Title I, Part A - Improving Basic Programs Operated by the Local Education Agency (LEA)2016-17 Allocation: $2,530,035

Title I, Part A is part of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act of 1965 (ESEA), and is the foundation formerly known as No Child Left Behind. Title I funding is supplemental and is used to help schools with high concentrations of students from low-income families. Programs must use effective methods and instructional strategies that are grounded in scientifically-based research and ensure that all children have a fair, equal, and significant opportunity to obtain a high-quality education and reach, at a minimum, proficiency on challenging state academic achievement standards and state academic assessments. Longview ISD uses Title I funds on the following six elementary campuses that are designated as school-wide, which allow the supplemental resources to upgrade the entire educational program of these schools:

· Bramlette Elementary · J. L. Everhart Elementary · Johnston-McQueen Elementary

· South Ward Elementary · Ware Elementary · Ned E. Williams Elementary Funding provides approximately 33 supplemental staff positions on these campuses, as well as five district-wide instructional specialists in Reading/ELA, Math and Science. Title I monies are also used for:

● professional development and consultants for increased teacher learning and support;● enhancing parent involvement;● extended learning time for students, such as tutorial and summer school programs;● Pre-K training; ● equitable services for private schools in LISD;● supplemental supplies and materials for Title I campuses; and,● other activities designed to enable every student to succeed at the highest levels of performance. 55

Title I, Part D - Prevention and Intervention Programs for Children and Youth Who Are Neglected, Delinquent or At Risk2016-17 Allocation: $33,376 The goals of Title I, Part D, are to: (1) improve educational services for these children so they have the opportunity to meet challenging State academic content and achievement standards; (2) provide them with services to successfully transition from institutionalization to further schooling or employment; and (3) prevent youth who are at-risk from dropping out of school, and to provide dropouts and children and youth returning from correctional facilities with a support system to ensure their continued education. Funding is used to support supplemental instruction in core subject areas such as reading and math, as well as tutoring, counseling, transition services, technology, supplies and materials, and professional development for teachers at the Gregg County JDC facility.

Title II, Part A - Teacher and Principal Training and Recruiting Fund2016-17 Allocation: $476,012 Title II, Part A dollars provide supplemental funding to improve student achievement. The funds are used to elevate teacher and principal quality through recruitment, hiring and retention strategies, and to increase the number of highly qualified teachers in the classroom and highly qualified principals and assistant principals in schools. The program uses scientifically based professional development interventions and holds districts and schools accountable for improvements in student academic performance. Title II provides funding for a large portion of LISD professional development and services.

56

Title III, Part A - Language Instruction for Limited English Proficient and Immigrant Students2016-17 Allocation (LEP): $174,3972016-17 Allocation (Immigrant): $14,852

Title III, Part A provides supplemental resources to local education agencies to help ensure that children who are limited English proficient attain English proficiency at high levels in core academic subjects to meet state mandated achievement performance standards. Title III funds are used to supplement bilingual education at LISD through some of the following: ❖ reading and writing instructional coaching;

❖ professional development, such as Sheltered Instruction (SIOP) and Dual Language learning;

❖ technology supplies and materials (eBooks, instructional software); and,

❖ increased parent training such as Family Literacy, Parent Education nights, and Parenting Partners. State Compensatory Education (SCE) $3,298,193 direct costs State Compensatory Education consists of programs and/or services designed to supplement the regular education program for students identified as at risk of dropping out of school. The majority of SCE funds are used for supplemental salaries—the 2016-17 program is currently funding, in whole or in part, approximately 121 positions, including extended day Pre-K—with additional funding for reading intervention programs, credit recovery programs, technology, tutorials, and summer intervention programs for at-risk students.

94

Objective 6

Enhancing Employee Benefit Opportunities

95

6.1: Playing for KEEPS Early Childhood Center (PFK) is critical in the recruitment and retention of staff since many of our teachers place their children in the center. Having a district day care is very good recruitment tool when we are visiting with candidates for employment. The care is high quality and very competitive with the private daycare centers in the area. Payroll deductions help ease the financial burden on teachers and staff.

Seven years ago, we started this program and today enrollment numbers are shown below:

Playing for KEEPS Statistical Information for 2016-2017

➢ 29 Employees have children who attend Playing for KEEPS; totaling 34 children

➢ Pre-K 4 class has 13 children; 12 of them are employees’ children

➢ Total average monthly income from employees--$7,000.00

➢ Children of Longview High School students and Longview Early Graduation High School students attend free (3 currently enrolled)

 

96

6.1: Rising Star Designation Achieved in July 2016

Rising Star status lets the parents know that PFK, ECC goes above and beyond State minimum standards for the education program.

Additional funds are sometimes available and can be used for the following purposes:

● Provide resources for the centers that are 4 Star centers● Provide free training● Provide online assessment opportunities● Provide higher reimbursement rates

97

Objective 7

Objective 9

Comprehensive Salary Study

102

9.1: The district engaged TASB to conduct a salary study of the auxiliary, paraprofessional, and professional compensation plan in 2010. At that time, the recommendation was to revise the compensation plan because the district no longer had a completive salary plan. The recommendation was not approved due to the impact on the current budget. We have presented information twice since 2010 requesting to improve the compensation plan and even today, we extend the request again.

Increasingly, we are having difficulty in attracting employees to the district due to our salary structure. Specifically, we are having challenges in the areas cited below.
