Describe how parents, community and other appropriate stakeholder members are involved in the development and/or revision of the plan.
Hardy County Schools works collaboratively with parent, staff and community members to evaluate our previous
year's five year strategic plan for its accomplishments and needs for continued improvement. Goals, objectives and
action steps are reviewed for their effectiveness, their usefulness and for their need to be continued and/or
revised. Goals and objective to improve the county's Career and Technical education program along with goals and
objectives for technology, Title I, Title II, Title III, Special Education, and Title IV are reviewed, adjusted and
included in the strategic plan. Action steps are added for the different programs and are identified with established
county goals and objectives.

Mission Statement Helping Children Succeed: Every One, Every Time Page 5 of 20 Page 6 of 20 Data Analysis Key Outcome Indicators:
Hardy County Schools continue to have a steady growth. The growth in the last 2 years was not as significant as it had
been in previous years. Our schools have seen a significant increase in Latino students while our white and black student
populations have remained basically the same in proportion to each other. The social and behavioral issues in our schools
have also remained relatively the same with few incidents of high level criminal activitiy. Economically, our county has
seen some decrease in employment opportunities due to a cabinet factory decreasing its labor force. All of our schools
made adequately yearly progress in the 2007-08 school year. Hardy County Schools will need to continue to address issues that impact student achievement for all students, to strive
to provide a teaching staff that is 100% highly qualified, to address the economic and social issues that prevent our students
from maximizing their learning potential and to implement strategies that will encourage the involvement of our parents and
community to become partners with our schools in the education of their children.
External Trend Data:
Overall, West Virginia has seen a downward trend in school enrollment in our school systems. However, Hardy County
has seen a steady growth in its student population with our Latino student population taking a strong lead in the subgroup
that is showing the greatest growth. With the growth in our Latino population, we have seen an increase need to provide
services to both students and their families to assist them with the language barrier that prevents them from achieving to
their potential.
Hardy County Schools will be opening a new intermediate school during the 2008-09 school year to help with the
overcrowding at our elementary and middle schools. With the addition of the new facility, additional staff and services will
be needed to provide not only for our additional Latino students but for all of our students attending the new school. Locating and employing highly qualified teachers will become an issue with the opening of the new school.
Hardy County has a relatively high population of persons who are retiring and returning to the county to live. This
provides a pool of individuals from which we can secure resources and assistance to help our schools. However, many of
them do or will qualify for reductions in their homestead taxes due to their age. This reduction may impact the tax base that
helps to support our schools. This issue does not seem to be making a major impact on the school at this time and hopefully
will not in the future.
Hardy County's economy is based largely on blue-collar work. We are a county of agriculture and manufacturing plants. The county has recently seen a decline in its employment opportunities with the decrease in employees at a cabinet making
factory. The county does not have extremes in the financial status of its citizens. We have a fairly relative wage rate in all
the industries. The county has remained capable of providing employment for most of our students who wish to remain in
our county after graduation. However, students wishing to remain in the county must be aware of choosing a career path
that will allow them to find employment in a more narrow list of possible opportunities.
The median family income for families in Hardy County is relative to other parts of the state. Hardy County is reflective
of the trends throughout the state and nation regarding single family homes. We continue to see the trend of both parents
working and students joining the work force at about sixteen years of age. The school system continues to see a need to
reach out to our parents and community to encourage them to become partners in the education of our children. The needs
of our Latino families are bringing up issues that will need to be identified and dealt with.
Many of the students in Hardy County's high schools go to work at sixteen. This time dedicated to their employment has
decreased the time available for working on school work. Many students are also overextending themselves in sports
programs and commuities activities that decreases the time they have available to concentrate on school needs. Therefore,
our students do not regulate the amount of time that is spent on out of school activities relative to the need to be at home
completing academic activities.
Student Achievement Data:
WESTEST DATA: The 2007-08 WESTEST data reports that all five schools in Hardy County made adequate yearly
progress (AYP). East Hardy High School reported an outstanding student achievement performance in all three content
areas. The other 4 schools also indicated growth in student achievment in their content areas.
The county is showing a growth pattern in the LEP subgroup which is going to need some attention to ensure that these
Page 7 of 20 Page 8 of 20 students make adequate yearly progress. In addition, the SES subgroup continues to indicate success with AYP only
through confidence intervals or averaging in some schools. Both of these subgroups will need attention during the 2008-09
school year to ensure adequate progress.
Other Student Outcomes:
Attendance: Schools in Hardy County continue to have an excellent attendance rate for all schools. The average
attendance rate for the county is 97.165% for this year. Our attendance director along with school personnel reported 832
attendance interventions for FY 08. There were 678 five day letters sent out and at least 221 CA2 letters were sent to
parents regarding attendance problems with our students. Hardy County Schools had a good year for attendance. The
attendance director reported excellent cooperation from each school from both clerical and administrative staff. Attendance
incentives were implemented in schools and were very successful in helping to maintain our high level of student attendance. Discipline report: Schools in Hardy County have reported behaviors in the high schools that are basically reflective of
violations of school rules and the student code of conduct. These behaviors include disruptive and disrespectful behaviors,
display of affectionate behaviors, fighting, indecent language and derogatory remarks and actions. Some more serious
issues have involved knives with more than a 3 and 1/2 inch blade, battery and harrassment. However, the overwhelming
behaviors are more disruptive and disrespectful actions. The middle and elementary schools also reported behaviors of a
disruptive and disrespectful nature. Actions taken regarding these violations included detentions, suspensions, expulsions,
conferences with parents, behavior contracts and verbal reprimands.
Drop Out Rate: The number of students who made a decision to leave school during the 2007-08 school year was
35. Twenty -five of these students were from Moorefield High School and 10 were from East Hardy High School. These
students gave a variety of reasons that covered the entire spectrum of choices available. These students represent an
increase in the number of students making this choice from our schools. The group involved students from the special
education subgroup as well as students from the regular education programming. LEP Students: Hardy County has seen a significant growth in students who are in the limited English proficiency
subgroup. The group is largely made up of Latino students who either speak only Spanish or only beginning to develop the
skill to speak English. Most of the parents of our Latino student population are non-English speaking and are not moving
towards aquiring English as their language for communication. We do not have any schools who meet the subgroup
requirement of 50 students but the county will be held accountable for this subgroup as it continues to grow.
College Going Rate:
The students graduating from Hardy County high schools continue to choose to go on to college. However, state statistics
from the ACT News do indicate a concern that students in WV are struggling with college English composition, college
algebra, college social studies and college biology. Culture and Conditions:
Adequate Yearly Progress: All five schools made adequate yearly progress (AYP) in 2006-07. Moorefield Middle
School made AYP but continues to identified for school improvement due to the special education subgroup not makingA
adequate improvement. Our special education, SES and LEP subgroups continue to present possible problems with student
achievement and will need to be followed closely for student achievement growth.
Special Education Monitoring: The special education self assessment resulted in numerous findings for
improvement. There were 13 compliances met, 14 compliances not met and 6 compliances needed improvement. The
findings ranged from not meeting deadlines to not appropriately completing individual education plans for students. A need
for professional development for teachers of special education students was identified as a corrective action to implement
for immediate improvement.
A plan of improvement was submitted that must correct all deficiencies during the 2008-09
school year.
Federal Program Monitoring: Title I, Title II, Title III, Title IV were monitored during the 2007-08 school year
resulting in findings related to highly qualified teachers, lack of notification to the public regarding Title IV
programming and a recommendation for a more efficient monitoring of finances in these programs. Overall, the monitoring
report was very positive with commendations and recognitions for the federal programs.
Highly Qualified Teacher Report: Hardy County School's report for highly qualified teachers indicated that the county
has 99% of their teachers considered to be highly qualified for the 2007-08 school year.
Page 9 of 20 Digital Divide Report: Hardy County Schools continues to move towards upgrading its operating systems in their
computers in the schools.The goal for the 2008-09 school year is to increase by 10% the number of computers in the system
to at least Windows XP or above that are capable of this upgrade. We have miniminal computers that presently have
VISTA at this time. Professional development activities have included the use of computers in the classroom, the use of
email and other communication devices, the use of whiteboards in class activities, webpage development, the use of excel,
how to get around Windows, on-line banking, the use of digital camera, SAS, Thinkfinity, and techSteps. The goal for
professional development for the 2008-09 school year is to increase by 25% the number of teachers who have been trained
in strategies for use of technology as well as to implement 21st Century learning skills.
The OEPA Checklist should be one source of data to assess school or county needs as you prioritize your strategic issues. There are no negative consequences to checking “No” to a
high quality standard since the checklist is not used for changing accreditation or approval status or selection for on-site reviews.
OEPA Analysis Hardy County schools as well as all 5 schools made adequate yearly progress during the 2007-08 school year. The
county has a school improvement plan in place that addresses student achievement, professional development, recruiting,
retaining and retraining teachers to insure highly qualified teachers. The instructional staff uses the most recent content
standards and objectives and have been trained in researched based instructional strategies that are implemented daily in
order to ensure maximum student progress. Hardy County Schools meets all the OEPA standards. Prioritized Strategic Issues 1. To maximize strategies for sound fiscal management
2. To expand and insure school safety in all schools
3. To continue to improve student achievement for all students
4. To expand school community partner relationships.

Page 14 of 20 The use of technology in Hardy County is designed as a systemic approach to increase the availability of services while
assuring equity within all of the schools. The focus is not only to place computer hardware and software in the hands of
students and teachers but to provide them with the staff development that makes the computer and software instructional
tools in the daily activities in the classrooms. The aim of the system is to provide our students not only with the computer and
software knowledge to use these pieces effectively but also to enable them to be competitive in the 21 Century workplace
market. Not only is technology emphasized with students and teachers, our principals, secretarial, custodial, and cafeteria
staff are expected to meet standards of use in order to perform their duties. The effective and competent use of technological
hardware and software has become a systemic goal of Hardy County Schools. The county and school technology plans provide a description of how the county and schools plan to allocate adequate resources to provide students
with equitable access to 21st century technology tools, including instructional offerings and appropriate curriculum, assessment and technology
integration resources aligned to both the content and rigor of state content standards as well as to learning skills and technology tools. The plans
include the various technologies that enable and enhance the attainment of 21st century skills outcomes for all students. How we plan for technology in
our county and schools is based upon the validation from research-based evaluation findings from previous West Virginia-based evaluation projects.
In addition, through the technology planning process, the county and schools continue to study and include emerging technologies for application in a
twenty-first century learning environment. The purchase of technology through state contracts provides for uniformity in technological hardware and
software standards and procedures. State provided anti-virus protection software helps to ensure network security and integrity. Expanded bandwidth,
along with additional local, state and federal funding, provide increased ability for the county to ensure that the capabilities and capacities of the
technology infrastructure are adequate for acceptable performance of the technology being implemented in the public schools. As an additional benefit,
the county and schools enjoy the opportunity to purchase from state contracts that allow us to be able to take advantage of appropriate bulk purchasing
abilities and to purchase from competitively bid contracts.
An added benefit for our county and school data collection and reporting to the Department of Education and to the federal government is WVEIS, the
state-provided comprehensive statewide uniform integrated education management and information system. Also developed by WVEIS, the online
county and school’s technology plan’s structure allows flexibility to adjust the plan based on developing technology, federal and state requirements and
changing local school and county needs. The online county and school technology plans are developed in compliance with United States Department
of Education regulations and Federal Communications Commission requirements for federal E-rate discounts. The county and schools also continue to
seek applicable federal government funds, philanthropic funds, and other partnership funds (or any combination of these types of funds) to augment state
appropriations and encourage the pursuit of funding through grants, gifts and donations.
Some technology initiatives in schools and counties may not be adequately addressed in the goals/objective/strategy section of the technology planning
section. The county and school narrative allow planning teams to structure a framework/narrative description to describe how the county and schools
will allocate adequate resources to provide students and teachers to twenty-first century technology tools.
Page 15 of 20 Schools and counties should analyze digital divide survey reports as a needs assessment for technology planning.
Digital Divide
Summarize concerns from the analysis of the survey.
The ratio of computers to students in Hardy County Schools has increased over the last five years. There has also been a
movement toward upgrading the operating systems to Windows XP. However, more work needs to be done towards
upgrading to the most current operating system. Hardy County has reported 186 student computerw Windows XP or higher.
This is an increase in computers which have an operating system of XP or above than what was reported the previous year.
Even with this increase, the county needs to continue to upgrade their computers to Windows XP or above. In addition, the
county needs to explore the use of distance learning and virtual schools classes in order to bring about more class offering to
the student population. Infrastructure has also improved with upgardes to wiring, wireless access points, and servers,
but continued and ongoing upgrading of wiring and hardware also needs be addressed. Also, training in the integration of
computers and other 21st Century technology into classroom activities needs to increase. Both teachers and administrators
need to be more directly involved in training that will increase their knowledge and improve their skills in using computers
as classroom tools.
Hardy County Schools is moving towards replacing the COMPASS program with Odessey. The instrucitonal staff is much
more enthused over the new programming and believe that it holds more potential for student achievement. The county will
continue to replace COMPASS, to upgrade servers and hardware as well as purchase whiteboards and provide appropriate
training for all staff.
