What Does the
Data Reveal?
A Context for the Data
• NCLB has targeted 2014 for 100%
compliance
• NCLB targets are unrealistic and
unattainable
• ISBE has back loaded state targets
• Target for Math and Reading is 70%
• Schools making continuous progress are
falling short of the 70% target
• Trend will continue unless USDOE
makes adjustments to NCLB
RPS Data – 2006-2009
District Reading
• Percentage of all students meeting or exceeding Illinois
State Standards has been flat over a four year period
• Declining percentages in three of the eight subgroups:
Hispanic -3.9%, Asian -4.0%, and LEP -7.7%
• Increases in three subgroups: Black 2.8%, White 1.4%
and Multiracial 6.7%
• Economically Disadvantaged subgroup flat
• Students with disabilities showed a four year increase of
2.1%
• Black-White achievement gap narrowed slightly (1.4%) but
is still significant at 26.8%
District Math
2006-2009
• Percentage of all students meeting or exceeding Illinois
state standards showed a slight increase of 2.5%
• Percentage increase in four student subgroups: Black
4.3%, Hispanic 2.1%, LEP 2.5%, and Economically
Disadvantaged 2.4%
• Students with disabilities showed a 6.4% increase over
four years, although scores for 2009 are flat
• Decreases occurred for three student subgroups: White
0.4%, Asian 8.4% and Multiracial 2.3%
• Black-White achievement gap narrowed by 7.2% over 4
years but is still significant at 26.3%
2006-2009 Grade Level Data
• Little variance over time in grade level scores
• 3% - 6% increases in reading and math in grades
5, 6, and 7
• 3rd grade reading scores have remain flat at 56%
• Decrease of 3% in 3rd grade math, 2% in 4th grade
reading, and 1% in 8th grade reading
• Achievement gap remains a challenge
• LEP, Students with Disabilities, and Economically
Disadvantaged subgroups consistently lag behind
other subgroups
High Schools
2006-2009
• With one exception in reading, there are overall
declines at all four high schools in both reading and
math
• Some subgroup gains occurred in reading at two high
schools
• One subgroup at one high school showed growth in
math over the four year period
• Majority of gains are not significant when viewed in
the context of a four year time frame
• With minor exceptions, overall, subgroup
performance levels continue to be significantly below
expectations
Middle Schools – 2006-2009
• Slow upward trend in the majority of middle schools
• Percentages of students meeting and exceeding in
reading range from 46.3% to 79.3% over the four year
period
• Range in math is from 46.8% to 77.8%
• Steady year-to-year growth in both math and reading is
seen in only one middle school and in math at two others
• Year-to-year decline in both reading and math is seen at
one school
• Black and Students with Disabilities subgroups are slowly
improving in most cases, but a significant gap still exists
Elementary Schools
2006-2009
• 16 schools made gains over the four year period
• Gains tend to be steady and incremental
• 15 schools showed decreases
• Some decreases are dramatic; ranging from 10% to
nearly 23%
• Three schools show little movement over four years
• Issues related to achievement gaps and subgroups
with low percentages meeting and exceeding are
evident beginning in 3rd grade

FY 2010 Budget Update
July 22, State of Illinois adopted a budget
HIGHLIGHTS
• $160 per child increase in the foundation formula. The
RPS budget did not anticipate any increase in state aid.
This will yield RPS approximately $4 million in
unanticipated revenues.
• Almost all Categorical State Grants were not fully
funded.
– Initial RPS Impact- $4.5 million budget shortfall.
– On July 31, 2009, the Governor restored many of the
state grants.
– Current RPS Impact- $1.5 million budget shortfall.
– State officials have projected a $1 billion revenue
shortfall; thus education could see another budget
reduction
FY 2010 Budget Update
HIGHLIGHTS
• On August 6, 2009, the Mayor announced that revenue
projections for property and sales taxes were
overstated, and more importantly, he predicted that FY
2011 will be even tougher on revenues.
• Thus goes tax collections for Rockford, shall go tax
collections for RPS.
• Rockford has the highest unemployment and foreclosure
rate in the state of Illinois.
THE TIME TO CONTROL SPENDING IS NOW!
Proposed Mitigation
• Cabinet Members will Zero-Base the adopted central
office budget to find savings. This exercise forces
critical thinking as to what will be prioritized, thus we
take true ownership of the adopted budget and will be
positioned to speak to specified outcomes at year end.
• Due back to Finance by August 31, 2009, and an
amended budget will be presented to the Board in the
month of September.
• Resources to be realigned to better support
instructional programs
WE WILL SUPPORT AND CONTINUE
OUR INSTRUCTIONAL PROGRAMS
Expectations Have Changed
• Student achievement is the call
of the day, every day
• We will provide a nurturing,
child-centered and parent-
friendly learning environment
• Adults will be held
accountable: principals,
assistant-principals, directors,
counselors, secretaries, nurses,
special education supervisors,
cafeteria workers, custodians,
bus drivers, teachers, parents
and the superintendent
How will this
be Accomplished?
We will be
Relentless!
Consider these words:
“We must all be grateful for the gift of this
child to raise, this life to share, this mind
to help mold, this body to nurture, and this
spirit to enrich. Let (us) never betray this
child’s trust, dampen this child’s hope, or
discourage this child’s dreams…”
- Marion Wright Edelman
Victory in the Classroom
starts with a winning
Attitude…
