Superintendent’s Monthly Report

 
BOE Meeting
7/27/10
 
1.    All schools are graded according to standards set by Federal legislation known as No Child Left Behind. Adequate Yearly Progress or AYP is the designation awarded to schools that meet the standards. The three academic schools in our system must meet 13 goals in order to receive this national rank. With pride, we announce tonight that all 3 schools, Haleyville Elementary, Haleyville Middle and Haleyville High achieved AYP status for 2010-2011! This is what we are all about…teaching and learning…and making AYP is proof that our teachers teach and our students learn! This is a team award and congratulations belong to all, for it truly takes a village to raise a child!
  
2.    It seems like yesterday student were leaving school for summer break; overnight we’re talking the start of a new school year. It takes a lot of hard work over the summer to prepare for start of school and our administrators and board members have done an excellent job this summer. The floors are shinning, fresh paint can be found in needed areas, lockers are being assigned, supply lists are posted, class rolls will be available by week’s end and the football team and band will soon be playing on Friday nights. Yes, school is only a few days away from another year’s start! Faculty will report for Institute Day a week from tomorrow on August 4th and the first student day is the following Monday, August 9th. The first few days are always heavy with traffic; please remember to park in designated areas and do not block traffic lanes. The key word for the start of school for everyone is PATIENCE!!     
 
3.    Every year a Certified State School Bus Inspector goes over   all of our buses with a fine tooth comb. Once again this year, our fleet of buses received the highest grade with 100% passing inspection. The buses are ready to roll… Congratulations Mike Batchelor for a job well done! 
 
4.    This Board held a Work Session last night at the Boyce S. Albright Administrative Building. All members were present along with our principals.  Conversations concentrated on final physical, personnel and financial needs to open the school year as well as discussion on short and long term goals of the system.  No official business transacted.   
    
5.    The next Regular Session of the Haleyville City Board of Education is scheduled for Tuesday night, August 24, 2010 at 7:00, in the Board Room of the high school with a Work Session before if needed.   
 
6.    We have not had a “Technology Spotlight of the Month” this summer but plans are to restart this monthly board meeting feature next month.
