Frameworks: New Castle County & Stevenson House Detention Centers

The ED is responsible for managing the overall educational process for students at the Detention Centers with responsibilities shared with the TA and teachers.

During Intake, the TA, under the direction of the ED, will administer the BASI, contact student’s School of Origin and other agencies for student records, and record BASI test results in the FACTS system –see In-Take/Transfer Checklist. The ED will utilize the Credit Recovery Worksheet –attached- in discussions with the School of Origin to identify any partial and full credit units completed by the student and to target possible future Credit Recovery efforts.

Student Placement in Class is immediate. Classroom teachers will administer curriculum based measures to validate BASI test results (ELA: SRI; Math: Saxon Math diagnostic test). At the next EPT meeting, within 5 days of admission, the ED (or Principal) will review all educational information, identify student weaknesses, prioritize student’s instructional needs, identify areas for possible Credit Recovery, and identify instructional goals to address BASI and other identified needs. Resulting recommendations and educational plans will be recorded by the ED on the EPT Meeting Form -attached. On-going Instruction targeted at identified student needs will be provided by teachers, and student performance data will be tracked and reported to the ED. The ED (or Principal) will convene EPT meetings to discuss student On-going RTI. Thus student educational programs will be actively monitored and adjusted at least every 4 weeks, and reflected on the updated EPT Meeting Form.

November 23, 2009 Page 1 Upon notification of potential student discharge, the ED at the next EPT meeting will compile information to assist with the smooth Transition of the student including possible completion of an Official High School Transcript form to document credits earned while in DSCYF. The TA will administer and record the BASI post-test results—minimum time-lapse of 6 months. For students returning to School, the ED will be the primary contact person between the Detention

Center and the school.

Upon notification of student transfer to Ferris School or the Cleveland White School programs, the ED will immediately fax the Transfer Packet information identified on the In-Take/Transfer Checklist to the receiving school with additional records forwarded by mail.
