3 Notes on Education Leadership


From the Education Innovation blog:

  • Big difference between letting people try and fail and letting them become failures. One is leadership, the other is neglect.

  • If you aren’t willing to be wrong, fail, admit it, learn from it, and encourage that in others…you are not ready to lead.

  • Leadership doesn’t have to be about changing the world…Leadership can be about changing someone’s day

South Pointe's SPIN Does It Again!


SPiN Named Best Student Newspaper!

April 24, 2012

South Pointe in the News (SPiN) earned another South Carolina Scholastic Press Association Palmetto Award for best newspaper in its class this year. The SCSPA divides newspapers into four classes based on attendance. Forty-eight journalism students attended the annual SCSPA Spring Conference and Awards yesterday at the University of South Carolina.

Sports editor Wade Hopper and reporter Katherine Johnson were awarded Best Sports Story for the year in the Excellence in Scholastic Newspaper Awards (ESNA).  Layout/design editor Erin Fields earned second place for the year in the state for advertising.  Josh Davidson placed third for reviews in the spring ESNA's.

All the scholastic newspapers compete for these presigious yearly ESNA's in two divisions, based on attendance. SPiN, however, was accidentally placed in the division for schools 1,551+ and still brought home these two awards.

Sophomore Shelly Resificar won a $500 scholarship from the South Carolina's Lieutenant Governor's 2012 Bridging Generations Journalism Contest, which also awarded her Journalism I teacher Cindy Koon $250. 

Also, in Columbia, SPIN opinion editor Marie Ealy was elected to the SCSPA board for 2012-13 as the Online Representative, as was Journalism I and Creative Writing I student Kaelyn Jiran for Magazine Representative.

SPIN's online edition, SPIN Wired, was awarded a Superior Rating, the top rating awarded in the new division.

Rock Hill Schools April Business Meeting Notes

The Rock Hill School Board held its April Business meeting on Monday, April 23, 2012.

Laurie Benson and Dave Keely spoke to the board under citizen participation about the importance of adding additional teeth to the proposed wellness policy the board was considering. This is the first time in 14 years there have been any citizen comments on a proposed board policy.

Dr. Martha Edwards made a presentation to the board on the connection of wellness to student performance and gave examples of school districts that have implemented wellness policies and programs and how they have been able to increase academic performance and reverse the national trend of obesity.

Dr. Moody talked to the board about how a balanced wellness policy was much more than food service and included; nutrition; physical activity; health; and life style choices (tobacco, alcohol, drugs).

The board took the following action:

  • Approved the agenda with a 7-0 vote
  • Approved the administration's recommendation to promote Christopher Roorda, currently an Assistant Principal at Finley Road, to the Principal's position at Finley Road for the next school year. (Current Principal Al Bogan is retiring). The vote was 7-0
  • Approved the consent agenda with a 7-0 vote (minutes, personnel recommendations, 6 facility requests, a field study request for York Road Elementary School to go to Knoxville, TN.)
  • The board voted 5-2 (Vining and Moe against) to approve Wellness Policy - ADF for second and final reading. This came after the board defeated a motion to table until the May business meeting with a 3-4 vote (Norwood, Reid, Douglas, Brown against). Vining asked to table so comments made by Dr. Moody could be added and to clean up some policy limits other board members had suggested. Those voting against said they didn't want to discuss the policy any more.
  • The board voted 7-0 to move the May business meeting to Tuesday, May 28 to avoid a conflict with Memorial day.
The board recognized:
  • The April "Distinguished Climbers"
  • The Future Business Leaders of America Team at Rock Hill High. Charleigh Caldwell - 1st place in Client Services, Dylan Baker, Drew Bridges and Jake Walker - 2nd place in Business Presentation,  advisers: Lisa Tompkins, Pam Poag, Jennifer Molnar, Carolyn Lesslie and Paula Hough.
The board heard the following reports:
  • Ebinport Elementary School had several students showcase their Spanish language skills.
  • Richmond Drive Elementary School reported on their summer reading coalition involving the South Carolina Diversity Leadership Institute and the York County Library.
  • A brief report on the district's 135 day student count was made (numbers are up only because the district added 90 students in 4K. A comparison of year to year numbers for K-12 shows a decrease for  the second year in a row.)
  • The Superintendent reported on Leadership Development initiatives underway in the district.
  • The Superintendent reported food service outsourcing questions have been posted on the district's web site as well as the proposal request for food service.

Wellness Policy - Administrative Rule - Programs

I've received some comments since my post on a vision for wellness earlier in the week. While that "vision" came while researching wellness policies, it is program - not a policy. That vision could be done today if the right groups will come together to start the planning.


The policy the board is considering should lay out the vision/goals and legal requirements. It should not be full of details.


The administrative rule should have the details the administration needs to comply with policy legal issues and to meet the vision/goals of the board, as outlined in the policy.
----------
On another topic, loosely related to nutrition, The Herald had an article about outsourcing food service on Wednesday of this week. Fellow board member Jane Sharp and I were quoted as follows:


"At Sharp’s urging, Superintendent Lynn Moody agreed to add parent and community voices.

Sharp and school board member Jim Vining said they were surprised to learn that the two people added to represent those views have close ties to the district.

Read more here: http://www.heraldonline.com/2012/04/18/3902947/rock-hill-schools-urged-to-be.html#storylink=cpy




Vining said he was “amazed” to hear how the committee was comprised.

“I don’t think it meets the test of community representation,” he said. “About half the committee should be people without that close a tie to the district.”
Still, Vining said he values the committee members’ judgment and expects them to “make the right decision.”

Read more here: http://www.heraldonline.com/2012/04/18/3902947/rock-hill-schools-urged-to-be.html#storylink=cpy




As a point of clarification, I don't have a problem with the committee or the district's process for evaluating possible food service replacements. I did have a problem saying the committee had significant community representation, something the district has not done. I do support getting community involvement whenever possible so we can reinforce these are "community" schools.

Never-the-less, the public comments did create some internal "board" discussions. Here is an example:

"It's nice to see we have started having our meetings on the front page.  This is not the way to air this out.  At least it is not the way we have worked through these things in the past. 
By the way, you both seem to think this is going to be some kind of panacea for our kid's health. You both would be wrong. 
It is out of line to beat up the administration in the paper.  Maybe you should have the guts enough to do it when we are all together." 

What I like about this board member is you pretty much  always know where they stand - which is a good thing. They raise some good questions. Should board members discuss issues outside of meetings? Should board members ever talk to the press? The chair is the only "official" spokesperson for the board. Questions the board should try to resolve at a retreat sometime.
-------------
The proposed wellness policy will be up for second and final vote at this Monday's School Board work session. A little over a month ago, I sent the administration this recommendation, which is basically the SC State School Board Model Policy with a few revisions:

Policy

WELLNESS POLICY

Code   ADF Issued Draft 2012
 

Purpose:  To establish the basic structure for the promotion of wellness in all schools in the district.

The Rock Hill School District is committed to providing a school environment that promotes and protects children’s health, well-being and ability to learn by supporting healthy eating and physical activity.

The District will  ensure the following.
  • Child nutrition programs (e.g., school lunch, school breakfast, after school snack and summer food service programs) will comply with federal, state and local requirements and will be accessible to all children.
  • Qualified child nutrition professionals will provide all students with access to a variety of affordable, nutritious and appealing foods that meet the health and nutrition needs of students.
  • All foods and beverages sold or served on campus will comply with the current USDA Dietary Guidelines for Americans.
  • All foods made available on campus will adhere to food safety and security guidelines.
  • The school environment will be safe, comfortable and pleasing and will allow ample time and space for eating meals.
  • Nutrition education will be offered  as a part of a sequential, comprehensive standards-based health education program designed to provide students with the knowledge and skills necessary to promote and protect their health. 
  • Students will be given opportunities for physical activity during the school day through physical education (PE) classes, daily recess periods for elementary school students, physical activity breaks and the integration of physical activity into the academic curriculum.  
  • Schools will not withhold food or beverages as a punishment.
  •  Local wellness policy goals will be considered in planning all school-based activities (such as school events and field study trips.
  • The district will maintain a Coordinated School Health Advisory Council (CSHAC) to assess, plan, implement and monitor district and school health policies and programs. The council will be comprised of members of the community, school representatives, students, parents, district food service employees, district health education and physical education coordinators, district nursing coordinators and school board members.
  • Schools should have a local coordinated school health committee comprised of students, physical education, health education and classroom teachers; school food services managers; health services personnel; guidance personnel; families; administrators and community members to plan, implement and improve nutrition and physical activity in the school environment in accordance with the district wellness policy.
