2. Permission to Award SFS Equipment Bid (2018-2019#8)Angela Voyles

Since the May 2018 Board meeting where it approved the School Food Service's request to solicit bids for food service equipment awarded by the Kentucky Department of Education's FY 18 Equipment Assistance Awards, a bid opening was held at 1:00 p.m. on August 2, 2018. Only one bid submission was complete; therefore, SFS requests acceptance of the bid by C&T Design and Equipment Company. The KDE grant award of $22,000 (per item, totaling $44,000) covers the entire cost of the equipment to be purchased. 

3. Permission to Solicit RFP for Design Professional Mark Mitchell

The Department of Facilities requests permission to solicit Request for Proposals for design professional services relating to the Kentucky Facilities Inventory Classification System (KFICS) and the District Facility Plan (DFP). As per KDE, each school district is required to review and develop a DFP through the services of a design professional every four years. In 2015, the district requested permission to waive the DFP process and extend the current DFP an additional four years. During that time, the district voted to reconvene the Local Planning Committee (LPC) to amend the current DFP to renovate Mt. Washington Elementary and Maryville Elementary. The district's DFP is due to KDE in April 2019. Please see the documentation for additional details.

Funding is located in the General Fund under Unassigned Funds and will be designated to cover the cost of each project. Upon approval, a BG-1 will be generated for the project and submitted to KDE as per their requirements. Additionally, the district will enter into an agreement for architectural services with Studio Kremer Architects to design and oversee the projects.

1. MC Consultants - Contract for Drug Testing ServicesSarah Smith

MC Consultants has collaborated with districts around the state providing drug prevention and drug testing to students and has worked with BCPS for numerous years. Drug use and abuse is a barrier to learning and to success in life. The drug testing program will continue to focus on prevention, not punishment, so that students can focus on being healthy and productive. Eric Farris has reviewed this agreement. 

2. KIP Survey MOUSarah Smith

Presented is a letter from the Cabinet for Health and Family Services regarding the Kentucky Incentives to Prevention (KIP) Survey. This survey is part of the Kentucky Governor's Youth Substance Abuse Prevention Initiative and is administered every two years free of charge. Responses to the survey provide information to school districts about students' use of tobacco, alcohol, and drugs. This information is used to improve programs for Kentucky's youth and is also used in presentations, grant applications, and improvement plans. The survey will be administered to all 6th, 8th, 10th, and 12th grade students. A copy of the survey is also provided.

3. SPD K9 Drug Prevention Services MOASarah Smith

This Memorandum of Agreement with the Shepherdsville Police Department provides drug prevention and drug dog services to students. The drug dog program was originally established and provided by local funding from Bullitt County Fiscal Court. Increased state funding for safe schools allows sustainable drug prevention efforts. The drug prevention program will continue to focus on prevention, not punishment, so that students can be healthy and productive. Joe Mills with Buckman, Farris, & Mills has reviewed the agreement.

4. KSBA Resolution - LG&E/KU Rate Case InterventionKimberly Joseph

Approval of this Resolution authorizes the Kentucky School Boards Association (KSBA) to represent BCPS in the upcoming Public Service Commission (PSC) rate hearing. Louisville Gas & Electric (LG&E) and Kentucky Utilities (KU) have announced their intention to file a rate increase on electric and gas rates. This will impact ten school buildings for electricity rates and 18 buildings for natural gas rates. Previously, the Council for Better Education (CBE) provided $25,000 towards the funding for districts to have a legal voice at the PSC proceedings. At this time, KSBA does not know if the CBE will be able to assist with funding the intervention. The amount to cover the legal and witness costs in the upcoming rate case is $45,000. If half of the 84 affected districts participate, BCPS will be committed to a maximum of $1,350. If all 84 school districts participate, BCPS will be asked to commit to $900.

5. Radio Communications Service AgreementJoe Shepherd

Radio Communications Service sent an updated service agreement for the bus radios that went from $7,342.20 per year to $11,490.00 per year. Since this was a steep increase without warning, Eddie Clan and Joe Shepherd spoke with RCS and worked out a multi-year agreement as follows: year one - $8,382.00, year two - $10,193.64, and year three - $11,586.34. Transportation can evaluate after year three to see if the department's needs are met and negotiate another deal or find another provider. 

6. OVEC Occupational Therapy ServicesTroy Kolb

The Department of Special Education requests permission to contract with the Ohio Valley Educational Cooperative (OVEC) for the purpose of utilizing their agreement with a third party agency to assist with providing Occupational Therapy services for students with IEPs. Due to the large number of students on each Occupational Therapists' caseloads currently and the increasing number of referrals from First Steps, utilizing this contract will help meet the service provision requirements in students' IEPs. This request is pending submission of the agreement by OVEC to the Special Education Department and review and approval by Board Counsel.

7. Electronic Payment Processing by My School BucksLisa Lewis

Due to the growing number of electronic payment processing and acceptance, the district will begin accepting debit and credit cards as a form of payment. The implementation of this project will begin at the central office and be extended to the schools. Currently, the district uses My School Bucks at the food service level. This program will run as an additional function of My School Bucks so other school payments may be received. The district's policy was updated to include language concerning electronic payments. Also, the agreement with My School Bucks will be reviewed by the district's attorney.

g. Superintendent Evaluation Process 2018-2019Jesse Bacon

Superintendent Jesse Bacon proposes the following process for the Superintendent Evaluation:

  1. The Superintendent will complete the Superintendent Leadership Plan document as a self-assessment on the indicators contained in all seven of the Next Generation Effectiveness Standards for Kentucky School Superintendents.

  2. From the results of the self-assessment, the Superintendent will develop a professional growth plan and submit it along with the completed self-assessment to the Board for approval at the September meeting.

  3. Throughout the course of the year, the Board will hold two progress review meetings (November and March) in executive session with the Superintendent to give formative performance feedback on each of the seven standards and the Superintendent’s progress toward the approved professional growth plan.

  4. Before June, the Superintendent will distribute a Preliminary Summative Evaluation document (see attached) to each board member to complete individually (paper or electronic) giving an overall rating (Exemplary, Accomplished, Developing, or Growth Required) on each standard. Each board member will submit their reports to the Chair (or a designee) for compilation purposes. The individual responses will be used for discussion, not for the actual summative report.

  5. The Summative Report will be completed in executive session at the June meeting and be made final through approval in open session.

Approve the proposed process for the Superintendent Evaluation as presented.
h. Counselor Position at NES / Staffing Plan AmendmentJennifer Wooley

Human Resources Director Jennifer Wooley requests amendment of the Staffing Plan to provide a full-time counselor position at Nichols. With new course codes being required in Infinite Campus, it has come to our attention that the Nichols related arts teacher is not certified to teach PE. With no other certified staff in the building able to take on this caseload, Nichols needs to hire a half-time PE teacher. Currently, the school is utilizing a half-time related arts position to create a full-time counselor. That half-time position may be utilized to hire a PE teacher.

 

As mentioned at the July Board meeting, a full-time counselor position did not appear to be needed at Nichols since they were using the related arts position to provide a full-time counselor. Now that the district is aware of the certification issue and must resolve it, an additional half-time counselor position is requested.

 

Amend the Staffing Plan for each elementary school to have one 195-day counselor position for 850 students. Over 850 students, an additional half-time counselor would be allocated per the staffing plan. Funding is provided by the General Fund.

i. Emergency Board Order - Sewer Connection at Bernheim MiddleMark Mitchell

The Department of Facilities requests the Board to declare the sewer connection for Bernheim Middle School an emergency in accordance with 702 KAR 4:160 (1)&(2)(a) & (b) utilizing model procurement standards adopted by the Board under KRS 45A.380.

 

Through consultation with the district leadership team, the Bullitt County Health Department and KDE, the replacement of the wetlands system fits the guidelines for emergency status. The wetland system’s lateral, drainage field has failed and is not repairable. While a permanent solution is in the process of being determined, all wastewater is being contained in the holding tanks and pumped on a weekly basis.

 

In the upcoming days, a meeting will be held with local officials and engineers to determine a viable solution. Once a solution is determined, a cost estimate will be given and an emergency BG-1 will be generated for Board approval and submission to KDE as required. Capital Outlay funds will be utilized to cover the cost of the project.

Approve the request to declare the sewer connection for Bernheim Middle School an emergency.
