PTLW’s curriculum is aligned to Common Core State Standards for mathematics and English language arts, Next Generation Science Standards, as well as other national and state standards. 

PLTW offers a different way of learning for students and teaching through activity-, project-, and problem-based curriculum. It gives students the opportunity to apply what they know, identify problems, find unique solutions, and lead their own learning.

PLTW provides teachers with the tools necessary to empower and actively engage students in the classroom and to transform the classroom into a collaboration space.

V.Q.3. Acceptance of Grant from Cabinet for Health and Family Services for District Family Resource and Youth Services Centers
Rationale

The Kentucky Education Reform Act provides for the establishment of Family Resource and Youth Services Centers (FRYSC) in those schools where at least 20 percent of the student body is eligible to receive free school meals. FRYSCs are intended to promote and coordinate the flow of community resources and support families and youths in ways that strengthen their functioning and that enhance the growth and development of the individual members of the family unit.

JCPS operates 96 FRYSCs that provide support to 131 schools. During the 2012-13 school year, FRYSCs provided 957,055 needed interventions and supports to students and their families in efforts to help our most at-risk students overcome non-academic obstacles as they strive to achieve academically at high levels. Each center has a unique blend of programs, referrals and partnerships, all of which depend on location, available services, local need, and community input.

FRYSCs have established a record of success based on improved student performance in class work, homework, and peer relations as reported by teachers. Parents also report that they experience greater satisfaction and involvement with schools as a result of assistance through their local FRYSC. 

This is a one-year allocation that begins on July 1, 2014. Due to a funding shortfall of this grant, the General Fund provides over $1 million dollars in additional support to the FRYSCs.

V.T. Approval of Shortened School Day for One Exceptional Child Education Student
Rationale

The Kentucky Administrative Regulations, as outlined in the Exceptional Child Education Policies and Procedures Manual, requires that a shortened school day and/or week be submitted to the Board of Education for approval.

This Board action is subject to confidentiality requirements according to policies and procedures in Chapter 9 Confidentiality of Information. Following approval by the Board of Education, the request will be submitted to the Kentucky Department of Education, Division of Learning Services.

The District must maintain the following documentation for all shortened school days and/or weeks approved by the Local Board of Education:

  • approval by the Local Board of Education (student confidentiality procedures must be followed when listing student information in the local Board minutes);
  • minutes of the Admission and Release Committee (ARC) meeting documenting the ARC decision that a shortened school day and/or week is needed;
  • a copy of the student’s Individual Education Plan documenting the shortened school day and/or week; and
  • a copy of the physician's statement of the medical need.

Per regulations, the student is being identified as SSD149 rather than by name. Student SSD149 has a medical condition, with proper physician documentation, which requires a 3-hour and 20-minute school day, 5 days a week.

Even though the FY2013-14 school year has ended, appropriate ECE procedures and documentation are still required for this student, who is being served in a separate class in a middle school.

This project will directly support an integral strategy in our delivery planning called the Third-Grade Pledge to Proficiency in an effort to ensure all students are reading on grade level at the end of third grade.

The district's participation in this project will be instrumental to build teacher capacity in literacy education in some of our lowest performing elementary schools.

V.U.2. Approval of Memorandum of Agreement with Heuser Hearing and Language Academy
Rationale

For the past several years, JCPS teachers have been located in several non-JCPS agencies/schools and locations that offer highly specialized programs to specific populations of students. Through these facilities, students receive an appropriate education that meets their educational needs.

Through a Memorandum of Agreement, which is revised annually, the District and Heuser Hearing and Language (Heuser) have mutually agreed to provide services that will enable students to receive an appropriate public education based on their individual level and unique  needs. In 2014-15, Heuser Hearing and Language Academy, in conjunction with JCPS, will also offer one regular Early Childhood Education class for three- and four- year-old students.

Preference for these spaces will be given to siblings of children enrolled in the specialized educational programs at the Heuser location. Students' programs are monitored to ensure that all due process procedures are followed.

V.U.3. Approval of Memorandum of Understanding for National Magnet School Standards of Excellence Magnet Schools Certification Pilot Program
Rationale

Magnet Schools of America has invited JCPS to participate in a magnet school certification pilot program. The pilot program is designed to help magnet schools/programs strengthen their systems so they become more magnetic and viable. The district will identify three or four schools, based on the Magnet Review Recommendation, with varying degrees of magnet theme implementation to participate.

By participating in this pilot program, schools will receive technical assistance to develop an action plan with SMART goals in order to achieve magnet school certification. There is no cost to the district unless we determine additional assistance is needed.

Each school completing the certification pilot will be notified of certification status by March 15, 2015, and will receive a written report from Magnet Schools of America.

V.U.6. Approval of Memorandum of Understanding with Kentucky Department of Education for LEAD-Kentucky Participant
Rationale

The Kentucky Department of Education (KDE) has been working with the National Institute for School Leadership (NISL) to establish LEAD-Kentucky, a research-based professional development program to train and support highly effective educational leaders across all parts of the state to advance the pace of reform in Kentucky. 

In order to have an immediate impact on schools, KDE began the program to train an initial cadre of Kentucky education leaders who would train future participants identified as aspiring leaders and/or those newly appointed to lead a school. JCPS has a cadre of administrators and principals participating in the NISL training. The LEAD-Kentucky program will enable the Director of Exceptional Child Education to access the same training as district administrators. 

Exceptional Child Education (ECE) students represent the lowest performing gap group in student achievement, dropout rate, and college and career readiness. Given disability incidence, ECE students outpace non-disabled peers in Student Response Team calls, office discipline referrals, and out of school suspensions. ECE students require more district resources than any other gap group.  

LEAD-Kentucky is an intensive executive development program designed to dramatically improve student achievement by building leadership capacity. The intent is to build leadership capacity through distributed leadership, increasing recruitment, and retaining effective leaders. The LEAD-Kentucky participant commits to attend all LEAD-Kentucky sessions equaling 26 face-to-face sessions in a twelve-month period.  

The attached memorandum of understanding outlines the roles and responsibilities of KDE, LEAD-Kentucky participants, and their sponsoring school districts. As long as all responsibilities are met by the participant and sponsoring district, KDE agrees to pay for the entry fee of $5,250 per person.

V.U.7. Approval of Memorandum of Understanding with Kentucky Foster Grandparents Program
Rationale

The signing of a districtwide Memorandum of Understanding authorizes local schools to accept the program on a voluntary basis and assign tutoring space and other materials and supplies necessary to implement the program.

Through the Memorandum of Understanding, which is signed annually, the responsibilities of both JCPS and the Kentucky Foster Grandparents Program will be clearly delineated and uniform throughout the district.

V.U.8. Approval of Memorandum of Agreement with Seven Counties Services, Inc.
Rationale

The attached memorandum of agreement with Seven Counties Services, Inc. details a comprehensive treatment program for the seriously emotionally disturbed students at Waller-Williams Environmental School.

A partnership among education, mental health, and social services agencies offers families and youth an opportunity for effective solutions to the complex problems faced by Waller-Williams students. Intervention with students is likely to elicit better parent involvement, more effective resolution of emotional-behavioral problems through educative-therapeutic collaboration, and to facilitate the student's return to his/her home school more quickly.

This program proposes to increase student success at Waller-Williams through collaboration between teacher and therapist in the classroom; provide therapeutic services to the students and their families; and foster a classroom and school climate that is consistently positive, nurturing, and structured for effective behavior management.

Seven Counties Services, Inc. will provide therapists and service coordinators and JCPS will provide resources to house these Seven Counties staff members in the Waller-Williams facility.

An evaluation of this collaborative effort will be completed with a collection of data on emotional/behavioral change, parent participation, family/service provider satisfaction, and program transitions and changes.
