, or a combination of these factors.  We had 656 students enroll in 17 AP classes.  The AP exams are standard criterion referenced tests.  Course‐specific items appear on the test.  These exams cover only criteria taught in the AP class.  Students earning a three or higher on their exam may be awarded college credit.  During the 2009‐2010 school year, EHS students took 568 tests, with 81% earning a score of three or higher.  EHS students are recognized for their outstanding achievement in academics, the arts, and athletics.  Our enrollment currently is 1338 students making EHS the second largest high school in Vermont.  Our most recent dropout data is 1.5 percent, illustrating high quality opportunities.  We offer a wide‐range of extra‐curricular activities.  These include many club options, academic, athletic, drama, and music

opportunities.  These activities complement students’ experiences at EHS.  

EHS teachers continue to focus on differentiated instruction and formative assessment in their profes‐sional development.  We continue to work on approaches to integrated project‐ based and problem ‐based learning opportunities for students.  

EHS is a positive place for our young people to learn essential skills to prepare them for college or ca‐reer opportunities based on student readiness, interest, and learning style.  It is with the continued support of many that our students are successful.  Respectfully submitted, Robert Reardon, EHS Principal

Principal’s Report: Center for Technology, Essex

T he Center for Technology, Essex (CTE) serves approximately 500 daytime stu‐dents and over 850 adults in evening courses and programs.  Daytime and eve‐

ning high school students and adults benefit from the programs and courses of‐fered at CTE.    Advanced training and educational offerings at CTE provide students with signifi‐cant industry credentials, transcripted college credits, and excellent placement opportunities.  Outcome data are listed in the following table: 

   

         Providing excellent technical education programming requires attention to new trends as we “gear up” for the global workplace.  We are piloting rigorous integration of academics into the pre‐technical ex‐ploratory programs.  We are working with high schools in the region to explore new program offerings including International Tourism, programs for English language learners, and Apprenticeship education and training in plumbing, electrical and heating/ventilation.    Expansion of programs preparing our youth and adults for employment opportunities in health ser‐vices has resulted in offerings in licensed nursing assistant, health informatics, medical assisting, and dental assisting.  All these programs include educational options to advance into higher paying posi‐tions through additional education at CTE, within industry, or at post secondary institutions.  Students attend CTE from 36 towns and 12 high schools.  CTE provides comprehensive technical pro‐grams that include career exploration, preparation, and technical literacy in a respectful learning envi‐ronment.  Over 850 adults participate in SkillTech evening programs or course offerings and we plan to continue the expansion of these offerings.  Service learning, i.e. using technical skills to serve the community, is a component of every program at CTE.  At minimal cost, local taxpayers utilize our preschool, com‐puter services, in‐house restaurant, cosmetology clinic, and health screenings provided by Dental, Health Informatics and Medical Assisting programs.  Senior citizens prepare for winter and sample program services during Senior Service days in November.   CTE is grateful for the ongoing stellar stewardship provided to our regional technical center by the U#46 Board.  Respectfully submitted, Kathleen A. Finck, CTE Principal/Director

About Chittenden Central Supervisory Union

A n Overview of Chittenden Central SU:  Chittenden Central Supervisory Union 

(CCSU) is comprised of three “member” districts: the Westford School District, the Essex Junctions School District, and the Union #46 School Dis‐trict.  Westford School District is comprised of Westford School (grades preK‐8).  The Essex Junction School District is comprised of Summit Street School (grades preK‐3), Hiawatha Elemen‐tary School (grades preK‐3), Thomas Fleming Ele‐mentary School (grades 4‐), Albert D. Lawton Intermediate School (grades 6‐8), and the Essex Junction Recreation and Parks.  Essex High School (grades 9‐12) and the Center for Technology, Essex (grades 11‐adult), make up the Union #46 School District.  With almost 3,200 students, CCSU is one of the largest supervisory unions in Vermont.  General func‐tions of the supervisory union include: insulating schools from unnecessary bureaucracy, providing centralized administration and management services to member districts, and serving in supervising, coordinating, and consultative roles for, and on behalf of, member school districts.  CCSU makes sure to always maintain a student‐centered focus.  The CCSU Central Office is made up of supervisory union administrators and support staff.  Administra‐tors include: the Superintendent, Associate Superintendent, Executive Directors of Operations/Chief Financial Officer, Human Resources, Curriculum, Instruction and Assessment, Technology, and Student Support Services, and Legal Counsel.  Although not necessarily  commonly located, the Directors of Property Services, Food Service, and Finance are also part of Central Office.  In addition, payroll and accounting, and the Essex Junction Treasurer, work in the Central Office.  Lastly, some Technology De‐partment personnel who support the entire supervisory union are funded in the Central Office budget.  The CCSU Budget:  The CCSU Central Office budget is approved by the CCSU School Board, which is made up of three board members from each member school board.  The CCSU budget is funded by way of assessments to the member districts.  This assessment is largely based on percentage of Full Time Equivalent (FTE) positions.  However, portions of the budget may be assessed based on other factors, such as square footage or percentage of computers.  While the FY’12 CCSU budget increased by $100,944 to $3,287,727, the SU assessment costs to school districts actually decreased by $69,246, or 2.6%.  The budget increase is misleading because costs and revenues shifted to CCSU from the school districts.  For example, special education transportation, covered by federal funds, is now managed by the Central Office at a lower overall cost of about $134,000.  The Central Office is also investing in an automated substitute management system for $8,500, which will decrease costs to the school districts.  If not for these cost shifts, the CCSU budget would have decreased.  The following pages break out CCSU revenues and expenses.

Budget Overview: Essex High School T he Union #46 (U#46) School Board is proposing a budget of $21,741,244 for Essex High School (EHS).  The budget represents a decrease of $441,258, or 2.0%, from the current year, and exceeds the Challenges for Change (C4C) Legislative target of $365,729.  The budget takes advantage of $202,386 in Federal Education Jobs Fund (EJF) money to invest in critical, temporary requirements sup‐porting high school transformation, which will improve learning and decrease costs.  Investing the money in temporary requirements will also guard against negative tax consequences when the reve‐nue is no longer available – revenue and expense will both drop.  The budget was also able to take ad‐vantage of some efficiencies and some lower‐than‐anticipated costs.  The bar graph below indicates investment increases and decreases from the FY’11 budget to the FY’12 budget. 

Investments: The decrease of $441,258 was largely in the areas of salaries, transportation and other.  Since salaries and benefits make up over 70% of the budget, we focus much attention on staffing lev‐els.  As always, we accomplished a thorough review of class sizes for current course offerings and fac‐tored in class size standards and enrollment projections for the upcoming year to determine the ap‐propriate number of course sections.  As a result, we reduced personnel by the equivalent of nearly one position.  Over the past three budget years, this results in a reduction of nearly 10 positions.  We also eliminated two para‐educator positions based on decreased student need.  We feel we will be able to make future reductions once the Ninth Grade Core is fully successful, the new learning commu‐nity leader model is in place, and the New England Association of Schools and Colleges (NEASC) recerti‐fication is completed.  We analyzed historical trends in other areas and were able to reduce over $42,000 in overtime salaries, substitute salaries, and tuition reimbursement.  FY’11 marked the final year of payments toward the prior early release incentive program.  Since we only had one applicant for the new program, certified staff retirement costs dropped by nearly $32,000.  The transportation savings is actually a realignment of expense to CCSU for special education (SpEd) transportation.  In‐stead of contracting out SpEd transportation, CCSU is providing the service in‐house at a lower cost.  Costs decreased by about $68,000 and we only transferred $50,000 in SpEd revenues.  Other invest‐ments, such as equipment and general supply purchases and copier costs, also decreased significantly.  Prior equipment investments decreased current requirements.  Joining a buying consortium for custo‐dial supplies decreased costs in that area.  Renegotiating our copier contract also led to savings.  Main‐tenance projects is the only area with increased costs and this is largely driven by the need to purchase and install a back‐up instantaneous hot water heater.

Revenues:  Since we were able to decrease our investment budget, we require nearly $375,000 less in funds (tax money) from the Education Spending Grant.  Due to anticipated decreases in SpEd require‐ments, we should receive about $228,000 less in SpEd revenues.  As previously stated, we are utilizing over $200,000 in temporary, federal EJF money to ensure success as we transform the high school.    The School Board was dedicated to meeting the C4C target, but unwilling to sacrifice educational qual‐ity.  The draft budget satisfies these competing requirements while also providing some tax relief.  In calculating tax rates, the Board has some control over the level of Education Spending, little control over the Equalized Pupil count, and no control over the Base Education Amount.  The Board was able to significantly reduce Education Spending by nearly $391,000 or 2.4%.  However, when factoring in less Equalized Pupils, the Education Spending per pupil only decreased by 0.9%.  Since it appears the Base Education Amount will be held level for the third year, it is truly impressive that the District Spending Adjustment (a critical factor in tax rate calculations) actually decreased by about 1.4%.          Homestead Tax Rate:  The Tax Commissioner recommended a base rate between $0.85 and $0.86, but we are using the more conservative DOE recommendation of $0.87 – a one cent increase over FY’11.           Income Sensitivity Rate: 

Tax Rate Comparisons:  The table below shows a tax decrease whether you live in Essex Junction or Essex Town and whether you pay based on property value, household income, or both.

Budget Overview: Center for Technology, Essex T he Union #46 (U#46) School Board is proposing a budget of $8,292,889 for the Center for Technol‐ogy, Essex (CTE).  The budget represents a decrease of $156,339, or 1.9%, from the current year, and meets the board’s target to decrease tuition by $300 per student.   

Investments: The salary savings relates to positions budgeted, but not filled, in FY’11.  These positions were not included in the FY’12 budget.  The number of students participating in the VT Youth Conser‐vation Corp (VYCC) decreased to the point where we only need to pay for one team.  The increase in equipment costs is mostly due to the need for replacement work stations in Cosmo 1 (not in the rink).    Tuition: Nearly 90% of CTE’s revenue comes in the form of tuition from State grants or sending dis‐tricts.  Since investments are down and the six semester average is stable, less tuition money is re‐quired, which allows CTE to reduce its rate by $300 per student.   CTE Budget Overview:
