Middletown Public Schools 2013-2014 Funding Formula
Rhode Island Department of Education Funding Formula
In 2010, State Legislatures passed the education funding formula devised by experts at Rhode Island Department of Education and Brown University. The formula is a transparent data-based formula aimed at distributing an adequate level of funding to support student learning. The primary goal of the formula is to ensure that the Rhode Island educational finance system supports student achievement.
The funding allocations will be phased in over ten years based on the transition model. Districts that are underfunded will be fully funded within five years, while reductions for overfunded districts will be phased in over ten years. The model redistributes the FY 2010 enacted education funding levels over time to create greater revenue equity between districts. The model is a snapshot in time and can change significantly if funding and/or enrollments increase or decrease.
The chart below details the enacted state aid reductions in Middletown for fiscal years 2012 and 2013 as well as projected reductions for fiscal year 2014-2021. Final reductions in state aid for fiscal year 2014 will be released after the March student data is uploaded, and final projections will be provided shortly after the state budget is finalized.
The Chart below details the actual increase in tax appropriation for fiscal years 2012 and 2013 and the requested increase for fiscal year 2014.

Middletown Public Schools Changes in School Programs/Operations
Student Learning Common Core State Standards (CCSS) provide a consistent, clear understanding of what students are expected to learn, so teachers and parents know what they need to do to help them. The Common Core State Standards were designed to bridge an “expectation gap” found nationwide that marks a disconnect between what is needed for a high school diploma and what students need to know and be able to do in order to be successful in college and careers. Implementation Challenges: Curriculums, instruction and assessment must all be developed, implemented and evaluated so that they are aligned to the CCSS. This requires teacher professional development, increased planning time for staff, new resources for students and staff. In order to bring us to the 21st Century Skills, we must also revise and update our technology planning to build for a one-to-one staff program (laptop for each staff member). The development of the curriculum, instruction and assessment practices must be done with technology tools in hand so that we can build the best environment for our students and their learning.
Student Performance Beginning in 2014, the Partnership for the Assessment of Readiness for College and Careers (PARCC), which is based on the Common Core Standards, will be administered to students in grades 3 -11. It is composed of two assessment components given near the end of the school year. There will be two additional components that will be optional and provide instructional information for teachers. All components will be administered on a computer. Implementation Challenges: This assessment has a significant increase in the rigor and depth of knowledge required. This will mean additional teacher professional development, increased common planning time for staff, new instructional practices for our staff to use to prepare our students for this assessment. The administration of the assessment is done on a computer and this will have a major impact to our infrastructure needs. Middle & High School Reform Regulations Rhode Island Department of Education intended that these Regulations would substantively redesign the education offerings in Rhode Island public schools. On March 3, 2011, the Regents adopted revised middle and high school regulations. These regulations codify and solidify the policies and procedures that have been developed during the last eight years. These regulations continue to reflect key design elements and principles that have been identified since 2003 including: proficiency-based graduation requirements; comprehensive supports to students including literacy, numeracy, and personalization; common planning time and professional development support for teachers; data-driven decision-making processes; and aligned local policy to support implementation of the key elements. Implementation Challenges: The middle and high school regulations impact the district as they require additional methods of graduation for the students. Middletown works to be sure that this requirement overlaps with our curriculum and assessment development. We also consider the requirements of the New England Association of Colleges and Schools (High School Accreditation) as we work to maintain our proficiency requirements. These requirements also state that a student must attain partial proficiency on the state exam (NECAP and eventually, PARCC) to graduate. We know that we will need additional supports and resources to help our students with this requirement.
Basic Education Program Regulations(BEP) The Basic Education Program (BEP) provides a framework within which a decision can be made about whether a school district is offering its students a basic education program, including academic and support programs. The BEP requires each district have four distinct roles to fill, which center on building capacity within its schools:
Leadership – alignment of hierarchical and distributive leadership; Personnel supports – centering on staffing and professional development to educators;
Page | 13
Infrastructure – ensuring the sufficiency of structural supports and opportunity needed for the performance of essential tasks; and,
Programmatic Content – aligned to standards and expectations established at the state level.
Implementation Challenges: There are many implications of the BEP but one of the most significant transformations is that all districts are required to use curricula aligned to the state adopted standards. Administrators and teachers in the K-12 education community must engage in studying the Common Core State Standards, developing curricula, and outlining a transition plan to implement the curriculum in time for the new PARCC and alternate assessment which will be administered in 2014.
Response to Intervention (RtI) The new State Criteria for Specific Learning Disabilities (the identification of special education students) includes a timeline which phases in the requirement to use Response to Intervention as part of the eligibility determination process beginning September 1, 2010. RtI is a process of determining appropriate support and interventions to supplement the core curriculum to meet the needs of all learners. This framework for instruction bases decisions on benchmark and progress monitoring data to improve achievement. In other words, Response to Intervention (RtI) is a data supported process for making decisions relating to student achievement and engagement.
Implementation Challenges: While RtI supports specific students, it impacts all students. RtI is a RI requirement that is based upon federal guidance. It requires that the school district have a universal core curriculum for all students that is clearly defined and delivered with fidelity. It also requires that we screen ALL students at least two times each year to determine if they are on grade level. If the student is not on grade level then we must intervene with supports outside of the student’s regular instruction (and sometimes with additional resources and tools) to help the child reach their potential. We must progress monitor their growth. It is only after we have worked to have multiple interventions that we would then refer the student to be discussed and evaluated for special education. This process can require additional staffing and resources for students. It can also require time outside of the school day and/or school year for staff and students. Finally, it requires additional tools, time and training for staff. Career and Technical Center Requirements The RI Department of Education has put forth Career and Technical Center requirements where each district is required to:
Provide all K-12 students with opportunities to participate in career awareness activities as required by the Rhode Island Basic Education Program (BEP) and K-12 Literacy, Restructuring of the Learning environment at the middle and high school levels, and proficiency based graduation requirements (PBGR) at High Schools (2011 Secondary School Regulations);
Provide all students with the opportunity to participate in career exploration activities; Provide all students the opportunity to enroll in RIDE-approved career preparation programs of
study in a career cluster of their choosing; Provide a spectrum of career and college counseling services that include career awareness and
exploration activities; and Provide students and families with accurate, high-quality information about the availability of RIDE-
approved programs of study and other approved career preparation programs and a student’s right to enroll.
Implementation Challenges: A newly passed regulation, the details of this requirement are still being determined but we do understand that there will be an impact to the school district and the opportunities that we provide for our students.

Middletown Public Schools Collaborative/Initiatives
Middletown Public School Strategic Plan
The overall mission of the Middletown Public School strategic plan is to create a partnership with students, parents, and community that will cultivate lifelong learning through a collaborative, student-centered, educational model in the context of real world experiences.
Middletown Public School seeks to expand its resources through innovation and efficiencies so that all students are adequately funded to attain national benchmarked standards for college and career readiness. We are committed to strategic partnerships with community organizations to increase funds, assess the quality of systems and programs, and identify correlations between investments and increases in student achievement.
East Bay Educational Collaborative
East Bay Educational Collaborative coordinates and combines selected resources from eight East Bay school districts. Easy Bay Collaborative actively seeks out and develops state-of-the-art programs and services providing the context in which districts can share, coordinate, and combine selected resources or otherwise collaborate with one another for the good of each member district and for the common good of all the districts.
Newport County Regional Special Education Collaborative
The Newport County Regional Special Education Program was established in accordance with the provisions of Title 16, Chapter 3.1 of the General Laws of the State of Rhode Island, 1956, as amended on June 9, 1979, to provide services to qualified special need students from the Towns of Middletown, Portsmouth, Tiverton and Little Compton. Middletown Public Schools ensures that students with exceptionalities receive support and intervention to achieve high expectations. Our partnership with the Newport County Regional Special Education Collaborative allows for a cost savings and provides us the ability to team with local personnel to meet the federal and state mandates for special education services.
Food Service Contract-East Bay Collaborative
In Rhode Island, the National School Lunch Program provides nutritious, low-cost or free lunches to an average of about 50,000 children daily. Schools that take part in the lunch program get cash subsidies and donated commodities from USDA. Program participants include public school districts, private schools, special needs citizen centers, residential child care institutions, and state schools. All public schools in Rhode Island are mandated by state law to provide lunches.
Out of District Transportation Special Education
The Rhode Island General Assembly recently initiated the creation of a statewide transportation system for out-of-district special education and non-public school students under an amendment to Sections 16-21.1-7 and 16-21.1-8 of the General Laws in Chapter 16-21.12 entitled "Transportation of School Pupils Beyond City and Town Limits.” Ultimately, a statewide transportation system for all students that will encompass both within district and out-of-district transportation is planned with the out-of-district component as the first phase of this work.
Military Impacted Schools Association
Military Impacted Schools Association (MISA) is a national organization of school superintendents. MISA partners with the Department of Defense Education Activity, National Military Family Association, and military leaders to ensure that all military children are afforded a quality education. MISA works with local school districts and commanders to highlight best practices and partnerships that can further meet the needs of military families.
Page | 15
Local Transportation As a cost savings measure, Middletown Public Schools has contracted with Ocean State Transit for our local transportation and opted out of the statewide local transportation contract. Middletown Athletic Boosters The charter of the Middletown Athletic Booster Club is to support all the various High School and Middle School athletic teams both through augmenting events/equipment purchases financially and providing physical support. The Middletown Athletics Boosters achieve this through the efforts of volunteer parents. Middletown Music Boosters The MHS Music Boosters operates to support the musical advancement of our young adults. Among their many activities, they provide support during marching band season, do fundraising to support the many activities, and work to support the arts in the Town of Middletown
Parent Teacher Groups
The Middletown Public Schools Parent-Teacher Group actively supports the school's instructional program and enhances community relations. The groups hold fund-raising activities, as well as school programs and family events throughout the school year. All money raised by this organization directly benefits and supports the students of Middletown Public Schools.
Middletown Education Collaborative
Middletown Education Collaborative (MEC) has been helping to create enriching and innovative learning opportunities in all of the Middletown Public Schools. Their goal is to give all Middletown students the same opportunities that are available at the best schools, be they public or private.
For the past seven years, local generosity has enabled MEC to fund over $90,000 in grants for enrichment activities, scholarships and educator excellence awards across all Middletown public schools in a variety of subjects including math, art, reading, music and foreign language arts. The goal of MEC is to continue to partner with the educators, families, schools and the community at large to achieve excellence in our Middletown Public Schools.
Afterschool Programs
Middletown Public Schools works with partners to develop programs and coordinate services that are not currently on site, available in the community, or do not have the capacity to meet the need of all families, in the areas of before and after school child care; early childhood care and education; family support; physical, mental and dental health care services; school age enrichment and education support; preventative health and safety programs and adult/parent education.
Summer Programs
Middletown Summer School is designed to support the academic needs of students in grades Kindergarten through 12. Credit Recovery program in English Language Arts and in Math are held at both Middletown High School and Gaudet Middle School. The Extended Learning Opportunities Program will be complemented by the new Community Extensions Summer Program that will offer camp opportunities for students grades K‐8 in a summer enrichment setting. The Community Extensions Summer Enrichment Program will offer recreational and thinking activities designed to exercise the student’s minds and bodies. Students work in both same and mixed aged groups.

Salve Regina University
The partnership with Salve Regina University continues to expand. The University has offered an opportunity to develop the "drive in" property with the School Department and Town. As a result, we will begin meeting with a Facilities Advisory Committee to revisit the School Department Master Facilities Plan to incorporate concepts for this joint venture.
