Full Day Kindergarten (FDK) A Key Strategy for Closing Achievement Gaps The proposed budget would fund an expansion of FDK to serve • up to 1,875 students The expansion would allow the division to provide FDK to 100% • of targeted at ‐ risk students along with other students chosen by lottery This would increase the percentage of LCPS students attending • FDK from 11% to up to 38% FDK Expansion Every school with space (~41 schools) would offer at least one • Document FDK class Regional FDK would be created to serve students when the • assigned school does not have space 7

SPB p. 130 Strategic Summer School • About $1.4 million is for ESY service • VDOE provides reimbursement for K ‐ 8 remedial summer school. We are estimating that we would receive $141 per qualifying student • LCPS’ has $134,562 in the budget for elementary summer school at this time. We would like more time to provide a recommendation on these dollars. (Revenue or no/low cost summer school options) 8

Middle School Deans • Deans support instruction, facilitate interdisciplinary and content area teams, address minor student disciplinary infractions, provide supervision for the safety of students, and build important relationships with students and families during the middle school years. • The FY15 Tiered system for middle school deans had a significant impact on the middle school structure and support provided to students and staff • Changing the FY15 Tier System from three tiers to two tiers will provide more consistency within the dean role across all middle schools SY 14 ‐ 15 Standard SY15 ‐ 16 Proposed Standard Tier 1: 0 ‐ 1099 = 1.0 Dean NA Tier 2: 1,100 ‐ 1,299 = 2.0 Deans Tier 1: 0 – 1,199 = 2.0 Deans Tier 3: 1,300+ = 3.0 Deans Tier 2: 1,200+ = 3.0 Deans SPB pp. 90 ‐ 91 & MS Dean Executive Summary 11

Special Programs • The 2015 ‐ 16 Proposed Staffing Standards allows for every high school to receives 1.0 FTE for special programs • Since FY13, four high schools received additional FTE’s to supplement their special programming needs. They are Dominion High School, Loudoun County High School, Broad Run High School, and Park View High School • The High School Director has worked closely with these four schools to limit the impact of the reduction of FTE’s • Our goal is to move to a formula driven differential ‐ based allocation, perhaps based on FRL 14

SBP pp.140 ‐ 141 Virtual Loudoun • In FY16, Virtual Loudoun is projected to be self ‐ supporting with revenue projections being $782,000 • Nearly 1,000 students were enrolled during the Summer of 2014 • This summer there will be support (both on ‐ line and face ‐ to ‐ face) for ELL students and to assist with technology concerns • Presently about 160 students are enrolled and enrollment remains open • A supervisor and an instructional specialist are being added to provide planning, development, implementation, direction, and assessment of the online campus

ELL Registration Center SPB pp.62 ‐ 65 • Establishing an ELL Registration Center has been identified as a critical need by the ELL Advisory Group • Staffing will include: ELL Coordinator, Bilingual Counselor, and a Screening Assessor • This center will restore lost instructional time by centralizing the screening/registration process and removing responsibility for screening from classroom teachers • Reduced labor on the part of attendance/registration staff at base schools • Higher reliability in screening will be the results due to inter ‐ rater reliability of core screening staff • Allow for consistency in transcript evaluations and course placement 19
