2011-12 Buncombe County Schools

Annual Report

The mission of Buncombe County Schools is to collaborate with stakeholders to provide a safe, caring, rigorous

and engaging learning environment that prepares all students to be Career and College Ready.

BCS Up Close

Change is sweeping the country, impacting life and learning in communities and schools. Like all change, there are upsides and down. The economic landscape has placed 22% of Buncombe County children in poverty, and many adults are out of work. At the same time, the State of North Carolina has been recognized as taking the lead in the country for its “Race to the Top” efforts to prepare all children to be Career and College Ready. Hopefully this means a better future in store for students, families and our community.

Buncombe County Schools is changing, too. While struggling to meet continuing budget challenges, our schools actively embrace national Core Curriculum standards and seek ways to expand STEM and global opportunities for students and staff alike (STEM= Science, Technology, Engineering, Math). We strive

to be both more efficient in the services we pro-vide, and more effective in the classroom.

BY THE NUMBERSBCS is the state’s 11th largest school system and the largest district in Western North Carolina. We employ nearly 4,000 people to serve approxi-mately 25,500 students, making BCS the county’s second largest employer.

DIFFERENTIATED INSTRUCTIONBeyond the core academic programs, BCS provides an array of specialized programs and differentiated instruction to meet the learning needs of students. These include:

• Exceptional Children’s (EC) program and related support services for students with Individualized Ed-ucation Plans (IEPs); current EC student population is 13.8%.

• Academically or Intellectually Gifted (AIG) pro-gram; current AIG student population is 16%.

• English as a Second Language instruction and tran-sition programs for English Language Learners (ELLs); Current ELL population is 1,736; 64 different home-languages are represented in BCS. The Newcomer Center prepares secondary level ELL students with low English proficiency and/or limited formal edu-cation that have transitioned to an American public school for the first time. Current ELL student enroll-ment is 19.

Mission, Vision and Core BeliefsThe Mission of Buncombe County Schools is to collaborate with stakeholders to provide a safe,

caring, rigorous and engaging learning environment that prepares all students

to be Career and College Ready.

The Vision of Buncombe County Schools is that our students will reach their full potential and

become successful, responsible citizens in a diverse, global society.

BCS Core Beliefs:

We exist to foster the development and well-being of the whole child.

All students can and will learn when instruction is engaging, rigorous and individualized.

Learning environments must be safe and supportive, with equity of opportunities

for personal growth.

Understanding and respecting diversity enriches the individual and thecommunity.

Success requires shared responsibility, collabora-tion and communication among all staff, families,

students, and the community.

Resource allocation must reflect our mission, vision and beliefs.

Data-driven, continuous improvement requires accountability, commitment and

responsible leadership.


• Title I reading instruction in 23 School-wide Title I schools

• Progressive Education Programs (PEP) for students (K-12) with severe disabili-ties; Current PEP student population is approximately 150.

• Day-treatment programs for qualifying students (K-12). Day treatment interven-tion programs are designed to be short-term. Current total student enrollment (K-12) is approximately 46, ranging from 14-16 students per school level. Each day treatment program is located on a school campus: Oasis (K-5) is located at Woodfin Elementary School; New Beginnings (6-8) is located at Owen Middle School; and Program for Academic and Social Success (PASS) (9-12) is located at Community High School.

• Career and Technical Education (CTE) is offered in all intermediate, middle, and high schools, with nine CTE concen-trations based on Pathways or Career Clusters; CTE student enrollment (6-8) is 5,857 and 9,514 (9-12).

Finding ways to support and enhance pro-grams such as the ones mentioned here, despite the severe budget cuts of the last four years, is one aspect of managing the “new normal.” Increased participation from parents, volunteers, businesses, non-profits, faith-based organizations and the community at large is the “silver lining” that will augment budget cuts, including the lack of supplies and reduced support personnel.

Special Initiatives


Across the country, school systems and universities are responding to the increasing need in the workplace for instruction in the areas of science, technology, engineer-ing and mathematics, otherwise known as “STEM.” Expanding and enhancing such instruction during diffi-cult budget years would be difficult without the funding BCS received through federal “Race to the Top” funds.

Race to the Top is a federal program that awards innovation in education. NC is one of 12 states to receive funding--$400 million dollars over a four-year period. Half of this funding is to be used for state-wide initiatives, including technology to enhance all reform areas, and the remainder distributed to individual school systems.

From the state funds, Buncombe County Schools was awarded $3.5 million, of which $2.8 million is be-ing used to meet NC Race to the Top objectives, which include the introduction of “Project Lead the Way” curriculum into middle schools, focused on Applied Engineering and Bio-Technology. BCS initiated a three-year phase-in of Project Lead the Way (PLTW) curriculum programs at the middle and high school

levels. PLTW facilitates the integration of STEM-themed concepts such as applied engineering throughout the entire K-12 curriculum.

Funds will also be used to create a STEM based High School, most likely to be located at the to hire a full-time Science Education Specialist along with a data analyst and instructional coaches, and for “Gizmo” software which provides additional support for science classes.The remainder of the funds allocated to BCS is required to support the NC “Cloud“ Technology initiative.

“Sustainability” has become a buzzword across the nation, with good reason. Not only is it possible for schools to become more energy efficient and help the environment through efforts such as recycling, they can also save taxpayer dollars and teach valu-able lessons in the process.

Starting in the 2010-11 school year, with the help of grants provided through the Land of Sky Regional Council, Buncombe County Schools began a recognition program to salute the many schools doing terrific “green school” projects.

Schools are honored for their efforts pertaining to environ-mental awareness, energy savings and water conservation, and given a special Green Schools banner to hang in their school. Many schools years have developed exciting community part-nerships in the process, a trend we hope will continue in the years to come.

Green Schools

Global EmphasisEfforts to expand global awareness and world lan-guage education are a key priority for Buncombe County Schools. The world in which our students will live and work will extend far beyond the moun-tains of western North Carolina. That’s why the school system is one of 14 systems participating in the North Carolina Global Schools Network. As such, the system has been working to: • Expand world language course offerings; • Offer Mandarin Chinese in all high schools; • Partner with the Center for International Under-standing to employ two Chinese guest teachers, and to send sponsored delegations to visit China; • Collaborate with partner Chinese school in the Jiangsu province; • Create a Global Education Committee com-posed of school system staff, college and business leaders, and parents to facilitate global initiatives;

• Partner with World View established by UNC-Chapel Hill to support global education through high quality professional development; • Pilot a Spanish language immersion program (SPLASH) initiated in a kindergarten class at Glen Arden which will extend through third grade; • Create a system-wide Global Action Plan and require all schools to have their own individual plan.

Graduation Initiative


The Graduation Initiative began in 2006 as a part-nership between BCS Buncombe County Com-missioners and Eblen Charities. The Graduation Initiative is committed to examining the systemic, long-term changes in schools (K-12) that must occur to improve graduation rates.

The Initiative uses data to identify areas for change and works with school leaders and staff to build ca-pacity within schools and in the district to create this change. Among the primary areas of focus are im-proving student attendance and supporting students at key transitions: elementary to middle school, and again from middle to high school.

The charts illustrate the results of a multi-year col-laborative effort to reach a true milestone in reduc-ing the number of dropouts and improving the graduation rate. Although losing even one student as a dropout is not acceptable, the trend is certainly in the right direction!

A remarkable success story: • 17% decrease 2009-2010 • 35% decrease from 2006-2007 when the Graduation Initiative began • 27% decrease from the 10-year average.

“The graduation initiative doesn’t begin with high school or even middle school; it starts with kindergar-ten. We know if students don’t have a strong foundation K-3, their future success is at risk.” --Dr. Tony Baldwin, Superintendent

The safety and well-being of our children continues to be a top priority in our district. BCS’ efforts were enhanced in 2005 with the awarding of a $246,000 federal grant to assist in school violence prevention, crisis management and emergency response proce-dures.

Uses of the federal money include: • Property Accountability Study - Comprehensive campus blueprints.

• SchoolMessenger® - Rapid phone notification system for emergency calls to parents/guardians and employees.

• Training and Staff Development - Threat assess-ment, Emergency Drills, Incident Command and Crisis Trauma Protocol and Training.

The funds were also used to produce videos for school use and to show parents and the community, using a practice exercise at North Windy Ridge. The videos can be viewed on the Buncombe County Schools website at www.buncombe.k12.nc.us under the Safe Schools section of the Services tab.

NATIONAL INCIDENT MANAGEMENT SYSTEMAll BCS principals and many central office staff have been trained on the National Incident Management System (NIMS), used throughout the country by emergency responders. NIMS is the first-ever stan-dardized approach to incident management and re-sponse. Developed by the Department of Homeland Security and released in March 2004, it establishes a uniform set of processes and procedures that emer-gency responders at all levels of government use to conduct response operations. Buncombe County Schools personnel meet frequently with area law enforcement and emergency response personnel to practice NIMS procedures with tabletop exercises.

ABOUT BULLYINGBuncombe County Schools strives to foster a cli-mate of respect and personal responsibility among students, and does not tolerate bullying in any form. Anyone with knowledge of a situation involving bul-lying can either report the incident to school officials, or if preferred, may report the situation anony-mously by either going to the school’s homepage to complete an online form (click on “Report Bullying”) or by calling our Anti-Bullying Hotline at 828-225-5292 to leave a message.

All calls or completed forms are addressed by school officials within two business days. Thank you for your concern and assistance in providing our students with a positive learning experience.

POSITIVE BEHAVIOR SUPPORTA major initiative to achieve positive outcomes for students involves planning and implementing school-wide Positive Behavior Support and Inter-ventions (PBIS) in all Buncombe County Schools by 2015. There are currently 13 schools successfully implementing PBIS, with 6 additional schools plan-ning for a Fall, 2012 launch.

Safe Schools


The Budget Picture


BCS Funding Priorities:• Classroom Teachers come first at all levels.

Our students depend on them for a quality education.

• Grade K-3 Teaching Assistants are vital to ensure individualized attention for students who need it the most.

• Instructional Support is more important than ever. School counselors and social workers meet basic needs in a challenged environment;

Media Coordinators facilitate best practices in applied research & technology.

Since the 2008-09 school year, Buncombe County Schools, like other NC districts, has struggled to make ends meet and adjust to what is being called the “New Normal,” characterized by:• Continued dependence on federal funding to replace reduced state funding;• Reduced staffing in many areas strains the district’s ability to meet expectations;• State unfunded mandates further stress employees throughout the system; and• New program initiatives or enhancements must be supported locally (local funds, volunteers, or both).

A significant change to the district’s $218 million Operating Budget has been the increased percent-age of federal funds. However, the following two federal funding sources will dry up within the next two years-- sources which currently support human resources and educational initiatives:1. EduJobs--$5.28 million received in October, 2010 will end on September 30, 2012;2. Race to the Top (RttT)--$2.9 million received in November of 2010 will end on December 23, 2014.

Furthermore, BCS is faced with a $1.2 million rever-sion to the state in 2012-13.

Of the current Operating Budget, excluding Capital Outlay, 84% is spent on human resources (salaries and benefits). Operating Budget sources are dis-tributed as follows: State (61%); Local (25%) and Federal (14%). Per-pupil expenditure is $7,607.

The district’s 2011-12 budget, including operational, capital and child nutrition funding is:

• State Public School Fund $131,732,820• Local Current Expense Fund $ 49,238,907• Federal Grants Fund $ 30,761,251• Capital Outlay Fund $ 20,170,362• Child Nutrition Fund $ 13,304,831• Other Specific Revenue Fund $ 5,043,690 TOTAL $250,251,861

Local funds may supplement the basic educational program and are appropriated by local Boards of County Commissioners. The BCS Board of Education has no tax levying or borrowing authority and is required to maintain accounting records in a uniform format. The Comprehensive Annual Financial Report (CAFR) is available on the BCS Finance website: http://www.buncombe.k12.nc.us/domain/12.

The cost of public education in North Carolina is fi-nanced primarily by the state, which provides resourc-es to implement a Standard Course of Study. Federal funds in recent years have grown from 7% to 14% as State funds have decreased.


Accountability &Accreditation


Buncombe County Schools (BCS) is privileged to be a member of AdvancED, which is the world’s largest education community, representing over 23,000 pub-lic and private schools in 30 states and 65 countries. AdvancEd provides tools and structures for schools and school districts to improve student performance.

BCS was among the first to participate in district ac-creditation in 2006. This continuous improvement process occurs every 5 years and BCS is now prepar-ing for district re-accreditation.

District Accreditation focuses on 3 important areas: high standards, continuous improvement, and quality assurance to the entire school district. It is our duty to ensure there is alignment and support between the school district and all of its schools. BCS believes it is imperative to operate as one school system rather than a system of 42 individual schools. Stakehold-ers tell us it is essential for their children to attend schools with national accreditation. It is comforting to families to know their schools are accountable, have systems in place for continuous improvement, and are committed to raising student performance. These are confirmed through the work of AdvancED.


BCS Core Essentials:

• Ensure high school students meet graduation requirements.

• Provide a sound K-3 foundation of balanced literacy.

• Work towards equity in curriculum across all districts.

• Continue to reduce the dropout rate through the Graduation Initiative K-12.

• Prepare students to succeed in a21st century global economy.

STUDENT PERFORMANCE SNAPSHOT

SATsThe SAT is recognized as the nation’s most widely used standardized college admission test. It is a benchmark assessment of students’ critical reading, mathematical reasoning, and writing skills. BCS students do well on their SAT’s, as evidenced by these 2011 statistics:• The BCS total mean score is third highest in North Carolina among school systems with more than two high schools, surpassed only by Chapel Hill-Carrboro City and Wake County;

• The BCS sub-total mean score is forty-four (44) points higher than the national average;

• The BCS total mean score of 1,547 is surpassed only by five of the 115 school systems in North Carolina: Chapel Hill-Carrboro City (1,750), Watauga County (1,590), Asheville City (1,572), Wake County (1,568), and Hickory City (1,551). ADVANCED PLACEMENTFor the second consecutive year, Buncombe Coun-ty Schools was one of 381 systems to be placed on the AP Achievement List for increased student participation in AP courses and maintaining a high number of scores at level three or greater. 1,056 students took a total of 1,765 AP courses in 2011.

BCS is ranked as Buncombe County’s second largest employer, preceded by Mission Health Care System. The system has nearly 4,000 full and part-time employees, committed to high quality standards, expecta-tions, and performance. In fact, as of April 2012, 99.32% of the teachers employed by Buncombe County Schools are considered “highly qualified” according to state of North Carolina requirements.

Moreover, for the second year in a row, Buncombe County Schools ranks 19th in the nation for the number of National Board Certified Teachers in a school system. 464 BCS teachers have achieved this high standard. National Board Cer-tification is the highest credential in the teaching profession and participation is voluntary. Teachers achieve certification through a rigorous performance-based assessment that takes from one to three years to complete. Students attending Buncombe County Schools are the direct beneficiaries of having these top notch teachers in their classrooms.

The table below shows the number and percentage of all licensed employees dis-trict-wide categorized by years of experi-ence. The majority (58%) has less than 15 years experience, followed by 41% of licensed staff with 15-29 years experi-ence. Whereas, licensed staff with 30 or more years experience represent the smallest percentage (8%) of all licensed employees in BCS.

Our Employees


Buncombe County Schools recognizes outstanding teachers each year through the annual “Teacher of the Year” program. Each school faculty selects their school “TOY,” then teachers who choose to go through the process vie for the honor of BCS “TOY.” The district win-ner then competes at the regional level. If selected the regional win-ner, state competition is the next step. Above center, the BCS 2012 TOY, Chris Brown, a social studies teacher from North Buncombe MS, is surrounded by then BOE Chair Steve Sizemore, Dr. Baldwin, one of her students, and NBMS principal Sherry Barnette.

Auxiliary Services


BCS operates the 7th largest transportation system in North Carolina Public Schools. Each day, approximately 16,500 students ride BCS buses. The district’s fleet totals 291 buses driving more than 16,600 miles per day. Students are transported safely and efficiently as indicated by the 2010-11 Bus Efficiency Rating of 98%.

Throughout the year, the Transportation Department seeks to raise awareness of school bus safety by participating in a variety of local, state and national programs, such as the “Love the Bus” program for students and the Bus Road-e-o for bus drivers.

Child NutritionBCS has a mission to improve the nutritional quality of each child’s diet. Our schools provide an opportu-nity for optimal learning and good health by provid-ing high quality food, excellent service and good nutrition at a reasonable cost.

According to the January 2012 Meals Plus Student Eligibility Report, the per-centage of all students approved to receive federal subsidized assistance in the form of free or reduced meals, is now almost 55%, an 11.8% increase from 2006.

Career Technical EducationThe mission of Career and Technical Education (CTE) is to help empower students for effective participation in an international economy as world-class workers and citizens. Programs in Career and Technical Education are designed to contribute to the broad educational achievement of students, including basic skills such as reading, writing and mathematics, as well as their ability to work inde-pendently and as part of a team, think creatively and solve problems, and utilize technology.

Community partnerships are an important part of the Career Technical Education program. Stu-dents enjoy participating in a variety of off campus programs, such as the “Mission Possible” health education program with Mission Hospital, and the “Biltmore EDGE” program with the Biltmore Com-pany. This year, the National Association for Tech Prep Leadership awarded the “Employer Partnership Recognition National Award” to the Asheville-Buncombe-Madison Career Pathways Partner-ship at their conference on October 12. The na-tional award was accept-ed by representatives from Buncombe County Schools, AB Tech and the Biltmore Company, for a program that provides internship and workforce training opportunities to at-risk students from area schools.

The Biltmore Company, which specializes in hospitality and tourism, hosts the annual Career Pathways Student Lead-

ership Academy eachNovember, participates in the summer camps program, and created and continues the EdGE (Educat-ing Generations of Employees) program. During the year-long EdGE program, students hear from Biltmore Employees, then visit the estate. Biltmore employees also serve as mentors when students shadow them in the workplace. After shad-owing, students can apply for the Hospitality Camp Internship Summer Program.


Students from Erwin High School participate in “Hospitality Camp” at Biltmore, learning skills to help jumpstart careers in food service, hotel management and other hospitality-related ser-vice industry positions. In addition to actual work skills learned, while at the camp students have the opportunity to practice “soft skills,” such as presentation and speaking skills and problem-solving.

Career and Technical Education is offered in all intermediate, middle, and high schools, with nine CTE concentrations based on Pathways or Career Clusters; CTE stu-dent enrollment (6-8) is 5,857 and 9,514 (9-12).

• e Buncombe County Board of Education


The Buncombe County Board of Education is composed of seven members elected by voters throughout the entire county. Six members live in and represent their sub-districts, and one mem-ber serves at-large. Meetings are held on the first Thursday of each month, typically in the Board Auditorium, located at the BCS Administration Offices, 175 Bingham Road, Asheville, NC.
