It’s all about creating pathways. As we wrap up Career Technical Education month, we shine a light on just some of the career pathways our students can explore in our high schools. Students can earn college credit in our biomedical sciences or engineering Project Lead the Way courses or through dual enrollment. They can get a close-up look at a career as an entrepreneur through the Centers for Advanced Professional Studies. Or, they can earn while they learn through go.FZSD.us/Apprenticeships where qualified students can apply to work as apprentices in 15 career fields ranging from manufacturing to culinary to education. Reaching the workplace of tomorrow one career pathway at a time. #FZEquipToExcel #PublicSchoolProud

It’s #PublicSchoolProud week! What does it take to build the workforce of tomorrow?
It takes us all.
That’s why we’re making time this week to share some insight into our finances. Did you know 83 percent of the district’s operating budget is committed to our staff? That leaves about $45 million for all other costs, including the rising costs of utilities, fuel, food and property insurance.

Anyone can grab a calculator and solve just about any math problem - but to truly understand the underlying math and how it works takes deliberate conceptual practice. That's what our students are learning, each and every day! Working together builds their collective problem solving skills as they learn from each other. By creating visual representations of math concepts, students begin to understand how numbers and concepts are connected to one another, which builds a deeper understanding as they advance to more complex topics. This deeper understanding is critical for students in upper grades for understanding algebra and geometry. Building the workforce of tomorrow one mathlete at a time! #FZEquipToExcel #PublicSchoolProud

That’s why we’re making time this week to share some insight into our finances. Did you know local revenue is Fort Zumwalt’s most reliable resource? 48.5 percent of the district’s operating budget is provided through property taxes. Another 19.2 percent comes through a combination of local sales tax revenue and sales such as tickets and fundraisers. Local revenue stays right here in Fort Zumwalt and cannot be withheld by other agencies.

After each English Language Arts unit, elementary students in all grades celebrate through creative, hands-on projects. These activities promote critical thinking, creativity, and a deeper understanding of the content. They connect the dots between school subjects. Fourth graders read about tsunamis then studied the transfer of energy by making waves. Fifth graders read about food webs and environments. Using their understanding of ecosystems, habitats, and interdependence, students thoughtfully constructed their own animals and gathered information to share their learning with others. Building the workforce of tomorrow by having them demonstrate their understanding today. #FZEquipToExcel #PublicSchoolProud

That’s why we’re making time this week to share some insight into our finances. Did you know 28 percent of Fort Zumwalt’s operating budget comes from the state? It’s important to note that, while the state allocates funds each year during the budgeting process, the state also has the power to withhold funds should there be a need to cover a shortfall. FZSD must make up for that deficit through offsets in other areas, or, in the worst case, through deficit spending, dipping into reserves to make up the difference.

What does it mean to learn through play? Well, when the game is dress-up, our Early Childhood students are developing motor skills and solving problems. They take turns with the popular toys. They button, zip and snap. They help each other and they grow an understanding that different clothes do different jobs and different jobs require different clothes. It's just one way we’re building the workforce of tomorrow when they're Pre-K. #FZEquipToExcel #PublicSchoolProud

That’s why we’re making time this week to share some insight into our finances. Did you know Fort Zumwalt School District has three primary revenue streams? Federal dollars, such as those received as reimbursements for our Early Childhood Special Education program, are designated for specific expenses and cannot be used for other expenditures. Federal funds make up about 3 percent of the district's projected operating revenue this fiscal year, but can be subject to cuts by the federal government at any time.
