Lighthouse Academy FROM THE DIRECTOR On behalf of all of us at the Ferris State University Charter Schools Offi ce (FSU-CSO), it is our pleasure to present the 2014-15 Annual Report. This publication offers a broad overview of the performance of the public school academies authorized by FSU and the work of the CSO.

While some basic performance data is included in this report, it was not practical nor our intent to include all data for each academy. Readers who wish to gather more information in this area are directed to the CSO website: ferris.edu/charterschools. It is there that one can fi nd a wealth of performance data on each academy over a period of years.

As an Authorizer of public school academies, Ferris State University strives to provide the highest quality of oversight and accountability consistent with best practice and State and federal law. We greatly appreciate your taking the time to get to know more about FSU-authorized academies and the extraordinary work being accomplished by caring and skilled educators throughout our State.

ANNUAL REPORT 2014/2015 7 HIGHLIGHTS & ACCOMPLISHMENTS 2014-2015

The Woodbridge Promise Program In summer 2015, the CSO partnered with the Ferris State University OfÞ ce of Transfer and Secondary School Partnerships to offer the Woodbridge Promise Program. Named after the founder of Ferris State University, Woodbridge N. Ferris, the program allowed juniors going into their senior year an opportunity to register for an eight-week summer program in which they could sharpen their skills in both math and English language arts in preparation for college and earn six college credits. Taught by adjunct professors from the University, the program was open to students attending either Consortium College Preparatory High School, or Michigan Collegiate High School. Students also had the opportunity to take an online class in fall 2015 to earn an additional three credits. Run as a pilot program, thirteen students enrolled in the course and earned tuition-free credit towards college.

Academy A student taking a Booster Grants break from a language In an effort to assist its authorized arts activity academies, the CSO offered at Allen Academy Booster Grants. Each Academy academy received a check in Detroit, equal to $5.00 per student Michigan. based on the fall 2014 count. While Academies were not told speciÞ cally how they had to spend the grant, they were asked to use the money to provide opportunities for students that they may not normally have been able to offer.

8 FERRIS STATE UNIVERSITY CHARTER SCHOOLS OFFICE A student enjoying her book at Voyageur Academy in Board Development Series Detroit, Michigan. In collaboration with the National Charter Schools Institute, the CSO instituted the Board Development Series which was made available to all FSU-authorized academy board members. The training materials are provided in a series of “decks” or presentations online and include four units: Orientation, Academics, Legal/Statutory, and Governance/ Leadership. Each unit contains from one to four lessons, and each unit is 20-30 minutes in length. Board members can view the presentations at their leisure while earning professional development credits.

Board Member Orientation

To strengthen boards, the board orientation process of FSU-authorized schools was revamped. Orientation now includes required viewing of Unit 1 (four lessons) of the Board Development Series. In addition, a new Board Handbook was developed which contains information speciÞ c to FSU as an authorizer, and resources and other information that board members can refer to quickly.
