Comments from Audience

1. COMMENTS FROM AUDIENCE
   Minutes: Ms. Cheryl Parker - has a son in first grade at Rufus Payne Elementary School. The principal guaranteed that her son would be able to read by the end of kindergarten using the Direct Instruction curriculum. During the 2002-03 school year, the principal changed and the Direct Instruction program was replaced. A reading strategy like Direct Instruction builds confidence. Ms. Parker supports this program and urged the Board to keep this curriculum at the school.
   
   Ms. Patricia Colbert, PTA and SAC Chair at Norwood Elementary School, brought a petition in favor of keeping the Direct Instruction program. Ms. Colbert is formerly from California and her child, in four months, was reading on and above grade level with this curriculum. Our principal, Mr. Gilmore, will be retiring this summer and we request a principal who would support the Direct Instruction program.
   
   Speaker:
   Mr. John C. Fryer, Jr., Superintendent of Schools
   
   Ms. Julia Monique Menefee, supporter of Direct Instruction, has a son at Rutledge Pearson Elementary (formerly from Connecticut), PTA president. Ms. Menefee's son's achievements are attributed to is early reading instruction through the Direct Instruction program.
   
   Ms. Lisa Rahaman, children attend Oceanway Elementary and they are a military family having moved several times over the past ten years. Ms. Rahaman's son is reading in kindergarten and supports the Direct Instruction curriculum. Please keep this program as it truly works.
   
   Ms. Sharon Tyus said that she was not impressed with her daughter's progress in kindergarten and decided to home school her. She then heard about the Direct Instruction program at Oceanway Elementary and enrolled her daughter. This program is amazing and Ms. Tyus urges the Board to keep this curriculum.
   
   Ms. Estrella Mitchell, kindergarten teacher at Oceanway Elementary and has taught there for 35 years with 43 of overall teaching (15th year as a kindergarten teacher). Direct Instruction leads all the other reading programs that I've seen over the years. Ms. Mitchell urged the Board to allow this program to remain as it is a good safety net tool.
   
   Speaker:
   Ms. Brenda Priestly Jackson, Board Member
   
   Ms. Alice Sapp, has taught school since 1968 and presently teaches at Martin Luther King Elementary. Ms. Sapp is a supporter of the Direct Instruction program.
   
   Ms. Bridget Coyne, lead teacher and in support of Direct Instruction at Highlands Elementary. In a study of Direct Instruction students versus non Direct Instruction students, DI students outscore their counterparts. (Distributed material). We need to replace our retiring principal with one that supports this program.
   
   Reverend Bruce Havens, pastor, spoke on behalf of ICARE and the successful implementation of Direct Instruction; a passion for all students to achieve excellence in reading. I represent a broad and diverse group - ICARE listens.
   
   Reverend Rene Evans, pastor, offered a prayer...our children need prayers.
   
   Ms. Hope McMath, director, Arts for a Complete Coalition, funding issue on the state level. The arts are very important in a complete education...ties into all curriculum areas.
   
   Mr. Calder Yates, student, claims his desire to learn; problem solving skills, math, science, english and the arts. Students are more likely to succeed with a well-rounded schedule including the arts.
   
   Ms. Patricia Gibney requested the School Board attorney to answer questions regarding child abuse. Family Planning corporations do not report as much as 90% of the cases of underage (16) children. We need to know what's going to happen. Ms. Gibney distributed material concerning Florida Statutes pertaining child abuse. (Refer to LaShonda Dawkins).
   
   Ms. Shelia Andrews asked when would her wishes be respected concerning others coming in contact with her child? Ms. Andrews gave pertinent instructions regarding her son and they were ignored. That person violated her request and told her child not to tell her. What can be done about this? Regional Superintendent Ed Pratt-Dannals addressed this issue with Ms. Andrews privately.
   
   Ms. Catherine Holten, 4th grade teacher at Wayman Academy of the Arts, spoke about their principal being their leader and that the faculty and staff provide the best learning environment for the students.
   
   Ms. Mary Wright, principal at Sally Mathis Elementary, said that good instruction breeds good results. We focus on all areas around literacy. We became an America's Choice school (best practices) - Early Literacy Learning Model - all best practices; reading recovery; Read 180 - seen phenomenal growth.
   
   Mr. Mark Griffin, Chairman of the Board, Wayman Academy of the Arts - thanked the Board for approving their application. Our enrollment keeps climbing. Ms. Griffin urged the Board to consider their renewal application and the renewal process for a minimum of 5 years.
