The school has enhanced its effectiveness with continued changes and improvements over the past year and, once again, we are excited to report these developments to you. The year 2006 marks the first year of our new administration with Virginia Warn as principal. Ms. Warn immediately went to work learning how the school has operated and developing her own stamp on the school. This has included a stronger relationship with the Brockton Public Schools (BPS). We are an independent school with our own vision, but we do believe that a good relationship with the local school district is critical for the success of Champion Charter Public School. In fact, the Board of Trustees worked on improving our image with the entire Brockton community. To that end, the Board made a presentation to the Brockton City Council that was warmly received and we intend on making an annual presentation to the City Councilors. We also visited the Brockton School Committee at their monthly meetings on two occasions to keep the School Committee members updated on our progress. At both meetings we were commended by the Mayor and the BPS School Superintendent for our efforts. Our intent is to show the entire community that Champion Charter is a real asset to the city of Brockton. We have taken dramatic steps to address the budget problem that has been plaguing our school since its inception. Negotiating our allocation from the local district has always been a problem and even then disagreements over accounting procedures have left Champion Charter with difficulty in securing its funds. This year began with a budget allocation that we found unacceptable, but with the patient yet determined efforts of the Board of Trustees, we were able to sit down with the senior staff of the Brockton Public Schools and hammer out a new method of determining our allocation based on a per pupil expenditure. We received the funds that we needed and we have now established an equitable method of calculating our allocation so we will know what we will receive well in advance and this will help us in planning for the coming years. We also agreed to cooperate with the BPS regarding accounting procedures and the sharing of information. Most importantly, all of these agreements have been incorporated into our Memorandum of Agreement for FY2007 with the Brockton Public Schools. We have stabilized the funding and budgeting process and I consider this the most important accomplishment of the Board of Trustees this past year. There are other areas of improvement to the school. A graduation requirement at Champion Charter Public Champion Charter Public School 3 School is the successful completion of a college course at Massasoit Community College. We have now developed a set of procedures, with the coordination of Massasoit that, 1) brings Champion students to the college for testing and assessment, 2) brings college professors to Champion Charter to assist in advisement and course selection, and 3) once enrolled, places students in Massasoit's LATCH program which provides counseling and assists in monitoring student progress. Scores of Champion students have been involved in this process this past year and we are seeing a great improvement in their college work. We have forged a relationship with the Brockton Area Private Industry Council (BAPIC) to re-energize our school-to-work initiative. We have secured a grant with BAPIC and in the fall they will provide a full-time school-to-work counselor for the entire school year. We are proud of our other accomplishments as well: Our annual audit was filed on time, we have better relationships with the local district, our students were involved in Brockton's Promise Youth Summit, Michael Sentance visited the school on May 2, 2006, we have started the Strategic Planning process, we have continued work with Diploma Plus competency-based instruction and alignment to the Massachusetts State Frameworks, we have enhanced our math curriculum and textbooks, we have participated in the Art Aspire program with the Fuller Craft Museum and held our graduation at their facility, and we have improved our Special Education Program with a new special education teacher and processes and procedures as outlined in the Special Education Coordinated Program Review Corrective Action Plan. There will be challenges in the coming year. Our facilities situation needs to improve. In 2003 we left an office building in downtown Brockton and moved to a former parochial school building on the east side of the city. We now have well-maintained classrooms with improved computer systems, a library, and access to a gymnasium and cafeteria in the building. The BPS has taken steps to provide our students with a dramatically improved lunch program when we return in the fall. Nonetheless, we are at capacity with 125 students and we still intend to grow the school. We envision a school of 250 students, some of whom are at risk of succeeding in school, and some seeking an alternative to a large urban high school. Accomplishing our goals can only come with partnering with the city of Brockton and the local school district. The Superintendent of Schools has stated many times his intention to see us located in a Brockton Public School building. We now are planning for that move for September, 2007, and we are optimistic for our future. The Board of Trustees will continue to be active participants in the improvement of Champion Charter Public School and we are proud of our efforts to make a better life for our students and our community. Sincerely, Roland Blanchette Chair, Board of Trustees M Champion Charter Public School 4 mission MISSION The mission of the Champion Charter Public School of Brockton is to provide high quality, academically challenging education for out of school youth by creating a dynamic learning laboratory that uses a school to career pedagogy as its framework; an environment that embraces the vision of the Brockton Public Schools and involves a broad range of community based organizations; and an innovative and flexible model to serve an underserved population in our community.

ADVISORY PROGRAM The purpose of the advisory program at Champion Charter School is to foster students' academic, social and emotional growth and encourage empowerment by creating a safe setting, building community and helping to ensure that each student feels connected to at least one adult who acts as a mentor and advocate. The staff has worked this year with Larry Derringer from Educators for Social Responsibility to develop a program and provide a monthly curriculum for Advisors. All staff were trained in this during after- school professional development workshops. WHAT MAKES CHAMPION CHARTER PUBLIC SCHOOL DIFFERENT? We offer a small setting where students can be known by at least one caring adult. We've created an environment where individualized instruction and attention to students' needs is critical to their academic success. The small class size allows for student-centered instruction and one-on-one attention to students needs. This helps students feel secure in their knowledge and progress toward becoming independent learners. Small class size also allows teachers to connect with and personally know each student. Teachers embrace the opportunity to impact the lives of students through academics and personal connections. Students feel cared for. Teachers know students by name. Advisory time affords teachers time to listen to students' life stories and get to know each one in a more personal way. This understanding enables teachers to individualize the support each student receives to help him/her achieve greater academic success. One teacher remarked, that "students are accepted no matter whom they are. In a bigger school it's up to students to find out how to fit in. Here [at Champion] everyone is included and encouraged to feel a part of the community". EDUCATIONAL PHILOSOPHY Champion's educational philosophy is embodied in its mission. Our educational practices are based on the philosophy that all students can become productive citizens. The academic program is a competency-based program designed by the Center for Youth Development and Education of the Commonwealth Corporation, Boston, MA. Diploma Plus. Teachers have been working for the past year to link the Diploma Plus competencies to the Massachusetts State Frameworks. The academic focus is on core competencies in English language arts, mathematics, science and social studies with a range of work-learning and community college coursework. Teachers individualize instruction within core content areas and organize curriculum into high interest projects. ACCOUNTABILITY An Accountability Plan was approved by the Board of Trustees on July 18, 2006. The staff and Board will work together to map out the components of the Accountability Plan. Utilizing a Performance Worksheet format, the staff and members of the Board of Trustees will develop the following for each measure: 1) outcome, 2) strategy, 3) name of person responsible for the outcome Champion Charter Public School 9 INTERNAL ASSESSMENT Diploma Plus Competencies are being linked to the Massachusetts Curriculum Frameworks. Students must achieve proficiencies in the competencies to move to the next level. Student work is measured along a scale from emerging to advanced. Student portfolios are judged by faculty and external reviewers. Students must demonstrate proficiency at each level to move to the next level. The levels are 1) Foundation, 2) Presentation, and 3) Plus. An Instructional Leadership Team under the direction of the Principal will work with staff to develop the following: Link classroom curriculum to the Massachusetts Curriculum Frameworks Opening avenues of communication with Advisors and Classroom teachers to ensure that all students have an advocate and are provided with an avenue to success Create tracking sheets for student success Look at student work and examine the rigor of expectations within the disciplines Collaboratively discuss lesson plans within the disciplines Increase our repertoire of learning-centered instructional strategies. CURRICULUM Our goal is to prepare young adults to become productive citizens, and this year we focused on improving student literacy. We focused our school-wide professional development efforts on literacy and numeracy. We will continue this focus for the upcoming school year. We have three levels: 1) Foundation, 2) Presentation, 3) Plus. We provide an accelerated achievement option for students who enter our program with learning gaps of more than two years. Placement for these levels is determined by diagnostic assessment: GMADE and GRADE tests. We created a Program of Studies this year. We will be working in the next few months to develop the syllabi for courses. DATA The two assessments, the GRADE and GMADE have provided useful information for students, teachers and administrators. These tests are being administered prior to entrance to Champion Charter. In addition, MCAS tests are being evaluated in regard to the alignment of Math Curriculum and the success rate on the test. Recording keeping has been systematized. We now have enrollment, scheduling and test data in StarBase database. This is the first year that this has taken place. Prior to this year, there was no tracking of MCAS data at the school level. SCHOOL CALENDAR Champion Charter Public School is a Horace Mann Charter working in conjunction with the Brockton Public Schools. The school calendar is the same as that of the school district. The number of instructional days is 180 each school year. During SY2005-2006 school was in session from 8:30 to 2:40 -- Monday through Friday. Champion Charter Public School went for one day longer than Brockton High School to make up a missed day. School was closed on one winter day due to a facilities malfunction.

The Communities That Care Youth Survey was administered in the spring 2006. These surveys will give us baseline data on factors that influence student success. Champion Charter Public School 11 GRADUATION For three years in a row, Champion had its biggest graduation class, graduating 8 students. Two were accepted to college, four will apply in the fall, and two opted to work due to family obligations. Our graduation took place at the Fuller CRAFT Museum. It was televised on Cable TV and Superintendent Basan Nembirkow, Superintendent of Schools was our keynote speaker. To graduate, students must demonstrate mastery of specific 12th grade level competencies that are required in their class work and their major projects. In addition, they must successfully complete their community college course work and their internship. Students earn a high school diploma by demonstrating a high level of skill and competency, not by accumulating credits according to traditional "time-in-seat." PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT Professional Development focused on three areas this year: 1) the development of an Advisor Program, 2) Development of Mathematics Curriculum and resources, 3) Linking the Diploma Plus program to the Massachusetts Curriculum Frameworks. Larry Derringer from Educators for Social Responsibility worked with the staff on the Development of an Advisor Program. In addition to offering workshops to all staff, he met with the leadership team of the Program Committee to set up a monthly curriculum for the three levels at Champion Charter: Foundation, Presentation Plus. Michelle Allman worked with staff monthly to develop a mathematics curriculum that linked to the Massachusetts Curriculum Frameworks. We saw changing the Mathematics curriculum at the Foundation Level as a critical need. Students were entering with a scattering of skills as measured on the GMADE, most registering at the third to sixth grade level. Given the need of services for older students it became important to not only improve the curriculum, but to look at the resources that staff had available to teach this curriculum. Criteria were selected for textbook adoption, the proposal was given to the Board of Trustees and math textbooks were ordered. The staff worked with Bayard Klimasmith to look at student work and link the Diploma Plus Competencies to the Massachusetts State Frameworks. This work took place on a monthly basis. The Instructional Leadership Team will be following up with what has been established to this point at a Summer Institute scheduled for August 21-25, 2006. SUMMER INSTITUTE All staff will be attending the first Champion Charter Summer Institute this year August 21-25, 2006. This week will give us the opportunity to work on the Performance Worksheets for the Accountability Plan and will give staff an opportunity to continue to map curriculum and assessment to the Massachusetts State Frameworks. SPECIAL EDUCATION In response to a Coordinated Program Review of Special Education, new staff were hired and the following changes were implemented this year: The special education students' files were kept in the central office for the Brockton Schools and not at Champion Charter. The files were brought to Champion to be kept at the school. The students' files were also updated to be sure all appropriate paperwork was incorporated in the files. This included checking to be sure the IEPs were current and up to date (including being signed by both parent and team facilitator). Communication with parents was improved by calling them before scheduling a meeting to be sure it was a good day and time for them. Visits to the homes were completed to accommodate parents sign papers. This was due to parents having difficulty coming to the school due to work Champion Charter Public School 12 schedules and/or other issues. Communication with the Brockton Public Schools and been improved. This includes once a month special education meeting with a team facilitator. These meeting include discussing areas of concern for the teachers and updates. Parent/teacher meetings are performed with the assistance from the Title I teacher. The agendas consisted of: parent concerns, improvements for next year, fundraisers, meeting times, and volunteering/mentoring. Parents are encouraged to participate in functions for the school and a survey was sent out regarding: meeting times, parent volunteering/mentoring, and academics. Instructional Support Teams were started and have begun meeting on Wednesdays. During this time teachers bring the names of students they are concerned with and the team discusses strategies to assist the student to be productive in the school. During this time, teachers may refer students for testing and the referral proves begins. The referral process may also begin when a parent brings attention to the special education teacher with concerns for their child. The teacher discusses the child with the parent and explains the referral process to them. A consent to evaluate is sent along with the Notice of Procedural Safeguards. Copies of the IEPs were given to the teachers. Each teacher sat with the special education teacher to go over them. The IEPs were explained to the teachers so they would understand each of them. Progress reports are completed every semester. The special education sat with the teachers to review the goals and discuss the progress of the students. Once this is completed, the special education teacher uses Easy IEP to complete the reports. An outside tester was hired through the special education teacher to assist with initial and re- evaluations. The special education teacher works with the tester to schedule test dates and times along with meeting dates, if applicable. Frequent check ins with the students take place to be sure that they are making progress. This is usually done in an informal manner and for a brief period of time. A new special needs teacher and assistant were hired. The former special needs teacher transferred to Brockton High School as a mathematics teacher. TITLE I SCHOOLWIDE PLAN A schoolwide plan was written with staff and parents. The focus is on open communication and the improvement of literacy and numeracy. A curriculum and criteria for the purchase of math materials was developed. The math/science team presented to the Board of Trustees in the Spring 2006. In addition math textbooks were purchased. Prior to this there were no math textbooks. The math program did not offer a broad enough range of courses for students to successfully move on to college. Algebra II was added as was a Title I mathematics teaching position. Two Title I assistants were added to the staff. We feel that we have a solid mathematics program in place to start out the 2006-2007 school year. GRADES AND AGE LEVEL Champion is an un-graded high school that operates on three levels: Foundation, Presentation and Plus levels. These are roughly equivalent to 8th grade, 10th grade, and 12th grade. New students are accepted at every grade level throughout the school year. Students range in age from 14 to 21. Champion Charter Public School 13 RECRUITMENT A wide range of community based organizations that serve young people are actively engaged in our recruitment efforts, including the Brockton High School guidance staff; outreach workers for the local Boys and Girls Club, RISE Youth Center, Department of Social Services (DSS) and YMCA; juvenile probation officers; and Brockton Housing Authority staff. We conduct orientation sessions at Brockton High School and mail informational materials and conduct follow-up telephone calls to all students who have withdrawn from Brockton High within the last year or current students who are not experiencing success; we also reach out to students who have previously attended Champion Charter Public School. We place ads in Brockton's local daily newspaper and on Brockton Community Access cable television "bulletin boards." Finally, word-of-mouth from current and former Champion students brings a substantial number of students to our doors. Completed applications from students include an application form, reference forms, transcripts, a contract of support, a student conduct agreement signed by a sponsor of the student's candidacy for admission, and a brief essay. The key to a student's success is their level of understanding of the program and their enthusiasm to involve themselves with the process of their own education. Once students are enrolled, they engage in an extensive orientation and an initial assessment using mathematics and reading diagnostic tests. PARENT INVOLVEMENT Champion Charter Public School is a partnership between the school leadership, teachers, students and families. Family involvement is not only welcome, but also absolutely necessary for the success of the school. All families are encouraged to participate. Our new Title I Coordinator and Special Needs teacher developed a Schoolwide Plan with faculty and families. The Director of Student Support Services hosted Orientation Sessions for Parents and Sponsors. We have asked each involved parent to come back to the next meeting and bring another parent. In this way, we hope to expand parent involvement. FOOD SERVICE Champion has contracted with Brockton Public Schools to provide breakfast and lunch to all students. The Brockton Public Schools have recently signed a contract with Chartwells. We expect to see and improvement in school lunches next year and family style serving. FACILITY The main school facility in an approximately 20,000 square foot building that houses seven full-sized classrooms, a gymnasium/auditorium, cafeteria, administrative and student support offices. The building is shared with Brockton Seventh Day Adventist School. The Board is in the process of securing a permanent location for Champion Charter Public School. TECHNOLOGY Champion is in the last year of its lease for 40 Hewlett Packer computers. Each classroom houses two to six computers allowing teachers to enhance their instruction by teaching students how to conduct internet research, use word processing and create PowerPoint® presentations. In addition the school has purchased two servers to provide the infrastructure for a data management system. SUSTAINED SILENT READING "STOP, DROP, and READ" is a time when students, teachers and administrators read for 30 minutes. Champion Charter Public School 14 All teachers keep track of students reading minutes and assign points for minutes. Those points can be redeemed for individual or whole class prizes. ACTIVITIES Activities ensure that students remain engaged in productive and healthy lives. During this time, students are provided with a variety of visual and performing arts options. With the support and expertise of local artists, students receive the much needed opportunity to express themselves through art, media and more. Students present their work in school. Their products are available for viewing at the school. Activities offered during the 2005-2006 school year: Video: Abraham Gomez-Delgado worked with students to create a series of short digital video disc vignettes. Mr. Gomez-Delgado assisted students in the development of health promotional video messaging with a particular focus on abstinence, healthy behaviors, and healthy relationships. Art: Samantha Fields taught in the art-aspire program through the Fuller CRAFT Museum. Students presented an exhibit at the Museum in addition to seniors selecting the Museum as the location for graduation. Jeremy Lynch, humanities teacher at Champion Charter attended a teacher institute at the Guggenheim this summer to help the school expand its art options. Ambassadors Club: This is a group of students who serve as mentors for new students. Ambassadors work with Advisors to recruit new members, elect officers and meet regularly to discuss and address school issues. The club organized fundraisers, served as mentors for new students, hosted an end of the year breakfast for seniors and teachers, assisted with Open House and Parent Conference night. Two Ambassadors were selected to participate in a grant funded Peer Mentor program. Smoking Cessation Program: Students suspended for smoking on school property attended an eight week module tobacco reduction and cessation program designed to teach them the health risk in smoking. Other students that smoke were invited to participate. The program offered information, support, and incentives to quit smoking. A variety of teaching techniques used included videos, interactive demonstrations, worksheets and hands-on skill-building activities. This year 18 students participated in the program. Latino Health Center: Champion Charter Public School participated in The STRETCH program (Starting That Real Effort to Change) which provided an HIV and Substance Abuse Prevention program. Two eight week sessions were conducted. Twenty students attended. Students met in small groups with their trained Peer Mentors, HIV Prevention Case Manager and a Clinician. This model was based on social learning theory and used the Tiger Woods' "Start Something" youth development curriculum as its core curriculum. The classes focused on changing sexual behavior and substance use with the goals of increasing participants assertiveness to decline sex, increase assertiveness for negotiating, reducing the number of unprotected sex acts, and reducing substance use. Students and Peer Mentors participated in group exercises to increase their knowledge of HIV transmission, behaviors that increase the risk of HIV transmission, behaviors that reduce or eliminate the risk of HIV transmission. Two Champion Charter School seniors were selected and trained as peer mentors. They assisted as class facilitators which also met the requirements of their senior year internship project. A clinician from LHI also facilitated an eight week anger management group for 8 students. Champion Charter Public School 15 Basketball Team: Eight students competed in the Old Colony Central Division YMCA youth basketball league from November to March. PARTNERSHIPS Champion relies on a community network to fulfill its mission and to help ensure that the school's students are socially, emotionally, and physically healthy. We are pleased to continue our partnerships with local community based organizations. In addition we expanded our partnerships to include BAPIC (Brockton Area Private Industry Council, Inc. Champion also collaborates with local institutions of higher education to provide greater learning opportunities for students. Students in the Plus Phase enroll in one college level course at Massasoit Community College Champion partners with the Center for Youth Development and Education (CYDE) of the Commonwealth Corporation to implement CYDE's Diploma Plus (DP) curriculum. As one of the most successful of CYDE's DP sites, Champion plays an important role in shaping the DP model. In return, Champion benefits from high quality professional development and technical assistance from CYDE. In 2005-06 Champion continued its formal relationship with Brockton Area Multi-Services, Inc. (BAMSI). A clinical social worker provided individual counseling services one day per week during the school year and was on call throughout the week for crisis situations. South Bay Mental Health offered individual counseling sessions 20 hours per week for students and in some instances home- based family counseling. A clinician worked with students individually to provide therapeutic interventions and to assist them to address personal issues. Champion partnered with Health Care of Southeastern Massachusetts (HCSM) to submit a grant subsequently funded by the Massachusetts Department of Public Health to teach an adolescent health and decision-making curriculum, Teen Outreach Program. TOP is a program recognized to positively impact decision-making around teen pregnancy. A HCSM employee has been placed at Champion three days per week to teach the TOP curriculum and provide case management services. The grant will run for another 2½ years. This partnership is providing a facilitator and researcher for Champion Charter's Strategic Planning. Champion maintains informal collaborations with many institutions and agencies that serve or otherwise interact with Brockton youth.

Champion Charter Public School 18 student profile Student quotes describing Champion: "I can relate with the teachers", "Champion is our home away from home. It is definitely for 'us'." "Teachers really care, and they help you. The Champion Charter Public School is a high school designed for out-of-school youth and those at risk of dropping out. Champion supports students to achieve proficiency in academic and work-related subjects and to transition into post-secondary activities. Champion Charter Public School provides integrated learning experiences that continually demonstrate how what is learned in the classroom relates to students' personal growth, their role in the community, the workplace, and their future. We offer a project-based curriculum and competency-based assessment. This means that students do not receive grades in the traditional sense. Instead they demonstrate their knowledge and skills through the work they do and the projects they complete. This is a school for mature students who are committed to working hard to get an education. The Champion Charter curriculum design is based on the Diploma Plus (DP) Program of the Commonwealth Corporation, its focus is on enabling students to progress through three phases— Foundation, Presentation and Plus levels. FOUNDATION LEVEL This cohort of students is mostly, students whose literacy and numeracy functioning is at an eighth grade level or below. The aim of the academic program for Foundation is to assist students in obtaining essential tools that foster their development as solid independent readers, writers, and thinkers while instilling the values and dispositions of Champion Charter Public School. Teachers use the Readers and Writers Workshop program developed at Teachers College/Columbia University in order to accelerate students' acquisition of reading and writing skills. Through an integrated Humanities component, students will be exposed to a number of genres with a focus on novels, short stories, non- fiction and poetry as well as a world history and culture. All Humanities courses will stress the importance of inquiry and introduce students to Champion's habits of mind. In addition, Foundation students are expected to develop essential mathematical inquiry skills that will be used in math courses that focus on everyday math, basic algebra, patterns, forms and figures. This cohort of students have longer time devoted to both literacy and numeracy, study time and laboratory support each week. To support the focus on literacy and numeracy Champion added Monitor Teacher Assistants (MTAs) who pair with teachers to individualize student instruction. Other coursework will include Multi-media Music, Health and Community Action/Job Shadows. Students participate in advisory, a small class that fosters community building, promotes self-esteem and self-efficacy. Advisory period also assist in the development of academic and life skills. Advisory meets three to four times a week. Promotion from Foundation is determined by the following: successful demonstration of skill development through summative scores on the GMADE and GRADE compilation of a cumulative portfolio with the presentation of two products Champion Charter Public School 19 participation in an integrated Exhibition successful completion at Proficient in all subject matter PRESENTATION LEVEL The Presentation Level spans from one to four semesters based upon the student's abilities, skills, content knowledge, and overall performance on authentic and summative assessments. In the Presentation Level students are exposed to Humanities courses that focus on in-depth reading, writing and analytical skills through the review of novels, plays, short stories, essays, historical texts, memoirs and poetry. Presentation students have a particular focus on American democracy (utilizing the Facing History and Ourselves curriculum) and its impact upon society. In the areas of science; scientific method, inquiry, and process have been examined utilizing a hands-on environmental scientific approach. Students at the Presentation level are required to demonstrate skill acquisition through semi- annual portfolio reviews, "roundtable" presentations, and exhibitions of work. A main component of the Presentation Level is a major research project which fosters the development of issue-related thinking. Critical reviews of the issues stimulate students intellectually and develop sound rationale that enhances their perspectives on these issues, which they present in position papers. These projects can become a catalyst for a community action project which students outline and develop. For example for "The Veterans History Project" students recorded the oral histories of local World War II and Vietnam veterans, and submitted the transcripts and tapes to the Library of Congress, in addition to organizing a Photography Exhibit of Brockton Veterans at the War Memorial Building in Brockton. Students receive coaching and support to assist them in integrating projects into their student portfolio. The portfolio includes products that demonstrate mastery of academic skills such as expository writing, public speaking, researching, multimedia and technology skills. Presentation students participate in advisory sessions five times a week. The movement beyond Presentation is determined by the following: successful demonstration of skill development through portfolio products including a research/position paper and math presentation a compilation of at least one cumulative portfolio review at proficient level with at least two panel or roundtable presentations at least one clear career exploration/Job shadow experience passage of all required MCAS tests successful completion at Proficient in all subject matters THE PLUS LEVEL The Plus Level presents students with challenging transitional experiences where students encounter an adult world of responsibility while remaining firmly planted in a supportive secondary school program. Students complete an autobiography project, a research paper project, and a research project associated with their workplace internship. Plus Year students participate in at least 80 hours of paid or unpaid internships and enroll in at least one non-remedial "Dual Enrollment" community college courses. Students earn standard college credit, as well as high school credit, upon successful completion of the courses. For high school credit, students must pass the courses with a "C" or better. In order to graduate, students present and defend a Graduation Portfolio comprising all of the work of the senior year as well as additional research and reflection papers required for the Autobiography Curriculum, the Internship Project and the math portfolio. Transcripts and exceptional work from the college Champion Charter Public School 20 classes are also included. Students present their Graduation Portfolios to the Champion Charter Public School director, the assistant director, and a community member. Plus students are required to bring their Presentation Level Portfolio when they present their Graduation Portfolio in order for the evaluators to gauge the amount of growth the students work exhibits from one level to the next. Graduation is determined by the following: 1 Completion of a Research paper 2 Participate in an internship 3 Pass Massasoit classes 4 Research of a school to career related industry 5 Autobiography project 6 Math portfolio 7 Pass the ELA and math MCAS For a more detailed outline of the Diploma Plus curriculum as implemented at Champion, please refer to the 1999-2000 annual report (copies are available at the school or on-line at http://www.doe.mass.edu/charter/reports/2004/annual/). ENROLLMENT There were 124 students living in Brockton, enrolled on October 1, 2005. The school capacity was recently increased to 175. We have held three lotteries. A total of 124 applications were received. 95 applicants were enrolled. Lotteries 2005-2006 September 25, 2005 34 students December 5, 2005 36 students July 10, 2006 27 students Established in mid-1998, Champion Charter Public School is a high school for students' ages 14-21 who currently attend or previously attended a Brockton public school, are currently residing in Brockton, and are eligible to attend Brockton High School. It employs a rigorous competency-based "Diploma Plus" approach to earning a high school diploma. Students demonstrate specific skills through projects, exhibitions, portfolios, and presentations. During the 2003-2004 SY Champion proposed the development of multi-year pathways. This led to the re-conceptualization and creation of the Foundation and Presentation levels. These two component of the program concentrate on improving reading comprehension, mathematical reasoning, writing, and critical thinking skills. Students in the Plus level take two non-remedial courses at Massasoit Community College, complete an internship, participate in a Senior Seminar, and complete a graduation portfolio of exemplary work. RECRUITMENT EFFORTS AND ENROLLMENT PROCESS A wide range of community based organizations that serve young people are actively engaged in our recruitment efforts, including the Brockton High School guidance staff; outreach workers for the local Boys and Girls Club, RISE Youth Center, Department of Social Services (DSS) and YMCA; juvenile probation officers; and Brockton Housing Authority staff. We conduct orientation sessions at Brockton High School and mail informational materials and conduct follow-up telephone calls to all students who have withdrawn from Brockton High within the last year or current students who are not experiencing success. We place ads in Brockton's local daily newspaper and on Brockton Community Access cable television "bulletin boards." Finally, word-of-mouth from current and former Champion Champion Charter Public School 21 students brings a substantial number of students to our doors. Completed applications from students include an application form, reference forms, transcripts, current I.E.P. where applicable, a contract of support, a student conduct agreement signed by a sponsor of the student's candidacy for admission, and a brief essay. The key to a student's success is their level of understanding of the program and their enthusiasm to involve themselves with the process of their own education. Once students are enrolled, they engage in an orientation and an initial assessment using mathematics and reading diagnostic tests. SUSPENSIONS AND EXPULSIONS Champion's student handbook reads as following: Champion Charter Public School is created to encourage, support, and promote a safe atmosphere for learning. The key area is respect, for self, staff, school and others. We are a school for at-risk youth. There were 196 student suspensions during the course of the 2004-05 school year. Reasons for suspensions include leaving school grounds, use of tobacco and unacceptable behavior that violates the student code of conduct. There were two expulsions for the following reasons: 1) possession of a seven inch knife, 2) possession of an illegal substance. We have a zero tolerance policy for violence and illegal substances at Champion Charter.

NFL Draft Prospect Ishmael Banks, CB, West Virginia
in Football
Redshirt senior cornerback Ishmael Banks is preparing to make his way to the NFL after wrapping up his college career. Playing against Kevin White alone in practice should help be a good indicator have his skill set for the game.
Banks is a solid prospect with good hips and is not afraid to lower his shoulder and be a factor in the run game. A slight hamstring pull limited him during his Pro Day which is always a negative for the player, but does not mean he won't be ready when the NFL comes calling.
Join host Bo Marchionte and special guest Ishmeal "Icky" Banks on the College2Pro.com Players' Platform Show.

Mountain West quarterback race
in Sports
The quarterback situation for the Mountain West schools is up in the air for nearly every school. So far during spring practices and only a few of the jobs have been settled with the most being decided in fall camp. Jeremy and Chris are back to discuss these quarterback battles and other spring musings.
Is it quite possible that New Mexico has the best quarterback situation, at least with returning talent and experience. Utah State has an argument for that as well but that only matters if Chuckie Keeton can stay healthy and that is not likely going off of his history. Maybe it is Air Force who has Nate Romine under center and while he didn't start last year, he did see time in nine games in 2013.
As of now Boise State, San Diego State, San Jose State, UNLV (but they are close), Hawaii, Wyoming, Colorado State and Fresno State have not officially announced who their starting quarterback will be.
Quarterback play will be a key issue in deciding the Mountain West next year, which is an obvious statement but this year it is important due to the amount of turnover.

Sasquatch Watch Radio Presents "Recent Virginia Sightings"
in Science
Join us Tuesday night May 19, 2015 at 9pm eastern as we present, "Recent Virginia Sightings". In the last few years some interesting sighting reports have come in from Virginia. One thing that makes these particular sightings interesting is the location, timing and area of these sightings. Do these creatures use the nighttime to their advantage to move from one area to another? Or are folks simply misidentifying known wildlife? There are three recent sightings in particular that we will discuss. Key features of these three sightings are the nearby corridors available to move from one area to another. Pipeline easements, power line easements, etc. Is there something to this? Join us for this discussion and please feel free to call in with your opinions and ideas. The show call in number is 347-237-5070.

'50s anti-comic crusade fudged his data
CHAMPAIGN, Ill. — Behavioral problems among teenagers and preteens can be blamed on the violence, sex and gore portrayed in the media marketed to them – that was the topic of televised public hearings held by the U.S. Senate Subcommittee on Juvenile Delinquency in 1954 to address the scourge of comic books. The hearings, which resulted in the decimation of what was an enormous comic book industry, had been inspired in large part by the book "Seduction of the Innocent," by psychiatrist Fredric Wertham, based on his own case studies.

Nova Bus and the Philadelphia chapter of the Conference of Minority Transportation Officials (COMTO) partnered to award two $2,500 scholarships to deserving students.
COMTO is a nationwide organization dedicated to ensuring maximum participation of minority individuals, businesses and communities in all aspects of the transportation industry. Among its initiatives, it offers scholarships to students pursuing careers in transportation.
This year's scholarships will go to Walter Scott-Williams, a Morehouse College junior majoring in mechanical engineering, and Summer Tatum, who has overcome tremendous personal adversity in pursuing her higher education and will transfer to Drexel University in the fall to study computer graphics.
Both scholarship winners were selected because they combine high academic performance with significant community involvement.
Company President Dr. Jean DellAmore saluted the efforts of the entire Stertil-Koni distributor network at its recent annual meeting and welcomed twelve companies into the company's highly acclaimed "Million Dollar Club."
Other cash-strapped California transit agencies, facing rising operating costs, are watching the potentially lucrative test run with interest, as current state law restricts digital signage on buses to route and service information.
The Hybrid and Zero-Emission Truck and Bus Voucher Incentive Project was created by the California Air Resources Board to speed the early market introduction of clean, low-carbon hybrid and electric vehicles and is administered and implemented through a partnership with CALSTART.
The company was recognized for exceeding delivery expectations for the fourth year in a row.
The startup was recently granted what's known as the "authority to operate" — a precursor to an official license. But by driving its route between the Marina district and the Financial District without a license, regulators determined that Leap was breaking the law, according to SFGate.

A Gaylord man is back in jail after his bail was revoked for violating the conditions of his release. 35-year-old Mitchell Kranz had been pulled over for speeding on Highway 111 and the state trooper allegedly found methamphetamine and pills in his vehicle, as well as drug paraphernalia, and Kranz was arrested. Kranz was out on conditional bail of $5,000 when he was pulled over recently for driving without a license and tested positive for smoking meth and was taken back into custody. The judge in the case will reportedly allow Kranz out of jail for inpatient treatment when a bed becomes available.
