So our board reps, Miss Joy Knight and Mr. Jason McGowan are very, very busy in rehearsals as they are two stars of the show. So please everybody, please go see Anastasia this weekend or next weekend. So instead of our student board report tonight, we have uh some presentations that are going to kick off for us. So I'm going to ask Dr. Reddick-Smalls if she can come up and introduce those presentations. >> Good evening, everyone. So today
003or this evening So this evening, we have two presentations from our high school and from Sharon Hill. Sharon Hill is going to lead the presentation. Once they complete, Academy Park High School will come up and they will speak to their CSI plan for this year and where they are in the process. So without further ado, Dr. Robinson and Mr. Rohrbach, come on up. >> Thank you, Dr. Reddick-Smalls. Good evening, everyone. >> Good evening. >> Uh here's the agenda items. Thank you. All right. School culture and climate, academic goals, PBIS, Reading Olympics team. We have representatives here this evening. Girls Lead. We have uh Miss Hudson, uh the coach leader for Girls Lead and student representation and also student representation for the DVCE student leadership conference. Leadership conference in 2026. And then we also have a
004representative who was a participant in the other thank you video to legislators earlier this year. Okay, uh Year one, uh for me as principal of Sharon Hill School, our theme was we are Sharon Hill School, we are Sharon Hill strong. You can see it uh right here on the chest. Uh very symbolic and it fit because we had a challenging circumstances for the opening of the 2021 to 2021 2022 school year. It brought us together as a school uh community. Uh it had a positive impact on our school culture and climate. Uh we were thriving as far as, you know, improving in attendance, academic growth, and academic achievement as uh as well. So, off to a very uh good start for our year one at Sharon Hill School. And so, from year two, I came
005up with the theme of now we are Sharon Hill even stronger. And so, you know, uh we uh were stagnant, you know, not as much growth as the first year. And then heading into year three, uh I'm a big huge hip-hop fan and right around that time, Wu-Tang Forever was coming out. So, I was like, all right, year three is going to be Sharon Hill School stronger than ever. But a little humble pie, our academic performance declined a little bit. So, I was like, all right, maybe, you know, just uh slow down a little bit, so to speak, as far as the themes. Uh with that being said, here is our PSSA data from the last from 2022 up to 2025. As you can see, the first year, 28%, 29% second year, stagnant uh third
006year for ELA. Math, uh 14, 17, and to 18. And, you know, uh we are far from meeting the standards of the uh the state as far as the PSSA scores, but within district uh we were uh very competitive in part in regards to being first or second in most of the uh categories as far as the PSSA scores. So, that's what I meant by earlier we were thriving in the years one and two and it started taking a little dip in year three. Uh for this year, our academic goals for ELA is to achieve 34% advanced or proficient and 23% for math for advanced or proficient. And this year is the baseline data with the new test for uh science for this year. So, we'll have our baseline data for uh going into next
007year for science. So, I'm going to uh skip over that slide. Uh lost the screen again. >> You're only showing the specific tab that we opened in the new tab >> I I got I'm back onto the PowerPoint now? >> Yep. Sorry. >> Uh but I was going to highlight some uh star data as far as you know what we're tracking to get prepared for the PSSAs which we started uh this week. >> I have to re- I have to restart it. I'm sorry. >> There we go. You got to go back a page. >> And I'm going to hand off to Mr. Ruane uh to go over some points of pride and other uh academic areas and uh school information. >> Everyone please welcome Mr. Ruane. >> Good evening everyone. So, a couple of
008things before we get to PBIS are um academics one of our big push obviously is data through our uh school-based instructional specialist uh does an amazing job of not only preparing the PLC calendar, but creating every robust schedule for data review and also um has been in the classroom coaching um with our teachers both veterans and new teachers. So, great thing focus on small group instruction, you know, formative assessments, exit slips, and data to lead the instruction. So, still have our work cut out for us, but you know, we at least have some plans in place. One of the points of pride for Sharon Hill is our PBIS program. Fourth year in a row we have been recognized for implementing with fidelity. So, being recognized at the state level. Identified two coaches for tier two.
009So, in the early stage processes of planning that. Through PBIS we have four successful parent engagement events. The ice cream social in September which is, you know, game night October, our cookie bake which is our most well attended one during the holiday season with a sing along, and then we just had a successful bingo in March. Currently, we have about 15 raffles that are that are kids can put their ace tickets in for, you know, attendance and effort during the PSSA, and they will be drawn next week. And then we have our culminating event which is our PBIS fun day where we partner, we get some donations from the Franklin Mint Credit Union. They buy ice cream and water ice for the kids. We have a dunk tank, moon bounce, obstacle course. It's just a
010day of fun. So, that's how we will end our school year Friday, May 29th. So, that is one of our shining points of pride the PBIS program. We have a great core one team, and we are developing our core two team. So, looking forward to great things from them. >> Thank you. >> Mr. White. >> Thank you, Mr. White. >> In continuation of our points of pride for round one of the star assessment, Mr. Linderman's uh, room section at 80% uh, scores secured uh, for uh, for readings first star reading and 76% of Mr. Linderman's sections scored uh, 76% scores secured. And secured is basically advanced or proficient on the star assessment. So, it was off to a good uh, first round for the star assessment uh, for Mr. Linderman's class for eighth grade. Uh,
011some additional points uh, points of pride Mr. uh, Ruane Albert covered PBIS. We have a very active student council uh, team uh, from anything from food drive, celebrating the holidays. Uh, we have monthly themes that are very instrumental in celebrating attendance, uh, food drives, autistic awareness. Uh, Native American Heritage Month, uh, Spanish Heritage American Month, Women's History Month, Black History Month, uh, Asian Pacific Islander. They are very involved in whatever door decorating contest and poster contest we may have. Uh, for the second year in a row we've had a uh, partnership with uh, Reading Alliance through uh, Dr. Sanchez's uh, partnership with that organization. Awesome opportunity for our students from high school to serve as mentors for our first grade our first uh, first grade second grade students uh, to support them in reading. It's
012uh, been a pleasure over the last two years. Uh, in a few minutes we're going to have uh, Ms. Hudson as a representative from the Girls Lead speak to their work. Uh, for the past four years Eastern Stars uh, organization from uh, within Sharon Hill been very instrumental. Uh, they started off with uh, donating books for one section for first grade then that led to all three sections in the first grade and over the last three years then expanded to first through third grade and this year they actually donated a gift to every single student during the holiday uh, season. Whether it was gloves, socks, hats. So, we have awesome partnership with them. Uh, another uh, representation we have amongst our student body is Reading Olympics and that's our those are some additional points of
013pride. So at this time the Sharon Hill School representatives for the Reading Olympics program, please come on up. Let's give them a big ROUND OF APPLAUSE. SHE DIDN'T BRING IT. OKAY. >> HELLO, I'M ABIGAIL. >> Hi Abigail. >> Abigail 9 and 6th grade at Sharon Hill School. Um I'm a part of the Reading Olympics team and in Reading Olympics we are required to read we have we are given a list of 45 books that we are required to read and then we would go to a different school to go to a competition and at this competition we are to answer as many questions about the books we read as possible correct We are meant to answer as many correct questions as possible about the books we read. And if you answer a certain amount of
014questions you get a certain ribbon. >> Hey uh everyone, Alexis just winged it. Someone else is going to be presenting that tonight. So let's give ALEXIS A HAND. PARDON ME, ABIGAIL'S OLDER SISTER'S name Alexis. So Abigail, thank you very much. Dr. Robinson before she steps away just want to applaud Abigail. So I personally went to see I personally went to see her um in the competition. Was it 2 weeks ago Abigail? Was it >> I think it was like 3 weeks. >> 3 weeks ago. Um I was very impressed with our team but especially impressed with your leadership. So keep up the great work. >> THANK YOU. >> UH HERE'S THE READING LIST THAT ABIGAIL WAS UH REFERENCING. Here's a picture of some members of the team. And this is uh basically what Abigail was
015uh summarizing as far as you know being a member of the Reading Olympics team and what the program is about. And next I'm going to hand over to Ms. Hudson. A speech therapist at Sharon Hill School and we're also going to ask the representatives from our Girls Lead to come on up as well. >> Hello. So Girls Lead is a program that's aimed at helping middle school and high school girls with untapped leadership potential find their footing and thrive. Um students complete a community project every year. In the past our students have focused on conflict resolution, restorative practices, and ways to build a community within our school. Every year our students also have the opportunity to attend a conference. So the students from the Sharon Hill's Girls Lead program, they meet up with students in
016other Girls Lead programs in different districts across the state of Pennsylvania. Um the Women's Resource Center is a local nonprofit agency which offers the Girls Lead program to Sharon Hill School and we've had it every year since the 2022 to 2023 school year. And this program is completely free of cost to our students including the conference. So the first year for our conference, this was still during COVID so we were limited to where we were able to go. So we did have our conference in our school library but it was hosted by Wawa. The girls did a project that focused on discipline and you know conflict resolution. Our second year we were able to go to Villanova University which was really special. We do have teachers who are alumni from this university so the students
017had a personal connection and they also did a project that was similar to conflict resolution and discipline within the school. Last year we went to the Drexel Brook and the girls had a project which the students in fourth grade helped with. Louis created dog toys and we donated them to local dog shelters. And this school year we will be going to Newman University in May and we have a project that was working on getting donations for a feminine hygiene project products so that we could have them available in the middle school bathroom for the girls. >> Thank you Miss Hudson. I'm probably going to get in trouble for saying this but I became a parent for the first time 11 years ago and I know the most important thing is to have a healthy child
018but in my 19 years of Southeast Elco School District our girls our young ladies need initiatives like this in regards to getting along understanding each other and realizing the different the similarities they have in regards to the obstacles they're going to need to make it in this world rather than looking at each others like looking at each other like enemies. So this is a very crucial so in other words I was saying hey I hope I have boys because I don't have to want to deal with all this drama and so forth and all that. Okay. All right. Uh next uh we've already met Abigail and she's going to bring a friend of hers her name is Erin. They had the opportunity to go on a visit with Dr. Foreman and Miss Oliver for the
0192026 DBCE a student leadership conference. Ladies come on up and >> Well too short for this. Okay. >> Hello we are Abigail Nine and Erin Nash sixth graders at Sharon Hill School as you may know and we were given the opportunity to go to a leadership program. So we're going So we're here to tell about our experience. >> At first of this we were required to wake up quite early so we would make it to the high school so we could catch the bus. But, the bus ride was about an hour long and we sat quietly and patiently. The first thing we did when we arrived was our host made sure that we were fed. We had we were given a breakfast that had a large variety of options. >> After we finished eating, we
020were seated in the auditorium. In the auditorium, we were indulged in friendly competition by playing a few games such as cup stacking and involved in a trivia. This was just the beginning to help us get us ready for the day. Middle school and high school were then split up and the middle schoolers went to workshops. In these workshops, we could pick between things like creative writing, things like art, stuff like that. Um me and my friend Abby picked a poetry workshop where we learned about our hosts his life as a child, his background, and um about things he went through in his culture. We wrote a We wrote poems about our life back then as it was and our life as it is now. We were also given the opportunity to participate in a poetry
021slam. >> After the workshop, we we headed back to the auditorium and the high schoolers left to go to workshops. In this auditorium, they explained to us that the high schoolers had put together presentations for things that they want to see change or improve in their schools. And we were And they also explained to us that we were given the opportunity to vote to vote as to which presentation we thought we like we agreed with the most, we thought was best presented. Oh yeah, the top three people that had the most votes would go and present to the entire room to hopefully see the change in the school. But before that, we had lunch. >> After lunch, we were once again seated in the auditorium. In the auditorium, music was playing. We had the chance
022to get up on stage and dance and overall had a fun time. The room was lively and everyone was buzzing with excitement. >> Once we settled down Once we settled down, our host decided to motivate us by sharing stories of challenges they overcame. These stories were motivational and they have inspired both of us. >> As mentioned before, we had the opportunity to to participate in a poetry slam. Well, me and my friend Abigail did not participate. We We did hear some great poems. When the winners were selected, they were congratulated by mainly the whole room, but also the hosts. This program, like many things, had to come to an end. We were graciously given notebooks to write down our experience and and an extra book by our host about his background as well. We took
023the bus home and returned to school >> for 5 minutes. Now, I'm going to be sharing my opinion. Now, for this leadership trip, I think it was a very memorable trip and I think I learned a lot about others and myself. For how I would like my school to upgrade our school by improve our school and I got these from the leadership trip. I think that our school should also let the children think about something that is troubling them in our school and then give a nice presentation to try and convince our principals and more people higher up to to change this about our school. And that's our presentation. >> I'd also like to say that in my opinion, I'm very proud of the work I did, the people I met, and the memories I
024made. >> Thank you Abigail and Aaron. I'm very proud of you. Thank you for representing. You are certainly Sharon Hill strong. Thank you to the parents who brought the children here tonight. Thank you for your support. Thank you to Miss Hudson for presenting this night for this evening. And thank you to Mr. And thank you to the board for having us here this evening. Thank you everyone and goodnight. Going to head off to Mr. Sharon. Sharon, we can leave if you want. >> Excuse me. Before Before Mr. Sharon, before you start, does anybody from the board have any questions for Mr. Robinson or Mr. Ruane about the presentation? >> I I am just curious just curious how has attendance been handled? Like do we see an improvement? Do we see just in general some of
025the initiatives that you have taken has it had a positive effect on your attendance over this school year? >> I would say over the past four years as far as the the goal for that submitted for the school improvement plan, we have attained progress in regards to basically like 70% of our students attending school at a rate of 90%. So we have improved in that capacity this year. We have new outside agency this year. We'll see how that impacts the by data as well. >> Thank you. Thank you, Mr. Robinson. Dr. Robinson. >> To all the Sharon Hill families and students, thank you very much for being here tonight. Get home safe. >> There you go. That's good. Thank you. No, wrong way. All right. Good evening. Oh, there it is. Good evening, Dr. Sanchez.
026Good evening, Madam President. Good evening to the members of the board and ladies and gentlemen of the audience. Good evening to everyone. Uh my name is Does it work if I just stand here? Excellent. I figured it would I was going to get real awkward. Um Um The time to start. My name is Richard Sheran, very proud principal of Academy Park. And we are happy to be here this evening to give you an update on our CSI plan, which is our comprehensive supports plan. I am here tonight with some members of our leadership team. So up first Mr. Lamar Alexander, who is our 11th grade assistant principal. This is Latasha Threadgill, our 12th grade assistant principal. And Mr. Jessica Sacrenti, who is our school based instructional specialist. So this is a small part of the
027contributing team to the work that's going on at Academy Park. So we are proud to be here to represent all of the work and give you some insight. For everyone's understanding, this presentation really works well up close. There is a lot of information, but we wanted it to be a resource that actually continues to live. So we're going to give some big overviews, take notes, and then if anything is unclear, we can either come back tonight or in the future. But everything that's on there is pretty comprehensive to make sure you have an understanding of the entire process. So there are some key terms on there. The key ones I'll review are ESSA, which is the first one, Every Student Succeeds Act. That is the law that governs how schools operate and how we are
028scored and the test that we have to do. And for this presentation, you'll see the last one ACSI, which is additional comprehensive support and improvement. And that is our designation right now. So those are two keys moving forward. To get an understanding of this plan, you really have to understand where it comes from. So our designation, the data that caused this designation is what's called lagging indicators, which means this comes from a while ago. And so this designation actually pre-dates this team. and so it's data that was inherited. Inherited. It's a label that was coming and so we have inherited it but we are absolutely built to see the growth that is needed to exit. This is probably better up close as I said but just to give you an idea the official first designation
029for Academy Park was in 2018. And with that lagging indicator that means in 2018 that designation came from data that was from 2015-2016. So this is how far back we're going. The reason why we moved from the designation ATS I which for some people is less scary. It's still a designation which means pay attention to something a data point in your school. What actually happened to Academy Park was when we had the opportunity to exit which happens every 3 years. You do not just get to improve show growth and get out. It's a 3-year journey. So in 2018 the actual exit time would have been 2022. But that would have been from data from 2020. Okay. So because the school did not exit based on that timeline that is why now because of one of
030these rules is being a title one school which of course we have no control over but add that with the fact that we didn't exit is what made us cascade into the lowest designation. Okay. It's a lot to understand but that is the actual metrics of it and so we are working on data right now that actually will not be looked at for another 2 years into the future. I'm going to pass it on to Mr. Crandall. >> All right. So there are more acronyms on this on this slide as well. So a part of our plan is we needed to come up with different action steps and goals and then we have a lot of resources that we're using for our plan. So, um, as the instructional specialist, I take the lead on PLCs
031and planning them and really trying to engage our staff to really work together, to dig into data together, to learn how to, um, collaborate, use data to drive their instruction and things like that. Um, we have two English interventionists and one math interventionist that really targets the ninth and tenth grade uh, students, which is what we are focusing on in our CSI plan. With, uh, MTSS, we are using that as an early warning indicator and the platform of Panorama has been really, really helpful in navigating that work. Edmentum is more of like our intervention tool, which is the Exact Path tutorials, uh, all of the different things that students are using to supplement, uh, instruction. In our lab classes, that goes right into the next one. In our lab courses, which we're going to talk
032about in a little bit. Um, our partnership with Catapult and DCIU have been really, really positive for us this year. Catapult has really dedicated their top-tier coaches to our lab teachers and we have seen a tremendous amount of growth from the time that they started in December to, um, they're wrapping up in the next couple of weeks. And the PDE conferences we went to a school improvement conference over the summer and that's actually going to lead us into the next slide, which, um, we went to the conference last summer, really learned everything, took so many resources home and, um, they sent us a opportunity to submit a proposal for the conference for a breakout session. So, we as a team, we wrote a proposal for navigating the first year of CSI and our proposal was
033approved. So, we'll be presenting at the conference this summer. So, that is a really big success. Not to skip over that first one, which is that our plan was actually approved. Um as you know in this room, the state moves at their own pace for everything. So, we did not know our plan was approved until Ja- yeah, January or February of this year. So, we would literally we wrote the plan, all these action steps, all these moving parts, and we're like, "We're just going to go for it blindfolded." because we were told they're going to kick it back. They're going to kick it back. And our plan was approved on its first shot. So, that was really an awesome testament to the work a lot of work that was put in by this team um
034trying to get that going before the school year. Uh I already talked about interventionist and coaches and Panorama. So, yeah, so a lot of successes to celebrate. >> All right, good evening, everybody. Um when we look at Knight Academy's enrollment, this includes cyber, Duckor Academy, and Knight Academy, and and obviously Academy Park High School. So, total enrollment right now is 1,216 students. We have 307 ninth graders, 227 10th graders, 282 11th graders, and for 12th grade we have 350 students. If you look at our demographics, 46% female, uh 54% male, uh majority of our population is African American with 80.7%. Uh 9% white, uh 4.6% Hispanic Latino, our Asian population is 1.9%, and then our Native American Indian is uh 0.3%, and then two or more races are 3.5%. >> All right, so when we're
035looking at our ACSI plan, we were designated in three different areas. We were designated for our attendance, for our literacy score, and also for math. Again, designated in three areas with various subgroups including special education, black population, economically disadvantaged, etc. So, these are the three areas where we were designated as CSI. And as you will see, we have goals. We have three different goals. And for all three of these goals, by the end of June 30th, specifically for our attendance, Academy Park, we're looking to increase the percentage of our regular attenders by 50%. If you take a look at our literacy annual goal, by the end of June, Academy Park, we are looking to increase the percentage of students earning proficient or beyond on our reading star benchmark to at least 40% of our ninth-grade
036students. And then, of course, for our math goal, by the end of June, we are looking to increase the percentage of students earning proficient or beyond on the math star math star benchmark to at least 20% of the ninth-grade students. Specifically for literacy and math, we are focusing with this plan on our ninth-grade students. That is not to say all other grades are not important because they are. It's just that we chose to focus on that the first year students entering high school. And so, with that being said, our goals the goals that we developed with these percentages that we came up with, we developed these based upon historical data. And we want to we wanted to ensure that our plan reflected the starting point of where we were, and then looking at where we
037think that we can improve. And so, these goals are basically designed to show progress and not cap us at a potential. We want to show progress, meaningful progress, and that is measurable. >> All right, so let's talk about attendance. Attendance is definitely a part of our plan, as she just shared. So, when we look at attendance, just to give you guys some context, according to the PA Department of Education, regular attendance is defined as the number of students who attend school 90% or more of days throughout the school year. So, let's kind of break it down. When we look at the school year, our students attend 180 days. So, when we look at that, 90% of 180 days is 162 days that we need our students to attend. Now, obviously, we want them there every
038day, but let's be honest, we know our students have trips, vacations, things of that nature, which we'll go ahead and get into. So, regular attendance, again, is no more than 18 absences, which breaks down to pretty more our students not missing no more than two days a month. So, for regular attendance, again, it's not just average daily attendance, but it's throughout the whole year, as I just shared, not missing two more days two days a month or 162 days, right? So, when we talk about regular attendance, according to the state, excused and unexcused does not matter. So, imagine you have a student who's in a hospital or some type of facility, even if it's excused, it still impacts our attendance. Family trips, college visits, even career experiences all count against our attendance. Right? So, again,
039those attributed data sources include, again, Academy Park, Cyber, Delco Academy, and Night Academy. >> So, this is our actual data this school year. So, we wanted to just to give you a comparison side by side of the difference between what we are required to do, which is regular attendance, versus the average daily attendance. And if you imagine our first slide about the context of about 1,200 students, which does fluctuate, when you say average daily at 90%, that's above 1,000 students in school per day. So, we have students in the building all the time, but their average number of them that miss fewer than 18 days, that's what we see in the regular attendance breakdown. However, those are numbers that we are celebrating cuz we have hit all of our goals, and if that data remains
040constant, then we will meet our end of the year goal as well. This is more data. Once again, this can also be reviewed, but this is just how it progresses for us, and we measured it through the subgroups, which is important for our designation because we have to achieve both a whole school goal, and we have to achieve the goals by individual subgroups. So, we have to look at special education students. We have to look at We look at AEDY in our cyber program because that feeds us information. So, this is how we break it down and analyze it in our meetings. Some of the action steps you've heard of, but this is how we are approaching attendance. It is a lot of one-on-one conversations and meetings with the an administrator and a guidance counselor.
041There is really no other process for attendance. We do have PBIS. We put incentives and good things, but you have to turn through every single child and find out why you individually are not coming and try to find a solution for you. So, that is why attendance is a very time-consuming process, but we are going to continue to grow and celebrate. >> Again, as stated, we do have our literacy annual goal, and again, we are focused on our ninth-grade students, and we're looking for our students to increase um the percentage of students increasing and earning proficient or beyond on our STAR benchmarks. And so, take a look at ninth grade, the highlighted um portion. For quarter one, we um we had 28% of our students who scored proficient. All right. So, again, look, our goal
042is to get 40%. So, we started out at 28% in quarter one, but look at how we were able to grow in quarter two. We got up to 62.8% and then of course quarter three, our students are still growing at 52%. Notice those numbers are beyond or above 40%. So, we are growing. Remember I told you 10th, 11th, and 12th, everyone matters. But look at between quarters two and quarters three for all grade levels, we are growing and you see the numbers. It's happening at Academy Park in literacy. >> And then similarly with math, we have the same goals for quarter one focused on proficiency. Our goal was 10%. We were just under that number. And then for quarter two and three, we are looking at growth. So, student growth, we are looking at at
043least 50% of the students grow at least 50 SGP, which is standard growth percentile or more. So, if you you'll see, you know, they just they knew that 50 was the the number and they they hit it. So, we got 50.3 in quarter two and then our quarter three right the even 50 for for math. >> I want to make sure we also Ms. Sacrenty explained it, but I'm for both of those data points, just understanding quarter one is when we give them the actual test. And so, that's the 28%. The next two quarters, that is how many people have grown. So, that is not the 62% proficiency. The students still have to wait until the fourth quarter to take the final benchmark, but these are the indicators. That's our timer. For us, the way
044everything works is on the predictive model, on the data, and then whether they should be achieving. And so, when we look at that number, it tells us that more than half of our students are growing. So, we need them to continue growing through this fourth quarter, but then we need them to perform on the test. That is where the conversation about high-stakes testing, to me, begins and ends. The pressure of what that means, which we still have to jump through that hoop. But, we are preparing them as best as possible, and they will be ready. Um One thing I know I wanted to address, and that was my time, but this is essentially the last point, was the lab classes. So, um lab classes, uh when you become designated, um in any designation, but especially
045CSI, everything you do must be research-based. This is the state's way of saying, "We're not interested in your best guess of what to do. You must go research, find out what are schools doing, what are best practices." And then you have to go to the actual books, open the textbooks, and find out where the research says, "Do this, and these things will improve." And so, our lab classes, um is a we call this a a pot of gold at the end of the rainbow that a lot of high schools do not figure out how to do. Double dose means you get instruction in the subject. And so, for us, that's Algebra 1, that's English for 9th and English 10th grade, and our biology students. You go to a qualified, competent professional who gives you instruction.
046And then, we find a way to put you in front of another qualified, competent individual to take that same content, but look at your specific data. Those classes are rostered specifically. Those classes can change throughout the year based on the individual data of individual students. Which means that on a regular cycle, every 2 weeks, every month, uh, once every 3 months, what we are looking at that data and students who improve or show growth, they will move to either a different section or in some cases, if we find out you do not need the lab class, can come out. If we find students move in another direction, we put you in a different group that is more specifically suited to your needs. Doing that in the content area class will not work. Doing it in
047our lab classes, the way we've built them intentionally and structured them, those teachers have shared lessons, they have shared processes. I can scaffold exactly what you're doing except in a slightly different way if my group needs acceleration or if my group needs to slow down and revisit. And so this is our way of giving, uh, our educators, uh, actually a team because the data that is, uh, produced comes to us right now, we analyze, we do some work with our educators, we meet and discuss, uh, and then we talk about what the next steps in instruction should be. That's what our lab class gives us, gives us a double dose, a second opportunity every day, uh, and then to be clear because some, uh, people accidentally mistake that with a block period, a block period
048is not a double dose. That's what the research says. When we had block periods, I couldn't say, "Hey, I give them 45 minutes first and look, I give them a second 45 minutes in the same place with the same person." That does not count. What counts is I'm in this class, I'm evaluated in this class on whatever is happening here, and then you find a way to get me a second time. A lot of schools have a zero period, if you hear other schools, their students do not get credit for that. That is typically a 30, a 15 to 30-minute time period where if you don't need it, you get to go do some version of extracurriculars. And if you do, you have to go into classes. That's typically a zero period, it's not a
049credit-bearing course. Where we did it with Dr. Ryan's assistance is we made this an actual elective. So, I am getting an elective credit for being in this course. I am graded, but it is going along to help me with things that I'm going to need across all of my subjects, not just the Keystone, um but all of the subjects moving forward in high school. I don't know if we have time for questions, but that was our last slide. Just wanted to show you our night as well and let you know we >> Dr. Sanchez, can I ask a question? Or >> Yes, go ahead. >> Um just quick question on the labs. You were talking about how you guys can sometimes pull people out and move them around. On average, how often does that happen?
050>> Uh so, uh one of our successes was at the beginning of the year uh schedules were not as stable as we wanted them to be. So, there was a lot of movement. Um when you move between classes, I now have to figure out where did you leave off? What are you doing? I don't know what's happening. Um because teachers can deliver their content in different ways. With our lab courses, since everyone was rooted in the same thing, it actually you were going pretty much right to the same pace it through the first 3 months where we have a lot of movement. Moving forward after that, our movement was looking at numbers. Um we also checked uh classroom makeup because there were some that weren't good fits together. So, we had other movement. Um but
051we looked at all different sorts of data to make sure we then rostered people to other locations. And uh throughout the year, we were actually able to create one more section um and cut down the number of students in two others like a pressure release valve. So, Ms. Saccenti led the team to review the data to figure out who from two sections can come and coexist in one and then get their targeted support that they needed. >> Thank you. >> Uh so with the star assessments, I know that we heard previously that a lot of the students not a lot but students weren't necessarily taking them seriously because they didn't quite understand the importance of the test. And when I look at these initial scores I was like hold on. Even if a ninth grader
052was getting 9% in math 15% in senior year was wild work. But then I I could see that the growth was happening and so my question is is there a chance that the students are still just not understanding the significance of it and they're just kind of guessing on the test and just filling stuff in and that's why it doesn't because that growth is so substantial to where it starts off that it just makes me wonder is there fault in the actual star assessment itself? Did the data that's coming directly from it because the students aren't doing it properly? >> I feel like when you get any sets of data, there is some error that sort of corrects itself as you continue to go. Um the number of students who don't take it seriously uh
053to us is not the population that's driving the number uh and that's sort of evidence by when we give the Keystone a significant portion of them go to the extra testing time room. And I'll be honest, more than my last assignment as a principal. I've never really seen that many kids make it to extra time. If I don't care about a test, I'm finished before you read the instructions. >> Right. >> I'm done. >> Okay. >> Do we see heads down? Absolutely. Do we have you know have to encourage some people? Yes. Um yes, you may absolutely. >> Sorry. Sorry. >> Oh no, no. >> Okay, sorry. I just wanted to add in also that like our first benchmark was, you know, the baseline and whether kids took it seriously or not is we won't
054know. But um throughout the course of the year, we have data conferences with the kids, so they like we're able to take ownership of their score and the lab teachers actually conference with the students be like this is your score and then they set goals. So we saw the with piloting that with just the labs that we hope to implement that with all grades next year. We really saw a growth and a change in effort for all the students that were in labs knowing like, oh I got an 11 12 and my goal was an 11 30 and then the teachers like, oh well you met the goal and then they all celebrated. But I think giving the kids ownership of their data and being able to have that conversation was really helpful. Um another
055thing with the star is that our interventionist are able well everyone gets a report if the kid finished too quickly and they pulled kids and made them retake it. If they were if they were flagged like this kid may be a non-reader is what they will flag them as and you know, you're an 11th grade student you if you're a non-reader we have a bigger problem on our hands and then pulling that kid and putting them in the intervention room and making them do the test more like of a one-on-one then we saw their true score. So um it's been like a a group effort to kind of pilot this data-driven conferencing that we hope to see carried on next year. >> I will definitely say it does appear that the great that the percentage
056of growth is so dramatic that I'm eager to see where the the final scores end up. When will those be available? >> So our fourth benchmark is actually after our Keystone, so that window we're going to be doing June 1st and 2nd is our last benchmark, so we'll have we can have that data by June 3rd. And then the Keystone Yeah, the Keystones will come out in the summer, so we'll have we'll know all the effectiveness probably in July with the labs and have a better, you know, idea of how we can make them better next year. >> Thank you. Can I ask a question? Do you um compare uh each student like how they're doing in the lab versus how they're doing in the regular class? So, they have a math class or an
057English class and then they also have a lab class. So, do you look at both of those and say you know, make any assessments based on that uh are you seeing differences like you know, between the classes and grades and things like that? >> The most honest answer I can give you is there is a difference between my grade and my achievement ability level. Uh right now high schools across the country are fighting the fight about the grade because the grade is your collective effort. It's doing the work. It's everything that goes along with school. Um so, we look at all of those data points, yes, but in the lab course, things like the STAR and um the actual uh assessments that we make to measure where you are and then get to sit next
058to you and tell you that this is important and then watch you work, that's the achievement data. So, we sort of take that um as our map of okay, how do we do support you cognitively while the grade in a class represents uh a lot of different facets of being a student. >> Thank you so much Academy Park for your presentation. >> Yes. We are excited to tell you that we are writing the school plan for next year right now. Um so, we are very excited to um again, we know the next exit time when it's coming. So, um our plan went very well and we have been given support from both the DCIU uh and PDE because we meet with the state about this to take our plan and pretty much sort of replicate
059the action steps. We will tweak the goals based on July data that we get, um but we have been given permission to take those action steps, refine them, um but to do this again next year. And hopefully, when we get to start in August, um because everybody remembers the budget was not released by the state, and that kicked everyone back. And so, Humble Academy Park really began our work in January. So, this is data that we're excited is about 3 months of work. We did not get our full run from August. So, um we are eager for next school year when we get to start over the summer and be hit August running. Um so, you have to bring us all back. >> Uh I'm going to turn the meeting over to Dr. Sanchez for
060his report. >> Thank you, Madam President. Good evening, everybody. I do have a a few items that I would like to share with everyone. Uh continuing with the presentations for that we just heard from Sharon Hill on the high school. Across the district, we started our PSSA testing um in our elementary schools. And want to make sure that people understand the excitement, but also challenge that we are experiencing across the across the state. PSSA testing is now done online. Um Was it 2 days ago was the first day, and everyone was logged on and across the state to try to start their PSSAs. And there was a massive failure. Um the system had difficulties. Not going to I don't I don't work for the state, so I can't say what what the difficulties were, but
061I'm I want to applaud our principals. They didn't want to give up. So, we were given the out that we can pause and start the next day. Our principals chose not to, um waited out the challenges and were able to test on day one. We're one of the few schools that were able to make use of that first day. So, I want to thank all of the building administrators and the the staff that that hung in there even though during a scary time. PSSA testing is a high-pressure time for our teachers and our administrators. So, they they played the long game and they won. I want to give you more details related to the spring musical. So, President Barley encouraged you all to attend. Everyone that's here needs to go to one of the shows.
062And everyone who's here needs to make sure that you post on your social media and you get your family and friends to attend. Our kids break their back to get ready for that spring show. And what we need to do is show up and be able to enjoy about an hour and a half 2 hours of of our time watching young stars really light up the stage. So, I want to give you some details. The show is Anastasia. It's going to be held at the Academy Park High School Auditorium. Opening night begins Friday, April 24th, so tomorrow at 7:00 p.m. There will be two shows on Saturday, one at 12:00 and one at 7:00. And then the following weekend on Friday, May 1st, there's a the second weekend of shows at 7:00 p.m. Next Saturday,
063May 2nd at 12:00 and 7:00 p.m. You can go online and buy your tickets. So, it'll be an easy way for you to get in. So, I strongly encourage all of you. I look forward to seeing you there. And I just may be in an outfit that parallels the the show next weekend. I want to do some thank you shout-outs. Yesterday was Administrative Assistants Appreciation Day, April 22nd. I want to say thank you to all the administrative assistants across the district for all the all the work they do to make sure that we move forward every single day. They sometimes could be considered the unsung heroes. They really are the the reasons why many of us are able to do this the many things that we're responsible for is because we have wonderful administrative assistants
064that are that are supporting us. Raquel Irons, you're one of them. Thank you. Um I don't I also want to give one very special shout-out. Someone's probably not expecting it. Um so this individual is our 21st Century Grants and Special Projects Administrator. Her name is Leanne Hudson and she's actually sitting in the room. She's not expecting this. Um but we just received notice yesterday. Yesterday was a good day. Yesterday we received notice that we received a grant for $185,576. So it's a grant from PCCD for school safety and mental health. Um it's going to be able to support us to be able to provide Handle With Care training for our staff. It's going to be able to provide us funding to be able to buy sensory item for classroom and special ed buses. So kids
065have something that help them be able to navigate through um the challenges that they may have whether they're they're in a in a room that they're they're they're they're being set off for whatever reason or in the bus where they need some sensory items to be able to help them um navigate the the commute to school or just commute home. And then also it'll provide us funding for training for special education aids and PC aids to be trained on how to use the sensory regulation behavior um resources that we're going to get. So again to Leanne Hudson, thank you so much for the work. Um she works tirelessly to identify grants and make sure that um she figures out how to herd cats, how to bring bring different people together to be able to get
066these grant applications done. So big kudos to you. Now the last shout-out is to Leanne Hudson. So we received a certificate of recognition from the Pennsylvania Department of Education for our attendance with our 21st Century grant. Many of us know how Leanne is really high stress about making sure that we don't impact attendance for the 21st century and there's a real reason for that. They watch that and our funding is dependent on that. Um, but they watch it so much to the point that we're being recognized for the excellent work that we're doing and Eliane, thank you very much for for leading that work. Madam President, that concludes my report. >> Thank you, Dr. Sanchez. May I have a motion to approve tonight's agenda? >> I so move. >> Second. >> It has been properly
067moved and seconded. Are there any questions about the motion? Seeing none, all in favor? >> I. >> Any opposed? The motion carries. May I have a motion to approve the minutes from the March 26th, 2026 regular board business meeting? >> I so move. >> I second. >> It has been properly moved and seconded. Are there any questions about the motion? Seeing none, all in favor? >> I. >> Any opposed? The motion carries. May I have a motion to approve the treasurer's report and the bills for the amount of $5,378,186.24? >> I so move. >> Second. >> It has been properly moved and seconded. Are there any questions about the motion? Seeing none, all in favor? >> I. >> Any opposed? The motion carries. There is no, um, old or unfinished business this evening, so we

Are there any questions or comments on item C, human resources 1 through 18? Any questions or comments on item D, policies numbers 1 and 2? Dr. Sanchez, are there any public comments tonight regarding agenda items? >> Madam President, yes, we have. Um first I'd like to invite Raquel Irons to the mic. >> Good evening, everyone. Raquel Irons Sharon Hill. Um my comment, I don't have a question, but my comment is on HR number nine, approve the resignation of the following management employee, Dr. Yamile Sanchez Rivera. My um I've been raised to give people their flowers while they're still living. So, I
069want to speak a few words real quick and um so that if you should ever feel the need to wonder if you're appreciated, Miss Rock appreciates appreciates you, Dr. Sanchez. Um when I found out about a couple weeks ago, um I can't say I was surprised, but I was devastated. Um but I understood from our questions. So, I want to say you were one of the easiest people to work for. Um your willingness to jump in and help your employees at any time, your kindness, your patience, your willingness to or you have an an- uncanny knack to make people feel that their situation isn't it I'm sorry, am I bothering you? Oh, okay. You have a um a a a a a way of making people feel that they're that they're um important. Um so,
070to your new employees are very lucky, very lucky to have you. And I will leave you with esta no es un adios. >> Thank you very much, Ms. Irons. Now, I'd like to invite Ms. Margaret Rogers-Dean to the mic. >> Good evening. Uh Margaret Bing, Glenolden and Darby Township School and Federation, whatever. Um I did want to just say thank you to Dr. Sanchez. Um thank you for what you've done for the Federation. Thank you for seeing our needs and um welcoming us monthly with meetings and stuff and kind of helping uh me even learn what I'm doing and trying to believe in me when I wanted to turn my back. Um I just wanted to um I think you're the fourth superintendent since I've been here cuz it's going on like 18 years. But
071um I just you know really appreciate all that you've done um over your stay even from the time that we first met and you were just so easy to talk to and just kind of felt like okay. It's going to be all right. So, I wish you well in your new endeavors and we're always here if you need us. Um I did have three quick questions for the board with Dr. Sanchez leaving and now we're looking for another superintendent. Um one, have we started looking for a new superintendent? Will there be an interim? And what would be the timeline for the hiring process? So, those are like the questions that people kind of wanted to know. So, that's all I had tonight. Thank you. >> Thank you so much. >> Miss Cynthia Woodfolk >> So,
072Dr. Sanchez, I just want to say to you that when you came when you came to this district and you'd have changed a lot from this building to all the other buildings in this district. And you created your staff and had them work together. Your staff was not only working together, but they were like family. You uh uh you had a vision of your staff to move forward not only with uh uh the the uh uh the grades and the scores, they have been uh pretty good. Cuz I've been on this board for 12 years, and this is the best score that we had thus far. I understand why you're leaving. Because I wouldn't stay anyplace where I'm not appreciated. So, you take your vision and you take your experience, and you go and do
073what you have to do with a job that will appreciate you for all the things that you have done. I mean, take a look around what this man have done. Not only in this building, but he has done a lot in other buildings, too. So, uh I'm glad I got to meet with you. I'm glad I had a chance to work with you. And uh with your new job, if you need somebody to volunteer, I'm here. So, good luck to you. And I wish you well. Thank you. >> Thank you, Ms. Whitfield. That concludes the comments for the agenda items. >> Thank you, Dr. Sanchez. >> Wait a minute. Excuse me. There was another one that I forgot about. >> The It's but it's just for the second part, for the non-agenda items. >> Okay,

Mr. McGowan, do you have a report for tonight? >> I do, Madam President. >> Thank you. Good evening, uh board and community. I have a couple updates. We have a couple updates that uh items that move through both the chambers and the chamber and the different committees in the legislative area. Voted out of the chamber chamber, House of Representatives. Mental Sorry, mental health awareness, students and coaches, House Bill 1706, Representative Mary Jo Healy
077of Montgomery County. This legislation would require schools to refer any students who is a habitually truant, demonstrates an observable change in behavioral, or suddenly stops attending a school-sponsored athletic or extracurricular activity to their student assistance program, based on the presumption that such withdrawal is related to a mental health concerns. PIAA would also be required to revise their training courses for the coach to include mental health awareness. PSBA opposes H House Bill 1707. Two notable items have come that have been voted out of the committees. House Appropriation Committee, AEDs at interscholastic athletic events, Senate Bill 375. Senator Rosemary Brown, um this legislation requires school entities and non-public schools to have an AED at all PIAA interscholastic athletic events. It requires schools to participate or to establish or integrate a sudden cardiac event emergency action plan into
078existing emergency plans. PSBA originally opposed the bill, but worked with legislators to improve language and is now neutral on Senate bill 375. House Education Committee. Keystone Exam Alternative Feasibility Study, House bill 1752 by Rep. Gina Curry Delaware County. This legislation directs the Secretary of PDE to commission an independent study evaluating whether the ACT or SAT could be used as alternatives to the Keystone exams in literature, algebra one, and biology for high school students. PSBA supports House bill 1752. These items are all moving forward within the legislative processes and we and will need to be monitored to see if passed how we would implement these updated policies. Currently, there's no action needed as they are still working their way through the legislature. At this time, that concludes my report, Madam President. >> Thank you, Mr. McGowan.
079Does anybody have any questions for him on that report? Next, we'll move to the DCIU. Miss Womack, do you have a report for us tonight? >> Uh let's have one thing this year. Excuse my voice. Uh Good evening. I just want to share that on May 15th, the Delaware County School Boards Legislative Council will host its 2026 legislative breakfast on unfunded mandates. This event will bring together education leaders, policy makers, and community stakeholders for an important discussion on the growing impact of unfolded mandates on public schools. This event will be held from 7:00 a.m. to 9:00 a.m. at the DCIU in Morton on May 15th. That concludes my report, Madam President. Thank you. >> Thank you so much, Ms. Womack. Does anybody have a question? Okay. Um tonight for Delaware County Community College, I'll be
080giving that report tonight. Um so proud to say that the new Southeast Southwest Center is open. Um this event marked a meaningful step forward not just for the college, but for the whole community. The Southeast Center has already began working as serving as a hub for engagement and innovation. Delco board members got an opportunity for the college to thank them for their generous support. And during the visit, they saw how first hand how their contributions are enhancing student experiences, including the culinary program, where we observed the classes in action. In academic affairs, the college established a new program to program agreement with Thomas Jefferson University. This creates a seamless pathway for business administration students to continue into a bachelor's program in fields like accounting, finance, management, and marketing. Additionally, the community college is excited to
081announce the formation of a new chapter of the American Association of Women in Community Colleges. This initiative will support and empower women through leadership opportunities, collaboration, and professional growth. Overall, these updates reflect the strong and growing community college and that is deeply committed to student success, community partnership, and expanding access to opportunity. Does anybody have any questions? Mr. Kilkenny, do you have a solicitor's report this evening? >> Uh yes, uh thank you very much, uh Madam President. As always, our our office works closely with your staff, as evidenced by the agreement, the intergovernmental cooperation agreement between this and the Sharon Hill Borough, and the county redevelopment authority that was subject of your workshop meeting this past week. Also, too, I know it was a busy agenda this evening, but the board met in executive session
082to discuss a personnel matter, and obviously my firm provides some legal advice related to that, which I cannot go into. But, that concludes it to my report. >> Thank you, Mr. Kilkenny. Dr. Sanchez, are there any administrative team updates this evening? >> We do. We have a brief update related to the schedules for high school. >> Good evening. Just one quick update. We are progressing with our 2026-2027 Academy Park scheduling process. All the student requests have been gathered. That is my nightly bedtime reading on my Excel sheet. We are currently going through section numbers, seeing what requests, what problems we may have. The high school at the same time is beginning to work on who will teach what next year, and then we will merge the two of those documents together and create the schedule
083in PowerSchool in time for the board's request of the summer orientation for students. So, we are right now good to go with high school scheduling. One other plug real quick. I found out today that tomorrow, I believe for the first time, 35 of our high school students will attend the DCIU for our first venture into e-sports. We are looking forward to that and to see how they do in whatever they do in e-sports. So, So, we're happy that they're going and hope it's another avenue for kids to experience some extracurricular items that they might not have a chance to or might not meet their niche. If that's their thing. So, looking forward to it. Thank you. >> Thank you, Dr. Ryan. Dr. Sanchez, do we have any comments on non-agenda items tonight? >> We do,
084Madam President. I'd like to first invite Ms. Teresa Harris-Johnson to the mic. >> Good evening, Board. Teresa Harris-Johnson, Darby Township. Uh before you get started with that timer, uh I I just want to bring it to your attention that when a person is at this podium and that is interrupted by someone in the room, be the board member or solicitor, whoever, you stop that timer until that person has finished their conversation and then you start it up again. Because the last time I was here, that happened and that's was part of my 3 minutes. So, I just wanted to bring that to your attention. I'm going to make this face. Dr. Sanchez, congratulations. I'm glad you're leaving the board. This is this uh district. You're too good for it. You don't deserve all that has
085been happening and what would have happened if you stayed here. I know because I've been on this board for 14 years and I know where it's going. And I hope that when you start the superintendent's research, that you don't stay in house. You go outside and bring in some other people to um that you can be on that agenda and see if they are qualified for that position as a superintendent because that's a very responsible job and I'm not saying that someone in in the house isn't qualified but you should not just leave it to one person because that looks a little funny when you stay in inside the house and our last superintendent was only here not that long. What happened to the student advisory committee? That was something that was started voted upon
086by the board. Did the board vote that committee out? It was started by Raquel Irons. We followed it through as a board's vote. So in order for you to do away with it it has to be a board's vote. Not individuals on the board. Also I want to say to all of you that are board members. None of you are administrators. None of you have been superintendents, assistant superintendents or anything like that. You only have one person that I think that is an educator and that's Mrs. Mrs. Womack. You have to remember that the board sticks together. It's not one person, it's not two people who run this board and if you don't know what's going on on this board you're going to be lost. So you have to stay in your lane as school
087board members. Find out exactly what your responsibilities are as school board members. You don't run the board. You you have nine on the board. All nine of you should know what's going on at the same time all the time. Not two people, not three people, not one person. And if that is not done then you're going to run into a lot of problems in the in the near future. I don't need you to stop me. I know when to stop. Thank you. >> Oh my god. >> Miss Cynthia Woolfolk, invite you back to the mic, thank you. >> I just want to say to the new school board directors, the three of you, that I am uh asking you to get the Robert's Rules so that way you know what you can do and what
088you can't do. It's called Robert's Rules. And only reason why I'm saying this through the experience of me being on this board, there are certain people on this board that will do you in.
