The
purpose of the Great Falls Public Schools' Profile is to provide
meaningful information that is designed to help the School Board,
staff, and public understand and evaluate how well our schools are
doing. The ten indicators that have been selected to describe the
district's effectiveness are modeled after the State Education Profile
Developed by the Montana Office of Public Instruction.
Meaningful assessment
starts with a base line from which to make comparisons. In some
cases, we have compared ourselves with the state and the nation. In other cases, we have
compared ourselves from one year to the next. Of the two methods,
the latter is probably better as it compares Great Falls students
to Great Falls students.
I particularly
want to thank Lonnie Yingst, Dick Kuntz, Chris Worman-Engren,
Denise Conrad, Judy Higgins, Bob Odermann, Judy Snow, and Katie
Myers for the time and effort they have spent compiling this data.
Thanks also to the Great Falls Public Schools Art Department for
the student artwork and the Great Falls Public Schools Print Center.
Walking the fine
line between what to include and what to leave out of this profile
has been a real struggle, but we have begun the process and plan
to improve each year. Please call me if you have questions, ideas,
or concerns after you have read it. I would be glad to sit down
and chat with you.
Sincerely,
Bryan Dunn, Ed. D
Superintendent of Schools
