Beginning with the <strong>2011</strong>-<strong>2012</strong> school year the Child Nutrition Reauthorization<br />

Section 205 <strong>of</strong> the Healthy, Hunger-Free Kids Act <strong>of</strong> 2010 – Equity in School<br />

Lunch Pricing is now requiring schools to charge an average lunch price equal to<br />

or more than the difference between the reimbursement for a free and paid lunch.<br />

In other words, the federal government is requiring all school districts to raise<br />

lunch prices. This increase in breakfast/lunch pricing is federally driven<br />

not driven by local school districts throughout the country.<br />

Breakfast, the most important meal <strong>of</strong> the day,<br />

P.A.M.—Online Grades<br />

JOSEPH BADGER BOARD OF EDUCATION <strong>2011</strong><br />

BHS and BMS parents continue to<br />

have access to a online grade system<br />

called P.A.M. (Parent Assist Module). This system allows parents access<br />

to student information (grades) via the Internet. We believe that this<br />

communication tool has provided a valuable link between home and<br />

school and will increase parents’ awareness concerning the academic<br />

progress <strong>of</strong> their children. Teachers and parents can now work together<br />

to ensure the success <strong>of</strong> all students. If you have not received a<br />

username/password please contact your child’s guidance counselor.<br />

Parents <strong>of</strong> fifth graders will receive a username and password at<br />

orientation, August 18, <strong>2011</strong>.<br />

Credit Flex—<strong>Joseph</strong> <strong>Badger</strong> Board <strong>of</strong> Education Policy #811.10<br />

The <strong>Joseph</strong> <strong>Badger</strong> Board <strong>of</strong> Education recognizes that an effective<br />

educational program is one that provides opportunities for students to<br />

customize aspects <strong>of</strong> their learning around their respective needs and<br />

interests. Credit Flexibility is one method to motivate and improve<br />

student learning by allowing access to an increased number <strong>of</strong> resources,<br />

customization <strong>of</strong> individual students needs and the use <strong>of</strong> multiple<br />

measures <strong>of</strong> learning. Credit flexibility shifts the focus from traditional<br />

“seat time” learning to learning by/from performance.<br />

Students can earn units <strong>of</strong> high school credit based on a individually<br />

approved credit flexibility plan. The intent <strong>of</strong> credit flexibility is to meet<br />

increased expectations for high school graduation in response to<br />

globalization, technology and demographics due to family mobilization.<br />

21st century skills require students to be culturally diversified thus a<br />

knowledge base can be achieved through completing traditional<br />

coursework, testing out or showing mastery <strong>of</strong> course content, pursuing<br />

educational option(s) and/or individually approved options or any<br />

combination <strong>of</strong> the forementioned. This policy is in accordance with<br />

O.R.C. 3313.60.<br />

August meetings begin at 5:00 p.m.). Special Meetings are scheduled<br />

as needed. The time and location <strong>of</strong> all Special Board meetings are<br />

announced to the media at least 24 hours in advance.<br />

All Board <strong>of</strong> Education meetings are open to the public. Individual<br />

concerns should be handled through proper administrative channels,<br />

with the Board acting as a source <strong>of</strong> appeal beyond the level <strong>of</strong><br />

Superintendent. Executive sessions, as permitted by law, are closed to<br />

the public.<br />

2010-<strong>2011</strong> RETIREMENTS<br />

EXPLORE Test Results: 2010-<strong>2011</strong><br />

BMS 8 th grade students<br />

BHS Basketball<br />

Explore test results are reviewed individually with all<br />

eighth grade students at <strong>Badger</strong> Middle School.<br />

Students’ scores are reflective <strong>of</strong> their progress in English, Math,<br />

Science and Social Studies. The tests also look at college readiness,<br />

plans after high school and career possibilities. It is never too early to<br />

begin the discussions <strong>of</strong> career(s) and to begin the exploration process<br />

<strong>of</strong> the ever changing work world. Each student is given the score<br />

sheet, test copy and “using Your EXPLORE Results” booklet to take<br />

home. If your son/daughter is an eighth grader, please go through<br />

these results together and discuss potential career options. <strong>Badger</strong><br />

Middle School was selected to take part in this testing through the<br />

Eastern Ohio P-16 Partnership for Education grant. More information<br />

can be found at the website www.explorestudent.org.

BADGER ELEMENTARY MOVES TO 6 WEEK GRADING PERIODS<br />

Following careful consideration and much input from parents, the county<br />

<strong>of</strong>fice (TCESC) and parent groups, <strong>Badger</strong> Elementary School (BES) has<br />

moved to a 6-week grading period effective <strong>2011</strong>-<strong>2012</strong> school year.<br />

Academics has been and continues to be the top priority for BES<br />

particularly, when early intervention has been proven to produce the<br />

most positive academic results. The 6-week grade reporting period is the<br />

school’s continued effort to keep parents informed about the academic<br />

progress <strong>of</strong> their children. The 6-week grade reporting period also<br />

provides an opportunity for teachers and parents to intervene early and<br />

Total revenues have decreased drastically because <strong>of</strong> the most recent<br />

reductions in state aide. TO THIS POINT, THE JOSEPH BADGER SCHOOL<br />

DISTRICT IS PROUD OF CONTROLLING COSTS THROUGH ADVANCE PLANNING<br />

TO INCLUDE PERSONNEL AND OPERATIONAL SAVINGS WITHOUT SACRIFICING<br />

STUDENT SERVICES. The district will enter the <strong>2011</strong>-<strong>2012</strong> school year<br />

with student services typical <strong>of</strong> past years:<br />

• 100% Pre-K-12 busing<br />

Coach Kochemba discussing<br />

strategies with the eighth grade<br />

team. (right) Seventh grade team<br />

members during a time out.<br />

Fiscal Outlook<br />

School Districts across Ohio are still reeling from Governor Kasich’s<br />

FY<strong>2012</strong>-2013 budget plan. The Governor’s new biennium budget has a<br />

major impact on educational funding, i.e. state aide. You can see the<br />

effects <strong>of</strong> the new budget on the <strong>Joseph</strong> <strong>Badger</strong> School District,<br />

according to the chart below:<br />

New Budget<br />

FY FY10 FY11 FY12 FY13<br />

Total Revenues 8.2M 8.0M 7.8M 7.5M<br />

• 100% K-12 extra-curricular activities available with NO PAY TO<br />

PARTICIPATE<br />

• Continue with the fourth year <strong>of</strong> the ongoing Computer<br />

Technology Initiative, to now include all grade 9 and 10 core<br />

curriculum courses. Each student and all staff members will now<br />

have access to a personal laptop computer on a daily basis thus<br />

grades 3-10 now have daily use <strong>of</strong> hands-on technology<br />

• All Pre-K-12 curriculum <strong>of</strong>ferings will remain intact for the <strong>2011</strong>-<br />

<strong>2012</strong> school year<br />

• The expansion <strong>of</strong> Instrumental Music to include Grade 5 will<br />

continue<br />

• BMS Gifted Curriculum remains in place<br />

• All Day Every Day Kindergarten/Enrichment remains intact<br />

• Pre-K will continue as a “not for pr<strong>of</strong>it” program<br />

• Elementary Enrichment for grades 3 and 4 students will continue<br />

• BHS Advanced Placement Curriculum will continue with the<br />

addition <strong>of</strong> AP Psychology<br />

• Grade 8 students will continue to have an opportunity to take<br />

three courses for BHS credit: French I, Algebra I, and Intro to<br />

Physics and Chemistry<br />

As the District strives to control costs and continue its lowest millage in<br />

Trumbull County, the Board <strong>of</strong> Education will provide student services<br />

within those revenues generated by the federal, state and local<br />

governments.

Mrs. Gruver (Speech Teacher) and Miss<br />

Lundy (4 th grade teacher) started a book<br />

club this year. Once a week, during recess,<br />

kids went to Ms. Lundy’s room to read,<br />

talk about books and test on Reading<br />

Counts. In May the kids decided to do a<br />

play called "The Clever Turtle." They made<br />

all <strong>of</strong> the costumes, props and backgrounds<br />

for the play. They performed the<br />

play for kindergarten, first grade and<br />

fourth grade.<br />

One application serves for both breakfast and lunch.<br />

• Who can receive free / reduced meals? Children in households with at least one person (including<br />

free / reduced meals if your household’s gross income is within the free / reduced limits on the<br />

Yes<br />

Your child’s application is only good for last school year and for the first few days <strong>of</strong> the present school year. You<br />

must submit a new application, due September 11, <strong>2011</strong>, unless you are notified that your child is directly<br />

certified through the State <strong>of</strong> Ohio.<br />

• What if I disagree with the school’s decision about my application? You should talk to school<br />

<strong>of</strong>ficials. You also may ask for a hearing by writing or calling: Dr. David D. Bair, Superintendent, 7119<br />

State Route 7, Kinsman, Ohio 44428, 330.876.2810.<br />

yourself and all children who live with you.<br />

• My Family needs more help. Are there other programs we might apply for? To find out how to<br />

apply for Ohio SNAP or other assistance benefits, contact your local assistance <strong>of</strong>fice or call 877-852-0010.<br />

The <strong>Joseph</strong> <strong>Badger</strong> School is concerned about the sensitivity <strong>of</strong> student lunch status. All students check out<br />

(pay) for their breakfast and lunch in the same manner, using a pin pad; therefore, no status identification.<br />

The Richard B. Russell National School Lunch Act requires the information on this application.<br />

child for free or reduced price meals. You must include the social security number <strong>of</strong> the<br />

adult household member who signs the application. The social security number is not required<br />

on Indian Reservations (FDPIR) case number or other FDPIR identifier for your child or<br />

when you indicate that the adult household member signing the application does not have<br />

a social security number. We will use your information to determine if your child is eligible<br />

for free or reduced price meals, and for administration and enforcement <strong>of</strong> the lunch and<br />

breakfast programs. We MAY share your eligibility information with education, health, and<br />

nutrition programs to help them evaluate, fund, or determine benefits for their programs,<br />

auditors for program reviews, and law enforcement <strong>of</strong>ficials to help them look into violations<br />

<strong>of</strong> program rules.<br />
