  1. “ Schools don’t believe they are in the workforce readiness business.” C. Michael Ferraro, President - Training Solutions
  2. We also know that the US Workforce is aging – these numbers show that there will be significant turnover in the workforce resulting in a loss of skilled workers – The increase in the youngest cohort is interesting The growth in the younger cohort will not offset the retirement of those in the age groups 55+ which continues to grow larger every year. Over next 10 years, more BB will retire. Oklahoma’s median age (US Census 2006-08 American Community Survey) was 36.1 years of age.
  3. Inadequate literacy and numeracy skills among large segments of our student and adult populations. An ongoing shift in the demographic profile of our population, powered by the highest immigration rates in nearly a century. The continuing evolution of the economy and the nation’s job structure, requiring higher levels of skills from an increasing proportion of workers. Changes in our Economy: 1. Labor Market has changed. 2. Employment growth. 3. Correlation between earnings and educational attainment These changes are caused by Inadequate literacy and numeracy skills among large segments of our student and adult populations. Demographic shifts: An ongoing shift in the demographic profile of our population, powered by the highest immigration rates in nearly a century. U.S. labor force growing slower—none of the growth is predicted from native-born workers 25-54 years of age. Immigrants will account for more than 50% of the growth.Hispanic population will increase by 20% by 2030. 57% 16-64 year olds are foreign-born 50%+ lack a high school diploma 80% report they do not speak English well or none at all. The continuing evolution of the economy and the nation’s job structure, requiring higher levels of skills from an increasing proportion of workers. Over the next 25 years or so, as better-educated individuals leave the workforce they will be replaced by those who, on average, have lower levels of education and skill. Over the same period, 50% of projected job growth will be concentrated in occupations associated with higher education and skill levels. Millions of students and adults will be less able to qualify for higher-paying jobs.
  4. #1: Core problem: fact that the educational system hasn’t evolved. While the world changed, education system and curriculum didn’t; students are taught the same information they were taught decades ago. #2: None of 2008 U.S. presidential candidates are focusing on the issue of educational change. Ken Kay stated at the Sysmposium on the Workforce Readiness of the Future U.S. Labor Pool that 99% of the public believes that getting K-12 right is related to U.S. Competititiveness. #4: Bill Brock, former senator and Secretary of Labor, stated that the teaching profession is not attracting the best and the brightest and the “quality of the education system can’t be greater than the quality of teachers”.
  5. In 40 years we have moved from #1 in the world to 18 th out of 24 industrialized nations. In 11 years (1995) we have dropped ranking from 1 st to 14 th . Today, the United States ranks 18 th out of 24 industrialized nations in high school graduation rate. United States college graduation rank is 14 th in the world. 2 nd highest country with percentage of 55—64 year old citizens with college degrees. 25 – 34 years of age U.

  6. About 66% of prison inmates are high school dropouts and 33% of all juvenile offenders read below the 4 th grade level.
  7. A one-year increase in average years of schooling for dropouts would reduce murder and assault by almost 30%; motor vehicle theft by 20%; arson by 13% and burglary and larceny by about 6%.
  8. By 4 th grade, African-Americans & Latinos are nearly 3 grades behind their white peers. The Nation’s Report Card reports that fewer than 33% of 8 th graders read at a proficient level. Source: Alliance for Excellent Education Fact Sheet, Feb. 2009
  9. The average U. S. Student spends about 900 hours in the classroom and 1,500 hours in front of the TV each year. Source: Center for Screen Time Awareness. 50% of incoming 9 th graders in urban, high-poverty schools read 3 years or more below grade level. 33% of high school graduates are not ready to succeed in an introductory-level college writing course. 4-Year colleges, nearly 8% of all entering students are required to take at least one remedial reading course. Only about 33% of them are likely to graduate within eight years. Source: Alliance for Excellent Education Fact Sheet, Feb. 2009

  12. Poverty rate is more than twice that of families headed by high school graduates. Each drop out costs U.S. $192 billion in lost income and taxes. Adding just one year of schooling for these would recoup nearly half those losses. Taxpayers foot an additional $978 million. Poor preparation cost $2.3 billion annually in lost productivity.

  15. In addition, the average low-skill household was a free rider with respect to government public goods, receiving public goods costing some $6,095 per house­hold for which it paid nothing. Dropout Households Receive More than $3.00 in benefits for every $1.00 paid in taxes. Lost Revenue in taxes for Government Spending: Households headed by dropouts: $9,689 Taxes paid per household Households headed by persons with high school diploma or higher: $34,629 Taxes paid per household Total Annual Net Cost of High School Dropout Households to the Taxpayer: $397 Billion—exclude spending on public goods, interest payments of government debt and related costs. $483 Billion—excluding spending on public goods. Net Lifetime Costs Receiving, on average, at least $22,449 more in benefits than they pay in taxes each year, low-skill households impose substantial long-term costs on the U.S. taxpayer. Assuming an average 50-year adult life span for heads of household, the average life­time costs to the taxpayer will be $1.1 million for each low-skill household, net of any taxes paid. If the costs of interest and other financial obligations are added, the average lifetime cost rises to $1.3 million per household.

  26. Ten years ago, Western Village was facing the possibility of closure.  Enrollment had declined and the test scores were in the teens and twenties!  INTEGRIS Health stepped up to the plate in 1998 and started an after school and summer program.  Soon thereafter, a new staff was hired and the success story continued. In the Fall of 2000, Western Village opened as one of the State’s first elementary public charter schools, Western Village Academy, Inc., the only charter school to serve the children in its attendance area rather than selecting students from a pool of applicants.  Enrollment has increased from 150 to 320 with an annual waiting list. Today, the facilities have been completely renovated, state-of-the art library/media and technology centers have been built, a walking track has been installed, and a master staff of teachers is on board.  The test scores are now in the 70’s and 80’s, and the annual API targets have been reached for three years in a row. Western Village features an arts-integrated curriculum with full time specialists in visual art, music, dance/p.e. and literary arts.  A full time physician’s assistant and counselor are on staff to serve students’ and their families’ needs.  Every child in grades 1-5 has a mentor who comes to visit them once a week for one hour. Students in Grades Pre-K through fifth grade are served by a teacher and paraprofessional.  Each of the morning and afternoon Pre-K classes are limited to 15 students each.  Grades K-5th grade have no more than 22 students in each class, and total school enrollment is held at 320. SUCCESS FOR ALL , a scientifically research-based reading program has proven to be effective and successful.  Starting with 25% of all 1st through 5th grade students reading on-or-above grade level and progressing to almost 70% reading on-or-above grade level has been one of our many achievements. Parent and community involvement has been key to the success of Western Village.  Not only has INTEGRIS’ support been solid and ongoing, but Oklahoma Christian University, a local fire station, and several nearby churches have adopted Western Village and its teachers and children.  Many donations have been made to help the school. 
  27. The benefits far outweigh the time involved. Postsecondary Education OPPORTUNITY reported that Volunteering for Organizations in 2002 is higher percentage as the person’s education attainment increases.
