“The great thing in this world is not so much where you stand, as in what direction you are moving.” – Oliver Wendell Holmes
KIRK & SPOCK
A man is driving down the road and runs out of gas. A few moments later, a bee flies in his window. "What seems to be the problem?" asked the bee. "I'm out of gas," the man replied. The bee told the man to wait right there and flew away. Minutes later, the man watched as an entire swarm of bees flew to his car and into his gas tank.
“Hey Kirk, how can I get the Peace River Shopper Subscription?” “Spock, all you have to do is email angie@dancollins.biz and every Monday afternoon before the Shopper comes out, you will get the link emailed to you. All you do is click on the link and there you go, your very own shopper to read at your convenience.” “That sounds easy Kirk, can you write that down for me please?” “Sure Spock. Angie@dancollins.biz.”
“Every truth passes through three stages before it is recognized. In the first, it is ridiculed. In the second, it is opposed. In the third, it is regarded as self evident.” – Arthur Schopenhauer Page 30
After a few minutes, the bees flew out. "Try it now," said the bee. The man turned the ignition key and the car started right up. "Wow," the man exclaimed. "What did you put in my gas tank?" "BP," answered the bee.

“THE STATUE”
Peace River Shopper
The men back in town had learned their lesson. They decided that the old drunk man must have been wrong. Surely he was drunk and made a mistake. Besides, they couldn’t find anyone who would go out and look for the gargoyle. After they had their big meeting, it was decided to just leave the gargoyle alone. Besides, they wouldn’t know which one or even how to ask who it was, so the whole town decided to just let it go. With no more search parties, Henry and Bruce had plenty of time to learn things from each other and to become good friends. Time went by and Henry taught Bruce just enough English so they could communicate. Broken English was better than no English. On the other hand, Henry was not doing as good with his gargoyle talk, but over the next few months, they were able to work things out. The day came that Henry had to get some supplies. Town was the only place that he knew to get them, so they decided to make the trip. Bruce was not very happy about going to town, actually neither was Henry but it had to be done. Then Henry remembered a little place outside of town that just might have those supplies he needed so, they headed for that place instead of town. The owner was a mean old man. He lived and worked the store with his daughter Ellie. When Henry and Bruce got there, the owner saw them coming and locked the door. Henry gave the door a little knock and started yelling to open the door. The old man had seen Bruce and there was no way he was going to open that door. He had seen other gargoyles before and did not want one in his store. But Henry was desperate, so leaving without the supplies was not an option. Finally, the owner yells through the door and says that Henry can come in but the monster has to stay outside. Even though Henry didn’t like that, he went in to get his supplies. Bruce stayed outside and walked around to the back of the store. Behind the store was an old barn. The store owners truck was back there along with assorted boxes and bags. Down one side of the barn was a path. At the end of the path was a door. The door was painted red, a real bright red. In the middle of the door hung what looked like a mask. The door had long pieces of hair and long claws hung over it. The door was old and worn and had a funny looking bell hanging from a large rope like material. As Bruce make his way back to the door, what he thought was a hanging mask was actually a cut off head of a gargoyle. The more he looked, he could tell that the hair and claws were also from a gargoyle. Continuing to look around, he found a crossed tied piece of rabbit skin around a claw on the floor. Bruce stopped and stared at the piece of rabbit skin. His sister wore a crossed piece of rabbit skin. Was this his sister that everyone thought had left the pack??? Chapter 7 by Bumpy Thermos

In order to provide a clear picture of the current status of Nocatee Elementary School and the direction that we are moving, I want to take a few minutes of your time to address several areas that may generate questions from employees throughout the district.
Background Information The State of Florida began grading schools in 1999, using performance on FCAT as the primary factor in determining a school grade. Between 1999 and 2012, Nocatee Elementary had always maintained a school grade of C or higher. In 2013, when Florida introduced new and more demanding state standards, teaching these standards became increasingly challenging, and student assessments became more rigorous. As a result, the Nocatee school grade fell below a C for the first time in 2013. Currently, Nocatee Elementary has improved t o within three points of a C grade. Due to Nocatee Elementary School remaining a D for the past three years, the state gave the District the following three options to support school grade improvement:
• • •
The District closes the school and redistributes the students to other schools in the district. The District closes the school and allows it to be re-opened as a charter. The school remains open and under district control with the support of an “external operator” that will provide professional development, coaching, guidance, and leadership training.
The superintendent recommended, and the School Board approved the third option.
MGT: The External Operator The School District of DeSoto County began learning about external operators by communicating with other districts that also selected the third option. Several external operators were contacted or interviewed, and their proposals were submitted to the District for consideration. MGT Consulting Group’s proposal assured a partnership with the district, was more affordable, offered more comprehensive services than other providers, and had a history of success in raising school grades; therefore, MGT was selected to work with Nocatee Elementary during this critical school year. MGT has started providing a variety of services to Nocatee Elementary School. These services include:
• • • • • •
Assessing current school needs Providing professional development to teachers Conducting a thorough academic review of the school (courses, placements, scheduling, budgets, policies, vision statement, curriculum) Providing on-site and virtual coaching for teachers Engaging administrators in further leadership development Developing curriculum resources and assessments that align with the more rigorous standards.
Meetings with the State Board of Education The District submitted the External Operator Plan to the Florida Department of Education in February 2018. In July, the Chancellor ordered DeSoto school officials and MGT to appear before the State Board to review the plan. After three monthly meetings with the State Board, the District is still seeking final approval. Final approval is anticipated at the October meeting. The State Board meetings in which the District has participated have been broadcasted for public viewing. Many of our District employees have viewed parts or all of these proceedings and have come away asking for clarification of impressions they formed from watching those proceedings. Here are some of the impressions and the District’s response:
•
Nocatee Elementary School is closing False. Nocatee is and will remain open and under district control.
•

Even with MGT serving as our external operator, all Nocatee employees remain employees of the School District of DeSoto County and are subject to the terms of the agreement between the Union and the School Board. True. That fact has never changed.
What’s Next? The District is attempting to comply with all State rules and regulations pertaining to Nocatee Elementary School during its “Turn-Around” year. We are pursuing full State approval of the contract we have with our External Operator. We are attempting to fill all teaching vacancies with certified teachers who are rated as effective or highly effective if a state VAM score is available. We are supporting our teachers by providing the needed training in how to understand and deliver a more rigorous curriculum. We are supporting our administrators in their efforts to become more effective school leaders. We are relying on the expertise of MGT to coach and guide Nocatee Elementary toward the improvement of student performance and the attainment of a higher school grade.
