S-E appoints new board members
SHERBURNE – At the Sherburne-Earlville Board of Education meeting on Monday night, new board members were appointed, the middle school’s literacy audit was discussed, but no mention was made of the district’s biggest news last week.
Sherburne-Earlville custodian Shawn M. Clark was arrested last week on charges of third-degree rape, criminal sexual acts in the third degree and endangering the welfare of a child for allegedly becoming sexually involved with one of the students, but nothing was said about the incident during the public portion of the meeting Monday. Superintendent Gayle Hellert later commented that a letter had been sent home to all of the parents, and that those parents with questions had contacted the school directly.
Last night, the board accepted the resignation of two board members: James Brown and Andrew Jenne. In their places, John Brown and Dr. Thomas Morris were appointed to fill the vacancies. Their terms will last until June 30, 2007. Board member Nancy Beadle was appointed as the interim vice president.
Middle School Principal Jill Lee addressed the board, explaining the results of an external literacy audit. “Last year, we performed our own internal literacy audit,” Lee said. The middle school handed its results over to DCMO BOCES, and allowed them to come to the school and perform an audit.
Results of the external audit showed that the middle school showed strengths such as: students being engaged in activities with obvious enjoyment, large classroom libraries, sharing ideas and strategies among teachers and strong co-teaching among special education teachers and regular teachers in the classroom.
The audit also found areas where the school had an opportunity for growth, such as: exploring alternate methods of vocabulary instruction, representing literacy skills on all maps and a consistent understanding of the purpose of writing folders between the students and the teachers.
Lee said the next steps will be presenting the information to the rest of the staff. An Imovie titled “What Literacy Looks Like in the Classroom” will be shown, and presentations and discussions will be given concentrating on high achieving schools and how they succeed. Strengths and weaknesses will be analyzed and changes will be implemented accordingly, she said.
