The 2009-2010 performance report for Union County Public Schools indicates significant gains across all subjects for students, notably with African American students meeting AYP goals in Reading and Math for the first time. Union County Middle School (UCMS) met all AYP measures for the first time in history. Despite meeting goals in reading and math for various student groups, challenges remain, particularly in special education and certain demographic segments. Continued focus on closing achievement gaps and improving graduation rates is essential for future success.

Success: A Roadmap for the future • District climbed from 161 to 87, and now from 87 to 71 • Continued progress although not to the standards of Union County • Must make up considerable ground to obtain Top 10 status • All Tier schools made significant progress • Gaps between subgroups were significantly reduced
Reasons for Success • Teachers • Instructional support staff • Students • Community Support • Belief that Union County and excellence should go hand in hand
Reasons for Success • Formative Assessment • Carnegie Math • Kentucky Association of School Councils (KASC) • Right people in the right places • Special thanks to KDE’s Special Education Department
Concerns: District • Although we made tremendous progress, we are still in NCLB consequences-must meet AYP 1 more year • The high school has not made satisfactory progress • Double digit number of NOVICE in the areas of Science, Math, and Social Studies • ACT scores • Elementary schools did not make satisfactory progress • Again, we must understand that this data is not an end, but rather a roadmap for future improvement
Needs for Continued Improvement • High performance mindset-Top 10 • High EXPECTATIONS for all stakeholders • RIGOR • Culture of high expectations • Response to Intervention (RtI) at every level • Improved instructional strategies • Use of existing formative assessment and curriculum specialist • Continued use of innovative Special Education strategies • Elimination of bureaucratic barriers
