5.b.1. Request for Proposal for Integrated Data Dashboard - RFP 2019-2020 RFP #06
Adrienne Usher
Rationale

District audit results revealed need for improvements related to monitoring "a systematic improvement process" specific to (1) data analysis and disaggregation of academic and non-academic needs at (2) procedures to analyze outcomes of school/district level support-programs that improve student learning and performance. Also an identified need is a documented, systematic quality assurance process used to be used by schools and the district for effectiveness and consistency. More specifically, this improvement area sated to "collect, analyze and monitor progress made towards achieving the district's educational expectations; and evaluate and monitor the process to ensure adjustments to the district's education expectations are made." Based on comparison of improvement areas and the current reality, the district and schools have a variety of data sources housed in many different locations. Due to this, the time it takes teachers, administrators and district leaders to collect, analyze and draw conclusions to inform decisions for continuous improvement is cumbersome and inefficient. Based on beginning strategic planning work, the current data collection methods are a barrier to timely action for continuous improvement. Due to this need, a Request for Proposal for an Integrated Data Dashboard for the 2019-2020 school year to assist with more organizational effectiveness leading to improvement performance is requested. The bid results will be provided at the May 2019 Board meeting.

5.g.3. Verizon Cellular MiFi Service for LJES/MES
Jim Jackson
Rationale

Lebanon Junction and Maryville Elementary schools request portable internet service with Verizon for emergency situations that may occur at the school. Recently, Bullitt County has been the target of internet denial of service attacks, which now seem to be coming more frequently. While KDE has procedures in place to mitigate this issue, it can sometimes take 10-20 minutes for internet services to be fully restored. This is beyond the district's control and it may sometimes be inconvenient for schools. Each school will fund this expense.
