Executive Summary Introduction Every school has its own story to tell. The context in which teaching and learning takes place influences the processes and procedures by which the school makes decisions around curriculum, instruction, and assessment. The context also impacts the way a school 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, and the kinds of programs and services that a school implements to support student learning. The purpose of the Executive Summary (ES) is to provide a school with an opportunity to describe in narrative form the strengths and challenges it encounters. By doing so, the public and members of the school community will have a more complete picture of how the school perceives itself and the process of self-reflection for continuous improvement. This summary is structured for the school to reflect on how it provides teaching and learning on a day to day basis. DRAFT Page 1
Executive Summary Description of the School Describe the school'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 serves? The Bullitt County ATC is located in Shepherdsville, Kentucky in Bullitt County. We are in a rural area of Kentucky, located 15 minutes from Louisville, Kentucky. There are 160 students which attend the Bullitt County ATC and these students come from three area schools; Bullitt Central, Bullitt East and North Bullitt. The community has many small and large businesses, with the large businesses being located by Interstate 65 to help with location and distribution. The major businesses in the community are warehousing businesses which specialize in distribution of products. The has been some change in the last few years, the population of the county is continuing to grow and new businesses are coming in to take advantage of the location to the Interstate and the UPS Hub in Louisville. The county is becoming more diverse, but the diversity of the county is very low, the county is predominately white. The staff at the school has changed considerably in the last three years, we have added two new programs and dropped an older outdated program. With the addition of the new programs, we have added five new teachers over the past three years. The staff is very inexperienced and is in the process of learning how to properly deliver instruction to students. DRAFT Page 2

Executive Summary Additional Information Provide any additional information you would like to share with the public and community that were not prompted in the previous sections. The Bullitt County ATC is working with the Bullitt County Public Schools in order to make sure all students are College or Ready as a graduation requirement starting with the graduating class of 2015. Because of this requirement, some of our school scores will drop. We will not be testing as many students for Work Keys starting this school year which will affect our Work Keys pass rate, but also may affect our Ready number of students for the school year. We strive to maintain up-to-date programs in the ATC, and we are currently working with Unions in Louisville to help place students into apprenticeships and well paying jobs during their senior year or after graduation.
