GOALS FOR STUDENT INSTRUCTIONAL EXPENDITURES
In accordance with I.C. 20-42.5-3-5, Southern Wells Community Schools shall strive to increase the current percentages between the expenditures for the student instructional categories and other expenditure categories for the next fiscal year by identifying efficiencies in all expenditure categories. Strategies for implementing the goal:
1. The school district shall work to increase efficiencies through participation in joint purchasing either through the Region 8 Education Service Center or the State of Indiana.
2. The school district currently participates in joint ventures with other school districts for special education and career-technical education services and will pursue increased opportunities for joint ventures.
3. Southern Wells will explore strategies to reduce non-operational expenditures.
2022 School Corporation Annual Performance Report (APR)
General Explanations
The APR is a report on the performance of schools and school corporations (districts) in your area. The goal is to provide information regarding the progress schools are making to help students become college and career ready. Where possible, this report contains three years of data to show trends – not just this year’s results. In addition, the state average is also shown for comparison purposes. There are additional indicators that are available on the Indiana Department of Education’s website (inview.doe.in.gov), including data broken out by different student populations, such as race, gender, income level, and special education.
Indiana educators and citizens have developed higher academic standards for all students. These standards are necessary to prepare Hoosier students to be successful in life, whether their next steps are enrollment, employment, or enlistment leading to service. For high schools, you will see graduation rates and the percentage of graduates who plan to pursue a credential or certification beyond their high school diploma.
Other important data are provided, such as average attendance rates and indicators of school safety, including expulsions and suspensions. Additional financial information is also provided, including how much is spent, on average, for each student; how much teachers are paid; and the percentage of corporation students who are in special education classes or gifted and talented classes.
