| |
1. Multi-Purpose Community Action Agency, Inc. MOU | Pat Smith-Darnell |
The Memorandum of Understanding with the Multi-Purpose Community Action Agency allows the sharing of information on families and individuals that are seeking or receiving services from that agency. This information will facilitate the identification and assessment of needs and allow assistance and services to be provided to families and individuals in an efficient, effective and timely manner. Information will only be released following completion of an Authorization to Release Information form. Eric Farris has reviewed these items. | |
2. Bullitt County Health Department Business Associate Agreement | Lesa Howell |
To facilitate the exchange of services and confidential information with the Bullitt County Health Department, approval to execute the confidentiality agreement is necessary. This confirms both parties' adherence to the privacy requirements of the Federal Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (HIPPA). This contract remains unchanged from the 2017 review by Eric Farris. | |
3. Bullitt County Health Department Contract for Hepatitis B Vaccination | Lesa Howell |
This contract will allow the vaccination series for Hepatitis B to be offered to district employees as in the past. As a continued cost savings measure, payment for the serum and injection will be collected at the time of service rather than being billed separately or upfront, as that was becoming costly and potentially wasteful. There is a savings for $6 per injection with this contract. Funding for the provision is included in the health service budget for the upcoming school year. | |
4. Temporary Nursing Services for Out-of-State Field Trips | Lesa Howell |
Presented is a blanket contract for health services if required by students that are out of state on school sponsored trips and the determination regarding states' delegation requires licensed medical services.

5. Independent Nurse Contractors | Lesa Howell |
Presented are blanket contracts with Independent Nurse Contractors for the 2018-2019 school year in order to meet all requests for health services in a timely manner. These guidelines are set within KRS 156.502 (Health Services in School Setting). The contracts are developed within the scope of practice for an RN and LPN licensure. The cost of service will not exceed the budget allowance as designated in the health service budget for the upcoming school year. | |
6. Solution Tree MOA | Adrienne Usher |

9. Microsoft Software Amendment to Contract | Jim Jackson |
This year Microsoft made several major changes to the licensing model for the state of Kentucky, which in turn changes the district's agreement. The new licensing model resulted in additional licensing cost; however, Microsoft has agreed to allow the district to remain at the existing pricing structure for the next year. This will also fall within the amount budgeted for the coming year. The increased cost will be budgeted for the 2019-2020 school year. This new version called A3 includes additional security features, Minecraft Education, and automatic password reset. This contract will expire in 2020. | |
10. PSST Agreements | Lisa Lewis |
The district utilizes PSST, a software and development firm, to provide various software programs to support integration within various systems such as MUNIS: KEEIS Consortium Partnership ($5,875), AESOP BDIA Subscription ($11,176), and Affordable Care Act (ACA) Subscription ($9,187.50). Permission to renew these agreements is requested. | |

Presented is an agreement to establish a Navy National Defense Cadet Corps Program at Bullitt East High School. The contract has been reviewed by Buckman, Farris & Mills. | |
14. Amendment to Service Agreement with Harshaw Trane for the Water Treatment Programs - District Wide | Mark Mitchell |
This amendment covers the water treatment services related to North Bullitt's College and Career Center that were inadvertently left off of the agreement approved in May 2018. After consulting with Harshaw Trane, this will increase the cost of the programs by $1,285.00, bringing the total cost of these services to $11,644.00. Funding is found in the FY19 budget in 0352 - Other Technical Services. Eric Farris has reviewed the agreement as to form and legality. | |

m. Community Eligibility Provision of the National School Lunch Program to Include Overdale Elementary | Angela Voyles |
The Community Eligibility Provision provides qualifying schools the opportunity to feed breakfast and lunch to every student in the school free of charge, regardless of household income, for up to four years. In SY 13-14, BCPS piloted the Community Eligibility Provision at Shepherdsville Elementary. In SY 17-18, the CEP operated at six schools: Maryville, Brooks, Lebanon Junction, Nichols, Shepherdsville, and Bullitt Lick. All schools continue to have success implementing this option including increased participation and reimbursement revenue, innovative breakfast delivery procedures and reduced paperwork. Direct Certification data indicates that Overdale Elementary has increased in free students to make the program viable for success. Requested is permission for the program to include Overdale Elementary with the understanding that the district can opt out of the program at the beginning of the school year should the district feel it necessary. | |
