3. Proposed Changes in FY2008 Summary Results of the Superintendent's Performance Objectives
   Motions:
   

   I recommend the number of reporting adjustments in the FY2008 Summary Results of the Superintendent's Performance Objectives.	-	0
   Minutes: Proposed Changes Format of Reported Data 1. Percent meeting standard during current year will be used instead of change from prior year (e.g., 2%). 2. Percent difference between the two groups will be reported instead of the change in the gap from prior year (e.g., -2.5%). 3. Substantial Progress will replace Making State Learning Gaines. The standard will measure the percent of students who have been level 1 or 2 in reading and mathematics for two years but have made substantial progress toward achieving Level 3 or higher (i.e., proficient). Data Reported 1. Additional Levels will be reported in FCAT SSS Reading, Mathematics, and Science. 2. FCAT SSS Science results will be reported. 3. Additional scores will be reported in FCAT Writing. 4. Whenever available, the analysis in the text report will include a comparison of District results to those of the three large, demographically similar districts in Florida (i.e., Broward, Hillsborough, and Orange). Cell Color and Participation Rate 1. Cells will be colored grey only when statistically positive gain from the prior year occurred but the participation rate increased statistically. 2. A cell will be colored yellow when the participation rate declined or increased statistically but the change in the percent of students making the standard was not statistically significant. 3. A cell will be colored red when the participation rate declined statistically and the change in the percent of students making the standard declined statistically. 4. A cell will be colored green when the participation rate increased statistically and the change in the percent of students making the standard increased statistically. Changes in Reporting Terminology 1. Acronym ELL (English Language Learner) will be used instead of LEP (limited English proficient) to reflect current state and national practice. 2. The term statistically will replace the term significantly. Dr. Robinson requested the definition of substantial progress and questioned why AYP was not used in this process. Marc Baron entertained questions from Board Members regarding the highest performing sub-groups. Dr. Richmond questioned what is being done regarding calculations for ESE students who have alternative assessments. Dr. Baron explained that there is a separate report to see how those students have performed as reported to the state. Dr. Richmond stated that the chart should include these students. Board Members were in consensus to adding Asian students as a sub group. Mrs. Burdick questioned if any other groups are being left out. Dr. Benaim requested statistics on the make up of the sub groups. Mrs. Burdick requested any relative budget information.
