The superintendent of the Public Schools of Robeson County wrote to the chairman of the North Carolina State Board of Education to request direct intervention or immediate takeover by the state board.

An audit found the district running a deficit and down to less than one month of operating funds.

The goal is to provide academic and job skills training to help Easter Seals Arc clients gain employment. Northeast Indiana Works is funding the pilot program, and Ivy Tech Community College is providing a modified certification course. The program includes classroom instruction in reading, writing, math, and soft skills, as well as field trips to local businesses. Students are making progress toward their goals of independence and employment.
The chairperson provides a summary of the 2013 year at Pukekohe Hill School. Key points include:
- There was a largely new board elected in 2013 that has faced a steep learning curve.
- The school received high praise in its 2012 ERO review for its strong, dedicated teaching team and sound governance.
- Enrollment has remained steady at around 600 students, placing pressure on school facilities. Repairs were made to the roof and leaks over the past year.
- The board reviews the school's strategic charter and policies annually to set goals and measure progress. Efforts continue to support Maori and Pacific island students.
The school board president provides an update on the strong state of the University Place School District. Superintendent Patti Banks is retiring after many years of service. The board undertook a thorough process to select a new superintendent, seeking community input. They ultimately hired Deputy Superintendent Jeff Chamberlin who was seen as continuing the legacy of excellence in the district.
The document discusses the "At Promise" program, which was created to help struggling students succeed. It has expanded over the years and now supports students at multiple grade levels. The first graduates of the program are being produced, including a student who credits the program for his academic and athletic success.
This document discusses a United Methodist Church resolution on public education. It affirms that education is a right for all children and calls on the church to support, strengthen, and reform public schools. It notes challenges facing North Carolina public schools like decreased funding, teacher shortages, and educational disparities. The document calls United Methodists to advocate for issues like adequate funding, support for teachers, early childhood education, and ensuring a quality education for all children.
This document provides the transcript of Sharon Desmoulin-Kherat's State of the Schools address on May 4, 2016 in Peoria, Illinois. In the address, she:
1) Thanks various community partners for their support of Peoria Public Schools and recognizes members of the school board.
2) Discusses the district's diversity and programs like International Baccalaureate that help students succeed.
3) Identifies three "wicked problems" facing the district - poverty, mental health issues, and inadequate state funding - and emphasizes the need for community collaboration to address these challenges.
The document summarizes a case study of a rural high school's efforts to strengthen community ties through various partnership programs and activities. The high school worked with a district-wide partnership committee to organize events like a community health fair providing free health screenings. Students were also involved in tutoring at local schools, fundraising, and gained work experience through an internship program. The principal and district leaders saw the community partnerships as important for bringing people together and supporting educational improvements with less reliance on legislation and funding.
The document summarizes a case study of a rural high school's efforts to strengthen community ties through various partnership programs and activities. The high school worked with a district-wide partnership committee to organize events like a community health fair providing free health screenings. Students helped coordinate many partnership activities and gained real-world work experience through an internship program. The principal and district leaders saw strong school-community connections as important to support educational improvements in the face of limited funding.
Through their annual convening, over 150 North Carolina community college presidents and local school superintendents addressed the state's most pressing education and workforce issues. Several successful partnership examples were highlighted, including Pitt Community College and Pitt County Schools' initiatives to strengthen career pathways for students; Central Carolina Community College's work with regional school districts to align efforts and tailor supports; and Rowan-Cabarrus Community College and Rowan-Salisbury Schools' teacher preparation pipeline program. Key takeaways focused on the importance of intentional collaboration to improve student outcomes and meet workforce needs.
The Washington State Community College (WSCC) received an $8,000 contribution from the AT&T Foundation to support the College Ready Project, a partnership between WSCC and local school districts. The project aims to help high school students gain skills needed for college-level courses to increase graduation rates and career opportunities. It will provide tutoring and mentoring to "middle quartile" students who are close to being college ready but often lack support. The funds will allow educators to identify skills gaps and incorporate them into high school classes to better prepare students for college testing and success.
The Education Alliance launched several new initiatives in the past year focused on remaking learning for West Virginia students, including a STEM Network Schools program, financial literacy initiative, and partnerships to support early childhood education. The STEM Network Schools program aims to increase student engagement in STEM subjects and has already trained over 430 teachers. A new financial literacy initiative works to strengthen students' financial capability and increase college access. United Way Born Learning Academies partner with schools to provide early childhood education resources and support to over 260 families.

2. President’s Letter
First, let me start off by saying how honored I am to be
servingonceagainasPresidentoftheBoardofEducationforthe
Northwest School District. I’ve served in this position, as well as
a member on the Board of Education
for 11 years. A lot has changed in the
District over that time, but the one
thing that has remained the same is
the District and Board of Education’s
commitment to providing a quality
education for all of our students.That
commitment to continually improve,
grow and strengthen the high stan-
dards already set for the students of
the Northwest School District, was
echoed by the community this past
April with the successful passage of Proposition LIONS. The
bond issue that will allow us to improve our facilities.
The Board of Education, Administration, staff and par-
ents worked closely to compile projects that we all felt were
necessary to continue leading the Northwest School District in
a positive direction. Over the next few weeks and months, you
can expect to see a lot of improvements happening at many of
our facilities. New roofs will go up, flooring will be replaced and
the high school stadium will soon be covered in turf. These are
just a few of the projects taxpayers said“Yes”to in April. We be-
lieve all of them will not only help improve the look, feel and us-
ability of our schools, but help in building upon the community
pride that already is strong here.
As a longtime resident, parent, grandparent and alum-
na of the Northwest School District, I understand the pride that
comes with growing up here; sending your kids and grandkids
to our schools and watching them walk across the stage at grad-
uation. It’s that sense of Lion pride that is in all of us in this com-
munity. We have faced adversity together, whether as parents
trying to help our children and grandchildren or as community
members lending a hand to those in need. My hope is that we
can continue to grow the successful partnership made between
the community and schools. I believe if we all work together, we
can improve, strengthen and build upon the strong educational
foundation we’ve established for generations to come.
Superintendent’s Note
Things are not always as they appear. I think we all
experience this at times in our lives. The Northwest School
District is not immune to this per-
ception. I bring this up because
recently, I’ve heard many com-
ments concerning District financ-
es and in particular, perceptions
about our finances. I’ve heard peo-
ple questioning how we can make
facility improvements while we are
cutting positions and unable to
provide raises or even cost of liv-
ing increases for our staff. I admit
it does appear unusual that we are
putting turf on the stadium field, yet we don’t have money
for staff. As I said, things aren’t always as they appear.
School funding comes from a variety of sources in-
cluding State, Federal and Local revenue streams. These
streams of money oftentimes have restrictions on how they
are to be used. One good example of a funding source that
has a restricted use is Bond Funds. As most of you are aware,
the District passed a Bond Issue in April with the support of
our community. The passage of the Bond Issue provided
the District with $12.5 million in new funding, but the fund-
ing has a catch. It must be used for capital improvement
projects; in other words facility improvements.
The facility improvements the District will accom-
plish over the next two years include: the replacement of
classrooms at High Ridge Elementary, gym/library improve-
ments at Murphy and Brennan Woods, roofing and flooring
projects at many schools, technology infrastructure up-
grades, and the stadium project at Northwest High School.
These improvements were derived from a facility commit-
tee that met in the fall to prioritize projects from a long
list of potential projects. The committee was made up of
parents, staff and administrators. Each individual was al-
lowed to vote for the projects they felt were most impor-
tant for the District. I did not participate in this process.
All new construction projects came from this meeting, and
while some of the improvements may not have been what I
would have chosen, I appreciate the committee’s hard work
in compiling the projects.
What the Bond Issue funds cannot be used for is
salary, benefits and operational expenses. It would be il-
legal for the District to utilize the funds in this way. I wish
we could use the funds for staff because I truly believe
they deserve a salary increase. They work tirelessly to not
only help our students succeed, but our families and com-
munity. Their dedication has not gone unnoticed. Unfortu-
nately, that commitment hasn’t been able to be rewarded
monetarily. Even though the District’s finances may not be
what we want, the community’s continued commitment to
student success is what makes our District wonderful. We
appreciate your continued support of the Northwest School
District as we work through some challenging financial
times to ensure the success of all our students.

3. Board of Education Spotlight:
Gary Barrett
Why did you run?
I chose to run because I believe that every citizen has an obligation to educate the children in their community to the
best of our ability. I am willing to contribute my time, talents and passion to help our students achieve educational
excellence and grow into adults who are well-prepared to be good citizens. I have lived in
House Springs all my life and I believe that I understand what our community wants and ex-
pects regarding how we educate our children.
What do you hope to accomplish while serving?
To provide valuable input to an already cohesive team that believes it is our responsibility
to provide for the education of the youth in our community, to prepare them for both their
future and our future. It takes the efforts of many different people, parents, teachers, admin-
istrators and the community as a whole to provide the right setting for our students to have a
proper learning environment. It will give me great satisfaction knowing that I am involved in
providing the best possible teachers, resources and facilities to ensure that our kids have the
opportunity to succeed in life.
What is the most challenging part of serving on the Board of Education?
Finding ways to address the financial concerns that we must contend with in order to provide a quality education for
all of our students.
Most memorable Northwest memory?
While I was sitting at graduation for the first time as a Northwest R-I Board of Education member, I realized how hon-
ored and proud I am to be serving the community where not only I graduated from, but my wife, children and now
my grandchildren will be graduating from in the future. I TRULY BLEED BLUE.
Current occupation?
My wife Connie and I own and operate Barrett Concrete in House Springs, Missouri.
Children?
I have two children. Jason Barrett is my son and a 1991 NHS graduate who is currently employed at Oak Hill Cemetery.
I also have a daughter, Nicole Maxey who is a 1992 NHS graduate who works for the Northwest School District. My
grandchildren, McKenzy, Tessa and Cole all currently attend the Northwest School District.
Geoff Macy Named Chief Operating Officer
The Northwest School District is pleased to announce Mr. Geoff Macy as the new Chief Oper-
ating Officer effective July 1, 2014. Mr. Macy has served the students, families and staff of the
Northwest School District for over five years in several different capacities. Most recently, he
served as principal of Valley Middle School.
During his tenure in the Northwest School District, Mr. Macy has established himself as a lead-
er not only in the school he is working at, but throughout the entire district. Superintendent
Dr. Paul Ziegler noted,“Mr. Macy will bring a great deal of leadership, integrity, dedication and
intelligence to his new position. Anybody who knows Mr. Macy also knows that he is truly a
Northwest Lion that‘Bleeds Blue’. ”
Mr. Macy has a strong and successful record in education and serving children. He started his career with St. Louis
Public Schools. It was during his time there that he quickly established himself as a trusted leader in several middle
schools and Cleveland High School.
Mr. Macy’s experience working with students, families and staff will prove to be a valuable asset to the Northwest
School District and the students and families it serves.

Students at High Ridge Elemen-
taryenjoyed the warmer weath-
er the last day of school with our
Spring Fling! Traditionally the
Spring Fling is High Ridge’s way
of saying goodbye to our 5th
graders, but this year, all grade
levels joined in the fun! The kids
had their faces painted, enjoyed
delicious snow cones and blew
bubbles on the playground. The
most popular activity was the
karaoke machine. Many of our
talented students shared their
various renditions of Frozen
songs!
Brennan Woods Elementary
The first Leadership Day at BWE was very success-
ful. Over 100 par-
ents, staff and com-
munity members
visited the school
that day to hear
about the different
leader roles offered
and the positive im-
pact it’s having on our students. This is a program
our teachers and students have really embraced
and we look forward to growing it next year.
Cedar Springs Elementary
More than 20 area businesses participated in this
year’s CARE Day at Cedar Springs. We had peo-
ple from all walks of life share with the students
what they do for a living
and what kind of educa-
tion it takes to get there.
Students got the oppor-
tunity to hear about the
work a wood carver, musi-
cian and cattle farmer do
every day. The students,
staff and teachers all look forward to this fun day
of learning each spring.
House Springs Elementary
We’ve been busy at House Springs Elementary this
spring! We’ve had a lot of fun activities planned for
our students, but one of our favorites was Grand-
parent’s Day. In early
April, we invited grand-
parents of all of our
students in to see the
great things happen-
ing at House Springs
Elementary. About 500 grandparents showed up
and were treated to songs, craft projects and tours
of the building. It was a great way for our students
to showcase all that they’ve worked on this year.
Murphy Elementary
Murphy Elementary students have talent! Singers,
dancers and musicians
entertained friends,
family and community
members at this year’s
Murphy Talent Show.
There were 19 acts

Early Childhood Center
Hard work, dedication and team
work definitely paid off for stu-
dents, teachers and staff at ECC
this spring! Just a few weeks ago,
we learned that our center was
awarded the Bronze State Rec-
ognition for our Positive Behav-
ior Interventions and Supports
(PBIS) program. This is a proactive
approach to establishing a posi-
tive behavior support and culture
needed for students to achieve
social, emotional and academic
success. We are extremely proud
of our teachers and look forward
to growing this program to help
all of our students!
Maple Grove Elementary
Maple Grove Elementary had two Leadership Days
this spring. We invited community members and
parents in to learn more
about the 7 Habits of Hap-
py Kids and see it in action.
Students shared how they
are using the 7 Habits in
their classrooms as well as
at home. They also shared their own learning goals
and how they keep track of what they are doing to
reach those goals. It was a great day for Maple Grove
to show how we are developing student leaders
through character and academic excellence.
Woodridge Middle School
Woodridge Middle School students showcased their
talents when it came to an anti-bullying audio chal-
lenge this spring. Students in
every Advisory class were pre-
sented with a challenge from Bo
Matthews of WIL 92.3 to create
an audio file that talked about
why bullying wasn’t cool. Stu-
dents first talked about what
bullying was and why it needs to
stop, before working together in
teams to create their audio files.The winning students
got to enjoy a fun day at Sunnyhill Adventure Camp in
Dittmer. Daisy Coffman, Destiny Stewart, Katelyn Binz
and Gloria Wieners won this year’s challenge.
Valley Middle School
The creative and caring sides of Valley Middle School
students were evident in
this year’s anti-bullying
audio challenge submis-
sions. Roughly 300 VMS
students shared their
thoughts and writings
with their Advisory class
teacher before creating audio files. Teachers and
staff here were blown away by the thought and time
that was put into creating these quality audio files.
The winning students from Valley Middle were Mor-
gan Skyles, Rebecca Lagermann, Cody Mooney and
Drew Fisher. They all got to spend a fun-filled day at
Sunnyhill Adventure Camp in Dittmer.
Northwest High School
This year’s Senior Citizens Prom at Northwest High
School was a huge
success! In its 5th year,
the event drew more
than 250 senior citi-
zens in our area out to
the high school cafete-
ria to enjoy dinner and
dancing at no charge. News of this event was shared
not only in our area, but around the globe on social
media websites. It’s something that both students
and senior citizens look forward to!

Student Spotlights
Uncertain Funding at State Level Continues to Burden the District
Over the past several years the Northwest School District has been plagued with revenue shortfalls from the
state funding formula. The picture is not much brighter for next year. Since the 2009-2010 fiscal year, the Missouri
state formula has been funded using a proration factor. Essentially, this is a percentage that is withheld from the Dis-
trict’s distribution of funds. Through this fiscal year we will have an estimated $6.7 million withheld from funding and
is anticipated to grow to $7.8 million by the end of next fiscal year.
The District has done a great job of managing expenditures in several ways. Examples include our elimination
of positions with the reduction in enrollment, the reduction of the maintenance budget with the passage of the
2014 Bond Issue, and overall thrifty spending. However, our employees have seen very little in salary increases over
the past several years. Our overall per pupil costs has also remained essentially flat, at about $11,000 per student.
This year we are planning to finish the fiscal year better than budgeted, with savings from our building im-
provements and transportation budgets.This accomplishment is due in part, to the successful passage of Proposition
LIONS, which allowed the District to begin updating facilities. In addition, we anticipate savings from our professional
development for staff, along with salary and benefit budgets due to leaves and absences.
Initially, we had predicted a $2.6 million deficit operating budget for next year. However, with the additional
tax cuts passed by the Missouri Legislature in the final moments of the session, this deficit may increase with the pos-
sible reduction of Proposition C Funding. All of these factors have led the District to begin discussions on possible
ways we can overcome the increased funding shortfalls expected from the state, which will most likely include a
ballot initiative requesting a tax levy increase. These conversations have already begun and will continue to involve
administrators, teachers, Board members and staff. As plans develop, we will expand and include parents and com-
munity members. The District’s hope is that with everyone working together, we will most certainly find a solution
that will not impact the quality education Northwest School District students currently receive.

Starting in the 2014-2015 school year,
the Northwest R-I School District will begin Late
Start Wednesdays. On those days, school will
start an hour later, giving teachers more time
to collaborate and improve their classroom in-
struction. Several districts in and around St.
Louis have seen increased student performance
after continued use of this designated teacher
collaboration time. A copy of the letter that was
sent home on the last day of school from Dr. Paul
Ziegler, Superintendent of Schools is on the Dis-
trict website, along with the updated school cal-
endar for the 2014-2015 school year.
It’s our hope that this information will
give you and your family ample time to prepare
for these changes in the coming school year. We
understand how busy our students, staff, par-
ents and community are and appreciate your
continued support of the Northwest School Dis-
trict as we work to find ways to continue build-
ing a strong academic environment for all our
students.

Alumni Spotlight
MakingadifferenceforpeoplehereinSt.
Louis and abroad has been the mission
for Northwest alumna Lynda Burgman
for as long as she can remember. In this
editionoftheNewssource,thisNHSgrad
talks about her time in the Northwest
School District and how it helped define her inspirational path.
YouwereinavarietyoforganizationsatNHS.Whatimpactdidthat
have on you? Involvement in extra-curricular activities enhanced
my education and gave me the confidence to be in front of large
crowds.
How did your education shape your future? Growing up in High
Ridge during the 1950’s and getting a quality education in the
Northwest R-I School District gave me a firm foundation for life.
I not only realized the importance of a good education, but the
paths it could lead you on. That philosophy is one I built upon
during my 30 years as the Senior Vice President for the YMCA of
Greater St. Louis and a consultant for several non-profit charities
in the area.
