October 15 Video Conference
NC Large District Superintendents

As a follow-up to our conference call on October 1, I am writing to invite your HR team and any others you wish to
designate to participate in a video conference on October 15 from 1:00-2:30 on the topic of the recent legislative action
on the 25% policy for four-year contracts.
Please send me the name and e-mail address for your district lead and a technology contact to help facilitate the video
conference.
CMS is able to handle five additional video conferencing sites beyond our location. I would propose the following six sites
for your consideration:
Charlotte-Mecklenburg hosting Union County / Gaston County
Winston-Salem Forsyth County/ Leslie Winner hosting Guilford County
Johnston County hosting
Wake County hosting Durham Public Schools / Tony Habit
New Hanover County
Cumberland County
I would also be happy to collect any written documents your district wishes to share and I will compile and send to all
conference call participants.
I know all districts will benefit from the sharing of our collective best thinking on this challenging topic.

I apologize for making this suggestion when I was not a part of last week's conference call. Is there any
chance you all might consider moving this back a few days? The NC Bar has a special session on
October 16 that Board attorneys from all over the state will attend. Our legal counsel believes there will
be insight into the AG's clarification of this issue at that meeting. Would it make sense to hold this
webinar discussion until the legal folks have weighed in? We are happy to host with no problems here,
just a suggestion. Bev

Congratulations Supt. Merrill and Wake County Public Schools
NC Large District Superintendent Consortium,

Yesterday, Wake County voters approved a $810 million school bond by a 15 point margin. The bond is part of a total $939.9
million construction program to provide for 16 new schools, major renovations at six schools and minor repairs to 79 schools.
New technology projects will be supported as well.
This is a milestone for Wake County, whose voters previously rejected school bonds that included a tax increase. The increase
amounts to 5.53 cents per $100 of assessed value.
Tony

Re: Congratulations Supt. Merrill and Wake County Public Schools
Thanks Tony.
On Oct 9, 2013, at 7:57 AM, "Tony Habit" <THabit@ncnewschools.org> wrote:
Yesterday, Wake County voters approved a $810 million school bond by a 15 point margin. The bond is part of a total
$939.9 million construction program to provide for 16 new schools, major renovations at six schools and minor repairs to
79 schools. New technology projects will be supported as well.
This is a milestone for Wake County, whose voters previously rejected school bonds that included a tax increase. The
increase amounts to 5.53 cents per $100 of assessed value.

Dr. Merrill,
Laura Carlson called me and asked if you would be participating in the video conference re: 25%
policy for four-year contracts, October 15, 1:00PM-2:30PM? I told her this is a Board meeting day for
WCPSS and that I would check with you. They are also looking for a location to do the video
conference. Dr. Ed Croom, Johnston County Schools, would like to come here because they do not
have the technology to do a video conference. Please advise.

As a follow-up to our conference call on October 1, I am writing to invite your HR team and any others you
wish to designate to participate in a video conference on October 15 from 1:00-2:30 on the topic of the
recent legislative action on the 25% policy for four-year contracts.
Please send me the name and e-mail address for your district lead and a technology contact to help
facilitate the video conference.
CMS is able to handle five additional video conferencing sites beyond our location. I would propose the
following six sites for your consideration:
New Hanover County
Cumberland County
I would also be happy to collect any written documents your district wishes to share and I will compile and
send to all conference call participants.

Re: NCLDSC Policy Recommendations FINAL 012714
Gary,
I was not really asking you to properly endorse, particularly since you may have some members that have trouble with the
Common Core in any shape or form. Perhaps simply being able to point to it as a policy opinion resource by the large district
superintendents is all I had in mind. It may be too politically costly for you to "endorse."
Thanks for thinking about it.

Dr. Merrill, We are discussing our thoughts on how to properly endorse this document. I have also reached out
to the Wake Ed Partnership and the NC PTA to see if they have similar plans (thinking we could do a joint
announcement), but have not heard back yet. I am planning to go ahead and send this out to all of our local
units this week to at least get them all looking at it. Thanks for sharing this with us.
I know we also discussed other board or city council meetings where it might be good for us to attend, so PLEASE
let me know if there are any future meetings, etc. where you might like to get us involved or just attend to show
support.
Thank You!

I talked to Ron Phipps and it is true. The national standards will not change but the local accountability will, including improved

Notes on State Board of Education Virtual Charter School Discussion

Yesterday the Virtual Charter School Report was presented to the State Board of Education for discussion. Members were very
critical of the report and the following issues were raised:
The report was one sided with the assumption that virtual charter schools were a forgone conclusion and the report
didnt provide any options;
The pros and cons of virtual charter schools were not properly identified;
The report did not address critical issues, especially funding formulas and impact to LEAs;
The recommended student teacher ratio of 1:40 is too high; and
The committee did not properly engage constituents such as teachers, superintendents and parents.
As a result of the conversation, staff was directed to revise the report and seek additional time from the General Assembly. If the
General Assembly does not grant an extension, the Board will host a conference call to review the revised report on March 19.

Teacher Tenure

Good morning. Tony asked that I forward this to you all.
Have a great day.
Laura
Teacher Tenure
Leaders in the Wake County and Charlotte-Mecklenburg school systems say that state legislators made a bad
decision when they replaced tenure with a system that will have teachers competing for a small number of four-year
contracts. The General Assembly voted this year to eliminate teacher tenure in 2018. In the meantime, school
districts across the state are being required to identify which educators will be offered a $5,000 pay raise as part of a
four-year contract if they give up their tenure. Roughly one-quarter will be offered the four-year deal. Some of the
most vocal complaints are coming from the Wake County and Charlotte-Mecklenburg school systems. Like their
counterparts across the state, the large systems are searching for a way to carry out the new state requirements. Im
hoping the General Assembly will talk with educators and look at the long-term consequences both intended and
unintended of this legislation before it does irreparable harm that will take years and years and years to fix, Wake
County school board member Kevin Hill said Tuesday at a school board meeting.
Charlotte-Mecklenburg Superintendent Heath Morrison said the four-year contract and bonus plan has raised a host
of questions, and threatens already-rocky teacher morale. But backers of the change say it provides meaningful
education reform by basing job security and pay on performance. They say the old system of giving tenure and then
basing pay on seniority rewarded ineffective teachers. Only in the warped world of education bureaucrats and
union leaders could a permanent $5,000 pay raise for top-performing teachers be branded as a bad thing, Amy
Auth, a spokeswoman for state Senate leader Phil Berger, a Rockingham County Republican, said in a written
statement. Historically, North Carolina public school teachers who have passed a four-year probationary period
have earned tenure, called career status.
Critics of the system, such as Berger, have pointed to the firing of 17 tenured teachers in the 2011-12 school year to
argue that too many bad teachers are still being employed. But supporters of tenure argue that it protects good
teachers from being fired unfairly, and that many bad teachers are encouraged to resign. Starting July 1, 2018, North
Carolina public school teachers will receive contracts of between one and four years. Teachers will work under
contracts that are renewed based on performance like nearly every other profession, Auth said. A big question
concerns how to determine which teachers will be offered the four-year contracts. Superintendents will present a list
of names to their school boards, which can modify the list.(T. Keung Hui and Ann Doss Helms, THE NEWS &
OBSERVER, 10/18/13).

Good morning. I think this looks fine. I wonder if there will be a way to schedule some other meetings
around the same day as our meeting with Chairman Cobey. In addition, I think we should think about
having some of these meetings by phone. Mo

Teacher Tenure

Good morning. Tony asked that I forward this to you all.
Have a great day.

Teacher Tenure
Leaders in the Wake County and Charlotte-Mecklenburg school systems say that state legislators made a bad
decision when they replaced tenure with a system that will have teachers competing for a small number of four-year
contracts. The General Assembly voted this year to eliminate teacher tenure in 2018. In the meantime, school
districts across the state are being required to identify which educators will be offered a $5,000 pay raise as part of a
four-year contract if they give up their tenure. Roughly one-quarter will be offered the four-year deal. Some of the
most vocal complaints are coming from the Wake County and Charlotte-Mecklenburg school systems. Like their
counterparts across the state, the large systems are searching for a way to carry out the new state requirements. Im
hoping the General Assembly will talk with educators and look at the long-term consequences both intended and
unintended of this legislation before it does irreparable harm that will take years and years and years to fix, Wake
County school board member Kevin Hill said Tuesday at a school board meeting.
Charlotte-Mecklenburg Superintendent Heath Morrison said the four-year contract and bonus plan has raised a host
of questions, and threatens already-rocky teacher morale. But backers of the change say it provides meaningful
education reform by basing job security and pay on performance. They say the old system of giving tenure and then
basing pay on seniority rewarded ineffective teachers. Only in the warped world of education bureaucrats and
union leaders could a permanent $5,000 pay raise for top-performing teachers be branded as a bad thing, Amy
Auth, a spokeswoman for state Senate leader Phil Berger, a Rockingham County Republican, said in a written
statement. Historically, North Carolina public school teachers who have passed a four-year probationary period
have earned tenure, called career status.
Critics of the system, such as Berger, have pointed to the firing of 17 tenured teachers in the 2011-12 school year to
argue that too many bad teachers are still being employed. But supporters of tenure argue that it protects good
teachers from being fired unfairly, and that many bad teachers are encouraged to resign. Starting July 1, 2018, North
Carolina public school teachers will receive contracts of between one and four years. Teachers will work under
contracts that are renewed based on performance like nearly every other profession, Auth said. A big question
concerns how to determine which teachers will be offered the four-year contracts. Superintendents will present a list
of names to their school boards, which can modify the list.(T. Keung Hui and Ann Doss Helms, THE NEWS &
OBSERVER, 10/18/13).

NC Large District Superintendent Consortium Meeting
When: Friday, December 06, 2013 7:30 AM-8:45 AM (UTC-05:00) Eastern Time (US & Canada).
Where: Sheraton, 421 South Salisbury Street, Raleigh, NC - Pin Oak Room
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
I have confirmed with Dr. Jack Hoke that this meeting will begin at 7:30 am. Breakfast served beginning at 7:00 a.m.
Sent on behalf of Maurice Green.

At our last meeting, we set a target to get our three position statements agreed upon by around November 15. Attached you will
find the statement on Common Core State Standards that was developed by Frank Till. Please review this document and
provide reactions to the group as soon as possible. Tony Habit has agreed to assemble the reactions and to review those
with Frank for any updates to the paper. Are these the recommendations we wish to issue regarding Common Core and
Essential Standards?
As a reminder, these statements should be general in nature; that is, they are not for a specific audience. We will extract key
messages from them for our upcoming meetings with the Governor and with legislators. The additional two statements, teaching
effectiveness and school choice, will be provided in the next few days.
Also, the NC Large District Superintendent Consortium is set to meet on Friday, December 6 from 7:30 - 8:45 a.m. at the
Sheraton, 421 South Salisbury Street, Raleigh, NC in the Pin Oak Room. Breakfast will be available starting at 7:00 a.m. This
will be an important meeting for the group as we will: 1) Nail down our positions; 2) Sharpen our focus on the proposed meeting
with the Governor; and 3) Update strategies in anticipation of the upcoming short session of the 2014 General Assembly and with
partners in business/industry.
Thank you for your speedy response and my thanks to Frank Till for developing this initial statement.

Public schools beat private schools - The Boston Globe
Sent on behalf of Mo Green.

Thought you might find this interesting references research we cited in the voucher position paper.
The following appeared on Bostonglobe.com:
Headline: Public schools beat private schools - The Boston Globe

Date: Dec 17, 2013
Christopher and Sarah Lubienski, education professors at the University of Illinois, had long taken it as a given that private
schools generally outperform public schools. But when the Lubienskis compared math scores from more than 13,000 public,
private and charter schools, they found that once they controlled for factors like family income, race, and location, public schools
were getting better results from their students. The Lubienskis locate the reason in a surprising place: private-school autonomy.
Paradoxically, independence and competition may actually be holding back achievement at private and charter schools.

Remarks today at NC General Assembly House Innovation Committee
Remarks House Innovation Committee Habit Dec 2013.pdf

Today I spoke to the recently convened NC General Assembly House Education Innovation Committee. The meeting included
Speaker Tillis and several key business leaders. In light of our support for the Large District Superintendent Consortium, I am
sharing a copy of these remarks. The Committee includes some key advocates for school vouchers and, as you will see, I
decided to emphasize school choice to avoid a direct criticism of vouchers. My intent here was also to point to some LEAs as
leaders for choice and innovation. It would have been counterproductive to confront vouchers in this setting. No mention was
made of the Superintendent Consortium or of your positions out of respect for the group and its process.
I welcome any critical feedback or recommendations.
Thank you,
Tony
