TEAMS scores being assessed by
school officials district wide
By Laura Simank
Associate Editor
Ingleside Independent School Dis-
trict recently received a breakdown of
the progress of the students for the
past two years of TEAMS testing and,
as other area school districts are
doing, are now in the process of eva-
luating and learning from the figures
In the accompanying charts the
first column indicates the school
name. The second column indicates
the group that the school or campus
urn ads,
news in early
Thanksgiving Day will necessi-
tate a change in deadline for
advertising and submitting news
items to The Index..
The deadline for classified and
display advertising for the
Thanksgiving edition of The In-
dex will be 12 noon Monday, the
21st
News items should be submit-
ted no later than 10 a.m. Mon-
day, the 21st. _
fell into according to the scores. A
number one indicates that the school
or campus was in the top 25 percent of
the districts or campuses in the state,
group two indicates the middle 50 per-
cent and group three indicates the low
25 percent of the districts or cam-
puses.
The third column provides the
TEAMS adjusted scale scores for
1987-88. This year a minor revision in
the calculation was used that pro-
duces a better aggregate score. This
score is calculated in the following
manner: l)For each campus across
the state, an average scaled score was
calculated for each subject area at
each grade tested. 2)The average
scores for each subject area within a
grade were averaged to produce a
combined scaled score for each grade
tested on each campus. 3)Factors to
adjust for variations in overall test
difficulty from one grade to the next
were calculated for each grade.
4)These factors were then multi-
plied by the average scaled scores for
each grade tested on each campus.
This procedure avoides unfairly pena-
lizing campuses which are only test-
ing at the grades which have the more
difficult tests. 5)The adjusted scaled
scores for each grade on a campus
were then multiplied by the “number
tested" at each grade and averaged
across the total number tested for the
entire campus to produce a sinlge
score for that campus.
The next column on the chart indi-
cates the adjusted scale scores for
1986- 87. The district and campus
scores were recalculated for 1986-87
using the same methodology to calcu-
late the scaled scores for 1987-88. The
fifth column on the chart shows the
gain or loss in the adjusted scaled
score performance from 1986-87 to
1987- 88 and was obtained by sub-
tracting the adjusted scaled score
from 1986-87 from the scores for
1987-88.
Column seven in the chart shows
the percentage of the students passing
all the tests taken in 1987-88 and is
calculated for the campus and district
level by dividing the number of stu-
dents passing all tests taken by the
number of students tested.
These scaled scores do not include
the TEAMS exit level scores from the
tests given to high school juniors and
seniors in October of 1988. Those test
results are not expected to be avail-
able until mid December of this year.

Council recommends ordinance
By taura Simank
Associate Editor
Adopting sex ordinances is becoming
a popular thing to do even with the
ilomeport Steering Council. The
them are considering such an ordi-
nance.
The cities of I ngleside and Taft have
already passed such an ordinance and
Teacher has her own classroom
Aransas Pass Mayor Bob Watson
announced that Aransas Pass is con-
sidering one now, but wanted to be
careful that one was passed that could
be defended in court.
Walter Hill, chairman of the ordi-
nance task force for the Steering
Council presented the ordinance to
the council for approval Thursday
night, Nov. 10 saying that it is only a
model to help the cities have some-
thing to work from.
Council member and President of
the Aransas Pass School Board Frank
Hametner said he would like to see the
surrounding counties pass ordi-
nances similar to the cities on this
subject to protect the area between
the cities not controlled by municipa-
lities.
Council Chairman Carl Duncan re-
minded that there are some limita-
tions on counties as to what kinds of
ordinances they may pass according
to the state legislature.
San Patricio County Commissioner
Cordon Porter commented, “San Pat-
ricio County will likely pass one in the
near future I feel that the individual
entities should make the decision and

Jo Ann Smith, educator, is an after-
school teacher who works with
elementary and high school pupils as
well as with adults who may have been
out of a classroom for many years.
A former high school teacher, Jo
Ann taught physical science, chemis-
try and physios for eight years at Ing-
leside High School after having taught
four years before that in Galveston
and Austin. She decided to leave the
public education system after her son
was bom in July, 1987.
After growing up in Austin where
she attended public schools, Jo Ann
attended Duke University for two
years then finished college at the Uni-
versity of Texas in Austin with a de-
gree in geology as well as in education.
At Texas University she met Craig
Smith, and they were later married.
Craig is a Physicians’ Assistant at
Medioal Arts Clinic. The Smiths have
lived here 10 years, first on Avenue J,
then to their present home on John-
son Avenue. That move took place the
day their son was bom.
Jo Ann said that plans had been
made for the movers to transport their
furniture to their new home, then she
had early labor pains and had to go to
the hospital where Austin was bom
within a few hours. Craig proceded
with the move and Jo Ann and the new
baby went home to a new house.
A dedicated teacher, Jo Ann said
that she never suffered “bum out” or
grew tired of the classroom but
wanted to spend more hours at home
with Austin and feels that she can be of
benefit to a wide range of pupils.
She now teachers her new clas-
sroom at 314 Dallas Street in Ingleside
where she can accomodate up to 9
pupils in a class and has computer
courses for adults in science, Spanish,
word processing, computer literacy
and typing
She also helps pupils in SAT (Scho-
lastic Aptitude Test) preparation for
college entrance and has GED
(Graduate Equivalency Diploma)
classes. One GED class has already
been completed with pupils receiving
their diplomas.
She does private tutoring, tutoring
students with learning disabilities as
well as regular and gifted students,
and has computers for enrichment.
She uses various forms of media in-
struction including a slide projector
and tape recorders.
On November 28 a new GED class
will 8tart and will meet from 5:30 to
6:30 each Monday and Thursday. A
typing class will start on November 30
with classes from 6 to 7 p.m. on
Wednesdays.
In addition to her deep interest in
education, Jo Ann is a skilled wood
worker. While serving on the Com-
munity Appearance Committee In
Ingleside several yean ago she con-
structed, unassisted, all the wooden
benches plaoed along the sidewalks in
town exoept for those on the ooraer of
Fourth and South Main.
A quiet spoken cheerful person, Jo
Ann Smith has a variety of talents in
addition to those in ths field of educa-
tion whieh are exceptionally fine.
