Wareham Schools Superintendent Kimberly Shaver-Hood reviewed her six goals for the past school year with the School Committee Wednesday night, in an effort to prepare for her final review in September. Included in those goals was the goal of technology, safe and secure environment.

Shaver-Hood said the schools would begin to implement the safety program known as ALICE. ALICE, which stands for Alert, Lockdown, Inform, Counter, Evacuate, focuses on training individuals to handle the threat of an active shooter. The program was developed by a police officer, after the Columbine shooting in Colorado in 1999.

“Next year [it will be implemented] in middle and high school,” Shaver-Hood said. “The following year, we would implement it in all schools.”

Shaver-Hood also said the schools now have an electronic check-in system, that will display information about an individual that could be of concern when someone checks in at a school.

In addition to technological security, Shaver-Hood mentioned educational upgrades to the Wareham Public School buildings. The John W. Decas School is currently outfitted with interactive projectors and there is a classroom of computers at Minot. The elementary school buildings will also soon have wireless internet access.

Shaver-Hood also said 800 new Chromebooks, a kind of portable computer, will be granted to the Middle School, and that the iPads the Middle School is using will be shifted to the elementary schools.

Other goals Shaver-Hood laid out included building capacity, which focused on “opportunities for educators and staff to attend conferences for professional development.”

“One of the catches for the person going ... is that they must come back and share what they’ve learned with their peers,” Shaver-Hood said. “We feel like this provides opportunities for many more people to gain from one person’s experience.”

Shaver-Hood’s third goal focused on increasing goal-setting for educators to make them better leaders.

“We’re looking at how to provide our students with the opportunities they need to be successful,” Shaver-Hood said. “We have a lot of work being done. We are not quite ready to share with the public, but we will.”

The fourth goal fell under the heading of operations and management and focused on becoming more efficient.

“We run a very tight fiscal system,” Shaver-Hood said.

Shaver-Hood’s fifth goal looked at community and family engagement. Shaver-Hood cited the recent kindergarten ice cream social at Decas as an example of a successful family program.

“We had so many families,” Shaver-Hood said. “I gave away so many sprinkles.”

The final goal was promoting a professional culture in the school system, which Shaver-Hood said related to empowering others.

“Part of my role, as a superintendent, is to make things happen for people by removing barriers,” she said. “To do that, I have to listen, we have to respond, but we all have to agree that we are here for the students. I hope my shared vision has come across in that manner.”

Other meeting agenda items included a vote on the school’s busing system, and voting on the approval of the district handbook, but both items were delayed, due to Committee Secretary Rhonda Veugen’s absence.
