As this newsletter reaches your mail, I can hear a collective sigh from students and cheers from parents. It is that time of year to focus on the structure of school. While the students have been enjoying a break, administrators, secretaries, teachers and especially our custodial staff have been working harder than ever to make the schools ready for the students. I want this year to be the best year yet!
It is hard to believe that I am starting my ninth year at Farragut. It has been an exciting journey. The district has come a long way in that time. We have made great strides in the classroom and that will continue in 2010. The buildings and grounds continue to improve. The board is working hard to make a new heating and cooling project a reality.
At the beginning of the school year we started sharing multiple teachers with the Hamburg School District. Starting last September the board approved sharing the Business Manager, Transportation Manager, Director of Operations (buildings and grounds), Human Resources and Superintendent. After football season it was apparent that the boys would need more players for the 2010 season. The boards of Farragut and Hamburg hosted a meeting to see if a joint effort would work for the teams. It was a positive meeting and another meeting was scheduled during the winter. At that meeting students spoke up and stated that they not only wanted football to happen but they wanted to do it for track and baseball. In the end, all the “team based” sports, junior high and varsity, were shared and the community and students picked the team name of Nishnabotna and the mascot as Blue Devils. Track finished with a great season placing high in all the meets. Two boys represented the new team at state! The softball team had an exciting year and the baseball team made it to state!
This summer a meeting between the boards was once again hosted in Hamburg. The presentation was about sharing, past, future and Whole-Grade Sharing. Again it was a positive meeting with great feedback from the community. You can see the presentation with community questions at http://www.farragutschools.org/vnews/display.v/ART/4c3cb7e6a3ba0.
The boards of both districts welcome community members to take tours of both secondary buildings. They want input from the constituents on which facility would be the best middle school and which would be the best high school if Whole-Grade Sharing is pursued. Another community meeting will be hosted on September 23rd.
With the help of our communities both districts can work together to make a superior school for all students!
Sharing 2010-11
Organizational Sharing Positions: Business Manager, Director of Operations, Director of Transportation, Director of Human Services and Superintendent.
Academic Sharing Positions:
Family Consumer Science, Librarian, Counselor, Junior High Math and Science, Auto Technology, Southwest Iowa Virtual Academy, Driver’s Education, Health Sciences, Band, Choir, Advanced Sciences, Computer Aided Drafting College Prep Writing, Economics, Psychology, and Spanish.
Exciting New Staff
Amanda Diehl is the new Family Consumer Science teacher for the coming year. Amanda is coming to us from Wichita, Kansas. She attended Western Kentucky University for her bachelor’s degree.
Stephanie Stephens taught at East Union Schools before moving back to Western Iowa. She will be teaching science in the secondary building.
Teri Emberton will be the new junior high and high school Choir teacher. Teri has taught in Hamburg for many years and will be providing choir for both districts. It is wonderful to have an experienced teacher stepping in to our program!
Nikole Schubauer will be the new elementary principal and HR director. She received her bachelors and masters degree from the University of Nebraska at Kearney. The last five years she has taught third grade at Plattsmouth Community Schools and was the kindergarten teacher in Holdrege Public Schools her first four years teaching.
Welcome to 2010
The 2010-11 school year is just days away from beginning. In 1984 the movie 2010, the sequel to 1968’s movie 2001: A Space Odyssey, made its way to theaters. Although I wasn’t a huge fan of the first movie, I couldn’t wait to go to the theaters and see what the future would look like. Now we are halfway through 2010 and it still doesn’t look like the movie. That is okay, the real 2010 is more technologically advanced in many ways.
Resolution of Election
The Farragut Board of Education approved a resolution to call a special election to approve the language for use of the one-cent state sales, services and use tax revenues. This will renew our language that we are currently using as allowed by state law. The current language ends on December 31, 2010. The language for the ballot is explained below.

Shared Board Meeting for Athletics
The announcement: On November 4th, the Farragut and Hamburg Boards of Education would like to invite their communities to a discussion on shared athletic programs. The discussion will be at the Hamburg Gym starting at 6:30 p.m. Please see both districts’ websites for an agenda and more information. www.farragutschools.org and www.hamburg.k12.ia.us
10% Cut
As you know the governor has cut the state’s budget by 10%. This is a harsh cut to school districts. Rest assured, we will continue to offer all the successful programs that we have for decades. The district will work through this setback. If you would like to hear more about this cut, Governor Chet Culver did an interview on Iowa Public Television on October 16, 2009. It is being rebroadcast on television and can be watched with transcripts at http://www.iptv.org/iowapress/transcript_detail.cfm?ipShowNum=3706.

A Special Thank-You!
I would like to send a special thank you to the Fremont County Community Foundation through the Community Foundations of Southwest Iowa for approving our grant for $4,640. Those dollars will be used to merge our physical education curriculum with exciting technology! This will be putting the power of Wii technology into our fitness program. Purchasing of the equipment has started and we hope to have everything set up before Thanksgiving.

October News 09
Shared Superintendent
September was the first month of the sharing arrangement for a superintendent between Farragut and Hamburg. By doing this I have learned a lot about each district and myself. But the most amazing thing I have learned is the fact that these two school districts can work together and build a better educational program for their students.
The most common question I am asked has to do with the drive. My answer will probably change when the weather starts to get bad, but for right now I am enjoying the 18 mile drive. It gives me enough time to think about what I am going to do when I get there and allows time to process the day on the way home. Most days Denise Stevens, Business Manager for each district, joins me on the trip.
Board Elections
The board elections are over and the measure for eliminating districts and reducing the amount of board members from 7 to 5 passed. Due to current legislation, school board elections are every other year in the State of Iowa. In 2011 there will be four board members up for election but only three will be replaced. In 2013 there will be three board members and only two will be replaced. Anyone living in the district can vote at either election.

Security Cameras
Like most schools, we want our campus to be as safe as possible. Students should not fear coming to school. This summer the school board made the decision to install 13 cameras around the district. As you can imagine, this was quite the news to students. Now that they are installed, students have mentioned to Mr. Swenson that they like having the cameras installed. It is a comfort for this generation to know that we are looking out for their wellbeing. Remember, this is a generation that only knows shopping in Wal-Mart under camera. As an elementary student I would shop at Ben Franklin’s 10 cent shop and the owner’s mother would follow us around each aisle. There has always been security, but I would take cameras over a grandmother stalking me any day!

September News 09
Board Elections
Don’t forget to vote on September 8 at City Hall. In the past, voting was held at the Admiral Manor, but has changed for this event. District I, II, and VI are up for election. Please call the school if you are unsure if you live in one of these districts.
Resolution of Election
The Farragut Board of Education has approved a resolution that puts a simple yes or no question on the ballot for the school board election on September 8, 2009. The measure that will be on the ballot is listed below this article. This resolution allows reduction of board members and at-large director status to happen at the next general election that will take place in 2011. Due to state statutes, at that election in 2011, three of the four board positions will be open for election. In the 2013 two of the three board positions will be elected.
Shall the following public measure be adopted?
_____ Yes
_____ No
To change the number of directors on the Farragut Community School District Board of Directors from seven directors to five directors and to change the method of election of directors from director districts to at large.
PTO Meeting
Please try to attend the next PTO meeting on Thursday, September 3 at 6:30 p.m. A strong PTO helps our school!
New(ish) Scoreboard
The scoreboard purchased in the mid 70s has ended its reign at the football field. The board asked me to find a used scoreboard to meet our needs at the field. I was able to purchase it before some other district made an offer. Mr. Swenson spent a weekend getting a U-Haul, picking up the board, and delivering it back here to Farragut. I also want to thank the Goltz family for their forklift and labor helping us unload it!
Our next adventure was taking down the old scoreboard and putting the new one in place. A special thanks to Mr. Nelson for making the new brackets and the use of his torch and portable welding supplies! A huge thanks to Brent and Steve Lorimor for bringing in two tractors to accomplish this feat! Another big thanks goes out to Tom Stevenson for helping install, hook-up power and coax cable. Without all this help, we wouldn’t have a functional scoreboard

Exciting New Programs
Virtual School
New this year is the South West Iowa Virtual Academy housed at Farragut CSD. Students from area schools will be able to take classes in a 3 period block or by class for credit recovery. Over 50 courses are housed online. This is the first kind of this type of school in our area.
Mobile Computer Lab
In the technical age we live in, teachers have asked for a mobile computer lab. This summer a “netbook” mobile computer lab has been purchased. K-12 teachers will be able to check out the lab for their room.
Business Room and Elementary Computer Lab
The business classroom and the elementary computer lab both have had major updates over the summer. Stop by anytime or during back to school night to see how they have been updated!

Exciting Goals Met!
Each year goals for reading, math, and science are developed and sent to the Iowa Department of Education. This year all three goals were met. Not only did students move from being non-proficient to proficient, but the percentage of students that moved from proficient to advance increased as well! Here is a summary of the goals based on the Iowa Test of Basic Skills and Iowa Test of Educational Development
Reading Comprehension
The percent of students non-proficient in reading during the 07-08 school year in grades 6-7 that have been in school for a full academic year and their learning is not guided by an Individualized Education Plan will decrease by one percent non-proficient in the 08-09 school year in grades 7-8. GOAL MET! There was a fifteen percent decrease in students that were non-proficient and an increase of eight percent of students that are in the advanced category.
Math
The percent of students non-proficient in math during the 07-08 school year in grades 9-10 that have been in school for a full academic year and their learning is not guided by an Individualized Education Plan will decrease by one percent non-proficient in the 08-09 school year in grades 10-11. GOAL MET! There was a five percent decrease in students that were non-proficient and an increase of eight percent of students that are in the advanced category.
Science
The percent of students non-proficient in science during the 07-08 school year in grades 6-10 that have been in school for a full academic year, their learning is not guided by an Individualized Education Plan and do not receive free or reduced lunch will decrease by one percent non-proficient in the 08-09 school year in grades 7-11. GOAL MET! There was a one percent decrease in students that were non-proficient and an increase of eight percent of students that are in the advanced category.
What we learned in Preschool and Kindergarten: Share…Share…Share
Over the past six years we have shared many programs, teachers and students. In these dark economic times it only means we must share more to provide quality programs. Below I have included a list of what we are planning to share next year as of 4-27-09. Students are still registering for classes and more talks continue, so please watch the website to see any additions in the near future!
