PART I: CURRENT SCHOOL STATUS
SCHOOL PROFILE/DEMOGRAPHICS
Brief History and Background of the School
DSLC is special education center that is located in Lakeland and serves students who live north of 540A, west of Berkley Road, to the Hillsborough/Polk County line and to the Sumter/Polk County Line. Doris Sanders Learning Center’s campus includes fourteen classrooms, a general multi-purpose area where assemblies and meals are held, a satellite kitchen, and an office suite. We have a full-service physical education area that includes a baseball field, track, and three playground areas. We also have a garden area and shade house that are utilized by the agricultural department. Many of our students are involved in an I.T.V. program.
Of the fourteen classrooms, three are used for primary intermediate classes, six are used for mixed abilities and ages, two are behavioral units for students who have severe to moderate intellectual functioning, and the remaining three are secondary classes. Our secondary department focuses on academics, agriculture, industrial arts, career exploration and home economics. Our school maintains a 3:1 ratio of students to teachers in all classes except the secondary level classes that have a slightly higher student teacher ratio. ESE students must demonstrate mastery of the Sunshine State Standards for Special Diploma. Mastery can be demonstrated through successful completion of courses which address relevant benchmarks, through curriculum-based assessment practices or the use of alternative assessment procedures. These standards are based on Goal 3 Student Performance Standards and the Sunshine State Standards. The Sunshine State Standards for a Special diploma are organized around four domains: Curriculum and Learning, Independent Functioning, Social and Emotional Behavior and Communication.
Unique School Strengths for Next Year
Doris Sanders Learning Center was awarded a $20,000.00 grant from McKesson Corporation to be used to enhance medical needs of our students. Through this grant the school made construction improvements for the student benefit and purchased needed materials for the classrooms to better care for the needs of the students.
Due to lack of skills in Reading Doris Sanders has qualified for an Academic Instructional Facilitator to work with the students to increase mastery of Access points to increase achievement and thus make AYP. To meet the needs of our students we have been given a job facilitator to work on career skills on our campus as well as in the business community.
Three of the classroom teachers and our ESE facilitator have attended training for Learning Focused strategies and will begin determining the best way to implement the strategies in the classrooms.
School staff have been trained in the use of Smart boards which have been installed in all classrooms along with projectors and light speed audio systems.
All teachers and paraprofessionals are highly qualified to meet Title I requirements.
Unique School Weaknesses for Next Year
Due to the changes in the scoring of the Florida Alternate Assessment test, we had a larger percentage of the students score below grade level in reading and math: 79% in reading and 84% in math. In the 07-08 school year 60% of the students scored below grade level in reading and math.
Student Demographics
Doris Sanders Learning Center (DSLC) is an Exceptional Student Education Center serving students ages 3 to 22 years of age with varying exceptionalities including 97% intellectual disabilities, 1% orthopedically impaired, 1% autistic, 1% emotional/behavioral disabilities. Our current student enrollment is 85-90, which includes 52% Caucasian, 36% African American, 8% Hispanic, 1% Indian and 1% Asian. During 2008-09 school year 69.88% of our students were on free/reduced lunch. There are currently no students served under the ESOL program. Due to our percentage of students who are on free and reduced lunch we are in our second year of School-wide Title I Program services
Student Attendance Rates
Attendance for the 2006 – 07 school year was 83.54; 2007 – 08 was 85.02 and for 2008 – 2009 was 84.34. Polk County attendance was 94.56 for 2008 – 2009 but the attendance rates of our school fluctuate due to the medical conditions of our students.
Student Mobility
The district definition of mobility is: “The enrollment or withdrawal of a student at any time during the school year not including the first 15 days of school divided by the total number of students who attended the school during that year after the 15th day.” The mobility rate at Doris Sanders decreased from 26.85 in the 2007 -2008 school year to 19.42 in the 2008 – 2009 school year. The mobility of our students is usually caused by McKay scholarships students obtain or moving for financial living arrangements.
Student Suspension Rates
2006 – 2007: In-school 8, Out of school 20; 2007 – 2008: In-school 3, Out of school 25; 2008 – 2009: In-school 0; out of school 9. Our suspension rates for in-school and out of school have decreased over the three year span.
Student Retention Rates
Our retention rate is based on the number of students who stay after 12th grade. We are an ESE center and our students can stay until they are 22 years of age. 77% of our 12th graders were retained.
Class Size
Since Doris A. Sanders Learning Center is a school for ESE students low class size is of utmost importance. All of our classrooms are multi-graded ESE classrooms staffed with one teacher and at least 1 – 2 paraprofessionals which leads to a low student to adult ratio. Classes in the school contain less than 12 students per class.
Academic Performance of Feeder Pattern
We are one of three ESE center schools in the district and all of our students are staffed based on their individual needs from the schools in our area. An IEP meeting is held and the committee decides if the student needs a separate day school.
Partnerships and Grants
Community activities are held with Texas Cattle Company, Realty World Homes of Distinction, McKesson Corporation, Community First Credit Union, TJ's Bridal Wear and Bright House TV. The school received a $20,000.00 grant from McKesson Corporation to use for medical needs of our students and we received a Blue Energy Star award for the conservation of energy in our school.
