Supplemental Narrative

Additional Explanations

Pension Liabilities, Net of Pension Deferred Outflows & Inflows

As a charter school in the state of Minnesota, participation in two multiple-employer, cost-sharing defined benefit pension plans is statutorily required. The school's contributions to the plans are also regulated by statute and are based on a percentage of salaries and wages earned by current employees. Therefore, while the Net Pension Liability is reported on the school's Statement of Net Position, the school is not in a poition to directly control the liability or the subsequent liquidation of the liability.

Related Board Members

Per MN Statute 124E.07, Charter Schools are required to have a licensed teacher as a member of the Board of Directors. Meggie Martin and Susan Scheller are Board Members, but receive compensation for their services as teachers.

IRS990/Desc0The 2015-2016 school year was the School's twelfth year of operation. Spero Academy has a long tradition of surveying the schools major stakeholders. They continued the practice in spring 2016 by surveying students, families, and staff members. Some specific survey items measure an overall gauge of stakeholder satisfaction. Forty-one surveys were returned from families and thirty-four staff members returned the surveys. The results of these items indicate a high level of satisfaction for all stakeholders. Results indicate that: 97.5% of parents (n=40) reported satisfaction with the academic education programs.95% of parents (n=38) reported satisfaction with the special education programs (one response chose not to answer this question)97.5% of parents (n=40) reported satisfaction with the specialist programs offered (Phy Ed, social skills, media, music) Items with the highest level of endorsement for each survey are noted below. Detailed survey results are reviewed by the schools administrative team and the Boards Accountability Committee and used for continuous improvement discussions.Parent Survey: Items with the highest level of endorsement were: The communication you received about your childs progress. (95%)Satisfied with the special education programs. (95%)Satisfied with the academic programs (100%)Satisfied with the Positive Behavior Intervention System (PBIS). (98%)Satisfied with specialist programs (98%)Employee Satisfaction Survey: 93% of licensed staff responded with agree or somewhat agree the seven questions asked about satisfaction. 94% of paraprofessional staff reported agree or somewhat agree on five of eight questions asked about satisfaction. 83% of paraprofessional staff reported agree or somewhat agree on the remaining three of eight questions about satisfaction.The school uses the survey information to improve programs and services. The review of the survey data indicated areas that the school will address during the 2016-2017 school year. A revision of the Student, Family and Staff Satisfaction Surveys are objectives within the 2013-2017 Strategic Plan. Benchmarks for annual performance will be set at the time of revision implementation. The improvement areas for 2016-2017 include: Providing more information to students and families about homework and an associated schedule for assigning homework. Communication received from the teacher. Staff professional development planning The School-Wide Positive Behavior Intervention and Support (SW-PBIS) committee has worked with students and staff to develop a School-Wide Matrix. The Matrix reflects that there are expected behaviors in each of the STAR framework areas and taught and implemented specifically for each area of school behavior. The STAR framework consists of Safe Choices; Try your Best; Acceptance; Respect & Responsibility. The matrix includes the lunchroom, hallways/stairwell, recess, restrooms, arrival/dismissal/bus, safety drills and assembly/concerts. Each teacher including specialists and classroom has also developed their STAR criteria for what it looks like in their classroom, including specialists. Implementation of the SW-PBIS has contributed to a positive and supportive school climate and culture and sets the expectation that all students and staff will succeed given the appropriate instruction and practice around expectations. The SW-PBIS Leadership Team continues to work with teachers and classroom staff around gathering, documenting and reporting student behaviors that do not promote school success. Spero Academy instituted the School-wide Positive Behavioral Intervention and Support Plan during the 2011-2012 school year. Results from the 2014-2015 Benchmark of Quality survey are at 91%. The Subscales that were measured included, Faculty Commitment, Discipline Procedures, Data Analysis, Expectations Developed, Reward Program, Lesson Plans, Implementation on Plan, Classroom Plans and Program Evaluation.
