Coal City Community Unit School District #1 Board of Education Meeting Minutes Monday, November 19, 2007 Staff Recognition *CCES and CCIS staff attended a presentation on the Response to Intervention (RTI) process on October 25 in the CCES cafeteria. The presentation was given by Mazon Elementary principal Cindy Christensen and teacher Alicia O’Keefe. The presentation focused on how Mazon has implemented the RTI process in their district and some basic structures they have in place for the process. Cindy and Alicia did a nice job on their presentation and it was great to get our PreK – 5 th grade staffs together as a unit. CCES is continuing with the RTI process and we will be meeting on November 19. *On October 15 and 16, Ken Miller and I attended the IL Principals Association State Conference in Peoria, IL. It was a very good conference and I had the opportunity to hear some good keynote speakers and saw some excellent small group sessions. The keynote speakers included Dr. Bob Ash, Dr. Pedro Noguera and State Superintendent Christopher Koch. I also attended small group sessions on Response to Intervention, Phonemic Awareness, Leadership, No Child Left Behind and Assessments. It was also good to have the opportunity to see other administrators from across the state especially colleagues I worked with in other school districts and attended classes with. *Patti Monk and I held a RTI Information Parent Meeting for the parents of CCES and the Coal City School District on Monday, October 29. We did not have a great turnout but we have placed the Powerpoint presentation from the meeting on the CCES webpage. Please take a moment to look at the presentation and Patti and I would gladly answer any questions you may have. We are planning on holding other parent education meetings throughout the year for our CCES parents. CCES/ECC staff members continue to prepare for the transition to the new ECC next school year. We have been working on tentative schedules and determining staff needs for the 2008-09 school year. We have had many committee meetings to help with this transition. Groups that have met include: Grade Levels, ECC Transition Committee, 2 nd /3 rd Transition Committee, Playground Committee and the Teaching/Learning Committee. I would like to thank everyone for all of their extra help during this process. Student Achievement *I have reviewed our Illinois Standards Achievement Test (ISAT) data from spring 2007. I would like to recognize the students who scored at the exceeds level on the ISAT test. The CCES 3 rd grade students took tests in the area of reading and mathematics. In the area of reading, CCES had 39 students who scored at the exceeds level which is 25% of the grade level. In the area of mathematics, 59 students scored at the exceeds level which is 37% of the class. We also had 27 students who scored at the exceeds level on both the reading and math tests.
