CPS Board of Education Community Learning
Centers Guiding Principles

In order to serve more fully the needs of our
students, and to support the improvement of their
academic and intellectual development, all
Cincinnati Public Schools will engage their
communities in improving student achievement. As
centers in the community, the schools and their
partners should foster strong collaboration, set
high expectations, embrace diversity, and share
accountability for results. Each school in the
district will assess the needs of its student
population using the OnePlan process. As a
result of that process, the school will develop
the partnerships needed to enhance opportunities
for student success and community
investment. Where the school and its community
deem it appropriate, those partnerships may
result in organizations and agencies locating at
the school site to deliver services. When that
occurs, the school will be defined as a community
learning center.    Approved 5-21-2001

Report Summary and Recommendations
Recommendations for maximizing CLC impact at
Valley Hills Elementary in 2006-2007 are as
follows Develop summer programming, particularly
for students who are experiencing academic,
emotional and social difficulties. Increase the
number of school-community partnerships to
increase the potential for community involvement
and impact. Prioritize schools needs according to
the priorities established in the Schools One
Plan, the District Strategic Plan and
corresponding supporting data. Develop a plan for
improving performance on the three domains ranked
highest in priority, Additional resources will be
needed to achieve goals not obtained including
support with technical assistance, data entry,
and referral resources for community mental
health services. Outcomes should also be
considered in light of student demographic and
community factors which may explain some of the
variability in the trends that were reported.
Brief Report Summary The CLC at Valley Hills
Elementary Schools met 8 of its 10 objectives for
2005-2006 and is progressing on the two other
indicators as evidenced by improvements in trends
from 2004-2005 and improvements in school AYP,
rating and enrollment trends. In order to
accomplish the overall objectives of the CLC,
which is to catalyze school-community
integration, social-cultural enrichment and
life-long learning for students, parents and
members of the community, it will be imperative
that (1) programming better target student
academic and behavioral needs, (2) additional
school-community partners be established to
increase social-emotional health resources, and
(3) parent participation be enhanced through
relevant and innovative programming that promotes
engagement and satisfaction with the CLC/school.
