SUPERINTENDENT’S UPDATE

95. TO Skyward Implementation

Mr. Terence O'Leary, Assistant Superintendent for ITS, updated the Board on Skyward progress, a tightly integrated student system for capturing and reporting core student and business data. The project goals were to: 1) enable a student information system that supported the Superintendent's Targets, 2) retire all legacy systems, 3) provide a centralized repository for all student data that uses current technology and provides a foundation for collecting basic student demographic information, 4) integrate all district student, personnel, and business/finance data applications into a single enterprise application, and 5) enable the process of "user feature requests".

Next steps involved additional training for new teacher orientation-gradebook, data mining training refresher for all users, refresher training for ITS programming staff for PROGRESS programming, training on various learning resources, and deployment of new modules for food service point of sale, employee time off and on-line student scheduling.

Board members and Superintendent Lannon commended Mr. O'Leary and his entire staff for the phenomenal progress the department had made and was continuing to make. The planning, training, and execution had been an excellent approach that resulted in an 80% approval rate. The district had total control of the process and was now a national model that many were inquiring about. The district had negotiated an efficient and effective package of implementation that had set the school system up to be able to add in and integrate an appropriate data warehouse.

Mrs. Hensley reported that the site for the Amtrak Station in Fort Pierce had been selected and was moving forward. Also, following several meetings of the Children's Services Council, a decision was made to hold "best-practices-funded-agencies" harmless from any cuts next year and hopefully for the next several years.

Dr. Miller informed board members she had scheduled the last follow-up meeting for the "Learn About Our Schools" project. Recommendations that arose from this and prior meetings were going to be reviewed and prioritized so that action steps could be developed for later consideration by the Board during its strategic planning meeting in August. She then congratulated Mr. O'Leary and his ITS staff once again for the project they had developed to simplify the student assignment process for the community. Mr. Lannon and staff were scheduled to present the new process to the business community at the next Economic Development Council (EDC) meeting on July 6, 2010.

Dr. Carvelli congratulated Mr. Ingersoll who had just completed an uncontested election for his new School Board Member term (2010-2014).

At Mr. Ingersoll's suggestion, board members agreed to start the August 6, 2010 retreat at 1:00 p.m. (ending at 4:00 p.m.) at the PGA Historical Library.

UNSCHEDULED SPEAKERS

There were no unscheduled speakers.

ADJOURNMENT

After conducting all business scheduled to come before the Board, Chairman Ingersoll adjourned the June 22, 2010 regular workshop at approximately 5:57 p.m.
