by impos!ng on Oviatt Dean Rodney Martinez, to spend
a portion of his day at Lakewood. Since Principal Jill
Anderson is also the Director of Elementary Special
Education, Chris Larson will spend a portion of his day
at Lakewood, dealing with special education issues. Ad-
ministrators will pick up Chris' work at the secondary
level. Curriculum Director Mark Crady will also relo-
cate to the Lakewood Building.
Kim Olesen, middle school home economics teacher,
has also resigned. You may have noticed that the adver-
tisement in the DM Register asked for halftime or
fulltime home economics candidates. We may reduce
that position to halftime and change the 6th grade home
economics offering, if possible. Since home economics
is an area of teacher shortage, we anticipate much diffi-
culty filling this position.
As you can imagine, these moves are difficult, since
these positions were justified. Also, the work of others
will be made more rigorous and complex as a result.
However, our goals help guide our thinking;
1. "All students will read proficiently by the end of
3rd grade"
2. "College and career readiness upon graduation"
The small classroom sizes at Oviatt help achieve Goal
#1. It is my intention to preserve them as a top priority.
Goal #2 is driven by our Advanced Placement classes
and enhanced rigor at the secondary level. These im-
provements are responsible for our increases in ACT
scores, scholarships and college placements. These pro-
grams are also a priority. The availability of the state-of-
the-art Warren County DMACC at Southridge Mall
makes changes in programming inevitable for career
readiness by 2014. This project is also a priority.
So, we will attempt to prioritize our needs around
our two major goals and preserve the programs respon-
sible for those goals. I will keep you informed as the
process moves on.
MAYOR'S MOMENT
Concluded from p.1
ponics marijuana, six pounds of methamphetamine, 103
pounds of "ice" and 102 doses of prescription pills.
In addition to the above events, the officers put in
652 hours of training on critical tasks, OSHA guidelines
plus specialized training at academies and other formal
schools. This equates to four-and-a-half times the mini-
mum legal required training which is reflected in the
superb quality of service that we are provided. It also
reflects the individual officer's desire to be proficient in
their tasks so as to be ready to help in a time of need.
The call volume for 2011 was largest (approximately
1,750) from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. and approximately 1,200
calls for service from 4 p.m. until midnight. Even though
there are always inherent risks in this profession, the
general tendency is for more violent incidents increases
in the evening and early morning hours. So you can see,
it is not just an 8 to 5 job for our police officers. When
you have the opportunity, thank our officers for the great
services they provide.
