3 Introduction Every school system has its own story to tell. The context in which teaching and learning takes place influences the processes and procedures by which the school system makes decisions around curriculum, instruction, and assessment. The context also impacts the way a school system stays faithful to its vision. Many factors contribute to the overall narrative such as an identification of stakeholders, a description of stakeholder engagement, the trends and issues affecting the school system, and the kinds of programs and services that a school system implements to support student learning. <br><br> The purpose of the Executive Summary (ES) is to provide a school system with an opportunity to describe in narrative form the strengths and challenges it encounters. By doing so, the public and members of the community will have a more complete picture of how the school system perceives itself and the process of self-reflection for continuous improvement. This summary is structured for the school system to reflect on how it provides teaching and learning on a day to day basis. Page 1
4 Description of the School System Describe the school system's size, community/communities, location, and changes it has experienced in the last three years. Include demographic information about the students, staff, and community at large. What unique features and challenges are associated with the community/communities the school system serves? Putnam County is a rural county located in the northeastern section in the state of Florida. The county is centrally located between Jacksonville, Gainesville, St. Augustine, and Daytona Beach. As of the 2010 census, the population was 74,364. The most current population estimate from 2012 depicts a 1.5% decrease in population with the 2012 population estimate at 73,364. There has been less than a 1% difference in the racial composition of the district for White at 77.28% and African American at 17.04% according to census records from 2000 and The Hispanic or Latin of any race census record shows an increase from 5.92% to 9.02% in the 2010 census. The median household income is $34,429 compared to the state median income of $47, 309. The is a Title I District with a poverty range in schools from 97.92% %. The average poverty rate of our schools is 78.58%. The is the largest employer in Putnam County, employing 692 teachers and 957 support personnel for a total of 1,649 employees. The district has traditionally been geographically organized into three areas: Interlachen or West Putnam, Palatka, and Crescent City or South Putnam. Each of these areas is challenged with high poverty rates. In addition, the South Putnam area has a high percentage of students who enter school in need of English Language Acquisition. The district strives to create a united Putnam County and is making progress with district wide communication systems including Superintendent phone calls to all homes, the Parent Portal for student Information, the district web site and printed inserts in the local papers. The Putnam County School System is composed of eight traditional elementary schools, one K-3 elementary school, one 4-6 elementary school, one traditional middle school, one middle school with 7th and 8th grade students, one 6th grade center, two traditional high schools, one Jr/Sr high school and one Cambridge/AICE magnet for grades 7-9 and one ESE Center School. The district also contains one charter elementary school, one charter middle school, and a recently established charter high school, currently serving 9th grade students. The governing body of the is the Putnam County School Board. The five member Board is elected by voters residing in their district to serve a four year term. Terms are staggered to ensure that at least two members of the Board have experience serving after each election. The Putnam County School Board meets twice a month and meetings. The meetings are televised on a local cable channel and are available online from the district web site. The Superintendent of Schools for Putnam County is also an elected position. Phyllis Criswell was elected to the position of Superintendent of the in November of The previous Superintendent was originally elected in The district encourages community knowledge about school board proceedings by providing video presentations of Putnam County School Board meetings The is a member of the North East Educational Consortium (NEFEC).The Consortium is a regional, nonprofit, educational service agency established to provide cooperative services to member districts. The mission of the North East Florida Educational Consortium is to help member districts cooperatively meet their educational goals and objectives by providing programs and services that individual districts would not be able to provide as effectively or as economically when acting alone. The superintendents of member districts serve as the Board of Directors for the Consortium. They meet as a group each month with the Consortium staff for briefings and information. The Board sets policy, approves the budget, employs personnel, and provides direction by Page 2
5 guiding the development of programs and services furnished by the Consortium. The serves as the fiscal agent for NEFEC and the seated Superintendent of the serves as Chairman of the NEFEC Board of Directors. Changes in the The 's Superintendent, Phyllis Criswell, was elected in November As a result of this process, the leadership team in the district has changed dramatically. A focus on providing the best opportunities for our students and community has necessitated changes within the district. Superintendent Criswell made a promise to Putnam County stakeholders to provide opportunities for students who have the ability and desire to participate in a rigorous advanced curriculum and accelerated study method. After researching a variety of programs with a district team, the Cambridge/AICE program was selected to be offered in Putnam County. Q I Roberts, an underutilized Middle School, was selected as the site for what will grow into a 7-12 Cambridge/AICE high school. This school serves 7th & 8th traditional education and 9th grade Cambridge students. Each year an additional grade level will be added, with the first graduating class scheduled for June To meet the needs of elementary students desiring this level of advanced curriculum and accelerated study, a pilot Cambridge/AICE program was established at James A Long Elementary School which serves K-5 students. The district plans to enlarge the elementary program by offering Cambridge/AICE at Interlachen Elementary for the school year. The Middle School Cambridge program was initiated at Jenkins Middle School. This school previously served 6-8th grade students. Currently Jenkins serves 7th and 8th grade student in Cambridge/AICE and the traditional programs. The district also changed the name of Beasley Middle School and the grades served. Beasley Middle School was transformed into a 6th grade center and is now named C. L. Overturf, Jr. 6th Grade Center. This school also serves students in Cambridge/ AICE and the traditional program. The 6th grade center enabled the system to provide students an additional year of a more elementary approach before middle school. An additional benefit of this change was to enable the district to create a cohesive culture. Previously students entered Palatka High School as either Beasley or Jenkins' students. This change will help them enter as Palatka High students from day one. Page 3
6 System's Purpose Provide the school system's purpose statement and ancillary content such as mission, vision, values, and/or beliefs. Describe how the school system embodies its purpose through its program offerings and expectations for students. The 's current Strategic Plan states that we will focus our collective resources on Engagement, Safety and Performance (ESP). The district is committed to the following goals: - engaging parents, students, community members, teachers and administrators in the process of improving academic and behavioral outcomes in Putnam County Schools, - Educating all stakeholders in their roles for creating and maintaining a safe learning environment, - Improving student academic and behavioral outcomes leading to college and career readiness. - The has embodied its goal to engage parents, students, community members, teachers and administrators in the process of improving academic and behavioral outcomes in Putnam County Schools through the following practices: - Phyllis Criswell, the Superintendent of Schools, makes frequent phone call outs to all parents regarding the importance of being involved in their children's education. - Phyllis Criswell speaks at local community service clubs and other community organizations on an ongoing basis. - The district provides a Web Site with frequently updated photographs of school activities designed to improve student achievement. - Frequent celebrations of student achievements are held at the beginning of Board Meetings. - The district utilizes Title I funds to employ a Parent Involvement Coordinator.

Long, during the school year and will expand the program to Interlachen Elementary for the school year. - The district has transitioned from the election of the Superintendent of Schools in 2012, and the resulting change in top leadership positions in the district, with an acknowledgement and respect for the worth of individual employees, regardless of their political stance during the election. - The Putnam County School district was awarded a Federal Guidance Grant in 2012 for $730, to provide additional counseling and support to needy elementary students. The district calls this grants TOTS, which stands for Therapeutic Outreach to Students. This has enabled us to provide additional support to our students with emotional or behavioral needs. - In 2010 the was awarded a $7.3 million Teacher Incentive Fund Grant (TIF). This grant's purpose was to develop a system that would reward teachers for improved student performance. The district has administered this grant for 4 years and has received positive reviews from USDOE.A component of the grant was designed to increase teachers' knowledge of the standards. The grant enabled teachers to participate in ongoing professional development on the standards. The district was able to work effectively with the union, the AFT, and has made payouts to teachers from student results from and school years. - The district has utilized an automated call out system to keep stakeholders informed of the happenings in the district. The Superintendent and site based principals call parents and invite them to events at school and ask for support of projects. - The district has developed a Parent Portal where parents can check on their children's assignments, grades and communicate electronically with teachers. - The district has worked cooperatively with the state of Florida's District Accountability team to assist us with improving student academic achievement.

The district was utilizing a reading program and math program, Success for All, that did not have stakeholder "Buy In". Although the district continued to offer professional development on the implementation of the program from , with a considerable financial investment, student achievement in Reading and Math decreased. The current administration discontinued the programs and has worked to create teacher "buy in" to help with implementing our new Page 7
10 adoptions. - The district did not have a systems approach to developing future school leaders. Current district administration focused current site based administrators on the importance of "growing our own" and of offering teacher leaders opportunities to develop leadership skills within their current roles with the district providing a more structured pathway in Spring The is challenged with a lack of additional funding beyond the state allocated FTE. Many of the properties in Putnam County fall beneath the value that requires payment of real estate taxes which could support the school system. The district works to ameliorate this situation by actively pursuing grants that will support the educational opportunities in Putnam County. - The district is challenged by fiscal issues to be able to provide sufficient technology services to all schools. The district is striving to improve academic achievement in all areas with the goal of preparing all students to be career and/or post secondary ready. - We have begun by initiating a system for adoption of a core curriculum in Reading/ELA. A district team met, studied the state adopted curriculums and was tasked with the assignment of selecting the most appropriate program for our students.
