6. UNFINISHED BUSINESS | |
| |
7. NEW BUSINESS | |
| |
a. Acceleration of Kindergarten Student - L. Schroerlucke | Sheri Hamilton |
In accordance with Senate Bill 35, it is required to have board approval to move a kindergarten student for the purposes of state funding due to kindergarten being half day. Leela Schroerlucke has completed the required assessments and met the criteria for acceleration at the district level accords to BCPS district policy and procedure. Board approval for kindergarten students to accelerate grades is an additional step required by the state. Upon board approval, the district will be allowed to submit the KDE Accelerated Placement Request Form and move forward with accelerating this student. | |
Approve the request to accelerate kindergarten student Leela Scheorelucke to first grade | |
b. 1st Reading, 08.1132 - Hardship Graduation | Rachelle Bramlage-Schomburg |
The Hardship Graduation Policy 08.1132 is updated based on recent discussions between High School Principals and current Board Members to delineate between hardship and early graduation focused on student participation in school events. The updated policy was reviewed by Buckman, Farris & Mills Law Office. | |
Approve the 1st reading of revised Policy 08.1132 as presented | |
c. 1st Reading of Revised Policy 08.113 - Graduation Requirements | Rachelle Bramlage |
The Middle School Credit portion on page four of the policy is revised based on recent discussions with middle school principals. The proposed change is due to the fact there are inconsistencies between the "High School Ready" NWEA norms in Math and Reading as compared to the current policy. Currently, the policy identifies the RIT score of 235 for an eighth-grader to be eligible to take Algebra I during middle school. However, NWEA identifies the RIT score of 243 as the current indicator for High School Ready. The draft does not have a specific number but a minimum score since national norms are updated every two years by NWEA. This will allow the policy to adapt to national assessment norm changes. | |
Approve the 1st Reading of revised Policy 08.113-Graduation Requirements as presented. | |
d. BLMS Request for Two Certified Intervention Teachers | Jennifer Wooley |
Bullitt Lick Middle School Principal Kevin Connors requests permission to hire two Certified Intervention Teachers for seven hours a day, one day a week until K-Prep Testing begins. The Certified Intervention Teachers will provide support in both the 6th grade English and Math departments. These positions will be funded from Bullitt Lick Middle School SBDM funds. In addition, Kevin Connors is requesting the Board to match his request in both days and funding, thus, providing support for two days a week. | |
Amend the request to hire two Certified Intervention Teachers for Bullitt Lick Middle School to be paid out of the General Fund so the school can keep its SBDM funds. | |
e. Special Education Request for Additional Staff - Teacher of the Hearing Impaired | Jennifer Wooley |
Presented is a request to add a district-wide, full-time, Teacher of the Hearing Impaired (HI) for the remainder of the 2018-2019 school year only. Funding is available for the additional position in the IDEA budget. | |
Approve the request to add a district-wide, full-time Teacher of the Hearing Impaired for the remainder of the 2018-2019 school year only | |
