SUPERINTENDENT’S REPORT: The Superintendent reported on the following:
a. Haley Conway made the suggestion to reopen Georgetown High School back up. Mr.
Conway would like the board to consider.
b. Superintendent Putty introduced the new principal at Georgetown Middle School
Mrs. Rhonda Schornick. Mrs. Schornick brings vast experience from teacher, Dean,
Title IX and RTI Coach. Ms. Putty commended GMS Site Base Council and they did
a very nice job. Congratulations!
c. Ms. Putty said over 300 teachers and not all of them from Scott County were at
RSMS for Technology Jubilee today. The Jubilee was a great success.
d. SCHS girls softball team went to State and represented Scott County well. We want
to recognize them and the coach at some point.
e. Task Force Committee would like to bring their suggestions to the Board for a new
high school. The Board agreed to have a Special Board Meeting so the Task Force
Committee could present their recommendations on June 25th at 5:30 p.m.
Superintendent Putty will send an email to Task Force Committee members of the
date and time and email Board Members the suggestions.
f. Mike Luscher gave an update on the cafeteria addition being on schedule and will be
ready when school starts. The new elementary is moving along well with water and
electric soon.
g. Assistant Superintendent of Student Learning Matt Thompson shared we have 135
teachers working on common assessments and will throughout the summer. The
teachers will work together four days. Every teacher has access to Continuous
Instructional Improvement Technology System (CIITS) across the state. Teachers
can create a test from our loaded information. Superintendent Putty said having the
vision over the last 3-4 years we have been building, working, sharing ideas and
giving best practice. We commend our teachers for the foundation we laid over the
last few years. We wouldn’t have these kinds of scores for the End of Course
Assessments without the hard work of our teachers. They analyze the work and see
that our kids are mastering those standards. Next year we will be looking at new
science standards. We just can’t say enough to the Board on how important it is and
how we are changing to a collaborative culture. We praise our teachers,
administrators and central office staff as we continue to work this summer; as we
continue to make the vision a reality.
