II. School Climate

School Safety Plan
This section provides information about the school's comprehensive safety plan.
 
School Safety and Emergency Response Plans Safe School and Emergency Response Plans are on file
at our school and the district office. Plans are regularly reviewed, and staff is trained annually.
Evacuation drills are held on an ongoing basis and staff members using dangerous chemicals also
receive training.

There are four key elements of a safe school plan:
• Safe schools are caring schools. Students in safe schools feel respected and know that the people care
about them and expect them to succeed.
• Safe schools are built through the cooperative effort of parents, students, staff and community
members.
• Safe schools communicate high standards. Students know that learning and achievement are
encouraged and highly valued.
• Safe schools are prepared. Ongoing training opportunities allow students and staff to increase their
opportunity to deal with conflict, anger and other threats to safety. Safe schools have security checks on
a regular basis to identify potential physical hazards or the school’s vulnerability to crime and vandalism.
 


School Discipline Practices
This section provides information about the school's efforts to create and maintain a positive learning environment, including the school's use of disciplinary strategies.
 
 

At Bauer Speck School, you will find a positive nurturing environment for students, families and staff.
Students are recognized for positive behavior and academic achievement on a daily basis in classrooms
and monthly at awards assemblies.


Expectations/Behavior

The staff and families hold high expectations for the behavior of students. Students are taught to act in a
responsible manner and take responsibility for their actions. They are expected to treat each other and
adults with respect.

Grades and Absences
Student grades and absences are monitored to identify students who need extra help, and appropriate
intervention can take place through student and parent counseling, student study teams, trained
volunteer advisors, guided support groups, group and
individual education on substance abuse, child abuse issues, and parenting education.

Substitute Teacher Availability
This section provides information about the availability of qualified substitute teachers and the impact of any difficulties in this area on the school's instructional program.
 The district has a pool of substitute teachers available for assignment when a classroom teacher is absent. By State law, credentialed teachers may substitute at any grade level and in any subject. We try to place substitute teachers in their area of expertise. On rare occasions when substitutes are
unavailable, administrators and other properly credentialed staff are assigned to cover classes.
 
 

Teacher Evaluation Process
This section provides information about the procedures and the criteria for teacher evaluations.
 
 Teachers and administration collaborate through an established evaluation system. The principal formally evaluates tenured teachers every two years. Temporary and probationary teachers are evaluated yearly. All teachers are observed frequently. The evaluation may include instructional techniques, adherence to the curriculum, the learning and environments, and other assigned professional duties, as well as monitoring student progress. A formal evaluation includes teacher/administrator conferences, goal setting, classroom observations, and a written evaluation. If a teacher’s performance is not effective, the principal identifies areas requiring improvement and develops a program for improvements with the teacher. The principal is evaluated every year by the superintendent.
