The district’s latest five-year forecast still projects that the district will be out of money by fiscal year 2016.
The Brecksville-Broadview Heights Board of Education approved its latest five-year financial forecast on Monday, and the news is good, but not great, for the district. The good news? The forecast reflects changes the district has made through its latest teachers and staff union contracts. The decreased spending due to salary freezes and other measures means that the district won’t have a negative cash balance as soon as it thought. But the district still expects to spend more than it brings in each year of the forecast, and Treasurer/Chief Financial Officer Rick Berdine thinks the district will have a negative cash balance—or be out of money—by fiscal year 2016, which begins on July 1, 2015. This is an improvement from May’s forecast, …

The state has released the preliminary ratings for districts and schools.
The state has released the rest of the state report card information, and the news is good for Brecksville-Broadview Heights schools. While the data is still preliminary, as of now, the district has again achieved the highest possible state report card rating for the 2011-2012 school year: “Excellent with Distinction.” School and district report cards are usually released at the beginning of the school year, but that timeline has been pushed back while the state auditor investigates whether some districts manipulated attendance data. Some preliminary data—without the ratings—was released in late September. The final results and the PDFs of the report cards won’t be published until the state auditor’s investigation is done, according to the…

Check out the routine Brecksville-Broadview Heights students performed this morning as part of the event.
Brecksville-Broadview Heights students took a minute this morning to get active as part of the 2012 JAM World Record event. At 10 a.m., participating students across the country stopped what they were doing and took just one minute to exercise. Maria Schneider, physical education teacher at the middle school, said the event raises awareness of the importance of being active. The JAM organization came up with a routine for everyone to do, but the Bees put their own twist on it, adding a move from the viral video “Gangnam Style” at the end. Check out the YouTube video above that Schneider added of some of the middle school students practicing their routine. And if any teachers, principals or students snapped some photos this morning, feel …

There are no overall ratings yet, but Brecksville-Broadview Heights parents, teachers and community members can take a look at how the district did on some of the important indicators like graduation rate and adequate yearly progress.
Traditional state report cards for local school districts have been delayed, but the Ohio Department of Education today released some preliminary data to give the public an idea of how their local school district performed last year. The information does not include an overall rating, such as “excellent” or “effective,” that the public is used to seeing. The state is investigating whether some districts manipulated attendance data and is holding off on releasing final report cards until that investigation is complete. The available information includes the percentage of students who scored proficient or higher on state tests and the graduation rates for the 2011-2012 school year report card. It also includes the value-added measure—which …
