PLANPLAN ACADEMICACADEMIC Adequate Yearly Progress Teachers, staff and students have worked very diligently to improve their academic performance. Adequate Yearly Progress (AYP) is the term used to describe whether a school has met its annual account- ability goals. Federal law requires schools to be evaluated in Reading, Mathematics and an additional academic indicator. State assessments are used to determine whether a school achieves AYP. For Alabama, this indicator is attendance in elementary and middle schools, and drop-out rate for high schools. The number of Mobile County Public Schools that make AYP continues to grow. In 2004, 41 schools made AYP, 61 in 2005, 82 in 2006, and 85 in 2007. The MCPSS District Made AYP and Is Not In School Improvement! • All schools met 90% or more of the AYP Goals. • Twelve of the 85 schools did not meet the Attendance Rate Goal of 95% and therefore did not meet overall AYP Status. (Attendance is calculated on the first 20 days after Labor Day) GOALSGOALS GOALSGOALS METMET Schools Making AYP for 2007 Alba Middle Hall Elementary Allentown Elementary Hankins Middle Austin Elementary Hollingers Island Elementary Baker High Holloway Elementary Belsaw - Mt.

Progress is being made in meeting the Federal and State standards for measuring the graduation rate as well as meeting the number one goal of the Mobile County Public School System – “All children can and will become pro- ficient learners who will graduate.” The State of Alabama uses a graduation rate formula to determine the Adequate Yearly Progress (AYP) status for high schools. Based upon that formula, eleven (11) of the fourteen (14) MCPSS high schools met or made adequate progress toward achieving the AYP goal of a 90% graduation rate. RATERATE NEXTNEXT STEPSSTEPS The Mobile County Public School System has worked collaboratively with the Mobile Area Education Foundation, the City of Mobile and the University of South Alabama to receive a planning grant from the Carnegie Foundation. This grant was used to formulate a plan to ensure that all students have access to a high quality, rigorous education and to improve academic results for the high schools. Plans are being designed to: • Increase Academic Rigor • Develop Career Pathways Secondary Program/Rigorous Curriculum • Develop and Implement Career Pathways PreK-12 Curriculum • Provide Systematic and Systemic Dropout Prevention Programs • Implement Feeder Pattern Collaborative Graduation Support • Focus on Workforce Development and Career Technical Education • Calculate MCPSS Graduation Rate Based Upon Freshman Class Data FORFOR SUCCESSSUCCESS SCHOLARSHIPSSCHOLARSHIPS Our graduating seniors shine in the scholarship arena. The amount of monetary awards earned by our students has increased from $54,791,977 in 2005-2006 to $71,730,276 in 2006-2007.

Noteworthy Improvements in Elementary Writing Mobile County Public School System students continue to WOW us with their writing skills. For the first time, two elementary schools scored in the 90’s on the Alabama Direct Assessment of Writing (ADAW): Calcedeaver Elementary jumped from 65% to 94% of students meeting standards, and Davis Elementary sailed from 86% to 91% of students meeting standards. Thomas Elementary improved 46 percentage points scoring 43% in 2006 and 89% in 2007.

From 1926 to 1932 Hutchisson worked in the office of his father, Clarence L.

During his career, he designed a variety of structures in the Mobile area.

Much of this genealogical correspondence took place with his cousin Annie Homer Wilson and pertains to the Homer family in Nova Scotia, Canada. Hutchisson died in December 1993.

Hutchisson Jr. In addition, the collection is made up of a wide selection of correspondence, both business and private, contracts, building specifications, blueprints, and other related architectural documents.

    Welcome to the 2014 Alabama State H.O.G. Rally Ride Page! SURVEY SAYS….. 68% come to the rally for the rides and 32% come for the events. Well, 68% of you should be very pleased. The 2014 Alabama H.O.G Rally is all about the rides from 8am to 2 pm. So get ready to get your knees in the breeze! We have 3 premier long rides and 3 shorter rides with all rides back to Mobile Harley Davidson by 2 pm so you won’t miss any of the 15 minute seminars that repeat starting around noon or demonstrations that don’t begin until 3:30 pm. Following are our ride details with links to detailed information in Harley’s Ride Planner, GPS files and PDF files. If you don’t have a profile set up in Harley Ride Planner, do it to view the rides in detail. The PDF files are an overview map with simplified driving directions in a 1 page format. If you want a color printed copy please print it out before you come. B/W copies will be available while they last at registration only. All of the routes have 2 parts. This is because Google apparently doesn’t hire bikers in the map division and their software just can’t understand our way of navigation. So bookmark http://mobilehog.com/statehogrally2014.html and keep coming back as it will be continually updated right up to rally time. You can go to the end of this booklet and check the revision dates to know if you have the latest version.
