School Climate Survey for Parents
Reflections on the Eight Fault Lines: Challenges Met and Foundation Laid
When Dr. Kriner Cash was selected as the 12th superintendent of Memphis City Schools in
June 2008, he quickly went to work on analyzing data to gain an evidence-based perspective
on the 23rd largest district in the country. The data revealed eight "fault lines" in the
district's profile that, left unaddressed, could seriously limit the new administration's
effectiveness in providing a world-class education for all students.
The evidence showed that half of the district's 8,500 entering kindergarten students were
arriving on their first day without the benefit of a high-quality, structured Pre-K experience.
Data showed that these students were significantly behind their counterparts in literacy and
numeracy. With strategic investments and deliberate attention to the district's Pre-K
programming, more than 2/3 of all kindergarten students now have high quality Pre-K
education.
Health problems were all-too-common for the district's children. Of the 60,000 students
who received health screenings, more than one in five failed hearing tests, more than one in
five failed a vision screening, and nearly one third of the students were found to be obese.
Dr. Cash initiated the creation of four region-based health clinics to serve the needs of
students with chronic health issues and in the past year, the clinics expanded their care to
include the families of MCS students.
Finding that more than 30,000 students across the district were overage for grade, a fault
line complicating conditions associated with dropout rate, graduation rate, and student
behavior and classroom management, Dr. Cash led the creation of a multi-faceted
intervention including: 1) creation of a Pre-K to third grade continuum where standards-
based reporting -- rather than traditional report card grading -- which allows students and
parents to know more about student progress than ever before; 2) implementation of a no-
retention policy for students in the continuum to address the prior practice of retaining
students in the lower grades; 3) development of an EdPlan -- essentially an IEP for all
students to keep students on track toward graduation; and 4) creation of four MCS Prep
Academies, one in each of the four regions of the city, to specifically address the academic
needs of overage students in high schools. More than 1,200 students have graduated from
the MCS Prep Academies in their three years of their existence. The MCS graduation rate
for 2011 was 72.6%, one of the highest among urban districts in the country.
Student safety was a problem in the year prior to Dr. Cash's arrival. Two weapons incidents
in the 2007-08 school year made national headlines and created a context that necessitated
intervention and action. Data showed that approximately 2,000 major offenders were
directly causing a substantial number of the behavior incidents observed in the district and
indirectly impacting others. Through programs like SHAPE and GRASSY, the district reduced
the number of serious targeted incidents from more than 140 per 1,000 students to fewer
than 15 in 1,000 in just four years. Region-based Truancy Assessment Centers have made
significant strides in driving down the districts truancy rate.
With a mobility rate comparable to other urban districts, data showed that one in three
MCS students moved at least once during the school year. For many students, five and six
and more moves was not uncommon. Under Dr. Cash's guidance, the district adopted a
Theory of Action that aligned the teaching and learning centrally, establishing a common
curriculum and pacing framework for a district previously accustomed to a uniquely
implemented reform model for every school. That move set the stage for the coming
implementation of the Common Core State Standards, the national effort for alignment of
curricular relevance and rigor.
After additional analysis, teacher effectiveness was also identified as a fault line for the
district. Data showed that 1 in 5 teachers left MCS in their first year of teaching and 2 of 5
had left the district within their first three years. Meanwhile, the percentage of teachers
with TVAAS results at Level 1 or 2 was approximately 40%.

One of the main indicators of any districts success is the college readiness rate of its
graduates. For MCS, the college readiness rate as determined by meeting or exceeding ACT
benchmarks on the four subtests (English=18, Math=22, Reading=21, and Science=24) was
revealed as an additional fault line. The college readiness rate for MCS has hovered near
5% for the past four years.

Finally, Dr. Cash's analysis found that the entry and exit of students from the district ---
called In/Out Migration as the fault line --- was destabilizing schools from year to year as the
number of students in the district fluctuated by as much as 5%. The district instituted and
enhanced the offering of Advanced Placement courses in all schools and doubled the
number of Optional Schools. Dr. Cash also oversaw the elimination of tuition charges for the
children of MCS staff who live out of district to encourage teachers and other staff members
to enroll their children in MCS. This practice infused many committed students and families
back into the Memphis City Schools.
Having found eight fault lines through the extensive review of data, Dr. Cash and his
leadership team went to work on solving the challenges identified. And although the work is
not complete, the systematic efforts to address the major challenges the district faced in
2008 laid the foundation for the nationally-recognized strategies and successes that have
followed.
In 2011-2012, the department of Strategic Planning and Volunteer Services:
Screened 4,458 Level II volunteers, who served our schools as classroom assistants,
room parents, field trip chaperones, hall monitors and in other volunteer roles.
Screened 842 Level III volunteers, who served our schools as mentors, tutors, coaches,
overnight field trip chaperones, and extracurricular assistants.
Served 174 students through CONNECT mentoring.
Matched 383 tutors to 720 students through Our ChildrenOur Future tutoring
program.
Supported approximately 600 businesses, faith-based groups and non-profit
organizations through the Adopt-a-School program.
