2011-<strong>2012</strong> <strong>District</strong> <strong>Service</strong> <strong>Report</strong> • October <strong>2012</strong> 2<br />
focusing on RESULTS<br />
October <strong>2012</strong><br />
Dear Reader:<br />
This year, <strong>Oakland</strong> <strong>Schools</strong> marks 50 years of leadership, innovation and results for students, schools and the<br />
community. The <strong>Oakland</strong> <strong>Schools</strong> Board of Education and I invite you to review the 2011-<strong>2012</strong> <strong>District</strong> <strong>Service</strong><br />
<strong>Report</strong> to get a sense of what we do each year. We continue to use a variety of methods to capture data that<br />
accurately reflects the services we provided to <strong>Oakland</strong> County schools over the past year. Wherever possible, we<br />
also include trend data.<br />
The <strong>District</strong> <strong>Service</strong> <strong>Report</strong> for 2011-<strong>2012</strong> reflects our ongoing commitment to increase student achievement, serve<br />
the diverse needs of <strong>Oakland</strong> County schools, and decrease costs while increasing efficiencies. <strong>Oakland</strong> <strong>Schools</strong><br />
uses the information presented in this report to inform our work; to look at which services are used, by whom, and<br />
how frequently, so that we can continue to adapt our service delivery and staffing to best meet priority, emerging<br />
and continuing district needs. In fact, during our first organization-wide quality assurance review with AdvancED,<br />
<strong>Oakland</strong> <strong>Schools</strong> was commended for using data to prioritize services and programs.<br />
It is our hope that the <strong>District</strong> <strong>Service</strong> <strong>Report</strong> is also used by <strong>Oakland</strong> County school districts to review how they<br />
are using our services, resources and products that are designed to contribute to improved student achievement and<br />
provide time or cost savings to their districts. We must continue to find ways to work together in ever more efficient<br />
and cost-effective ways. We believe that this publication illustrates how districts are making greater use of the<br />
Intermediate School <strong>District</strong> while optimizing their efficiency.<br />
As always, I encourage and welcome your feedback on this document. How are we doing and how can we improve<br />
this publication? Please email Communication <strong>Service</strong>s at communications@oakland.k12.mi.us with your<br />
comments and suggestions. Thank you.<br />
Sincerely,<br />
Dr. Vickie L. Markavitch<br />
Superintendent<br />
