EVSC School Board Approves New Structure for School Support;

1

Approves Building Leaders for 2015-16

The Evansville Vanderburgh Board of School Trustees tonight (5-4-15) approved a new way of supporting schools – with Directors of School Support over each high school attendance district, consisting of a high school and the middle schools and elementary schools that are feeders to it.

Superintendent David Smith explained that through 1½ years of research and the example of success in the EVSC Transformation Zone, leadership has developed a plan to support all schools in a differentiated fashion, re-aligning people with needs and re-allocating resources to fund the changes.
Currently, 34 school principals report to the Chief Academic Officer. Through work with Mass Insight Education, “we have investigated strategies to take us to the next level,” Smith said.

Best practices identified from across the nation showed the greatest success in the clustering of schools, similar to the EVSC’s Transformation Zone model recently approved by the State Legislature as an option for school improvement strategies.

Now, five Directors of School Support will be embedded in the schools and will support one high school attendance district. The sixth Director will be over all high schools, as well as innovative model schools.

During the meeting, Smith read from a list of more than 30 individuals who have left the corporation for other pursuits in the last several years, whose positions were never filled. He said the new Directors of School Support will be funded through re-allocated monies — a combination of monies saved through not filling these positions, as well as grant monies. “We have consciously not filled many positions as this strategy has been developed,” he said. “We have looked at how to better support the needs of school leadership and revised positions throughout Central Office to more directly support their work.” The Directors of School Support will now be school-based positions.

Directors of School Support for 2015-16 are:
Bosse Attendance District: Tammy Dexter, currently assistant director of the Office of Transformational Support, formerly principal at McGary Middle School
Central Attendance District: Jackie Kuhn, currently director of language arts literacy
Harrison Attendance District: Bryan Perry, currently principal of Thompkins Middle School
North Attendance District: Audra Offutt, currently principal at Vogel Elementary School
Reitz Attendance District: Todd Slagle, currently principal at Cedar Hall Community School
High Schools: Darla Hoover, currently principal at Central High School

New building leaders for 2015-16 are:
Elementary K-5 and K-6 Schools
• Caze Elementary School: Jared Turney, principal
• Cynthia Heights Elementary School: Chastity Nisbeth, principal
• Vogel Elementary School: Travis Howard, principal

By Jim Redwine

(Week of 10 May 2015)

T G I F

Thank goodness it’s Friday and the final day of my two weeks of “vacation”. I can’t wait to get back to work and away from Peg’s unending, ever changing list of things that must be done RIGHT NOW and by Me!

Here’s how the negotiations went four weeks ago. Jim: “Uh, Peg, due to a schedule change at work I have an opportunity to squeeze in a couple of weeks of free time. I was thinking I’d just chill out for a while.”

Peg: “Sounds great. Let’s go see my family in Vermont. We haven’t been there since Mom’s funeral.”

Jim: “Uh, boy that’s a good idea. I think being on the road for half my time off is just what I had in mind. Maybe at least one of those Vermonters will say more than ten words to us.”

Peg: “If you’d not get into your arguments over their conservative politics and just be quiet occasionally, they could get a word in. If we don’t go to Vermont, how about Florida?”

Jim: “Oh, that’s good. Let’s drive a thousand miles towards the equator as temperatures are steadily rising. Besides, the last time we went to Florida everyone spoke either Spanish or Yiddish. I didn’t know if we were in Havana or New York City.”

Then she began to slowly set the trap.

Peg: “Well, we could just stay around here. That way you wouldn’t have to take me anywhere.”

I failed to recognize the on-coming train.

Jim: “ That would be great. I can relax, watch some baseball, read a book or two and not shave.”

Peg: “Those are certainly possibilities.”

I thought we had what judges call a meeting of the minds, you know, an oral contract. What I found out was, as Yogi Berra so wisely postulated, an oral contract is not worth the paper it is written on, especially with one’s spouse.

There probably have been baseball games on TV these past two weeks, well not in Baltimore, but somewhere. I cannot be sure because I have spent my whole vacation engaged in projects, Peg’s projects. It must be biological. The wife of the species can see what no husband can, i.e., manual labor hiding in every corner but never to be found lying on the deck with a cool beverage.

Hurry up, Monday!

Evans to Celebrate Walk to School Day   

0

 

Friday, May 8
8:05 a.m.

Meeting at AIS Diamond, 2319 Stringtown Rd. 

 

Evans School is celebrating National Walk to School Day tomorrow with an organized walk to Evans from neighboring AIS Diamond. Students are asked to meet at the Academy of Innovative Studies, Diamond Avenue Campus’ football field around 8:05 tomorrow morning. Around 8:15, the group will walk together to Evans. The school also will use this time as an opportunity to reflect on this school year with a balloon release.

 

National Walk to School Day serves as a way to encourage healthy habits among students. It also helps students learn how to walk safely among traffic and, since families also are invited to walk with their students, it encourages families to be active together.
