Goal 1 Student Achievement - FCPS will equip each and every student to be an empowered learner and an engaged citizen to achieve a positive impact in the local and global community.
Goal 3 Resource Allocation - FCPS will pursue and utilize all resources strategically and responsibly to achieve identified outcomes and inspire public confidence.

In 2002, the Monocacy Valley Public Charter School (MVMPCS) began operation as the first charter school to be established in Maryland.  MVMPCS offers a Montessori-based learning environment serving 300 students in pre-school (beginning at age three) through eighth grade.  Spanish instruction is offered, with eighth grade students receiving high school credit for Spanish 1 and Spanish 2.  In addition, upon successful completion of Algebra I, high school credit may be achieved.

 

MVMPCS students receive instruction in multi-age classrooms.  There are two primary classes which include students between the ages of three to six; four lower elementary classes comprised of students in first, second and third grades; and, four upper elementary fourth, fifth and sixth grade classrooms.  The school also has two middle school classrooms, serving students in seventh and eighth grades.

 

Results from the 2014 Maryland School Assessments (MSA) revealed that 90% of students in math achieved proficiency.  Reading proficiency data were not measured due to students participating in PARCC field testing in this area.  Students at MVMPCS also participated in the Global Scholar Performance Series Assessment.  In the area of reading, 89% of students assessed achieved proficiency; and in math, 93% of students assessed achieved proficiency.

 

Tonight’s Board presentation will provide an annual review of the school program.  Academic, organizational and financial progress for the 2013-2014 school year will be shared.  Ongoing challenges and an action plan for continued growth will also be presented.

Goal 2 Effective and Engaged Staff - FCPS will hire, support, and retain staff who champion individual, professional, and student excellence.

The National Board Professional Teaching Standards (NBPTS) assists teachers in their quest for excellence by assessing and certifying teachers throughout the nation who demonstrate knowledge and skills needed to assist students in meeting high standards of achievement.  The mission of the National Board is to establish high and rigorous standards for what accomplished teachers should know and be able to do.  Their mission is also to develop and operate a national voluntary system to assess and certify teachers who meet these standards, and to advance related education reforms for the purpose of improving student learning in American schools.

 

The purpose of this evening’s presentation is to honor and congratulate eleven Frederick County Public Schools (FCPS) teachers who have achieved National Board Certification, and include the following: 

 

  • Joseph Basford, Middletown Elementary School, who earned certification in Physical Education/Early and Middle Childhood
  • Kevin Bere, Middletown Elementary School, who earned certification in Mathematics/Early Adolescence
  • Bethany Brown-Harkawik, Oakdale High School, who achieved certification as a World Language/Early Adolescence through Young Adulthood
  • Katherine Christiansen, Central Office, who achieved certification in Exceptional Need/Early Childhood through Young Adulthood
  • Noemy Merlos, Orchard Grove Elementary School, who earned certification in English as a New Language/Early and Middle Childhood
  • Nicole Rhodes, Windsor Knolls Middle School, who achieved certification in the area of Science/Early Adolescence

Goals
Goal 1 Student Achievement - FCPS will equip each and every student to be an empowered learner and an engaged citizen to achieve a positive impact in the local and global community.
Goal 4 Family and Community Involvement - FCPS will nurture relationships with families and the entire community, sharing responsibility for student success and demonstrating pride in all aspects of our school system.
Goal 5 Health and Safety - FCPS will promote a culture fostering wellness and civility for students and staff.

Bullying is an issue that impacts our schools and communities.  Frederick County Public Schools (FCPS) believes that a proactive approach is one of the best strategies to prevent bullying.  Therefore, FCPS provides education about bullying to staff, students, parents and community members.  Annual professional development is provided for administrators and staff members.  Classroom lessons, co-curricular activities, school counseling curriculum and interventions are all implemented to teach students prevention and intervention strategies for dealing with bullying. The FCPS brochure entitled, “What You Can Do to Prevent Bullying: A Guide for Parents and Students” is readily available in all schools and is sent home annually with third, sixth and ninth grade students. Several schools provide information about bullying during PTA meetings and/or evening presentations offered for parents.  A number of community agencies are working together with FCPS to provide educational opportunities for students and their families. 

 

In addition to proactive strategies, reviewing statistics surrounding bullying and inappropriate behaviors provides insight to the extent of the problem and the best way to address it.  FCPS bullying, harassment and intimidation data has fluctuated over the years.  In response to the data, systemic procedures continue to be adjusted and improved, educational resources are provided to schools and educational opportunities are offered for students, parents and community members. School leadership, PBIS and/ or School Culture teams are charged with analyzing school-specific data.  Data reviews determine the need for professional learning for staff and lessons for students.

Superintendent Dr. Terry Alban charged a committee with examining the fee structure and process used to secure a school facilities use agreement in accordance with Reg. 100-01:  Rental of Frederick County Public Schools Facilities. She asked members to examine fee structures, user equity, and perform a cost benefit analysis of fees.  She also asked them to examine the application process, including materials and consistent standards.

 

The committee recommends automating the application process using online software, simplifying matrices by implementing standard rates, reclassifying user groups, recovering costs associated with community usage by adding fees for community user groups, and eliminating seasonal application deadlines at the elementary and middle school levels.

 

The Board of Education of Frederick County (BOE) held a work session on December 3, 2014, followed by a public hearing on January 14, 2015.  The BOE discussed other options at a January 28, 2015 work session.  The first option is to adopt the committee’s recommendations as presented in its report.  The second option considers the following modifications to the committee’s recommendations:

 

·        Reduce costs for youth community user groups

o   Eliminate the $5.00 per day/per area charge

·        Adopt a partial cost-recovery model that targets administrative processing costs

o   Second-priority community user groups (Youth Groups/Youth Activities/Youth Organizations) pay a $25.00 per application/per school fee.

o   Application fees align with each of the three established reservation time frames during the year as identified in FCPS Regulation 100-1.

 

Note: With either option, all community user groups will continue to pay hourly rates for stadium fields, auxiliary artificial turf fields, swimming pools, and for hosting track meets.

 

Please see attached documents for the updated community group priority list (backup1) and fee structure (backup 2). 

 

Information pertaining to the prior meetings may be accessed at 12.03.14 Use of Facility Work Session Presentation, 01.14.15 Use of Facility Public Hearing and 01.28.15 Use of Facilities Work Session Presentation.  Staff returns to the BOE for direction on the options.
