Superintendent Report
 Achievement Compacts
Superintendent Mulvihill presented the Ione Achievement Compacts in the board packets. Mark
said the document is research-based and reflects being part of a system. School districts will be
measured on student completion rates and attainment; at the K-12 level, how many kids are
graduating from high school? How many are working? Mark said that kids of poverty and color
are not achieving at the same level as other students, and many students have been priced out of
education in Oregon. A system of mediation has been created due to the lack of rigor in a
student’s senior year of high school. Mark reported that of those students in Oregon who have
received bachelor’s degrees, only 30-40% are homegrown Oregonians. Nationwide, the average
is 60-70%. Joe McElligott noted that completion does not only mean a bachelor’s degree, but
also technical (i.e., diesel mechanic) and vocational education. Mark said again that the
achievement compact is an investment document between Ione School District and OEIB, where
the district agrees to meet outcomes they have set at the local level for targets set by the state.
There are “on track” indicators at 3rd grade, 6th grade, 9th grade, and graduation, and a place to
include up to three local priorities. Mark suggested that Ione could include Pre-K as a local
priority.
It was agreed that at the May Work Session, Mark will present suggestions for local priorities,
the board will determine those priorities, and attempt to fill in the achievement compact. Mark
noted the May 1st and May 23rd Achievement Compact trainings hosted by IMESD for
component districts. Approval of the Ione School District Achievement Compact will be on the
agenda at the June board meeting, and compacts are due to OEIB July 1, 2012.

Mark went over the current matrix included in the board packets, and Jerry Archer made note of
