Message from the Superintendent

Before I began my tenure assuperintendent of Mariemont CitySchools, I knew about this district byreputation. Mariemont C ity Schools isknown around the state as ahigh-achieving district with a supportivecommunity. After my first year here, I ampleased to report that this district holdstrue to its reputation.

Over the past year, I have been able to take a thoughtfuland objective look at all performance areas of the district.

Overall, the work that we have collectively accomplishedhas been outstanding, and we have much to be proud of.As you look through this Quality Profile, I hope you a lso findthis to be true. We a rean excellent school district.

But, even with excellence there is a responsibility to seekeven higher levels of achievement, and under my watch,we will. Three critical areas will continue to drive ourconversations and future planning as a school system finances, operations and the student experience throughacademics and extrac urricular ac tivities.

Financially, we have controlled costs by eliminating $1.8million from the budget since 2010. This reduction reflectsthe elimination of 16 teaching and staff positions andincreased operational efficiencies. These operational

efficiencies are made possible by the passage of the 2010bond issue, which enabled us to build and renovate schoolbuildings. The new and improved buildings have savedus money through reductions in projected capital outlayexpenditures and by downsizing from three to twoelementary school buildings.

Our focus on the student experience is driven by Destination2026, the strategic instructional vision for our district, whichenables us to explore and identify the knowledge, skills andopportunities that our students will need to competeglobally and succeed in tomorrows world. Our studentsand staff will begin to experience the impac t of theDe stina tion 2026work as ea rly as the 2014-15 school year.

I am excited about the work we have accomplished so

far, but I assure you I am always keeping my eye on thefuture. I appreciate the support you give our school district.Together, we will continue to do great things for ourcommunitys children.

Sincerely,

Steven EsteppSup er in tend ent

Message from the President of theBoard of Education

What another great year at Mariemont City Schools! On

behalf of the Mariemont Board of Education, I would liketo thank everyone who made the 2013-2014 school yearsuch a successful one from all of the parents who provideimportant support to their children at home, to thevolunteers that graciously give their time and talent, to thestaff members that help teach our children how to shine,thrive and grow.

My son recently graduated from Mariemont High School,so, as a parent, I understand how much we all rely on theschool district to provide our children with the experiencesnecessary to help them develop strengths and a passionfor learning. Furthermore, as a community member, I alsounderstand the expectation that the school districtoperates in a fiscally responsibly manner and spends itsdollars wisely.

The bottom line is, our outstanding schools are the coreof our community and of the Mariemont Experience. Ourschool district is a unique blend of honoring the pastand building for our future as we educate our youngleaders and future entrepreneurs. We have traditions,achievements and a legacy that can only be voiced bythe students, teachers, parents, alumni and communitymembers that live the experience.

Our school district and our community are mutuallyexclusive each component makes the other componentpossible. The success of both is reliant on your support.We have collectively lived an experience and, with yoursupport, we will continue to live this experience together.

I hope you enjoy this Quality Profile and celebrate with methe great success of the Mariemont City Schools.

Gratefully,

Fiscal Stewardship

The 2013-14 school year was another great year for Mariemont CitySchools. I am thrilled with the accomplishments of our students and staffmany of them made possible bec ause we have operated in a fiscallyresponsible manner to ensure valuable dollars go straight to theclassroom. Our school district has been recognized for exemplary fiscalreporting and strict budgeting, and as we look to the future, it is criticalthat we continue to uphold our commitment to the strong connec tionbetween finances and academic excellence.

My job as treasurer is to make sure our staff and students have the resources and supportnecessary to maximize each learners individual experience and capacity to thrive in the21st century. This is the sole reason behind the request for approval of the 5.95-mil operatinglevy in November. An operating levy funds the day-to-day operations of a school district the teachers, supplies and utilities needed to maintain our level of excellence and planresponsibly for the future.

The Mariemont Board of Education has kept its promise to make the last levy last threeyears; in fact, the district has made it stretch one year longer than promised for a total offour years. And since the last levy, the district has reduced $1.8 million from the budget,which was not an easy task when millions in state funding has been taken away from our

schools since the last levy request.

I promise to do my part to continue to guide our district to operate asfiscally responsiblyas possible, and I am thankful for the continued support I know our community will provide.Together, we can fulfill our districts mission to create the scholars of today and the leadersof tomorrow.

Please spend some time reviewing the financial information included in this Quality Profile,and as always, feel free to contac t me with questions.

The SRI and SMI are web-based assessment tools that are administered four times each school year(September, December, March and May) to Mariemont City School District students in grades 2-8. Theassessments are adaptive to the learner, meaning that as the student is taking the assessment the questionswill get easier or more difficult depending on the students responses. The benefit of an adaptive test is that itallows the teacher to focus instruction on the specific skills the student needs to develop to grow ac ademically
