Hello Ann Arbor Public Schools Community

It is an excellent day in Ann Arbor Public Schools as we release this State of the Schools 2014 report. is overview highlights district progress this year in critical areas of our work, including student achievement, enhanced educational program offerings, arts and extracurricular activities, as well asdistrict finances and student enrollment.

e Listen and Learn Tour last year helped us prioritize our work: continue improvement of student achievement, improve district fiscal outlook and longterm financial sustainability, update and enhance educational program offerings to engage more of our Ann Arbor students, upgrade the maintenanceand cleanliness of our schools, offer consistent opportunities for public engagement to ensure frequent and accurate communication, improve respon-siveness and problem solving in the day-to-day operations of the district.

is report demonstrates that we have made a solid start on the goals outlinedby our community. Enhanced educational programs are now successfullylaunched, and student enrollment is increased by almost three times the amountof any prior year in more than a decade. is enrollment includes 255 additionalstudents from within AAPS boundaries who chose the Ann Arbor PublicSchools this year. As enrollment has increased, class size in AAPS has decreasedthis year.

AAPS students, staff, and schools continue to regularly achieve national distinction; recently released ACT scores place AAPS among top-performingdistricts nationally. While there are notable improvements in student achieve-ment across all groups of students this year, there remain five areas where we continue a laser focus on minimizing disparities and realizing more dramatic improvements with students: African American, Hispanic, Second Language,Special Needs, and Students Impacted by Poverty. While AAPS has realized un-precedented gains in overall student achievement during 2014 and currentlyranks among the highest performing districts in Michigan, we will continue theimportant work on our critical mission to improve achievement for all students.

In addition, as demonstrated by the 2014 audit, the district fiscal outlook is stabilized as indicated by a significantly diminished use of fund equity over thatof recent years; a solid budget plan is currently in place to add to fund equity nextyear. It is notable that this improvement in fiscal sustainability was achieved with-out cuts in direct services to students and classrooms.

I want to thank the Ann Arbor Public Schools staff for their incredible work andsacrifice this year; they are an exemplary staff and they are the reason that ourschool district is top performing and our children discover, grow andsucceed each school day. Ann Arbor also benefits from a highly engaged and supportive parent community that serves as a rare gift for our children and staff.As a result of strong partnerships between students, staff, parents, and community,signs of health and success abound in Ann Arbor Public Schools.

In the Ann Arbor Public Schools, we are on a pathway of innovation, and success;we are currently extending and enhancing the quality for which Ann Arbor Public Schools has long been well known across Michigan and aroundthe world. Ann Arbor Public Schools is an exemplary district that is on the move.

Please note that this State of the Schools serves as a summary report; in-depth reports on progress in each highlighted area are currently posted on our AAPS website at: www.a2schools.org.

ank you for your support of our childrenand the Ann Arbor Public Schools.

Sincerely,
