Since the Coordinator of Library Services did not begin in her position until December 2017, parts of the pilot proposal now warrant review and revision. Progress has been made in many areas of the proposal, but not in all, as is evidenced in the following report. It is expected that, with the support of the district and the adoption of the Future-Ready Librarian Framework as part of the Future-Ready Schools Initiative, the Learning Commons model will continue to gain momentum and have a powerful impact on student learning. Successes: The following components of the Library Learning Pilot have been successful with staff and students ​ and should be continued: ● Flexible scheduling for the LMS in grades 3-5 so that collaboration and co-teaching can take place ● Makerspaces located in the K-5 Library Learning Commons so that all students have access to materials and equipment needed for innovative learning experiences ● Cost savings from shared resources and materials in a common makerspace. ● Flexible use of the K-5 Library Learning Commons for experiences that transcend traditional uses of libraries, such as the inclusion of a digital support center, recording and green screen studio, personalized learning spaces, and an area for 3D printing and design work. Considerations: The following components of the first year pilot were not fully realized because of the transition ​ to a new Program Coordinator in 2016-17, but need to occur in order for the Library Learning Commons model to continue to be successful as the pilot expands: ● Facility changes, and the costs associated with them, need be part of the Capital Improvement Plan ​ based on the 2016 approved Educational Specifications for each space. ● School Administrators need to schedule common planning time for the Library Media Specialist and ​ ​ classroom teachers in order to integrate full use of the space into curriculum and instruction. ● Professional development for Library Media Specialists needs to take place. The 2016 pilot proposal ​ included 18 hours of professional learning on Co-teaching, Collaborative Instruction, Coding, Computational Thinking and Design Thinking. Because of the mid-year transition to a new Coordinator, these were not planned and need to take place in 2017-19. ● Metrics must be developed that focus on the impact of innovative experiences on student learning. ​ ● If this model is intended to expand to the secondary schools (as was included in the original proposal) secondary principals must have training and be vocal in supporting the transition. ​ ​ Revised Timeline: The timeline will need to be shifted back by one year in order to meet the goals of the pilot. See ​ “Considerations” above to understand the reasons why the timeline needs to be shifted. See pp 9-11 for ​ timeline details. Policy E-001: Pilot Programs are defined as modifications of the Board’s approved curriculum utilizing different textbooks, instructional ​ ​ materials and/or instructional technology which are implemented across more than one classroom. At the Board’s discretion, Pilot Programs may be placed on the Board agenda for further discussion. ​ 1 THE GREENWICH PUBLIC SCHOOLS GREENWICH, CT OFFICE OF CURRICULUM, INSTRUCTION AND PROFESSIONAL LEARNING PILOT EVALUATION Pilot Title: Library Learning Commons Pilot Course Code (if applicable) School Level: PRE-K-12 Enrollment: 8,825 Introduction: In 2016, a Library Learning Commons pilot was approved by the Board of Education.

    RTM Education Committee Budget Report FY 2020-21: Submitted June 5, 2020 Your Education Committee met to vote on Item 3: the FY 2020-21 Budget on Monday, June 1, 2020. The Education Committee considers and votes on operating and capital budgets for the Board of Education, the Libraries, the Bruce Museum and parts of the Departments of Public Works, Parks and Recreation, and Health as they relate to the schools. We also consider the school lunch revolving fund, budget resolutions related to the schools and libraries, and the borrowing authorization for capital projects, including those related to the BOE. As in prior years, our coverage of the budget began in November as the Superintendent presented her proposed budget to the Board of Education. During our December, January, March, May and June meetings we heard presentations and updates from the BOE on the status of their budget. At our May meeting we had budget presentations from Greenwich Library and The Bruce Museum. Due to the Covid-19 Pandemic, we gave departments the option of submitting budget information via email. The Perrot Library, DPW, Parks and Rec, and Department of Health (special clinical/hygienists) all submitted budget information to us via email. Members of our committee took on liaison roles with individual schools, the libraries, and The Bruce. Each liaison met with the school building or department leaders to prepare a more in-depth report on their budgets. These are appended at the end of this report. Please realize that most interviews were completed before the BET’s budget was finalized, and the information contained in them may have changed.

  • Dear Members of the Public Health Committee
    Dear Members of the Public Health Committee, Typically during testimony, I would explain how this bill impacts my family specifically, but today I want to talk about the numbers. The whole impetus of this bill which aims to remove the religious exemption right now is not because of an emergency or public health crisis, but because of the possibility of one in the future. The Department of Public Health released vaccination data that shows an increase in the use of the religious exemption from one year to the next and “dangerous pockets” of low vaccination rates. I’ve poured over the numbers like children’s lives depend on it, because, frankly it does. The data I’ve used is from the Department of Public Health immunization surveys and the Department of Education’s student enrollment numbers for the 2018-2019 school year. But unfortunately there are many flaws in the data: • Using the supplied data and getting less than one child with an RE or percentages of a child. • Enrollment was less than 30 students and data was still supplied. • Schools with only Pre-Kindergarten students are used in the averages. I’m going to focus on the public school numbers since they are available from the State of CT EdSight database. For public schools, the increase from last school year to the previous year is an average of one religious exemption per public school. ONE. In the 2018-2019 school year there were 530,612 students in public K-12. With an overall exemption rate of 1.8%, that accounts for 9,551 RE.
