Parents and students can access a copy of the TEKS by grade level and/or content area at: www.jisd.org by clicking on the parents and students tab and then the academics tab. How often is the curriculum updated and by what process it is updates? The JISD curriculum is updated annually. Campus instructional strategist work with teachers by reviewing testing data to make a new scope and sequence as data proves necessary. Teachers put their lesson plans in the forethought component of Eduphoria. What process is used to ensure that there is vertical and horizontal alignment from one grade level to the next? How effective has this articulation process been and how do we know that? Each campus works with strategist to develop vertical and horizontal alignments from one grade level to the next. Forethought is used to house planning and scope and sequence. Campus transition is where we usually see a dip in student scores.

Describe the district’s Coordinated School Health Program. The program adopted by the school district almost three years ago is CATCH. Counselors on each campus have the materials.
19
The CATCH Program for schools is based on the CDC coordinated school health model (as it relates to physical activity and diet) in which eight components work interactively to educate young people about and provide support for a healthful lifestyle. Recently, the CDC has expanded on the coordinated school health model to create the Whole School, Whole Community, Whole Child (WSCC) model. The purpose of the WSCC model is to establish greater alignment, integration, and collaboration between health and education across the school setting. Consistent with the WSCC model, CATCH builds alliances of parents, teachers, child nutrition personnel, school staff, and community partners to teach children to make healthful decisions and to create changes in the environment that support these decisions.

Planning for the Future Today INTRODUCTION As most of you are aware, Jacksonville ISD has been a leader in educational achievement in this area of the state. JISD covers a land space of over 271 square miles which includes the City of Jacksonville as well as a large land area surrounding the city. It is composed of eight campuses with seven of these receiving academic ratings through the state accountability program. West Side Elementary and Fred Douglass Elementary are 2 out of only 26 campuses nominated in the state for the National Blue Ribbon Schools (out of over 8,300 campuses in Texas) in 2010. This nomination places these 2 JISD Campuses in the top 1% of the state. In 2014 all other measures of academic achievement show that our campuses and student groups continue to be successful academically. We believe that this District has both a distinguished heritage and a bright future. As we continue to look at ways to improve our District, it is the goal of the Jacksonville ISD Board of Trustees to provide quality facilities for use throughout all phases of the District’s development.

Planning for the Future Today OVERVIEW JISD’s history of building facilities, as listed below, reflects forward thinking from previous community leaders: 1951………… 1956………… 1979………… 1984………… 2000………… 2012………… 2012…………
New West Side Elementary New High School New Middle School New Intermediate School (now Fred Douglass Elementary) New Intermediate (Nichols) New East Side Elementary & Joe Wright Elementary campuses Renovations and additions for the High School and Fred Douglass Elementary
In 2010 a Facilities Committee was established to serve as an advisory committee to the Jacksonville Independent School District to develop a Master Facilities Plan. Their responsibility was to assess the facility needs and develop a timeline for facility improvements. The result of this committee planning was a bond election which provided the facilities mentioned above in 2012. In 2013, the 2010 Master Facilities Plan was evaluated by the JISD Facilities Committee with the goal of adjusting the Plan to reflect those projects completed and to identify other needs for future consideration. The result of this committee planning was a bond election which is providing a new West Side Elementary campus and additions/renovations to Nichols Intermediate School. In 2014 a new Facilities Committee was established to edit the current 2013 Master Facilities Plan. This Committee’s goal was to access and prioritize the facility needs for the District for the future. After a series of meetings the Committee has proposed several recommendations to the JISD Board of Trustees for their consideration.

Philosophy Future planning decisions of Jacksonville ISD should be based on certain basic philosophies. Some of the philosophies expressed during the development of this facilities improvement plan include the following: Quality Education – During the planning and execution of this plan the number one objective is to provide a quality education to all Jacksonville ISD students throughout all phases of the facility improvements. Any decision process should include the question, “How does this affect the quality of education we are providing for our students?” Campus Configuration – Because of the current academic success, our Committee believes that the District should continue the current grade configuration. The current facilities include four elementary campuses (housing Pre-K through 4th grades), one intermediate campus (housing 5th and 6th grades), one middle school campus (housing 7 th and 8th grades), and one high school campus (housing 9th through 12th grades). The Compass Center currently houses kindergarten through 12th grade students assigned to the DIRECT and OASIS programs. Campus Safety and Security – During the design and construction or renovation on each individual campus, safety and security of students should be a priority. If possible, buildings should be designed as a complete unit (under one roof) and/or hallways should be added to connect renovated buildings. Campus Size - Based on the current campus configuration, projected campus size should be 700 to 750 students for elementary schools, up to 900 students for intermediate and middle schools, and approximately 1800 students for the high school. Land Requirements – The Committee used information and estimates as noted by the Council of Educational Planners, International. Their rule of thumb estimates used in determining real estate requirements are as follows: Elementary campuses: Middle school campuses: High school campuses:
10 acres plus 1 acre per 100 students 20 acres plus 1 acre per 100 students 30 acres plus 1 acre per 100 students
During each revision of this document these recommended site requirements should be reviewed and amended as needed. Technology Infrastructure – Technology infrastructure must be considered when preparing a bond issue. Communication links between campuses and the outside learning opportunities are to be kept updated. When preparing any bond issue, infrastructure upgrades and additions must be considered due to the rapid evolution and obsolescence of communications equipment. This will provide access to a vast amount of data and educational resources available on the “World Wide Web” as well as inter-campus communications.
