Welcome Barbara Salamone Mrs. Salamone introduced herself and Assistant Principal Michele Taylor.

Ice Breaker Michele Taylor Mrs. Taylor asked the table groups to share favorite place they have lived and why. Each table group then shared some of the favorite places members have lived. SBIC Purpose and Responsibilities Barbara Salamone Mrs. Salamone gave an overview of the SBIC’s purpose and the responsibilities of the members. She stressed that this committee serves in an advisory role for Stinson and we welcome the input of all members. The committee plays a big part in reviewing campus educational goals and looking at student achievement based on those goals. Mrs. Salamone also shared with the committee how lucky Stinson is to have such a diverse community. The ESL handout was shared. It shows the number of languages represented at Stinson, and the number of students served by our ESL department. She also shared how the Family Science Night came from ideas of the members of last years SBIC committee. Plano Effect Score (PES) Barbara Salamone Mrs. Salamone explained the Plano Effect Score. This was designed because Plano scores, on MAP, are above average and the district wanted a way to measure district success and growth. She shared that teachers use the PES scores for the grades level along with the student’s RIT ranges on MAP to plan instruction.
Campus Improvement Plano ISD Document A Michele Taylor Mrs. Taylor explained the projections for the 2009-2010 school year. This document looks at where we want all of our students to perform based on the 2009-2010 accountability measure. Stinson’s projections are for all our students to again perform in the exemplary range. A projection was set for all of our represented student groups even if they do not have enough students for consideration on our AEIS report. These numbers were based on the District Based Improvement Committee Plan for 2009-2010. A copy of this plan was presented to all SBIC members. Campus Improvement Plano ISD Document B Barbara Salamone The goals for 2009-2010 in the areas of reading, writing, science and math were discussed. Mrs. Salamone shared successes of the 2008-2009 school year, as well as new goals that were added. She also explained how some goals carry on each year as they are good goals for student progress. Mrs. Salamone explained how Small Group Reading Instruction was successful with our kindergarten students last year and we plan on training the first grade teachers this year. Some committee members addressed questions/concerns about the math curriculum, especially at the K-2 levels. Members commented on articles in the news this past summer that reported about low state standards. Attached is another article that appeared in the Dallas Morning News the day after our meeting. Mrs. Salamone talked about the tremendous accomplishments in writing, after the 4th grade teachers incorporated Empowering Writers. The 1st, 2nd, 3rd and 5th grade teachers have now been trained in Empowering Writers and have already started incorporating the strategies in their writing instruction while continuing to stress the 6 traits of writing. Kindergarten will begin using Empowering Writers this year. Finally, Mrs. Salamone explained the violence prevention action plan. These goals previously fell under the heading of citizenship. She told the committee that every school in Plano has to create a plan to address bullying should it occur on campus. She also talked about Stinson Cares, and how it will look for the 2009-2010 school year. This is a program done in collaboration with the Stinson PTA. The Stinson Cares will use kindnesses to buy animals for impoverished nations, through the Heifer International Program. Mrs. Salamone thanked everyone for participating in the meeting. Minutes will be distributed to all members.
