Bernheim Middle School would like to create an individualized, practice room for band students. The request involves modifying two (2) existing doors that serve the band instrument storage room by adding 10" x 38" viewing glass to each door. This will allow students to use the space for independent instruction while providing visible observation for the band instructor. The district's maintenance team has met with Principal Katie Stephens and has determined that the doors are not fire-rated and can be modified. The district maintenance team will install the viewing glass. Funding will come from the school's Fund 22 account at the cost of $359.00.

Principal Troy Wood requests permission to allow the PTSO to purchase and install vinyl window coverings at Eastside Middle School.

Mr. Wood would also like to purchase and install a 3D art display case at Eastside Middle School. The school will install the wall-mounted display case in the foyer, currently where a bulletin board is located.

The cost for the display case will come from Eastside's Fund 22 account.

Requested is approval for the BCPS County-Wide graduation day to be held on Sunday, June 10, 2018. This year the venue will be Freedom Hall at the Kentucky Fair and Exposition Center. Due to the fact that Jefferson County Public Schools and Oldham County Public Schools have reserved their choice dates for their graduation day at the Expo Center, the first available date for BCPS was June 10th. Even though this is on a Sunday, Mrs. Usher feels that it would be better to graduation on this date rather than having to wait until the following weekend. Graduation during the week would be hard for most families to accommodate due to work schedules. Graduation times have been pushed back to try and accommodate as much as possible for Sunday services. The following is the requested order and times based on a rotation schedule:

Bullitt Central High School     1:00 p.m.

Bullitt East High School          4:00 p.m.

North Bullitt High School        7:00 p.m.
