Presented is a Change Order for ESC Southeast, LLC, in the amount of $16,600, to cover the additional special inspection for the storm shelter for the new Old Mill Elementary School Project. During the design phase of the project and approval from the state, it was documented that a special structural inspector would be needed for the project. It wasn't until after the project was bid out that we wee told by the state that ECS would need to have another engineer to inspect the storm shelter part of the project. This expense will come out of contingency funds, changing the amount from $1,347,575.14 to $1,330,975.14.

Presented for approval is the BG-1 to initiate the district-wide Bipolar Ionization Project that was approved at the April monthly Board meeting. 

Employment records for both the certified and classified personnel for the period of April 2021 through May 2021 are submitted for the Board’s information and inclusion in the minutes of this meeting.

Presented is a Memorandum of Understanding for the Bellarmine Literacy Project for the 2021-2022 school year at the cost of $27,000 funded through Title II funds. Please see the additional information provided for details. All contracts have been reviewed by Buckman, Farris & Mills.

Bullitt County Fiscal Court plans to conduct the 2021 Clean-Up Days on June 12 and June 26, 2021. Requested is permission to use the parking lots on Saturday, June 12, 2021, at Mt. Washington Middle and North Bullitt High School. On Saturday, June 26, 2021, they would like to use the parking lots at Lebanon Junction Elementary, Nichols Elementary and the parking lot at the former Shepherdsville High School. County government employees will properly clean the parking lots and it is asked that all fees be waived for this county-wide event. The Application and Agreement Form and Liability Insurance Certificate are provided.

Lebanon Junction Elementary School would like to alter a wall by allowing the school's art teacher to paint a mural in the vicinity of the front office area. The area where the wall is located is often used as a behavior de-escalation location for Special Education students. By painting the wall, the area for students will be more esthetically comforting and assist in curbing inappropriate behavior. The mural will not alter the structure of the room and funding for the project will be less than $200 and at no additional expense to the district. 

Presented is a list of Summer Camps for 2021 that requires approval by the Board.

The district has been a member of the Kentucky Chamber since May 2014. As a member, the district receives member discounts especially with Kentucky Employer's Mutual Insurance (KEMI). KEMI is the direct provider for Workers Compensation Insurance. The credit amount as a Chamber member is 10%. This is a significant savings on the premium amount. The membership amount is $2,000 and offsets the savings discount.

Reqµested is a waiver for our current high school students for the 2020-2021 school year only, to specifically address portions within our Graduation Policy 08.113 and Grading Policy 08.221 due to the COVID-19 pandemic. 

Graduation Policy 08.113

Our current Graduation Policy 08.221, specifically the Additional Locally Established Graduation Requirements, contains requirements that our Bullitt County Public School seniors must have in order to meet our minimum graduation requirements. These additional requirements include: 

• Requiring seniors to be transition ready, academic or career ready

• Completion of a senior project, which includes documented community service, work-based learning, or extra-curricular activity

Our current Graduation Policy 08.221, specifically the Commencement Ceremony, contains requirements that our Bullitt County Public School seniors must have no more than ten (10) cumulative unexcused absences during their final year of high school.

Requiring seniors to be transition ready. academic or career ready 
All four high schools have not reached their maximum potential to get all high school students transition ready. As a district, we currently have 75% students transition ready. At the end of the 2019-2020 school year, 71% of students were transition ready. Below is a table that shows a breakdown of transition data, percentage of seniors who are transition ready, between a normal year and the 2019-2020 school year and 2020-2021 school year, both during the COVID-19 pandemic.

On February 22, 2021, the United States Department of Education (USED) invited states to request a waiver for the 2020-2021 school year in the areas of accountability and school identification requirements. On April 22, 2021, the Kentucky Department of Education (KDE) announced USED granted Kentucky a waiver of accountability, specifically for school identification and reporting requirements in the Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESEA) for the 2020-2021 school year. However, our current policy requires students to be transition ready when exiting high school. Schools are continuing to offer opportunities for students to earn their career readiness through End of Program assessments and/or Industry Certifications through the week of May 24, 2021. This is being monitored by both the College and Career Coaches at each high school and Dr. Lee Barger.

If approved, this would also prevent seniors who have not met transition readiness from completing an alternate petition which included approximately three hours of work time to prepare and present to an alternate petition committee. 

Completion of a senior project, which includes documented communitv service. work-based learning, or extra-curricular activity 
The purpose of a senior project was for seniors to showcase their own learning, begin creating a roadmap for their future, and embed projects from their schooling careers. Once compiled together, seniors presented their projects to committees within their school. Their senior projects needed to include the items below. 

• Best writing sample (student choice)
• Resume
• Documentation of school involvement or community service
• Completion of a FAFSA or personal budget
• Documentation of college visit or job shadowing

If approved, this will eliminate seniors having to defend their project either with their English teachers and/or school administration teams. 

 Seniors must have no more than ten (10} cumulative unexcused absences during their final year.

Seniors schedules have varied from in-person to remote learning to BCA. Even though August 26, 2020 was the first day of school, high school seniors didn't return to in-person learning until October 26, 2020. After a week of in-person, students went back to remote learning due to the Governor's mandate. On January 19, 2021, high school seniors returned for a hybrid schedule. On March 29, 2021, those seniors who elected to return to in-person, returned to in-person four days a week with Wednesdays remaining hybrid. 

If approved, this would require all seniors to be in compliance with the other four requirements per policy 08.112, Graduation Policy, specifically Commencement Ceremony, with the exception of ten (10) days unexcused absence.

 
Grading Policy 08.221 
Our Grading Policy 08.221, specifically Weighted Grade Point Average, requires any student enrolled in a College Board Advanced Placement (AP) class to take the AP exam in order to receive the weighted grade. The College Board is allowing students to take the AP exams online from June 1, 2021 through June 10, 2021. 

If approved, this would allow all students who are currently enrolled during the 2020-2021 school year in a College Board Advanced Placement (AP) class to receive a weighted grade. 

Civics Assessment Update 
The waiver passed by the KDE suspends KRS 158.141, which requires students to pass a 100-question civics test to graduate from a Kentucky public high school, for the 2019-2020 school year. While most students scheduled to graduate at the end of the current school year have already completed this requirement, a small number of 2020-2021 Bullitt County Public School seniors had not done so prior to NTI beginning Monday, March 16, 2020. 

Approval is requested to waive the Graduation Policy 08.113, specifically Additional Locally Established Graduation Requirements until July 31, 2021. 

Approval is requested to waive Grading Policy 08.221, specifically for students enrolled in College Board Advanced Placement classes for the 2020-2021 school year. 

Requested is approval for a school request change for Riverview Opportunity Center (ROC). Currently, ROC is approved to serve students in grades 6-12. Due to the 2021-2022 Bullitt Virtual Learning Academy (BVLA) being implemented through ROC, the school request change for ROC to serve students in grades K-12 will need to be filed with the Kentucky Department of Education. The 2021-2022 BVLA will be available to students in grades 2-12; however, requesting the change to include K-12 will allow for future growth in the program.
