E-Mail:

Woodrow Hammond, Consultant

E-Mail:

C. Application History: This Applicant Group under the name of Boys to Men Community Charter School submitted and withdrew an application in 2017 to the Charter School Institute. The Board of Trustees felt they were not provided the necessary assistance and clarification from the Charter School Institute to resubmit a favorable application. The Board decided to seek advice to better strengthen their proposal. The Board decided to submit a Letter of Intent in the next round of funding from the New York State Education Department to open a Community Charter School.

REQUIRED ATTACHMENTS: Table 1 – Application Group Information, Attachment 5a: New Applicant and Prospective School Trustee Background Information form including a Signed Statement of Assurance and a signed Statement of Intent, Resume or Curriculum Vitae and Education Credentials.

space, parking, cafeteria, gym and green space. The school is wired with fiber optics to provide a more efficient state of the arts telecommunication system. Boys To Men Community Charter School is also exploring space options with the Rochester City School District (RSCD) for use of space in existing facilities and non RCSD properties within the City of Rochester, New York.

D. Target Population/Community Served: The Southwest and Northeast Communities are areas of the City of Rochester known as the "Crescent" and is characterized as having high crime rates and drug activity. The “Crescent” has the highest rate of poverty, poor housing stock, environmental hazards (particularly lead) and single-family households. These residents have the greatest needs, based on rates of poverty, unemployment, public assistance, teenage pregnancy and infant mortality. Typically, 90% of the youth at elementary and middle schools receive free lunches. 52% of these households are female with children under the age of 18. 28% of households receive public assistance and approximately 30% over age 25 have no high school diploma. The “Crescent” Communities have the largest numbers of student who are English Language Learners, Economically Disadvantaged, and Students with Disabilities, and those identified in our school's mission. Additionally, Rochester ranks 5th in the nation and #1 in the State of New York regarding poverty.

E. Planned Grades and Enrollment, using the required chart below to indicate grades, ages, and enrollment for each of year of the initial charter term.

F. Proposed Management and/or Partner Organization: Not Applicable

G. Replication: Not Applicable

H. School Overview: The Board of Trustees will govern Boys To Men Community Charter School. The Principal and Fiscal Manager are hired by and report directly to the Board of Trustees. The Assistant Principal, Coordinator of Instructional Support Services, teachers, auxiliary staff, and all other managers, report directly to the Principal and Designee. A team consisting of the Principal, Assistant Principal, and the Coordinator of Instructional Services will serve as building administrators. This team will provide supervision and evaluation of all school staff. The administrators, the Behavior Intervention Specialist, Coordinator of Instructional Support Services, and staff representatives (Team Leaders) make up the Instructional Leadership Team. Team Leaders are staff representatives with one teacher representing each grade. The Team will operate within a humanitarian student-centered philosophy, which will enrich student learning. Appropriate school staff will make home visits. Home-based communication and support will continue through the school year as needed. Our school has a Board of Trustees' Advisory Council and a School Parent Investment Council to assist in the on-going assessment of our educational mission and vision.

Boys To Men Community Charter School will provide a comprehensive, coordinated student-centered education program for boys in grades 6-12. Students will wear uniforms daily. The school's program is designed to provide remediation and instructional support to all students in need, contingent on data. Our school will have an extended school year of 220 days and a longer than normal school day from 8 am to 6 pm. The school will provide a structured extended day homework component, Saturday School, and an eight week Summer Enrichment Academy. A five- day summer orientation beginning the last week in August is required for all students and parents. Our program includes a two-tier approach where students will be assessed for either college or career choice. Certificates of Employability will be provided for career choice students. Depending on data, the school will provide individualized instruction for students with identified learning styles, Students with Disabilities, and English Language Learners. All students will have the opportunity to be engaged in continuous and successful learning experiences. Our design will include the following salient components: professional development every Wednesday afternoon, required summer orientation, appropriate and effective use of technology, critical thinking strategies, team building, decision-making activities, electronic portfolios (to monitor and maintain data on all students), summative and formative and diagnostic assessments. Student assessments will include the NWEA for Math and English, the Brignance Comprehensive Inventory of Basic Skills Revised (CIBS-R), and State Examinations. Our Instructional Program will utilize Skype as an aid for students who are absent with a long-term illness or other reasons that prevent their attendance. The school will provide the necessary

equipment. We have structured our Instructional Framework around "Five Design Tasks". The "Five Design Tasks" will incorporate the vision and mission of our school's instructional framework. The structure of our Academic and Instructional Program includes the following: Design Task 1 - Standards and Assessment, Design Task 2 -Learning Environment, Design Task 3 - Community Service and Support, Design Task 4 -Public Engagement, and Design Task 5 - High-Performance Management. The overall intent of the design tasks is to provide maximum learning opportunities for ALL students. The school’s supportive education environment includes community partners who make up our Five Star Program. The partners have committed to support our students in these five areas: Tutors, Careers, Volunteerism, Mentors, and Post-Secondary Education.

The school model will involve the entire family in the student’s education, through consistent communication and parent investments. Parents will be able to visit our website (www.boystomenccs.com) to monitor their child's progress and interact with the instructional staff. Our school will provide alternatives to traditional suspensions, such as community service and special school projects. Serious infractions will be facilitated through the school's Teen Court process, under the auspices of The Office of Student and Family Integrity. Our program will develop individual college and career planning to provide students with the required skills to design and be prepared for their life and educational goals. Our school will include a Character Education Component. Students will be emerged in six major traits of Character Education (Caring, Respect, Responsibility, Trustworthiness, Fairness, and Citizenship). Students in grades 7 & 8 will be able to take pre-high school courses opportunities for credit towards graduation. Students in grades 9-12 will take online courses for college preparation.

III. Enrollment and Retention Strategies A. To retain students in our targeted area we will hold community meetings in the area of

the City known as the "Crescent" to attract and recruit students who are Economically Disadvantaged, English Language Learners, have a disability, and those identified in our mission. The “Crescent” is an area of the City characterized as having the highest rate of poverty. This area is also home to many refugee families. We will distribute information on our school to agencies (such as Iberio, Catholic Family Services, Baden Street Settlement House, Charles Settlement House, Southwest Area Neighborhood Association, churches and doctor offices serving families classified as English Language Learners and Economically Disadvantaged. We will translate our school information materials into the most commonly spoken languages in those areas. In order to service children with disabilities, we will contact organizations and agencies such as Encompass, Reinvest in Youth, Hillside Family Services and The Southwest Area Neighborhood Center supporting children with special needs and their families.

B. To retain students with disabilities, those identified in our school's mission, English Language Learners and Economically disadvantaged students, our school's program is designed to provide corrective action and/or instructional support to all students in

need contingent on data. Through consistent communication and parent investment, our school model involves the entire family in the student's education. Our website will allow families to track their child's progress and communicate with their teachers by blogging for immediate responses. The program will use evidence-based instruction to identify students learning styles. We will provide individualized instruction for students with identified learning styles. Students with disabilities will receive an extensive assessment via our Student Support Service Team. Our school will provide alternatives to traditional suspension, such as community service. Serious infractions will be facilitated through the school's Teen Court process. Our school has extended day programs, such as supervised homework assistance, Saturday School and Summer Enrichment Academy. Through our community partners, we will offer our students exposure to college campus life. Our community partners will support our Five Star Program (Careers, Volunteerism, Mentors, tutors and Post-Secondary Education). Our school's environment will nurture college and career exploration. It is our belief that a small, individualized setting promotes development of skills that youth need to succeed academically and personally, thus we will be able to retain them.

IV. Public Outreach and Community Support

A. Table 2 outlines the public outreach conducted to date to gather community input about our school. The community, which includes various community stakeholders and the Rochester City School District was informed of the proposed school. We held several public forums and events, and more are planned for the coming months. The purpose of the forums and events is to provide an overview of the school and to inform the community of our intent to submit an application to The New York State Education Department to open a new community charter school. The following is a list of several ways used to inform the community. ∗ A brochure containing information on Boys To Men Community Charter School was

distributed at our community events. (See attachment 1) ∗ We distributed a Fact Sheet containing all the pertinent information on our proposed

school. The Fact Sheet informs the community that we are actively soliciting comments on our proposal’s educational program and the programmatic needs of our students. The Fact Sheet provides the community an opportunity to call or e-mail our Board President and our Consultant for additional information. (See attachment 2).

∗ Our website, www.boystomenccs.com , provides the community an opportunity to give feedback and input by way of blogging.

∗ Community Forum Notifications were distributed via e-mail, regular mail, and by posting in various community organizations. (See attachment 3)

∗ Our Community Breakfast and on-going Community Public Forums provided the community a meaningful opportunity for their input to us in person and in written format through the completion of the Survey Forms and Signatures of Support Petitions.

∗ A Call to Action Community Breakfast was held on October 10, 2015 to inform the community of our intention to open a new community charter school. We developed a

Why an all-male charter school?

According to a November 2012 study by the Shott Foundation 91% of African-American males did not graduate with their cohorts. Of the districts that were part of the study, Rochester had the lowest graduation rate.

This data makes evident that male students in the RCSD are disproportionately vulnerable to dropping out of school.

Boys To Men Community Charter School feels that the best way to counteract this trend serve an all male population.

Attachment #4

Rochester is the lowest ranked school district for African American males in the United States.

Mr. Woodrow Hammond


Dear Mr. Hammond,

I apologize that this correspondence is not timely. I am writing in response to your request for a letter of partner

confirmation in support of the Boys to Men Charter School (planned opening in September 2016).

The Monroe County Sheriff's Office is interested in partnering with the school and offers two particular areas for

your consideration:

1) Careers- the Monroe County Sheriff's Office through its training and recruitment office would be able to

provide information and presentations to students about a career in law enforcement. It would include

things to strive for within their education and personal life to make them most suitable for consideration

of pursuing a job in this field.

D.A.R.E. - Drug Awareness & Resistance Education. The Sheriff's Office teaches the DARE program in

many suburban schools. This may be a suitable program to introduce in some form or variation into your

school.

We will look forward to meeting with you to discuss these possibilities.

Why should your son aƩend Boys To Men Community Charter School?

A study by the ShoƩ FoundaƟon (November 2012) found that 91% of African American and 90% of Hispanic males did not graduate with their cohorts. Of the school districts in that study, the Rochester City School District (RCSD) had the lowest graduaƟon rate in the naƟon. This data makes it evident that male students in the City of Rochester are parƟcularly at risk of dropping out of school. Boys To Men Community Charter School feels that the best way to respond to this trend is to serve an all male populaƟon.

Within the school seƫng, BTMCCS programs will address social and environ-mental issues as well as low moƟvaƟon that affect many RCSD students. It is our convicƟon that a small, individualized seƫng will promote the develop-ment of skills that young males need to succeed academically and personally. We will address the effects of economic hardship and peer pressure because these issues undermine the academic success of Rochester's youth, especially underrepresented males.

Boys To Men Community Charter School will serve male students in grades 6 - 12. In our opening year we will serve 186 young men in grades 6, 7, and 8.
