Executive Summary
The Riverview Gardens School District Comprehensive School Improvement Plan (CSIP) for
2012‐ 2017 was approved by the Special Administrative Board in June 2012. The plan
undergoes an annual review process to ensure that it remains current and focused on the
educational mission of the district. The plan includes the following five Goal Areas: Student
Performance, Highly Qualified, Parent Involvement, Finance and Facilities, and Governance.
Included in this report are the summaries for each Goal Area, which outline the various
objectives, strategies and action steps that have been developed and implemented. In addition
to the summaries, the Riverview Gardens CSIP Scorecard is also available to give an at‐glance
overview of the status ratings of each Goal Area. The objectives and strategies are rated by a
scale score range of 1 to 5 to identify level of implementation (Likert Scale Key). The CSIP
Scorecard provides additional information related to each objective and strategies such as: start
date, date completed, percentage met, person responsible, barriers and comments. The
Riverview Gardens CSIP status reports are prepared twice a year and are posted online for
public information on the district’s website, at: www.rgsd.k12.mo.us . Objectives will be
monitored and ratings/scale scores will be adjusted to represent current status for the bi‐
annual reporting schedule. Hyperlinks to the district’s Pulse System will be included in the
Scorecard to allow quick access to pertinent data to support progress in meeting objectives. A
continuous monitoring and evaluation process will be documented by each goal leader by using
a three year accountability plan.
Goal Area 1: Student Performance
Implementing changes in curriculum programming for literacy has been the most
important effort under the Student Performance Goal. This was in response to student
data that indicates that on average more than 60% of K‐12 students are reading below
grade level. Literacy has been embedded throughout the curriculum because “Literacy
is our Leverage” to achieving academic excellence. The district is in the process of
crafting a new District Literacy Plan. This plan will articulate expectations for a systemic
instructional approach for integrating literacy across the curriculum. The goal is to
facilitate excellence in teacher practices that will lead to excellence in student
achievement. Stakeholders were involved from the start, beginning with the new K‐12
English Language Arts (ELA) textbook adoption process which transitioned us to the
Balanced Literacy approach for grades K‐5. Classroom libraries have been enhanced and
building bookrooms have been created to give students greater access to a variety of
complex text and more nonfiction text. During SY 2012‐13, over 8,000 (leveled text)
books were purchased for elementary schools. Our focus continues to be on the “3‐Vs”
CSIP End‐of‐the‐Year Report p.6
‐ to increase: Valued time for reading; Variety of reading; and the Volume of reading.
This focus is transforming of our schools to exemplify a culture of literacy. The recent
work from the Writing Cadre resulted in a K‐12 Writing Framework that articulates the
expectations and supports for explicit writing instruction. A more balanced system of
assessment (e.g., screening, progress monitoring, formative, benchmark and summative
assessments) is in place to provide more accurate student data to better respond to
individual needs. SY 2012‐13 was year‐one implementation of the new English
Language Arts (ELA) program. In addition, staff has been trained in the effective use of
supplemental/intervention programs and tools to support students’ progress in reading
comprehension such as: Read 180; System 44 and Leveled Literacy K‐2. The district’s
professional development plan for SY 2013‐14 has been developed to guide and support
teachers in intentional practices that will foster students’ use of critical thinking and
communication skills across the curriculum, which are aligned to the expectations of
Common Core State Standards.
Goal Area 2: Highly Qualified
The Highly Qualified (HQ) Team worked diligently to ensure all RGSD staff met the
definition of “highly qualified” for their position and to develop, implement, and
evaluate an employee performance evaluation system. For SY13‐14 all newly hired
teachers met the Department of Elementary and Secondary Education (DESE) definition
of highly qualified teacher. The use of School Recruiter, the District applicant tracking
system, has helped to insure that all new hires are designated “highly qualified”. The
Human Resource (HR) department also ensures the accuracy of this information by
verifying it via the DESE website prior to extending an offer of employment. This work
impacts the Missouri School Improvement Program (MSIP) 5 requirement R‐10 –
Certification and Licensure. RGSD participated in the pilot program for the new
Missouri (MO) Evaluation tool for teachers and the HQ Team progressed in developing
feedback from the pilot program. Barriers to progress in increasing teacher retention
include the uncertainty of the district’s future, and this barrier in turn creates difficulty
in recruiting and retaining staff. New leadership team members at the district and
building levels are creating a more positive work environment, and staff retention has
increased to 88% between SY12‐13 and SY13‐14. In order to increase overall job
satisfaction, the HQ Team has a goal to develop, implement, and evaluate policies and
processes that provide compensation and benefits. At this time this goal is only 25%
met, as there are two barriers to progress; a Request for Proposal (RFP) for services
associated with a comprehensive compensation study and acquisition of a survey
CSIP End‐of‐the‐Year Report p.7
instrument to measure progress of overall job satisfaction is necessary to meet this goal.
Next steps include the continued development of a plan to implement the new state
educator evaluation model with objective criteria and focus on student achievement as
the primary theory of action. In order to move forward with the goal of improving
compensation and benefits, an RFP for a compensation study must be issued and an
employee satisfaction study must be done.
Goal Area 3: Finance and Facilities
The first objective entails determining the amount of resources needed on an annual
basis, prioritizing needs, committing funds and establishing Key Performance Indicators
(KPIs) to measure performance. The various divisions have developed their respective
KPIs. Multi‐year plans are currently being developed to identify a systematic plan for
allocating resources in the areas determined to be critical and necessary for meeting the
District’s expectations. While the District enjoys a healthy fund balance, projections
reflect accelerated declines in the reserves over the next several years. A stringent
budget plan reducing the spending level and right‐sizing the District is critical over the
upcoming years will be initiated to mitigate this potential crisis. A minimum operating
fund balance of 15% has been approved by the Special Administrative Board (SAB) to
identify the reserve amount needed to provide financial stability and contingencies.
The second objective is focused on providing safe, clean, healthy environments with
functional services, which are conducive to teaching and learning. Based on KPI data
used to assess and measure the condition and quality of service, progress has been
shown. However, improvement is still needed in many areas. Additionally, KPIs for
several areas are being constructed and will be available soon. Staff will be required to
monitor and evaluate performance targets on a quarterly basis.
Goal Area 4: Parent and Community Involvement
The Parent and Community Involvement Team is able to report successes for the 2012‐13 school year. The district has developed on‐going, system wide strategies to communicate with stakeholders, identified available resources and increased the number of District volunteers. However, true involvement must allow for meaningful two‐way communication, full partnership in educating children, identifying/supporting/utilizing community resources and serving on advisory committees within the district. As a district, we must increase our outreach within the surrounding community. Parent, family and community involvement in education correlates with high academic, performance and school improvement. When
CSIP End‐of‐the‐Year Report p.8
stakeholders work together to provide support and resources, students can succeed in school and life. There are five key components required to make a positive impact:
Effective communications Decision Making
Participation/Volunteering Community Collaboration
Learning Partnerships
While we have made strides in this area, there is a great need to examine and refocus
our efforts to ensure the interactions are meaningful, based on identified needs and
strengths of the district and lead directly to academic, social and life achievement. Our
goal for this upcoming year is to provide roles in the decision making processes, develop
a culture of participation, responsibility and ownership at the school and district level.
Goal Area 5: Governance and Administration
The Governance and Administration Team worked to provide several recommendations
to the Superintendent of Schools. The key recommendation included a revised
organizational chart and leadership structure, a building level organizational chart for
secondary and elementary schools. The final step in this process will include minor
revisions to current job descriptions for consistency, and the inclusion of reporting
responsibilities. A list of all instructional programs used in the District was gathered into
one document. This initiative provided administration a complete list of instructional
programs to be used to determine program effectiveness, appropriate use of financial
resources, and ultimately how a particular program supports academic achievement. In
addition to identifying the programs, a final component included determining program
effectiveness. A recommendation to revise Board Policy IM – Evaluation of Programs
was presented and approved by the SAB; a recommendation for has been submitted to
the superintendent for consideration and implementation. Compliance with Policy IM
will ensure programs are evaluated for effectiveness towards obtaining student
achievement. A review of the previous year’s ASBR report was conducted and did not
show the District as financially distressed. However, Board Policy DIAA – Fund
Balances/GASB 54 did not include language to maintain a fund balance goal. A
recommendation to revise Policy DIAA to include a 15% fund balance was presented by
the Chief Financial Officer (CFO) and approved by the SAB on July 7, 2013. Lastly, a list
of DESE Statutory Guidelines was compiled and will be used by the District auditor for
compliance monitoring and to aid in the development of an annual Audit Plan.

During each Goal Team monthly meeting, the owner of each Action Step provides a simple,
single digit statement of progress, using the following scale:
5‐ The Action Step has already been accomplished, and the Plan‐identified completion evidence
is available.
4‐ The Action Step has been implemented, and progress ahead of the schedule identified in the
Plan timeline.
3‐ The Action Step has been implemented, and is progressing along the Plan‐identified timeline.
2‐ The Action Step is being implemented, but there is a barrier(s) to progress that must be
removed if the Action Step is to be accomplished with the Plan identified timeline.
1‐ The Action Step cannot be implemented due to a significant barrier(s) to progress.
* – The Action Step does not fall in the timeframe for consideration or action at this time.
CSIP End‐of‐the‐Year Report p.10
Goal Area Summaries
Goal 1: Student Performance Develop and enhance quality educational/instructional programs to improve performance results and enable students to meet their personal, academic and career goals.
The Student Performance Goal consists of two objectives:
Objective 1.1 All district content area MAP Scores will increase as measured by the
Years 2 and 3 Average Progress Target, determined by the Missouri Performance Index Gap
and the multiplier of 3 percent. The strategies are to develop, implement and evaluate: a
rigorous curriculum, a research‐based instructional system and an effective assessment
program. (Likert Score: 3)
STRENGTHS
Curriculum development and revision work has continued and all core content areas units are
available in Build Your Own Curriculum, the district’s online management tool. School Year (SY)
2012‐13 started the work of the Related Arts curriculum units. The district also began the
process of aligning curriculum to common core state standards (CCSS). Progress has been
made in aligning programs and materials to CCSS with the recent K‐12 textbook adoptions for
English Language Arts and Mathematics. The implementation of the Balanced Literacy
approach for grades K‐5 has aligned developmentally appropriate curriculum with evidence‐
based literacy instruction. A K‐12 Writing Framework has been developed to include K‐12
common summative assessments which will be administered in SY 2013‐14. This framework
outlines the expected writing types for each grade aligned to the common core standards. The
District’s Assessment System has been enhanced to include the Fountas and Pinnell Reading
Assessment to align students’ reading ability to leveled text that is appropriate for instruction.
This addition to the current system of Scholastic Reading Inventory (SRI) and Discovery
Education Assessment (DEA) will help to better identify and support specific reading skills to
improve students’ reading comprehension.
OPPORTUNITIES AND NEXT STEPS Continued support is planned to provide staff with quality professional development aligned to
the following district foci: Literacy, Effective Instructional Practices and Data‐Driven
CSIP End‐of‐the‐Year Report p.11
Interventions and Supports. Ongoing training for a systematic approach for literacy instruction
will be provided by embedded modeling and coaching through the Missouri Reading Initiative.
By the end of October, 2013 a district literacy plan will be developed to ensure consistent and
coherent use of data to inform direct and explicit literacy instruction in grades PreK to 12. A
more effective approach for monitoring and supporting instructional practices will be
implemented to include more classroom observations aligned to common targets of “Look
Fors”. The first District Walkthrough under this new “Team” approach will start in October,
2013. The Staff Mapping process that matches capacity with supports will be monitored and
analyzed by all building and district administrators and will guide all staff in developing and
monitoring their Professional Growth Plans.
The current challenge is the alignment of common core state standards to curriculum and
instructional materials to assessments. Essential Learning Targets (ELTs) representing the scope
and sequence of the CCSS for each grade level are developed and are being revised to
accurately align to curriculum, instructional materials and assessments.
Objective 1.2 Increase Graduation Rate Progress by increasing the baseline Average of Years 1 and 2 by 4 percent annually. The strategies are to develop, implement and evaluate: a
Professional Learning Community (PLC) ‐ instructional management system that includes the
use of Data Teams; an effective Response to Intervention (RtI) program ‐ an integrated
guidance and counseling program; and a K‐12 Positive Behavior Interventions and Supports
(PBIS) program. (Likert Score: 3)
STRENGTHS
Grade‐Level Data and Course Level Teams continue to collaborate to analyze data, create
common classroom assessments, plan instruction and identify appropriate interventions to
meet individual student needs. Staff training is ongoing and each building has a PLC Coach
through Cooperating School District (CSD) to monitor and support the implementation process.
The recent addition to our Student Information System (SIS) will support effective
implementation of a district‐wide Response to Intervention process. This system will support a
common process for: identifying students in need of interventions, aligning appropriate
support, recording and monitoring growth and reporting progress by individual, intervention
groups and schools. The district has continued to focus on data related to the top three
indicators: academics, attendance and behavior. Building administrators continue to use
behavioral data reported in Pulse and the Special School District’s (SSD) Big Five Generator to
plan interventions and supports. Building administrators will continue to receive annual
CSIP End‐of‐the‐Year Report p.12
feedback regarding progress in the implementation of PBIS from SSD using the School‐wide
Evaluation Tool (SET).
OPPORTUNITIES AND NEXT STEPS
District‐wide implementation of a tiered system of instruction in which high‐quality instruction
will be provided to address an identified area of need for students. Academic targets will be set
and students’ performance to specific instruction will be measured using frequent progress
monitoring to guide changes in instruction and/or intervention supports. Training on this
system will begin September, 2013 for all administrators and staff. The common challenge
across objectives and strategies is establishing an effective system for monitoring and
evaluating implementation of programs and practices. The most recent work has been around
improving communications of expectations, developing accountability measures for effective
implementation and providing supports toward improving teaching and learning. Staff will
continue to receive ongoing training on effective implementation of the Data Team process.
Starting SY 2013‐14, district leaders have been assigned to each school to provide guidance and
support to administrators and staff.
MSIP 5 IMPACT
Annual Performance Report (APR) Scoring Guide
Missouri Top 10 by 20 Plan holds as a primary goal that all students will graduate high school,
college and career‐ready. The APR score is used to determine the district’s level of
accreditation: Accredited with Distinction, Accredited, Provisional and Unaccredited.
Accreditation Levels Percent of Points Earned;
Accredited with Distinction The district earned a minimum of 90% (126 points) or more of the APR
points possible AND meets other criteria as established by the State Board
of Education;
Accredited The district earned 70% (98 points) or more of the APR points possible;
Provisionally Accredited The district earned 50% (70‐97 points) or more of the APR points possible;

of four (4) achievement levels (Below Basic, Basic, Proficient and Advance) that describe a
pathway to proficiency. The MPI is a single composite number that represents the MAP
assessment performance of every student by awarding points to each student based on the four
achievement levels. The points for all students in the district, school or student group in a
subject area are summed together, divided by the number of students in the groups being
measured and then multiplied by 100 rounded to the tenth. All assessment results from a single
accountability year and for a single subject/content area are combined when generating the
distsrict, school or student group MPI.

Missouri’s Goal ‐ Top 10 By 20
Status is a measurement of the school’s or district’s level of achievement based upon a three
year average of MAP performance Index (MPI). The MPI is used to determine whether the
district, school, or subgroup is meeting the 2020 target, is on track, is approaching or is
substantially not meeting (floor) the academic achievement target for English Language Arts,
Mathematics, Science, and Social Students MAP assessments.
2020 Target – represents a level of performance approximately equivalent to the
projected 20202 performance of the top 10 states on the corresponding National
Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP) exam.
On Track – represents levels of increasing performance expectations with a goal of 75%
proficient by the year 2020 – if Basic achievement worth 300 points and Proficient
achievement is worth 400 points, an MPI of 375 would result from 75% of students
scoring at Proficient and 25% scoring at Basic. Current performance is compared to this
target, than a linear trajectory is created that requires equal annual progress increments
to reach the 20202 target.
Approaching – represents a level of performance equals to 100% Basic if each score at
the Basic level yields 300 points.
CSIP End‐of‐the‐Year Report p.15
Floor – represents a level of performance less than 100% Basic if each score at the Basic
level yields 300 points.
Based on the data presented above, the district is at “Floor” status in all assessed content areas.
However, the district earned 6 points or 10.7% of the Academic Achievement points and 2
points or 14.3% of the Subgroup achievement points.
The APR score is used to measure the district’s progress. This overall score is comprised of
scores for each of the MSIP 5 Performance Standards (1) Academic Achievement (2) Subgroup
Achievement (3) Graduation Rate (4) College and Career Readiness (5) Attendance Rate.
Academic Achievement and Subgroup Achievement
Literacy is our leverage and district comparative data from SY 2011‐12 to SY 2012‐13 shows a six percent increase of students reading at or above grade level as measured by Scholastic Reading Inventory (SRI). Kindergarten thru second grade has transitioned to align Common Core State Standards (CCSS) on the district’s benchmark assessment, Discovery Educational Assessment (DEA). While CCSS are more rigorous, DEA data for K‐2 shows an increase of twenty percent of student scoring at the proficient level. Middle school DEA scores show an increase in the percent of students scoring at the proficient level for English Language Arts. The student performance results from the district’s local assessments drives instruction and interventions to prepare students for the state MAP Assessments. The chart below represents MAP trend data.

2.0 Highly Qualified Staff
Goal Area: Recruit, attract, develop and retain highly qualified staff to carry out the District’s mission and enhance its culture.
Objective 2.1 All RGSD staff meets the definition of “highly qualified” for their
position and receives satisfactory or better performance ratings. Every year 100% of RGSD
core staff will meet the “highly qualified” definition on the DESE highly qualified teacher
(HQT) report. RGSD will demonstrate improvement in retention from baseline data of 77% in
SY 2010‐2011 to 90% by 2015 by a 4.5% increase each year. The strategies are to develop,
implement and evaluate an employee performance evaluation system that provides employees
with timely feedback for skill enhancement, assures District performance standards are met
and verifies that employee actions are consistent with District values and policies and recruit,
attract, and retain “highly qualified” core staff. (Likert Score: 3)
STRENGTHS
The 2012‐13 school year saw the District participate in a pilot program testing a new educator
evaluation system which ties teacher growth to student growth. Principals from selected
schools were trained to use the new instrument and solicited several teachers willing to
participate in the trial. A committee was formed at the start of the 2013‐14 School Year to seek
approval to expand the trial and prepare for full implementation in the 2014‐15 school year.
The principals who participated in last years’ trial are serving on the committee and are
knowledgeable and enthusiastic about the process.
Teacher recruitment and selection has been focused towards those who are “highly qualified”
in their respective areas. The Human Resources Department has attended teacher fairs and
made contact with area colleges and universities in an effort to attract highly qualified
graduates. All (100%) of the new teachers hired for the 2013‐14 school year meet the DESE
definition of “high qualified”. An additional strength includes the use of School Recruiter, the
district’s applicant tracking system, which helps to screen applicants for proper certification
qualifications. The HR department also ensures the accuracy of this information by verifying it
via the DESE website prior to extending an offer of employment.
OPPORTUNITIES AND NEXT STEPS
Training on the new evaluator tool is offered through Cooperating School Districts (CSD). All
principals have been provided with the dates for the four training sessions and instructions for
CSIP End‐of‐the‐Year Report p.22
registering. Paul Katnik is available to provide training to principals in the District. Training will
continue throughout this school year. Next steps include planning to introduce the new system
to teachers.
Teacher recruitment efforts for the 2013‐14 school year will include a district teacher fair and
continued participation in college fairs in the area.

Objective 2.2 RGSD is an employer of choice that develops, implements, and
evaluates processes to build a positive, constructive and productive employee culture. RGSD
will demonstrate improvement in retention from baseline data of 77% in SY 2010‐2011 to
90% by 2015 by a 4.5% increase each year. RGSD will improve the overall job satisfaction
survey results by 2.5% each year from 68% agree/strongly agree in SY 2011‐2012 to 75.5% in
SY 2014‐2015. Strategies include the review of current salary scales and the commissioning of a
compensation study to determine the adequacy and competitiveness of our compensation.
Human Resources and Finance will collaborate to review the district benefits package to
determine its’ competitiveness. Human Resources Department will conduct a job satisfaction
survey. (Likert Score: 1.5)
STRENGTHS
The District has improved its retention rate from a baseline of 77% in SY10‐11 to 88% in
SY12‐13.
OPPORTUNITIES AND NEXT STEPS
Human Resources will acquire, administer and evaluate a job satisfaction survey during the
2013‐14 school year. A great challenge is the need for a Request For Proposal (RFP) for a
compensation study to be done.
CSIP End‐of‐the‐Year Report p.23
3.0 Facilities, Support and Instructional Resources
Goal Area: Provide and maintain appropriate instructional resources, support services, and functional and safe facilities.
There are two major objectives, which were identified as needed to accomplish this goal.
Objective 3.1 RGSD will provide high quality, fiscally responsible support services for all District operations, first determining the amount of financial support needed annually for
these operations, and then ensuring these resources are committed accordingly. To
accomplish this objective, RGSD will establish key performance indicators (KPIs) to measure
this performance, which will include measures for its facilities, technology, food service,
transportation, finance/business services and security operations. These performance
measures will be evaluated (at least) quarterly to determine if the District is on track in
meeting its performance targets.
STRENGTHS
As a result of effective financial management, the District has maintained a positive fund
balance and cash flow. All divisions have developed their respective KPIs to measure
performance. Multi‐year plans are currently being developed to identify a systematic approach
for allocating resources in the areas determined to be critical and necessary for meeting the
District’s expectations. A minimum operating fund balance of 15% has been approved by the
SAB to identify the reserve amount needed to provide financial stability and contingencies.
OPPORTUNITIES AND NEXT STEPS
While the District enjoys a healthy fund balance, projections reflect accelerated declines in the
reserves over the next several years. A stringent budget plan reducing the spending level and
right‐sizing the District is critical over the upcoming years to mitigate this potential financial
crisis. In addition, internal and external support will be needed to develop a multi‐year plan
aligned to instructional/operational needs while maintaining fiscal integrity.
MSIP 5 STANDARD
G‐8
CSIP End‐of‐the‐Year Report p.24
Objective 3.2 RGSD will provide safe, clean, healthy environments and functional
services conducive to teaching and learning, working with academic and support
administration to ensure these services meet District expectations annually. This objective
will focus on all operational support services, including technology, facilities, food service,
transportation and safety, with a goal of meeting a 97% pre‐determined quality satisfaction
level for all of these functions.
STRENGTHS
Based on KPI data used to assess the condition and quality of service, progress has been shown
in all operational areas. It should be noted that the Safety & Security division is adequately
equipped with surveillance equipment in many of the District schools and buildings; the
Facilities division has significantly improved response time for repairs; the Food Service division
is in full compliance in providing nutritional balanced meals; the Transportation division has
implemented procedures, which have resulted in improved services for our students; and the
Technology division has done an excellent job in obtaining E‐rate funding for
Telecommunications, Internet, maintenance and network related services.
OPPORTUNITIES AND NEXT STEPS
Some of the challenges still facing the operation team are retaining highly qualified bus drivers
and reducing bus incidents; securing staff and resources to address the capital needs of the
District; and the need to identify resources for the Technology Division to be used in improving
the infrastructure, upgrade software and computers. Many of these challenges can be resolved
by developing and implementing multi‐year facilities and financial plans, which allocate
adequate resources in these targeted areas.

Goal Area: Promote, facilitate and enhance student, family and
community involvement in the District’s educational programs.
Objective: 4.1 Implement a plan to inform parents and the public of District
programming and services four times a year. (Rating Overall: 4)
STRENGTHS
Each school location has completed a Parental Involvement Binder documenting activities, agendas and attendance through sign in sheets. Dr. Lynn Beckwith, Jr., Special Administrative Board Chair, hosts Community Advisory Council (CAC) meetings quarterly which provide district‐wide instructional and business updates to key stakeholders in the community. The Parent Advisory Council (PAC) meets monthly and elected members determine the agenda and focus. Parent Teacher Organization (PTO) dates for each school are included on the school’s monthly calendars provided to parents. Automated calls to parents, flyers, posters and eblasts help inform parents of upcoming event dates. Special Administrative Board meetings are promoted on school calendars, posted on all building doors and on the District website. Updates of all actions are included in the Board ReVIEW publication which is available at board meetings and sent to each school and to several city administrative buildings in the area. Board ReVIEW newsletters will be sent home via student’s backpack in the 2013‐2014 school year. The number of volunteer applications rose from 201 in the 2011‐12 school year to 329 applications in the 2012‐13 school year. Volunteer forms can be found in all schools and on the district website.
OPPORTUNITIES AND NEXT STEPS The District will create parent surveys to obtain information from parents including:
1. Level of participation 2. Understanding of impact to student achievement of overall district functions 3. Level of decision‐making participation 4. Additional resources needed
The District will establish and reevaluate current systems of communication that will ensure that all information about policies, procedures and expectations are available to parents.

STRENGTHS
The Office of Communications (OOC) has expanded outreach into the community by attending fairs, city council meetings, neighborhood association meetings and organizational events. District materials are distributed and any community questions or concerns are immediately received and subsequently addressed. Information is forwarded to the appropriate department or school and a follow‐up email or call is completed by the OOC within one week. Students and families participate in over 20 community partnerships such as Boy Scouts, Youth in Need, Preferred Family Health, CHADS, BJC and ARCHS. Participation in these programs is increasing as student needs are specifically identified. The Title 1 Preschool Classroom was established and due to overwhelming parent response, a second class will be added for the 2013‐2014 school year. The Early Childhood programs and Title I preschool class is promoted through traditional channels as well as through Parents as Teachers allows staff to visit homes and promote partnerships with other pre‐school providers. RGSD provides screenings and at those locations for eligible students.
OPPORTUNITIES AND NEXT STEPS

Parents receive information annually which promotes the use of District technological resources and usage agreements.
The District webpage showcases events and activities.
CONCERNS
School webpages require continuous up‐to‐date information; however webmaster duties were not clearly defined.
Population movement and declining homeownership presented financial challenges to mass mailings to community as a large amount of mail is consistently returned to District. Community businesses, non‐profit organizations and city administrative buildings were asked to retain a district newsstand to promote information in 2013‐2014. District newsletter will be distributed by backpack and at business partnership locations in 2013‐2014 rather than mailing.

5.0 Governance and Administration
Goal Area: Govern the District in an efficient and effective manner, providing leadership and representation to benefit students, staff and patrons.
Governance and Administration consists of five objectives:
Objective 5.1 The superintendent will develop, implement, and evaluate an
organizational structure that promotes the success of the mission and the attainment of its vision as measured by 80% confidence interval on stakeholder surveys. (Likert Score: 4)
STRENGTHS
As a key initiative, the superintendent is charged with the development of an organizational
structure that describes functions, accountability and reporting that promote all employees
working together to accomplish the District’s vision and mission. The initiative includes a
periodic review of the District’s grade level organizational structure for alignment with the
overall goal of student achievement. The Governance Team researched academically
accredited school districts’ organizational charts and reporting structures for guidance in the
development of an organizational structure suitable for the culture of the Riverview Gardens
School District.
Model job descriptions were forwarded to the Human Resources (HR) Department with a
recommendation to streamline current district job descriptions for consistency in formatting
and the inclusion of reporting responsibilities. Revised job descriptions are expected for the
2013‐2014 school year.
OPPORTUNITIES AND NEXT STEPS
Model building and school level organizational charts were submitted to HR for review and
expected follow‐up and feedback from building level principals by September 30, 2013. The
recommended building level organizational charts were reviewed by the executive director of
leadership and accountability. The final step in this process will include minor revisions to
current job descriptions for consistency, and the inclusion of reporting responsibilities.
MSIP 5 STANDARD
G‐1 The superintendent will ensure that all reporting responsibilities require that District leadership and
staff contribute to the success of every student by being ethical and acting with fairness and integrity.
CSIP End‐of‐the‐Year Report p.32
Objective 5.2 The Board will develop, implement, and evaluate a process to review
the District’s programs, policies, and administrative procedures measured quarterly by board meeting agendas and meeting minutes. (Likert Score: 4.25)
STRENGTHS
The expected goal of continuous improvement must be achieved; this initiative led to an in‐
depth review of existing programs and services for students. Departments and schools were
asked to provide a list of all programs currently being used in the District. The list was used as
reference for administration to identify instructional programs for compliance with Board
adopted policy IM – Evaluation of Instructional Programs. This policy directs the superintendent
to implement an appropriate method for the evaluation of the curriculum, educational
programs and instructional processes. To align with current District practices, the policy
committee submitted in May 2013 revisions to policy IM. The SAB requested additional
revisions to the policy reflecting annual evaluations. A revision to the policy is currently
pending. The Governance Team examined reporting methods of accredited school districts to
obtain a reporting tool for compliance with policy IM. A draft Annual Program & Services
Review/Evaluation Calendar was created to provide monthly due dates for board agenda items,
program evaluations, and policy review recommendations for the SAB.
Board members are required to receive 16 hours of training within the first 12 months of
service and continued training and professional development in school governance. The
Missouri School Boards Association offers annual training, including an annual conference to
obtain the required hours.
OPPORTUNITIES AND NEXT STEPS
As requested by the superintendent, a policy review schedule will be developed by the Human
Resource Department to determine the appropriate month for each policy/procedure review in
addition to the bi‐yearly policy updates received from the Missouri School Boards Association
(MSBA). Recommended policy revisions will be presented to SAB semi‐monthly to include a 1st
reading for Discussion/Revisions, and 2nd reading for Action/Adoption of policy.
The policy revision process, reporting tool, and calendar were identified and will be submitted to the superintendent for review and/or implementation. A final recommendation for reporting will be determined by the Superintendent for the 2013‐2014 school year.

revised Board policy IM‐Evaluation of Instructional Programs, and the proposed evaluation tool the
superintendent will analyze data to determine the effectiveness of all programs and services.
Board meeting minutes will accurately document and record decisions made of all open Board meetings.
The open session meeting minutes and supporting documentation is available for public review on
BoardDocs, a link provided on the District website.
Objective 5.3 The Superintendent will maintain and/or exceed the States’ required
fund balance of greater than 10% as measured by the annual audit report. (Likert Score:5)
STRENGTHS
A review of the previous year’s Annual Secretary of the Board (ASBR) report was conducted and
reflected the district having a 54.52% fund balance and did not show the District as financially
stressed. Board policy DIAA – Fund Balances/GASB 54 did not include language to maintain a
fund balance goal. A recommendation to revise Policy DIAA to include a 15% fund balance was
presented by the CFO and approved by the SAB on July 7, 2013.
OPPORTUNITIES AND NEXT STEPS
The superintendent will ensure continued monitoring of the District’s finances for compliance with policy DIAA.
The CFO will continue to make recommendations to the superintendent in the area of finance. To assure better fiscal management and accountability a closer examination of the financial condition will be monitored on a monthly basis. Also, included will be multi‐period forecasting.
