Kenneth James, Superintendent of Schools FEB 11 2003 OFFICE OF DESEGREGATION MONITORING PREPARED BY: ~~onnie A. Lesley, Associate Superintendent for Instruction DATE: February 27, 2003 SUBJECT: Middle School Transition Program Evaluation Background Information One of the group of programs requ ired by the federal court to be evaluated with the participation of an external evaluator was the Middle School Transition Program. The District made the transition to middle schools in fall 1999. One of the four "draft" program evaluations presented to the Board of Education in summer 2000 was the one on the Middle School Transition for school year 1999-2000. Steps Taken as a Result of the Program Evaluation The District took no steps as a result of the 1999-2000 program evaluation, since, as is noted in the document, the data gathered that year were considered to be baseline data, against which to evaluate progress in the future. That statement does not mean that no changes in the middle schools have occurred since 1999-2000. In addition to numerous individual school level changes, the following significant District-led changes have occurred: Full phase-in of new mathematics curriculum, instructional strategies, materials, and assessments
Full phase-in of new science curriculum, instructional strategies, materials, and assessments

The resumes of Dr. Moore and his associate, Dr. Theresa Akey, are attached, establishing their qualifications. Administrator Participation in Conducting the Program Evaluation In addition to Dr. Moore and his associates, specifically Dr. Theresa Akey, the following LRSD staff participated in the evaluation: Dr. Ed Williams, Department of Planning, Research, and Evaluation Ms. Mona Briggs, Department of Planning, Research, and Evaluation Dr. Kathy Lease, Assistant Superintendent for Planning, Research, and Evaluation Principals of the eight middle schools, who participated in the administration of assessments and who completed surveys and administered student surveys Teacher Participation in Conducting the Program Evaluation All grade 7 teachers who administered the SAT-9
and all grade 8 teachers who administered the Benchmarks
All grades 6-8 teachers who completed surveys and/or who administered student surveys I Board Memo February 27, 2003 Page Three Impact on African-American Student Achievement The study conducted by the external evaluator did not attempt to draw any conclusions related to this research question since the student performance data available for the study were "baseline, and there are serious questions about the appropriateness of the achievement measures and about the validity of some of the other performance outcome measures." Recommendation That the Board of Education approve the Middle School Transition program evaluation for submission to the federal court. BAL/adg ' ~ ~ ~ "" ""- "" - - ~ .a. T.
