Core Commitments We fulfill our vision through these Commitments: Financial Stability Fulfilling our promise to provide a high-quality education requires that we remain on sound financial footing and serve as good stewards of public and philanthropic funds. We must also advocate with the wider Chicago community for fair school funding from the state so all of Chicago’s children receive the educational resources they need and deserve. Academic Progress A high-quality education develops in young people not only strong academic skills, but a love of learning and the ability to work with others, take initiative, solve problems creatively, live healthy lives, and become active citizens in their communities. We will design instruction and learning environments that provide for individual needs and help prepare all of our students for a successful adulthood. Integrity We respect our students and families, and the diverse communities in which they live, and honor them as partners in our shared mission. We will earn their trust by communicating openly and acting on community feedback.

Core Values

Equality & Equity 5

Targeted Universalism Historical Equity 6

Equity CPS defines equity as championing the individual cultures, identities, talents, abilities, languages, and interests of each student by ensuring they receive the necessary opportunities and resources to meet their unique needs and aspirations. 7

Equity in Design In an equitable educational system, every student has access to the resources, opportunities, and educational rigor they need at the right moment in their education, irrespective of their race, ethnicity, gender identity, sexual orientation, language, learning path, accessibility needs, family background, family income, citizenship, or tribal status. 8

Five-Year Goals

MDMA School Mission and Vision Miles Davis Magnet Academy’ mission is to provide each student with a rigorous academic curriculum that is focused on literacy, math, science, technology, and engineering concepts. Our goal is for our students to apply research-based best practices to stimulate personal growth, creativity, and lifelong learning. Students will be prepared to become constructive members of our global society. Miles Davis Magnet Academy will utilize the engineering design loop to integrate engineering concepts into the core curriculum. 10

What is the SQRP? ● The School Quality Rating Policy (SQRP) is the Board of Education’s policy for evaluating school performance. ● It establishes the indicators of school performance and growth and the benchmarks against which a school’s success will be evaluated on an annual basis. ● Through this policy, each school will receive a School Quality Rating and an Accountability Status. 11

What is the Purpose of the SQR The School Quality Rating and Accountability Status serve the following purposes: ● Communicating to parents and community members about the academic success of individual schools and the district as a whole; ● Recognizing high achieving and high growth schools and identifying best practices; ● Providing a framework for goal-setting for schools; ● Identifying schools in need of targeted or intensive support; and ● Guiding the Board’s decision-making processes around school actions and turnarounds. 12

How Are Ratings Assigned ● Schools earn between 1 – 5 points for each metric. ● Points are weighted according to the tables on slide 6 and added together. The school’s overall score is also between 1 – 5. ● Based on the overall score (or minimum attainment percentile – see below), the school receives a School Quality Rating and Accountability Status. Overall Score Minimum Attainment Percentile School Quality Rating Accountability Status 4. 0 or more 90 th Level 1+ Good Standing 70 th Level 1 Good Standing Between 3. 0 and 3. 4 50 th Level 2+ Good Standing Between 2. 0 and 2. 9 40 th Level 2 Provisional Support Less than 2. 0 -- Level 3 Intensive Support Between 3. 5 and 3. 9 OR 13

What Does the School’s Status Mea Good Standing Levels 1+, 1, and 2+ These schools are meeting or exceeding the minimum performance expectations for CPS schools. While these schools are still bound by federal and state law and CPS policies, they have some autonomy around school improvement planning and budgets. LSCs approve CIWPs in these schools. Provisional Support Level 2 These schools are in need of targeted support to keep them moving in the right direction. The CEO may require the following: • Drafting a new CIWP • Directing the implementation of the CIWP • Providing additional training for the LSC • Mediating disputes or other obstacles to improvement If the CEO determines the problems are not able to be remediated by the above methods, the CEO may place the school in Intensive Support Level 3 These schools are in need of intensive support to quickly improve the quality of education for students. In addition to the types of support provided under “Provisional Support”, the following actions may be taken*: • Replacing the principal • School turnaround • Ordering new LSC elections • Closure *These actions are allowable under Illinois School Code, but will not necessarily happen in all “Intensive Support” schools. A hearing and a Board vote are required for these actions. 14
