[AsburyPark] Schools ?

2013-05-06 Thread oakdorf
Has anyone ever tracked a student who has traveled from PRE-K to Graduation in 
AP?

In other words, can someone break down some data that shows over the past 12-14 
years:

1. Longevity of kids in the school system (exmaple - what grade they started in 
the system at  - Pre-k, 4th grade, 9th grade etc)

2. If they came in the system, where did they come from (higher performing 
district/lesser quality...?) 

3. If they left the school system and moved onto another, how'd they do? 

You get the idea. Of course you can add more.  That would make some cool 
research - and may yield some real info.

I still want to see the basic data - a kid from PRE-K to Graduation - how did 
they fare? 

Like a teacher told me in HOLMDEL - parents TRY to get their kids placed in 
Special ed - so their kids get more "personal" time  - time to take tests, 
excuses for being out not doing hw etc - NOT the real intent of the classes.

Just an example.

I'm still curious about something.

Say the schools close, what happens next? You can't charter the entire 
district, so where do they go?

I don't know of a single district in the area that will accept them. I do know 
of 3 districts off the bat that will not accept themOcean - NO. Long 
Branch - NOPE, Tinton Falls - Not Happening

So what's the solution if we close them?

After reading what Oak posted, I'm in awe that no one with a brain has stepped 
in, anyone with half an education can see the waste taking place

I've never been interested in school board meetings but I am now.does 
anyone know when they take place?

dan...I don't believe in "closing" the schools. Just address fairly:
As was in the press:

a) The state auditor's report, which covers the period July 2009 to December 
2010,  The Asbury Park School District continues to have the highest 
per-pupil expenditures among the 31 districts formerly known as the Abbotts. In 
2009-10, the cost per pupil was $26,782. 

b)The estimated cost in 2010-11 was lower, but still about $5,600 higher than 
the 2009-10 Abbott district average.

c) While enrollment was declining nearly 40 percent over the last decade, costs 
were climbing, in no small measure because staffing was reduced only 13 
percent. 

d)Asbury Park's student-to-teacher ratio was 8.7 students to 1 teacher — the 
second-lowest ratio among the Abbott districts. The state average is 12.4 to 1. 


e)The district also is top-heavy with administrators — about double the state 
average for K-12 districts.

[AsburyPark] Schools. Long branch

2007-09-15 Thread oakdorf
Kevin, you should be thanking God in Long Branch for all the state
money they received. I went by the new high school (I tr to avoid the
route, cause it pisses me off) and got to look at those amazing
schools - the middle and high. They should get awards for
architecture, money spent in excess.

Those places should be the envy of any university, let alone public
school. And bull dozers are still working.

The lord came to Long Branch

I read the article today about the school in app.  Can someone shine some lights on this?  DiSanto is president of the board and is now in his 2nd term?  He was part of the group that renewed Lewis' contract 1 year early on his origibal 3 year contract and signed him to 4 years.  I believe I read that part of the buyout was 3 years left on the currect contract.  So if my math was correct, around now the original contract would expire and a buy out would not be needed.  Anyway what gets me is he is quoted saying that "for the first time they can do something positive".       I may not know all the facts and that is the reason for this post.  Why renew contract with Lewis if nothing positive was going on.  From viewing the school scores we can see that was the case.       The children's future is at stake here.

"As the chances of Antonio Lewis, who earned $182,326 in the past 
school year, holding on to his job faded in recent weeks, Lewis 
received an Aug. 15 letter commending the district's efforts to create 
a safe learning environment at the middle school."

How do you pay that kind of money for these results? Granted, a school 
system cannot be run like a private business but paying this salary for 
this is nuts. I am sure you could get someone much cheaper for the same 
failure rate.

This town receives so much money from the state and the school system is a disaster.  Such a mess that the state must step in?  So sad

another glowing report of our wonderful school district in todays 
paper, when will it end?  not till people who are so quick to attack 
mayor and council, take on the same initative to attack the school bd. 
many do not want to because they are our friends, that is not a good 
reason, sometimes it takes a friend to tell one the truth. And the 
truth is you got to say no to all the wasteful b.s. spending. Doc. 
Lewis is a nice guy, but this Svengali trance he has over intelligent 
well intentioned volunteers is scary. is he a puppetmaster?  Has he 
lost a vote on any of his reccomendations in the last two years? how 
many more millions will be wasted? how many more children will be 
robbed of a good education. regionalization is the answer, but no 
adiministrator is ever going to recommend it, because their incompetent 
cronies will be unemployed.

Any thoughts?  Can Frank D'Allesandro give the pros and cons?


Asbury to hold forum on restructuring

Posted by the Asbury Park Press on 01/31/06

ASBURY PARK: A presentation of the possibilities of restructuring the 
school district to kindergarten-through-eighth-grade schools with the 
high school instead of having a middle school will be held at 7 p.m. 
Thursday at Bradley Elementary School, Third Avenue. The presentation 
is open to the public.
The American Institutes for Research, Washington, D.C., has conducted 
a study over the past several months on the best configuration for the 
city school district.

everyone is entitled to their opinion, i agree with dfsavgny, it is 
part soic-eco., i know asburycheech is a dedicated hard working 
VOLUNTEER, i also know there is a an election every April, and all the 
people who sit back and criticize, can run and cnange the wrongs, which 
is a lot easier to talk about than doing, however to do so you must 
live in this great City.
