SECTION 1 – EDUCATIONAL PLANS

ANNE ARUNDEL COUNTY PUBLIC SCHOOLS STRATEGIC PLAN

The goal of this strategic plan is to ensure that every student meets or exceeds standards as achievement gaps are eliminated. We will aim to elevate all students while eliminating all gaps. As we continue to strive in Anne Arundel County Public Schools to elevate all students and eliminate all gaps, community stakeholders came together during the 2015-2016 and 2016-2017 school years to articulate what they felt was most important for us to embrace as guiding values for our next five years. Their thoughts are grounded in the need for us as a school district to become a place where all feel welcome, valued, and supported as we learn and work together toward achieving student success. The values below will drive our planning and actions during the 2018-23 school years. From Anne Arundel County Public Schools Strategic Plan 2018-2023

ANNE ARUNDEL COUNTY PUBLIC SCHOOLS DRIVING VALUES I. ALL MEANS ALL

All Students, Families, Employees & Community Members Feel Welcome From our youngest students, to parents or guardians reaching out to support their children, to the most seasoned educator or staff member, to our community members generously volunteering their time and talents – each and every individual is capable of learning more and contributing more when they feel they are an appreciated, connected and contributing member of the Anne Arundel County Public Schools family. Progress can be made and goals met or surpassed with greater ease when all stakeholders feel a sense of belonging in our schools and offices across the district.

Diversity is Invited, Nurtured, and Celebrated We are committed to providing all AACPS students and employees with access to safe, equitable, and engaging environments to learn and work. As Anne Arundel County’s citizenry grows more diverse, we increase our attention and dedication to making our schools and offices places where all may thrive. Students and staff bring a wide range of traditions and cultures from their homes into our schools and workplaces. We respect and honor this diversity and work purposefully to make all feel they are able to grow to great heights where their successes will ultimately be celebrated and rewarded. As we grow, we strive to recruit and retain a high quality, diverse workforce who will work to raise student engagement and achievement, regardless of race, ethnicity, gender, national origin, religion, age, disability, or sexual orientation.

Everyone in the AACPS Family Fosters Student Growth We accept and embrace the challenge and responsibility to meet every student uniquely based on individual needs. Every member of the AACPS family must make a meaningful contribution to student growth, if we are to support our students to develop into caring, competent, and contributing citizens. All employees have an important role to play to address the social emotional, physical, and cognitive needs of our students. We take pride in our work to build relationships with students, families, and partners – all who provide engaging and supportive fertile ground in which our students grow to reach their potential.

II. ALL STUDENTS ARE PREPARED FOR COLLEGE, CAREER, AND COMMUNITY

Inside the Classroom We are committed to readying our students to become literate, independent, caring, and contributing adults who are able to successfully navigate and positively impact the 21st century global society. Before exiting high school, students will have uncovered and explored their many talents and passions, interacted with professionals from career fields in which they have interest, understood how to put their talents and skills to use in multiple career areas, participated in professional internships with a community or industry mentors, planned with college or career counselors, and met all Maryland high school graduation requirements. In preK-12 formal and informal learning settings, we will offer all students important and relevant content, tools, skills, and experiences so every student is able to confidently build and cross their own unique bridge from school to civic engagement, workforce participation, and college enrollment.

Beyond the Classroom Walls Valuable student learning occurs inside and outside our classroom walls. Students should have opportunities to explore or enrich their personal interests, engage in unique learning experiences, and interact with others who share their passions in clubs, organizations, and competitions that take place outside of classroom settings. We are working to increase the number of quality co-curricular offerings available for students, schedule them at flexible times, thus allowing for maximum student participation, provide experts from all community sectors to facilitate these relevant offerings, and reduce barriers to student participation affected by transportation challenges in Anne Arundel County.

III. SOUND STEWARDSHIP

AACPS Business Practices are Designed for Quality, Effectiveness, and Efficiency We take pride in the establishment and implementation of quality business practices which lead to the effective management of all school system resources. We are committed to continuing the prudent development, deployment, and evaluation of streamlined business processes and procedures to maintain resource stewardship excellence while striving to increase our efficiency, productivity, and service delivery levels.

Standard Elementary School Educational Specification May 1, 2019 Project Design Factors 5

SECTION 2 – PROJECT DESIGN FACTORS

GENERAL CRITERIA Accessibility

The entire project shall be accessible to all individuals with disabilities including sight, hearing and mobility impaired.

The project shall be in compliance with Americans with Disabilities Act Accessibility Guidelines (ADAAG) and the 2010 Standards for Accessible Design.

Acoustics Providing the acoustical qualities necessary for good speech communication

between students and teachers is very important to the learning process. For performance criteria, design requirements, and guidelines on acoustics, refer to: American National Standard, Acoustical Performance, Criteria, Design

Requirements, and Guidelines for Schools, ANSI S12.60-2010, Maryland State Department of Education Classroom Acoustics Guidelines, 2006, United States Green Building Council, LEED v4 for Schools, IEQ Prerequisite 3:

Minimum Acoustical Performance. Building Security & Site Safety Security will be based on Crime Prevention through Environmental Design (CPTED).

These strategies include: Natural Surveillance - A design concept directed primarily at keeping intruders

easily observable. Promoted by features that maximize visibility of people, parking areas and building entrances: doors and windows that look out on to streets and parking areas; pedestrian-friendly sidewalks and streets; front porches; adequate nighttime lighting.

Territorial Reinforcement - Physical design can create or extend a sphere of influence. Users then develop a sense of territorial control while potential offenders, perceiving this control, are discouraged. Promoted by features that define property lines and distinguish private spaces from public spaces using landscape plantings, pavement designs, gateway treatments, and "CPTED" fences.

Natural Access Control - A design concept directed primarily at decreasing crime opportunity by denying access to crime targets and creating in offenders a perception of risk. Gained by designing streets, sidewalks, building entrances and neighborhood gateways to clearly indicate public routes and discouraging access to private areas with structural elements.

Target Hardening - Accomplished by features that prohibit entry or access: window locks, dead bolts for doors, and interior door hinges.

Additional security items are described in individual paragraphs below. Community Space The following areas are provided to allow for some school areas to be used after

hours for community based programs. After-hours access to these areas shall be through the school’s main entry, unless otherwise determined by the Office of School Security. 2,000sf in enlarged Gymnasium (4.04.01) 2,400sf in Before/After Care (6.01.01)

Life Safety/Building Codes The design of the project shall comply with all applicable statutes, codes and

regulations which are or will be in place at the time the construction documents are reviewed by Anne Arundel County code officials and the Interagency Commission on School Construction. Such statutes, codes or regulations include but are not limited to the International Building code series as implemented by Anne Arundel County, NFPA Life Safety Codes, storm water management and sediment control statutes and regulations, Americans with Disabilities Act, Maryland Accessibility Code, MSDE technical bulletins, and the design guidelines contained in the Anne Arundel County Public Schools Indoor Air Quality Management Plan.
