We Believe Our SupportServices Make a PositiveDifference to EducationThere are a number of initiatives that occur outside the classroom that make all the difference inside theclassroom. Iredell-Statesville Schools offers a number of non-academic support structures to help students bemore successful at school.Our counselors and student assistance program coordinators provide services to both students and parentson a variety of topics, including career and college readiness and intervention and counseling for personalstruggles. Our social workers serve as liaisons between school and home to help ensure the best conditionsfor learning occur for our students. School nurses are available in each school to perform health assessments,supervise and administer medication, provide emergency care, and perform other health-related tasks.The PARC (Proud & Responsible Choices) grant, a federal grant worth $4 million to provide educationalresources for teens and their parents, completed its second year. Within the first two years of the four-yeargrant, more than 1,100 students participated in voluntary classes. The program is conducted in cooperationwith eight local community agencies, and provides transportation and other participation incentives. Basedon feedback received from students, more than 50 % of the participants reported being more likely to abstainfrom sexual intercourse following the program.This past school year, Iredell-Statesville Schools also increased its focus on the issue of bullying. To helpcombat bullying, the district provided comprehensive professional development on the identification andprevention of bullying. As a complement to this training, Iredell-Statesville Schools also launched an onlinetool to enable students, parents, and staff members to report incidents of bullying to school administrators.More than1,000students completed the 2011-2012school year with perfect attendance$30,000McKinney Vento grant was used to help eligiblestudents purchase school supplies, help provideassistance for family household expenses, andpay student fees320students servedthrough McKinneyVento servicesStudent Support Services Highlights• The district’s lead social workerand several students werefeatured in a national McKinneyVento (federal legislation thatsupports homeless or displacedstudents) video• The number of incidents ofcrime and violence decreasedby more than 8 percent• Student fitness testing andanalysis was fully implementedin 4th-9th grades and all highschools have a fitness center• All 17 Prime Time for Kidslocations are 5-star ratedchildcare programs• Truancy court has proven to bea positive intervention to helpimprove student attendance• All five high schools havefulltime school nurses4

Often working behind the scenes, ourtransportation, maintenance, and childnutrition departments provide valuableservices that help our schools run at theirbest.Our school system operates 40separate sites, covering approximately1,200 acres and more than fourmillion square feet, all while NC EducationLottery proceeds and local capital outlayfunds continue to diminish. This past year,with the assistance of the energydepartment of the facilities and planningdivision, energy efficiency reached recordlevels, with 33.56 % cost avoidance. Thedepartment is currently investigating theuse of other energy-saving materials,including LED lighting, compact fluorescentlighting, and heat using recycled fuels.We Believe Effective,Efficient Operations HelpSchools Run Smoother5At the end of the 2011-2012 school year,the facilities task force completed acomprehensive facilities needs assessment.The plan calls for approximately $250million in renovations, repairs, andadditions. The recommendations weredeveloped by a group that includedmembers from the Iredell-StatesvilleSchools Board of Education, the IredellCounty Board of Commissioners, as wellas community members appointed by bothboards.In 2011-2012, 210 school buses traveledapproximately 13,600 miles each day, orroughly 2.5 million miles per year, makingnearly 1.9 million stops, to safely transportnearly 14,000 students.

The transportation department also maintains the district’s activity buses, as well as 37 school buses for Mooresville Graded Schools.This past year, the department improved its transportation efficiency rating to 96.79%, higher than the state’s average of 93.85%, andwas featured in several articles by the Urban Institute at UNC-Charlotte for efforts to reduce transportation costs.In addition to optimizing route efficiency and cutting costs, the transportation department and district safety officer have increased effortsto improve bus safety. All buses are equipped with GPS tracking devices, enabling buses to be more quickly located in the event of anemergency. This past year, the district used grant funds to pilot the use of video cameras on school bus stop arms. The cameras capturevideo footage of stop arm violations and enable law enforcement officials to prosecute individuals who pass stopped school buses.This past year, the child nutrition department served more than 650,000 breakfasts and 1.9 million lunches. With all schools receivingthe White Glove Award, the district performed very well on the five-year Coordinated Review Effort/School Meal Initiative (CRE/SMI) reviewwith the Department of Public Instruction (DPI), with very few corrective actions recommended. Despite the rising costs of fresh fruitsand vegetables and other meal supplies, the department continues to meet its financial goals, even returning approximately $505,800 inindirect costs to the school system.School Operations Highlights• The transportation department developed and implemented a process that enables bus drivers to clock in and clock out from the GPSunit on their school bus• The process for enrolling students was streamlined and is now more convenient and efficient for both parents and schools• Statesville High School student group placed 2nd in the North Carolina Bus Stop Safety “Making Tracks” video contest• Vehicle fuel costs have been reduced through a partnership with the Town of Troutman• Tina Wilson, field supervisor for middle & high schools became certified to teach ServSafe• 13 of our cafeteria managers & assistants took the new 6th edition of ServSafe and all passed• Sharon Elementary began its first Nutrition Advisory Council with the goal of increasing fruit and vegetable intakeYear Local NC Education Lottery Proceeds2006-2007 $995,9852007-2008 $1,255,4132008-2009 $1,528,541Year2009-2010 $2,578,7422010-2011 $2,849,0252011-2012 $1,498,299* Can only be used for construction, maintenance, & debt services forschool facilities; use of lottery proceeds must be approved by board ofeducation, county commissioners, and DPILocal CapitalOutlay Budget2008-2009 $6,007,2992009-2010 $2,217,9862010-2011 $1,244,1602011-2012 $2,266,245ENERGY DASHBOARDwas implemented at several pilot sites to help schools conserve energy and save moneyAll school cafeterias received aPERFECTsanitation score for the 4th quarterBus driver overtime has been decreased by89%over the last three years6

Schools have a huge responsibility. Firstand foremost, we are entrusted with theeducations of more than 20,000 students.We also have to ensure that we aremaking the best decisions possible withregard to the financial resources providedto us.Like many other school districts across thestate and nation, the past few years havebeen challenging for Iredell-StatesvilleSchools. Fewer financial resources areavailable to schools, and unfortunately,that often translates into fewer educationalresources for students. During the 2011-2012 school year, I-SS was able to weatherthe financial storm while still maintaining avariety of educational opportunities forstudents. However, although the districtwas not forced to do employee layoffs,more than 285 positions have remainedunfilled following resignations andretirements.We Believe In BeingResponsible With theResources Entrusted to Us7Throughout the economic downturn, thedistrict has been able to maintain a healthyfund balance. To date, fund balancedollars have not been required to balancethe budget. However, in the 2012-2013school year, the district projects that it willneed to spend up to $1.7 million fromfund balance in order to balance thebudget.Despite having state, local, and federalbudgets that remain drastically belowpre-recession levels, the district’sadministration and board of educationremain fully committed to providing adiverse continuum of educational servicesfor students.

At the end of the school year, more than 250 staff members took part in the district’s annual Curriculum Review Week, where teachersdeveloped curriculum guides and student assessments aligned with the new Common Core & Essential Standards. These teachers willreturn to their schools to help train and prepare other educators for the 2012-2013 school year.Many of Iredell Statesville Schools’ administrators and teachers are also leaders on a broader scale, leading professional developmentand presentations across the state and nation. In 2011-2012, I-SS employees were featured and asked to present at numerousconferences, including:• Baldrige National Quality Program Regional Conference (Kansas City, MO)• American Society for Quality (Greenville, SC)• Georgia Association of Curriculum & Instruction (Greensboro, GA)• Baldrige National Quality Program Annual Quest Conference (Washington, DC)• Collaborative Conference on Student Achievement (Greensboro, NC)• i3 Grant Makers (Greensboro, NC)• Florida Educational Technology Conference (Orlando, FL)• 2012 Summer Leadership Conference/NCSSA Superintendents’ Retreat (Asheville, NC)• Exceptional Children’s Conference (Greensboro, NC)• Middle School Conference (Greensboro, NC)• Association for Supervision & Curriculum Development (Conover, NC)The district also regularly provides trainings for other school districts and hosts site visits for organizations interested in learning moreabout the processes and tools used in Iredell-Statesville Schools.In our district, we believe good work should not go unrecognized.
