recommended by the Superintendent for approval. Meeting : Aug 8, 2013 - Workshop Meeting Type : Action (Consent) Fiscal Impact : No Recommended Action : Motion to approve the Kindergarten Reporting System for the 2013-2014 school year. Public Content Rather than a typical report card, Kindergarten teachers use an age- appropriate comprehensive reporting system. The system includes a quarterly assessment checklist that is fully aligned to the Common Core Standards. In addition to the quarterly checklists, the system includes a Teacher Guide with exact directions for administering each assessment element, A Parent Guide, a mid-quarter parent progress report and an appendix. The appendix includes all resources and tools to administer the assessment system. A group of Kindergarten teachers meet annually to revise the assessment system; every item in the appendix has been developed by the set of teachers. As of the 2011-2012 school year, the Kindergarten program included full implementation of the Common Core Standards. As such, there have been some dramatic changes in instruction and assessment for this set of teachers and students. The assessment system is completed on-line; MIS has developed a program that calculates each individual skill score once the teacher has entered the raw score. A Gr. K representative per school is trained to serve as a resource in communicating the annual revisions. Upon approval by the School Board, the Parent Guide will be available on the OCSD website.

Public Content This Early College/Dual Enrollment Articulation Agreement between Northwest Florida State College (the College) and the Okaloosa County School District (the District) is in effect from August 15, 2013 to July 31, 2014. Early college/dual enrollment is one of the articulated acceleration mechanisms defined in Florida Statutes. The mission of dual enrollment, as specified by the Legislature, is three-fold: • to shorten the time necessary for a student to complete the requirements of a postsecondary degree and high school diploma • to broaden the scope of curricular options available to students, or • to increase the depth of study available for a particular subject. A District Articulation Committee will review this Agreement each year. Composition of the District Articulation Committee shall conform to Florida rule and law. Voting members shall be appointed by the appropriate superintendent or institutional president and shall represent Northwest Florida State College, Okaloosa County School District, and Walton County School District. Guests and additional non-voting members may also attend and participate in the meetings. This agreement may be amended or renewed from year-to-year by mutual agreement of the President of Northwest Florida State College and the Okaloosa County School Board. Summary of Major Changes By statute, the District will be invoiced $71.98 per credit hour for dual enrollment courses taken on the College campus during fall and spring terms in the 2013-2014 school year. The College agrees to provide a stipend of $100 per student per course to the District for invoiced registrations as mitigation for the cost of instructional materials. The minimum required GPA is changing from 3.0 weighted to 3.0 unweighted to be aligned with statute. Students taking dual enrollment during fall and spring terms in 2013-2014 will be grandfathered.
