The above statute specifies ten areas that must be addressed by the plan.  A separate section is devoted to each area in Charlotte County Public Schools:  Comprehensive Plan.

 

Introduction:

 

Charlotte County Public Schools:  Comprehensive Plan updates objectives set forth in the Charlotte County Public Schools 2005-2011 Six Year Improvement Plan Outline  (Appendix A) and includes annual Administrative Goals By Department (Appendix B).

 

Vision:

 

Charlotte County Public Schools is dedicated to safety, service, and student success!  This vision is measured by goals and objectives in school safety, student outcomes, teacher effectiveness, and service and facility efficiency.

 

Mission:

 

Our mission is to cultivate “21st century-ready” students, faculty, and staff with a passion for life-long learning.  Long-term educational goals were established with Charlotte County Public Schools 2005-2011 Six Year Improvement Plan Outline.  Assessment and evaluation of progress on these goals are ongoing and reviewed by the Charlotte County School Board annually.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

§22.1-253.13:6. Standard 6.  Planning and public involvement, Section B.

Sections (i) though (x)

 

 

Section (i):     The objectives of the school division, including strategies for first improving student achievement, particularly the achievement of educationally at-risk students, then maintaining high levels of student achievement.

 

Long Term Education Goals were established in the 2005-2011 Six Year Improvement Plan Outline, October 2005.  (Appendix A)

 

Specific goals and objectives are documented in Appendix B.

 

Section (ii):    An assessment of the extent to which these objectives are being achieved.

 

At least annually the Charlotte County School Board reviews these goals, assessing the extent to which each objective has been achieved. 

 

Each school year, administrative goals are reviewed by the Charlotte County School Board with documentation of the status of achievement (Appendix B).

 

Each school submits a School Improvement Plan annually; these are used to assess progress and update goals/objectives for the 2005-2011 Six Year Improvement Plan Outline, October 2005 (Appendix A) and the Administrative Goals by Department (Appendix B)

 

Section (iii):   A forecast of enrollment changes.

 

Student enrollment in Charlotte County Public Schools has declined over the past years.  Fall membership enrollment in 2006 was 2116; in 2007, 2102; in 2008, 2065; in 2009, 2077.   Major industries have closed during the past five years, causing some families to relocate.  With the current economic downturn, enrollment is not expected to significantly increase.

 

Section (iv):   A Plan for projecting and managing enrollment changes including consideration of the consolidation of schools to provide for a more comprehensive and effective delivery of instructional services to students and economies in school operations.

 

To consider the decline in student population and aging facilities, a Facilities Planning Committee was established in 2004.  Extensive study and planning resulted in a proposal to the Charlotte County School Board in October of 2006.  (Appendix C).  On June 10, 2008, the Charlotte County School Board also reviewed a request by the County Administrator to approve a Request for Qualifications (RFQ) for renovation of the Randolph-Henry High School auditorium. The Board discussed requesting a resolution from the Board of Supervisors to support this project, not to exceed $2.5 million and to request a meeting with the Board of Supervisors to prioritize planned school construction projects of the Charlotte County School Board.  To date, no formal action has been taken.

Section (v):    An evaluation of the appropriateness of establishing regional programs and services in cooperation with neighboring school divisions.

 

 

Charlotte County Public Schools is involved in a number of regional programs, including:

 

The Governor’s School of Southside Virginia

The Southside Pre-engineering Academy

Region VIII No Child Left Behind Partnership

Region VIII Technology Grant

Southside Virginia Technology Consortium

Dual Enrollment Articulation Agreements with Southside Virginia Community College

Virtual Virginia

Virginia Advanced Studies Strategies-AP

 

 

Section (vi):   A plan for implementing such regional programs and services   when appropriate.

 

Participation in, and implementation of, regional programs is evaluated through the Region 8 Superintendent’s Advisory Committee, the Superintendent and instructional administrators in Charlotte County Public Schools and instructional leaders of the cooperating schools/agencies.

 

Section (vii):  A technology plan designed to integrate educational   technology into the instructional programs of the school division, including the school division’s career and technical education programs, consistent with, or as a part of, the comprehensive technology plan for Virginia adopted by the Board of Education.

 

The Charlotte County Public School Technology Plan 2003-2009 is on file

and available for public review.  The division technology committee is currently

updating this plan while awaiting further information from the Virginia Department

 of Education.  The current plan is available on the division website, www.ccpsk12.org.

 

 

 

Section (viii): An assessment of the needs of the school division and   evidence of community participation, including parental participation, in the development of the plan.

 

As detailed in the strategies specified in Goal 4 in the 2005-2011 Six Year Improvement Plan Outline (Appendix A), community and parent participation in assessing needs and developing plans are evident in the formal partnerships, including the Charlotte County Chamber of Commerce/Business Partnership, the Federal Programs/Early Learning Center Advisory Committee, the School Health Advisory Board, and the Exceptional Child Advisory Committee.  Public forums are scheduled as needed to discuss proposed changes or needs within the school division.

 

 

Section (ix):   Any corrective action plan required pursuant to §22.1-253.13:3.

 

All schools in Charlotte County remain fully accredited.  Therefore, no corrective action plan is required at this time.

 

Section (x):    A plan for parent and family involvement to include building successful school and parent partnerships that shall be developed with staff and community involvement, including participation by parents.

 

As detailed in the strategies specified in Goal 4 in the 2005-2011 Six Year Improvement Plan Outline (Appendix A), staff, community, and parent participation in assessing needs and developing plans are evident in the formal partnerships, including the Charlotte County Chamber of Commerce/Business Partnership, the Federal Programs/Early Learning Center Advisory Committee, the School Health Advisory Board, and the Exceptional Child Advisory Committee.  Parent and community participation is encouraged at the school levels, with active parent-teacher organizations, parent and community volunteers, and organized parent luncheons.  In addition, Community Forums are held as needed to obtain further public input on the needs of the school division.

 

Charlotte County Public Schools is currently participating in the Gear Up Program (Gaining Early Awareness and Readiness for Undergraduate Programs) which has a strong parent and community participation components. A Parent Resource Center has been established at Randolph-Henry High School as part of the Gear Up Program.  In addition, Central Middle School, under the 21st Century Learning Grant, has incorporated a variety of activities.
