Task Force Recommendations

District must show fiscal responsibility and carefully consider reductions as enrollment declines• Public discussion as part of budget process• Impact on class sizes, MCS class sections, decrease in

number of special area classes, decrease in subject area sections at MA

• Explore distance learning; cooperative courses with IL, GWRSD; independent study; alternate year offerings

• Reduce staff by attrition, retirement incentives, job sharing within and without MSD, travel between MCS & MA

• Reduction in Force as last resort

What The Community Supports • Maintain and improve quality public

education• Keep program diversity• Do not change too much, too fast• Programs are more important than cost• 300+ attendees at meetings! School IS

important in our Community!

A unique opportunity to LEAD the conversation or be victims of the “new

normal”Looked closely at the number of sections we need in art, music,

physical education, and World Language in K-12 (Increased WL)Worked line by line in every budget area: athletic, buildings and

grounds, technology, and school buildings (Same process this year)

Looked closely and creatively at the schedule at MA1. Reorganize the 8 period day, alternate electives, class sign-ups

in January 2013 to allow for in-depth schedule work (PAWS Block)

2. Meet with Inter Lakes to look at AP offerings and distance learning potential (Agreement has produced student placement, shared ELL and plans for shared OT)

3. Redirect some MA staff to 21st Century Learning—Real World Design Challenge—STEM (Currently being taught)

4. Take our 10th grade students to tour the Regional Technology Center, meeting for parents and parent tour (Planned again)

Where We’ve Been & What We’ve Accomplished• World Language Committee• Focus on Academics – reading, language arts,

math, MCS schedule• Staff development, Summer Curriculum Institute,
