Theunencumbered balance for January 2018 is $729,000 less than the year prior; right in line withtrend.

C. Update on Early College Experiences andAdvanced Placement Courses - Dave Peling, Avon HighSchool Principal and Peter Ettlinger, Director of GuidanceMr. Peling gave an overview of the academic opportunities for students at Avon High School toreceive college credit.• Two differentpathsthat allowmoreofAvon's students the opportunity to earncollegecredits:

o Advanced Placement with 21 various courses, exams given in May and scored from1-5 with 5 being the highest, a score of 3 or higher to be considered passing.Collegeswill usually accept the credit for scores of 4 or higher.

• Thereare approximately 750enrolledin AP classesthis yearwithan increasein number from each prior year.

• Avon was ranked 31®' of 169 districts in Connecticut for AP participationand 22"'' withpercentage of students passing APcourses with a score of 3 orhigher.

• Given the high SAT scores Avon students receive it is expected that thenumber of students taking AP classes will only rise.

o UConn Early College Experience (ECE) with eleven courses. Teachers must havegraduate credits in the respective discipline and apply to UConn in order to teachthese classes;which puts them on the level as an adjunct professor. Whatever gradetheyearn in the class at the high schoolbecomestheir gradeon the UConntranscript.Students taking ECE classes also have access to the UConn Library and databasesas a high school student.

• There are approximately 600 students currently taking ECE courses.• There is a website that lists which schools accept UConn credits according

to state.

• The fee is approximately $125per coursecomparedto the $1,700at UConn.• 12-15 credits, or an entire semester, can be acquired while as a high school

student.

• Many area high schools. West Hartford and Glastonbury, also offer ECE.• Questions and Comments from the Board

o Ms. Blea asked if CPC and honor classes were still available to which Mr. Pelingreplied that one or two honors courses were converted to ECE after comparing thecurriculum. Ms. Blea expressed her concern that Avon offer true learningexperiences to support a range of students ofall levels,

o Mr. Fleischman expressed his concern that Avon's participation was relatively lowand asked what were the hurdles in preventing higher enrollment. Mr. Peling couldnot comment on the historical reasons being relatively new, but shared that theprocesses of getting information and support to students was very important.Communication through The Falcon helped bring awareness of the availability ofthe programs. Mr. Fleischman also asked if the school was looking to find thepotential students through the CollegeBoard, perhaps to even identifysophomoresto which Mr. Peling confirmed they were using SAT and PSAT data to help identifystudents that could potential take AP and ECE courses,

o Mr. Spivak commented that although the percentage of those taking AP classes hasincreased he wondered if it was more due to the added AP courses now being offered

Avon Board of Education Regular Monthly Meeting Minutes, February 27,2018Page I 4

andworried thatthe participation in the core courses of APwasnot increasing. Mr.Spivak asked how Mr. Peling was able to increase participation in his previousdistrict. Mr. Pelingexplained that in his previous districtthe increase was due to acombination of offering additional AP courses, changing the philosophy of teachersand having more conversations with the faculty, parents and students that APcourses are for all students, not just the elite.Student Rep, AmirJohnson, agreed with Mr. Spivak that some students think thesecourses are only for the elite and to be able to take some of theseclasses you haveto be recommended which may be an issue for students participating. You mustpass these classes to graduate.Mr.Fleischman addedthere are typicallyAP coursesslatedto be offeredto freshmanand/or sophomores and suggested Avon consider these courses. Mr. Fleischmanalso questioned if the cost of the courses was a factor especially if students weretaking several at a time.Mr.Lowry asked howmany students goaround the high school andenroll incollegecourses directly to which Mr. Peling replied that he did not know. Mr. Lowry alsoasked what kind of approval did students need to take a class and felt it wasinappropriate for a teacher to dissuade a student from participating in an advancedclasses. Mr. Peling will report back on this issue.Mr. Oprica asked how Mr. Peling could educate theparents ontheofferings towhichMr. Peling replied having teachers and counselors have the conversation with thestudents and also write it well to get the information to parents to build awareness.Mr. Oprica also asked if there were a long-term vision to replace one with theotherto which Mr. Pelingresponded no and would like to have higher numbers in bothAP and ECE to ensure Avon was meeting the needs ofa greater number ofstudents.Mr. Oprica asked ifonly ECE students were able to access UConn's library towhichMr. Peling confirmed. Mr. Oprica asked if there would beexpansion to theofferingsto which Dr. Rusackreplied it is done throughcurriculum reviewofthe CPDC.Ms. Young stated that students hadpresented at a pastPolicy meeting that there is aculture of students taking a lower level class in order to get a higher grade ratherthan risk a lower grade in a higher level class. This should be taken intoconsideration as it is about the learning and not the grade.Mr. Indomenico asked if there was any consideration of speakingwithotherdistrictswith higher participation rates to askwhich courses arebeing offered andensure thelack ofparticipation was notdueto lack of opportunity. Mr. Peling feltthatoffering21 AP courses was comparable and makes for a robust program though there maybe a few more courses to offer. The participation is not from lack of capacity butneeding to change the culture of the school.Mr. Fleischman asked for confirmation that the AP score had no bearing on the gradeof the class to which Mr. Peling confirmed. Students would still receive the creditfor taking the course but lose the college credit.Mr. Spivak expressed concern thatwhatwastold when collapsing levels, that morestudents would move up to higher level courses, has not happened. The teachershave to make the recommendations, the counselors have to encourage the studentsand the students have to believe they can handle the courses. Mr. Spivak said thatafter researching otherdistricts he couldnot find anythat offeredboth AP andECEcourses in the same subject. Mr. Spivak was concernedthat colleges know what APis while not accepting ECE courses. Why does Avon offer both? Mr. Pelingexplained that both courses areoffered when the overlap is there which then offerstwo pathways to obtain college credit. Would students be at a credit disadvantage


at prestigious colleges? Stanford had no preference as longas equal in rigor andwould not affect their admission. Yale said either is great as long as students arebeing challenged but neither AP nor ECE would count since they do not acceptcredits from anywhere else. Princeton said there is no difference as they areweighted equally. Cornell said they are weighted the same, no difference. 5 out of5 said that an ECE course had the same weight as an AP course,

o Mr. Lowry stated that it might not be a difference in college acceptance but adifference in college credit. Students shouldbe awarethat just becauseyou take anECE or AP course does not mean you will get college credit. Mr. Peling added thatthere are some very good colleges, like Quinnipiac, that take all ECE courses,

o Mr. Fleischman asked if Mr. Peling knew how many students attended college instate vs. out of state to which Mr. Peling replied 50/50. Mr. Fleischman suggestedthat counselors help students decide on which courses to take in relation to wherestudents expected to attend college,

o Mr. Cavanaugh said some colleges may have other requirements and perhapsstudents should take these courses not with the expectation of college credit but tohelpwithcollege admittance andfor the sakeof learning to whichMr.Pelingagreedand stated that students taking more rigorous courses showed more grit andperseverance.

o Ms. Blea asked if students needing teacher recommendations to take more rigorousclasses was a district policy to which it was replied it was more a procedure. Ms.Blea wondered how to shift the culture of average students to get them to want totake the risk without having to jump through hoops just to try the rigorous coursesand hopes to continue this conversation in the Curriculum & Professional Practicescommittee.

o Chair Chute stated that it seemed that by offering both AP and ECE courses Avonis able to offer the opportunityto try more rigorous courses to more students and theshift is really getting the teachers to encourage the students and not that there is alack in value in one over the other. It is more the experience in challenging thestudent and having the student see that he/she may succeed,

o Mr. Fleischman asked for clarification as to whether the recommendation to take acourse is that of the teacher or whether it is a requirement set by the curriculum towhich Dr. Rusack replied it is not a curriculum prerequisite requirement.

Both areverysimilar except for the start date with one being August 30"^ and the other August 28*. The professionalday has been taken away onthe day after school ends with thePD more strategicallyplanned throughoutthe year. Also, inNovember, one version maintains the half-day theday before Thanksgiving whilethe otherversion has the day off. The school principals and teachers' union were polled and were infavor of version B with the earlier start date and the day offprior to Thanksgiving.Questions and Comments• Student Rep, Heather Monroe expressed that she preferred version B giving the day off before

Thanksgiving as many students areabsent thatday. Also starting earlier gives more timeto adjustto the school schedule.

• Student Rep, Amir Johnson also preferred version B and since it will behissenior year he liked anearlier graduation date.

• Mr. Spivak was concerned about the long school period, especially between December to April,and would like some kind of March break. Also, having the teacher in-service day off prior toMartin LutherKing Daygave an extraday for high school students to prepare for exams.

year's school calendar.• Mr. Oprica asked why the Teachers' Union preferred one version over the other to which Dr.

Paddyfote explained that they liked the day off before Thanksgiving and starting earlier to be inschool for fourdays the firstweek. Mr.Oprica expressed he felt the laterstartdate gave more timeto the summer.

• Ms. Young liked the idea of allowing teachers the Wednesday off before Thanksgiving but didvalue the later start date for families.

• April Mock shared thatherdaughter was notable to take anAP class as it was full and there wasnotstaffing for it. Also many of theclasses have over 20 students perclass. You can't just fill theclasses, you need the teachers.

• AmirJohnson shared that duringthe CodeYellow there werea lot of students wondered abouttheinteriorcameras in the schools have not been fully implemented since SandyHook so why now isit finally being implemented. School safety is important and it should have been important ondayone. Alsoasking to see school ID is not consistent as to who is being asked.

• Aparent stated that she trusts the school although it seems people trusted theschool inFlorida. Theparent asked about the money being allocated from the Science labs. Are the labs regulated andapproved byOSHA? Can themoney bebonded? Where else can themoney come from? We can'thave Science labs that are not up to code but we cannotnot have cameras either.

Chair Blea reordered the agenda to move Item IV- Communications from the Public to afterItem VII- February IS"' CPDC Meeting Update.

The motion passed 4-0-0.

IV. Presentation and Discussion

a. Grades 7-12 Focus Areas - David Peling, AHS Principal and David Kimball, AMS Principal• Mr. Kimball stated that the middle school is concentrating on the climate, achievement and

communication of the sehool, which are the three pillars of the district. The missionstatement was completed last year - to inspire, challenge and empower students to developcompassion, curiosity, responsibility and resilience. A social contract has been establishedas the foundation of conversations with students and in curricula when possible. AMSShout Outs is an opportunity to acknowledge students who exhibit any of the attributes.Speakers have been brought to the school to reinforce these foundations. Scarlet Lewis,who lost a son at Newtown, will be coming in April to speak to the faculty on "ChooseLove" which compliment what the middle school is trying to create with the "wrap aroundsupport" concentrating on the whole child correlating with the behavioral side of SRBI. Adevelopmental guidance curriculum is hoped to be integrated much more to what is doneon a daily basis. Mr. Kimball also has a once a month breakfast for parents that draws inparents from within the district and out. For the parents who carmot come, phone calls are

Cumcvilvim & Professional Practices Meeting Minutes —March 6, 2018, ContinuedPage 2

made to establish connections with parents which leads to student connections. Variousstudent activities and PTO functions help reinforce coimections for all the students.

• Mr. Kimball and Mr. Peling have been working on a behavioral matrix which is aconsequence matrix for grades 7 to 12. What does discipline look like on a continuum?What is effective? Looking for measurable responses coupled with emotional supports;redefining ISS (in school suspensions) to ensure there are adults in place for support.Trying to develop a tiered approach so that when students leave the middle school the highschool is not starting from scratch and to eliminate the inconsistencies between the twoschools. The matrix also includes prompts to help assess the action, what consequence isappropriate and the protocol to follow. Teachers are also appreciating the response time.Focusing the entire process on the whole child is having a greater impact.

• Mr. Peling feels he has had a very productive first year at the high school - working towardsthe goal, especially in creating a respectful school culture; consistently implementingdiscipline; and creating distributive leadership. Faculty are given the opportunity to haveinput by having all staff involved in various committees: NEASC; technology;instruction/assessment; scheduling; faculty advisory; and school improvement. Class ActSchools allows students to take part in more leadership roles and sets behavior standardsfor the students and athletes. Faculty have also been asked to model these standards ofbehavior. The high school is also trying to increase student recognition of students whoare exhibiting exemplary behavior. There have also been guest speakers providingstudents with powerful messages. Time and effort are critical to establishing relationshipswith all students which then establishes a mutual trust and respect. Mr. Peling requestedthat restoration of some staff, guidance counselor, social worker, and a special educationsupervisor would help increasingly meet the needs ofall the students.

V. Advanced Placement/Early College Experience Update• Mr. Peling expounded on some ofthe questions spoken at the February Board ofEducation

meeting.o Honors has been eliminated in some of the Science areas after a review of the

curriculum showed that it was similar to the ECE courses which allow students

to earn college credit while honors courses would not. Reviewing the gradesstudents received show the courses to be successful,

o Conversations will be had to evaluate whether additional levels are needed in

between or whether levels offered are good as they are. Each department willreview their number of honors courses,

o UConn came out to visit and is thrilled with the program especially with 9"^graders taking ECE course work,

o Work to help improve participation in AP and ECE courses include: improvingthe processes when teacher recommendations are over ridden; havingconversations regarding AP/ECE courses with guidance counselors; gettinginformation to students, parents and staff; ensuring AP/ECE courses areincluded in the course descriptions; listing the cost of taking classes,

o Underclassmen are encouraged to take these courses,o The number ofstudents going directly to college was not available at this time

as the Director ofGuidance was out.

o What is being done to educate parents and students regarding these courses?Conversations are being had with guidance counselors so they in turn can haveconversations with the students. It was discovered that not all students

enrolled in the AP courses take the AP exam. Some districts require allstudents who take the class to take the exam so there is no misrepresentation

Ciiriicviliim & Professional Practices Meeting Minutes —March 6, 2018, ContinuedPage 3

in the student transcripts. Avon will stress that though it is not required to takethe exam, it is expected; part ofthe value ofthese courses is in the preparationfor the exams.

o Scholarships are offered to students who carmot afford to take the exams,o Some colleges, such as Harvard and Yale, do not accept AP credits,o Mr. Peling added that when West Hartford and East Granby opened AP

enrollment, with no recommendations required, there was an increase ofmiddle achieving students who self-selected and took AP courses,

o A typical student takes 2-3 AP courses with less than a dozeno Studies have shown that students who take AP courses, while they may not

pass the exam, have received the benefit oftaking a rigorous course that betterprepares them for higher education,

o Avon has a 90% pass rate which is indicative of too much gate keeping as towhich students can take AP courses and becomes an equity issue,

o Dr. Camemolla added that if we require students to take the exams, legally,the district should be paying for the exams. The more students that take APcourses, you will see less students taking the exams. Whether students takethe AP exams falls on student choice but it does gives students the collegeexperience.

o Mr. Peling stated that differentiated teaching varies more by teacher than bycourse or whether it is AP/ECE.

o Chair Blea asked Mr. Peling to come back to the committee periodically togive updates.

o Mr. Peling added that the mental health of the students is to be considered inrelation to the number ofAP courses students take.

VI. APS Course Additions, Changes & Deletions 2013-2017• Dr. Donna Nestler-Rusack shared a list showing the progression of course additions,

changes & deletions beginning in 2013 which includes the addition of firll daykindergarten; elementary Spanish; Chinese; AP and ECE courses; the phase out of AC(academic level) courses; and the expansion of technology and finance course offerings.This document will be shared with the full Board at the next meeting.

VII. February 15^CPDC Meeting Updatea. Possible Action on New Course Proposals; Algebra II Skills

• Dr. Rusack gave a recap of the Feb. 15^ CPDC meeting. At the meeting two Boardmembers were also in attendance, Debra Chute and Jackie Blea. There was one newcourse proposal, an Algebra II Skills course that is being proposed for the high school.There are already skills courses in place for Algebra I and Geometry. The skills classmeets 45 minutes every other day offering additional support to students enrolled inAlgebra II. These are credit baring courses in order to offer students additional credits tobe able to graduate.

• Ms. Blea expressed concern that the skills classes would be on student transcripts.• Mr. Kimball stated that sometimes it may be a maturation process in needing extra time to

grasp concepts but students seem to flourish form the extra support.• Mr. Fleischman questioned since the percentage ofstudents in the classes needing the skills

course is so small whether these students may be needing the support in additional subjectmatters.

• Mr. Oprica asked for clarification as to Ms. Blea's concern of the transcripts. Ms. Bleaanswered that she understands the need for the course and is supportive however the name

Ctimculutn & ProfessionalPractices MeetingMinutes—March 6, 2018, ContinuedPage 4

Skills is the concern. Dr. Rusack said the course is not a required course and though thestudent may need the class, parents and studentshave the option ofnot taking the course.

• Superintendent Camemolla agreed that it is a valid concern for someone looking at atranscript and suggested that a closer look he taken on the name of the course and thesequencing of the courses.

• Mr. Opricaasked if there were any suggestions ofthings that could be done earlier to helpthe students. Dr. Rusack replied that breaking Algebra I into two years was part of thesolution as well as universal screenings in math and ELA starting in kindergarten to alertthe need for SRBI or additional supports. Tutors and interventionists are also available towork with students.

Debra Chute moved and seconded by Jeffrey S. Fleischman to send to the Boardfurtherdiscussion andpossible approval on the New Course Proposals: Algebra IISkills

The motion passed 4-0-0

b. Possible Action Primary Instructional Materials: Gr. 8 English Language Arts; Gr. 9-12Business & Mathematics

• Dr. Rusack explained that coordinator teachers presented three proposed texts to theCPDC, which received the required two thirds vote to move the books forward. The threetexts presented are: Narrative of the Life ofFrederick Douglass for ELA and for mathBasic Finance: An Introduction to financial Institutions, Investments, and Managementand Calculus Early Transcendentals.

• Ms. Chute expressed her excitement for the texts presented as they were enthusiasticallysupported by staff.

• Mr. Fleischman asked ifthe text on Frederick Douglass was required reading. Dr. Rusackreplied that it is text from which teachers can choose.

Jackie Blea moved and seconded by Jeffrey S. Fleischman to move to the Board therecommendation to launch the thirty day review period of the Primary InstructionalMaterials: Gr. 8 English Language Arts; Gr. 9-12 Business & Mathematics

The motion passes 4-0-0

c. SRBI Behavioral Resource

• Dr. Rusack explained that much of the work of the Coimcil this year has been looking atthe SRBI behavioral side of the triangle. The Council drafted a document that has beengiven to all the K-8 teachers over the course oftwo ofthe Professional Developmentdays.The document has active resource links which will be shared with the Curriculum &Professional Practices committee at a later date.

d. Elements of a Quality Curriculum• One of the first tasks Dr. Rusack had the Council do back in 2012 was to define the

elements of a quality curriculum. Looking hack. Dr. Rusack is excited that much ofwhatwas identified has been realized at some level throughout the district. The work Avillcontinue with looking at the elements and how to redefine them for future work.

e. K-12 Technology Standards & Current Practices• The Library Media will be looking at the standards as part of their curriculum review and

revision process. The standards will "live" in the Library Media document, but thedocument will overlay all the curriculum area as technology isn't a stand-alone class.CPDC members compiled a grid that will provide the baseline data to begin the work. Asthe work develops it will brought forth to this committee.

Cvirriculum & Ptofessional Practices MeetingMinutes —March 6, 2018, ContinuedPage 5

VIII. Communications from the Public

• Mr. Spivak agreed with Ms. Blea that the course name of Skills may factor negatively onstudent transcripts. He asked whether we were offering this course as a result of the levelcollapse and is ctnious as to how other districts handle the skills type courses. Mr. Spivakalso spoke about the potential confusion to students with regards to the various level ofclasses being offered. He is concerned that future budgets may force the district toeliminate valuable courses. Mr. Spivak agreed with Dr. Camemolla regarding the possibleelimination of final exams for students taking AP exams. Mr. Spivak explained that theprevious AHS principal provided data that "override students" performed as well as"recommended students" in the AP classes.

• Mrs. Oprica asked about the cost and the weighting of ECE courses to the school systemsince many of them align with the honors courses. Mrs. Oprica also feels that studentstaking AP courses but not taking the exams show that these students are not taking thecourses for college credit which questions the rationale for additional ECE courses forcollege credit. Perhaps there is a way to survey students and parents on their thoughts andthe reasons why the students take or don't take the courses. Mrs. Oprica also agreed withMr. Spivak in the fear of courses having to be eliminated due to budget constraints. Sheasked that AP courses would be kept since they are nationally recognized and acceptedwhere the ECE courses are more the exception and questioned why ECE Calculus wasoffered.

IX. Avon Assessment Calendar for State Testing 2018• Dr. Rusack shared with the committee the Avon Assessment Calendar for State Testing

2017-2018. Upcoming on March 21 is the CT SAT School Day, after which is the SmarterBalanced Assessments from April 30^ to May 25^. Next Generation Science Standards isreplacing CMT and CAPT and results will not be available this first year.

SUBJECT: Avon Preschool Program Tuition - FY 18/19

CO

CO

As proposed inthe FY 2018/2019 Board ofEducation Budget, the Pupil Services Department has requestedto increase the preschool program attendance time offered to3 year olds. Presently, 4 year old preschoolstudents attend the program 5 days per week all day, as compared to 3 year olds attending 4 days perweekfor only halfa day. The new proposed increase to the 3 year old program would include 5 days per week forthe length ofthe school year, 180 days, however itwould maintain ahalf day schedule. Below please findchart detailing thepastthree years of tuitions relating to Avon Preschool typical peers.

Program FY2015/2016 FY2016/2017 FY2017/2018

3 Year Old $1,550.00 $1,610.00 $1,670.00

4 Year Old $3,475.00 $3,610.00 $3,740.00

The Administration proposes increasing the 3 year old tuition from $1,670.00 to $2,783.00. This proposedamount was arrived atby calculating theperdiem associated with the current tuition. The program for 3yearolds is based ona 108 day calendar, thus charging $15.46 per day for each typical peer. The plannedschedule for the increased 3 year old program would consist of 180 days peryear, therefore constituting atuition of $2,783.00.
