IX, Items for Discussion
A. Bonneville Joint School District 93 Strategic Plan - Marjean McConnell and Scott Woolstenhulme
Chairman McBride invited Ms. McConnell and Mr. Woolstenhulme to present Bonneville Joint School District
93 District's Strategic Plan. Ms. McConnell stated that the Idaho State Department of Education requires the
District to post the current Strategic Plan online. Instructional improvement techniques are discussed in the
PLC sessions and implemented in the classrooms; however, the state DOE wants to see data. Our District
Leadership team have complied a five year plan, and aligned our district goals consistent with the current
Board goals. Every year the district will update these goals with additional data so the state DOE can see
our progress.
Student Learning Goals
Cateaory 1: By 2020, 100% of students will demonstrate mastery (80% or above) of essential standards on
common formative assessments. These assessments will be created by the grade level PLC team and the
classroom teacher to fit the needs and learning capabilities of the classroom students. Retesting is available
after review of the test score and instruction is realigned and allow all students to reach the 100% mastery of
the essential standards. Classroom teachers will be able to focus on the concepts students are struggling
with and apply the remedial instruction and enrichment as needed.
Cateqory 2: By 2020, the percentage of students who demonstrate proficiency on the state ELA assessment
will increase 75% in each grade level.
Cateaory 3: By 2020, the percentage of students who demonstrate proficiency on the state math assessment
will increase 75% in each grade level.
These assessments are controlled by the state DOE. The district does not have any control what is on the
test and retesting or repeating the test is not possible. Performance on state assessments should improve as
District's proficiency improves. Grades K-6 focus on math and reading. Middle school and high school math
and English assessments should improve with those classes held every day on the Trimester schedule.
Cateaory 4: By 2020, the percentage of seniors earning college or technical -prep credits in high school will
increase 65% to 100%. The number of seniors earning college credit will increase from 49% to 60%. The
number of seniors earning technical -prep credits will increase from 35% to 40%. Seniors will be have the
opportunity and be encouraged to enroll in dual credit or college credit courses. Job skill classes, i.e., PTE
classes will be available for students with an IEP.
Cateaory 5: By 2020, the percentage of 3rd grade students demonstrating reading proficiency on the state
early reading assessment will increase from 79% to 95%.
Learning Environment Goals
Cateaory 1: By 2020, the district will develop and implement the first 5 -year phase of a 15 -year facilities plan.
This will include facility improvements and additions to existing building as warranted.
Cateaory 2: By 2020, patron survey indicators of learning environments will increase from a 3.0 to a 3.5
Grade Point Average. These areas included providing facilities for long-term growth, creating learning -
centered environment and to ensure safety and welfare of all staff and students.
Cateaory 3: By 2020, student and staff accidents in the district will decrease by 25%. The district defines an
accident as an injury due to accident, not a common health-related occurrence, i.e., an asthma attack.
Worker Compensation claims and student accident reports need to be reduced.
Patron Engagement Goals
Cateaory 1: By 2020, patron survey indicators of engagement will increase form a 2.3 to a 3.5 Grade Point
Average. These areas included providing facilities for long-term growth, creating learning -centered
environment and to ensure safety and welfare of all staff and students.
The district will plan on doing another parent insight survey during the five-year period to determine our
progress and to relook at these indicators.
This strategic plan will be posted on the consent calendar for the Februaryl0, 2016 board meeting for Board
approval.
B. Moodv's Bond Ratina Meeting Recap - April Burton
Chairman McBride invited Mrs. Burton to give a recap on the Moody's Bond Rating meeting which was held
earlier this week in San Francisco, CA. Moody's Investor Service, often referred to as Moody's, is the bond
credit rating business of Moody's Corporation, representing the company's traditional line of business and its
historical name. Moody's Investors Service provides international financial research on bonds issued by
commercial and government entities and, with Standard & Poor's and Fitch Group, is considered one of the
Big Three credit rating agencies. Moody's knew a lot about Idaho and Bonneville Joint School District 93.
The District received an AAA3 rating, a high rating for a school district. Eric Heringer of PiperJaffray and Nick
Miller of Hawley Troxell represented the district well. The district is on schedule to go forward with the bond
pricing in February 2016 and bond sale in March 2016,
Chairman McBride asked John Pymm for an update on the committees. Mr. Pymm stated he is planning a
fieldtrip for the Design Committee to view the Rocky Mountain and Mountain View high schools in the Boise
area. This will be helpful in the designing of our new high school. The interviews for the Construction
Manager/General Contractor (CM/GC) will be held next week. The District received five proposals from
construction companies from Idaho and Utah.
C. Board Policv - Marjean McConnell
Chairman McBride invited Ms, McConnell to explain board policy processes. Ms. Connell explained the
difference between posting policy for public view and private view. All policy and a few specific forms are for
public view; whereas all policy, all forms and all procedures are for private view. Most forms and all the
procedures are for administrative use. It is recommended that all administrative forms and procedures are
