Education officials say Nevada schools are safeNevada’s public schools may need academic improvement, but they’re safe, Nevada education officials said Friday.
Statistics gathered in compliance with the federal No Child Left Behind Act listed Nevada with 44 other states as having no “persistently dangerous” schools.
The designation was based on the number of citations for criminal offenses as defined by Nevada Revised Statutes.
If a school is listed as unsafe according to the NCLB standard, parents may send their child to a different school. A student who is the victim of a violent criminal offense must be allowed an immediate transfer to a safer school under the policy.
The release of the list comes a day after school officials said that 13 of the state’s 17 counties made the state’s watch list of schools not making adequate yearly progress.
Michael Fitzgerald said the department was pleased that no school made the dangerous list. The list does not include harassment, intimidation and bullying, offenses that Fitzgerald said schools must continue to guard against.
“Every school in Nevada, every school in the country has issues of safety and violence that do impact the learning experience,” Fitz-gerald said.
“We know where violent criminal offenses occur — homes and neighborhoods,” he said. “We still need to work on bullying, name-calling, isolation, discrimination, the things that don’t make NRS criminal offenses.”
Washoe’s efforts work
A preliminary report that eight Washoe County schools may have earned the dangerous designation was a mistake.
“Washoe County, Nevada sent all the incidents reported, whether a criminal citation had been issued or not,” Fitzgerald said.
Steve Mulvenon, Washoe County schools spokesman, said Friday he was glad the misperception had been corrected.
“It was our own mistake,” he said. “Once we clarified with them what they wanted and went to the police logs and records, the number of incidents was significantly less and well below the threshold.”
Katherine Loudon, Washoe County coordinator for substance abuse prevention and school safety, said the district is focusing on ways to cut violence and substance abuse.
“We’re doing more about the climate, about how kids feel about being in schools. Do they feel safe?”
She said a 2001 survey indicated that 87 percent of the district’s high school students said they had never been involved in a physical fight on school property.
“We do violence intervention programs at all grade levels,” she said. “Kids who do end up getting involved in physical violence are required to attend with their parents in the classes that basically cover anger management.”
On the watch list
During a news conference Friday, state Superintendent Jack McLaughlin said 430 Nevada schools were evaluated for the watch list, those schools that have not made enough annual progress. And 96 year-round schools still are being looked at due to a later testing calendar, he said.
The “working list” released Friday included 146 schools, or 34 percent of those evaluated that have failed to make adequate progress for one year.
McLaughin said, by comparison, that Florida placed 90 percent of its schools on the list and Pennsylvania 67 percent.
Districts that had no schools on the list included Lander, Lincoln, Eureka and Storey counties, Nevada.
“Our staff worked hard,” said Storey County Superintendent Henry Kilmer. “We knew what was expected. We didn’t have much time to prepare, but we lucked out in doing the right things.”
Kilmer said the same issues affecting special education and English-as-a-second-language students applied in Storey County even though the district only has four schools, 500 students and 45 teachers.
“When you talk about special education students, that’s one of the reasons we’re not on the list,” he said. “Knowing that those kids had to increase their scores, our teachers really worked with them. We do have a Hispanic population, but it is small.”
Aida Tadeo, principal of the Mariposa Academy of Language and Learning, said the 2-year-old Reno charter school was undeterred by the designation.
“We will continue to do what we do best which is teach,” Tadeo said. “We follow the same standards as the district. Our expectations for student achievement remain the same.”
The academy is the only charter school in Nevada where English and Spanish are taught to elementary school students. Tadeo said the enrollment had doubled in the second year from 95 students to 188.
“Our board of directors is really focusing on getting us situated in a permanent school site,” she said. “We’ve added a kindergarten component and that is new this year. We are positive and continue to take it one day at a time.”
The schools’ watch list is to be followed by a list of school districts designated as not making adequate yearly progress, McLaughlin said.
“Every child is on some accountability list and that’s important,” McLaughlin said. “That’s good. It really means individualized instruction.”
