Jefferson Community and Technical College MOA
Lee Barger
Presented is a Memorandum of Agreement with the Jefferson Community and Technical College for the 2021-2022 school year. The purpose of this agreement is to set forth the terms and conditions for awarding dual credit to Bullitt County students who are enrolled in Dual Credit courses within the high school setting or on a JCTC Campus. Junior and Senior Dual Credit students will be eligible for the Kentucky Dual Credit Scholarship for two successfully completed dual credit courses by graduation. Above the Kentucky Dual Credit Scholarship, students signed up for a Dual Credit class will not be charged anything more than the dual credit tuition rate per credit hour set by HB 206. Dual Credit students are responsible for the cost of textbooks, digital texts, workbooks and/or other expendable items. If a student is unsuccessful in a Dual Credit Course that was covered by the Kentucky Dual Credit Scholarship, 50% of the tuition is required to be returned to KHEAA. JCTC will return the cost. BCPS will be responsible for the cost if the scholarship course was taught by JCTC instructors and will reimburse JCTC. Per statute, all Dual Credit students are required to complete a 30-minute college success counseling session. This will be completed by high school personnel and each student will sign a verification form. All JCTC fees for Dual Credit students will be waived.

Screencastify License Renewal for 21-22
Kevin Fugate
Screencastify is a valuable tool for teachers the last couple of years. They're able to make tutorial videos, sub plans, audio and video feedback on assignments, screen recording, video editing experience for students, recording group assignments, etc. Students also use Screencastify for projects that can allow student choice, giving them opportunities to create digital media to share with peers and back to the teacher. Requested is approval for a 3-year extension with Screencastify at $41,580, at a savings of almost $5,000 over three years.
11.f.7.
Adtec ECF Filing
Kevin Fugate
At the beginning of last school year, BCPS purchased 300 Wi-Fi hotspots and services to accommodate economically disadvantaged students that didn't have internet connectivity. Dr. Bacon surveyed parents the summer before and we found out that nearly 3% of families didn't have internet connectivity in their homes. When forced into remote learning, these became crucial for students to get online to finish classwork and communicate with teachers. They weren't always a perfect solution to the issue but they definitely provided students with access that they wouldn't have had otherwise. In the event that we re-enter remote learning, this is a request to proactively file for ECF in order to renew data for the 350 total hotspots we already have. ECF, or Emergency Connectivity Funds, have been made available through the ERate filing process. The process to file for funding through the ERate program is cumbersome and knowledge of certain FCC rules and regulations is necessary. Requested is permission to use Adtec to file for ECF on behalf of BCPS. The costs are minimal in comparison to the services they provide. The cost to renew the Kajeet services is $92,051.72 and the cost for the Adtec filing is only $3,580. Once approved, the service for these devices will be provided at only the cost of the Adtec service, as the district will be reimbursed for the $92,051.72 purchase.
11.f.8.
Milestone Software Renewal
Kevin Fugate
The Milestone Software SUSP (Software Upgrade and Support Program) keeps the security camera systems up to date and running smoothly for schools and facilities. Datalink is our security integration provider for the Milestone Software SUSP. The cost for this annual is $44,735.44. Not renewing this software doesn't stop functionality, however if it expires (October 31, 2021), we have to purchase three years in advance to renew the SUSP.
11.f.9.
SpecialEdSimplified
Troy Kolb
SpecialEdSimplified is an online resource, aligned with Kentucky Academic Standards for teachers of students with moderate and severe disabilities to help with instructional planning. Teachers will utilize this resource to guide lesson planning, as well as for development in appropriate instructional strategies. The Department of Special Education requests permission to begin using this subscription based resource to help support MSD teachers in the district. The subscription cost is $11,149.20. Funding will come from the BCPS WHAS Crusade for Children Grant allocation.
11.f.10.
Business U
Lee Barger
This agreement with Business U is a digital learning platform for Business Career and Technical Education. This is an interactive business education platform that has been vetted by business and industry professionals. Complete LMS, preloaded standards-based courses covering many programs of study, daily lesson plans and pacing guides are included in this resource. The cost is $8,625.00.

Performance Bond - Adrienne Usher
Lisa Lewis
Per KRS 160.560 and 702 KAR 3:080, it is the duty of each local board of education to bond its board treasurer and any other school employee who is responsible for the board of education funds. The official bond shall be executed for the faithful performance of the duties of the office which is guaranteed by a surety company authorized to do business in the state. The amount of the bond is determined by the Board in accordance with the requirement for the penal sum of the bonds as summarized in the KAR listed above. Earlier this year, the Bullitt County Board of Education approved bond renewals for Becky Sexton, Assistant Superintendent of Support Services, Karen Weaver, Account Clerk and Lisa Lewis, Director of Finance and Treasurer, each in the amount of $1,100,000. With the retirement of Becky Sexton, the District removed Ms. Sexton and added Assistant Superintendent Adrienne Usher. Presented is a copy of the Performance Bond form for Ms. Usher.

Patrick Durham
Presented are Memorandums of Agreement with the Bullitt County YMCA for the 2021-2022 Before and After School Programs and the 2022 Summer Learning Loss Program at Lebanon Junction Elementary School.

The YMCA Summer Learning Loss Program at LJES is funded by the YMCA and BCPS agrees to provide building space and collaboration efforts between LJES administration, teachers and YMCA as necessary/appropriate. The Summer Learning Loss program enrolls approximately 40 students.

International Center for Leadership in Education (ICLE) Services Agreement
Adrienne Usher
As technology continues to change the landscape of the workforce, it is important that we equip staff so that schools can authentically provide students with blended learning opportunities that mimic their chosen path into the workforce. In addition, the district has invested large amounts of funding over several years to provide teachers and students with technology at their fingertips to enhance learning. To assist and improve upon this work, Title IV funds (provided through federal funding) are specifically designated to provide job-embedded professional learning to enhance digital learning and leadership for increased student outcomes for teachers and leaders. The agreement with ICLE provides a group of teacher leaders (through volunteer selection) with training, coaching, and monitoring data on improving the implementation of blended learning outcomes aligned to comprehensive district improvement plan monitored through the Effective Learning Environments Observation Tool (eleot 2.0) specifically monitored through the Digital Learning Environment. The cost of the services is $11,100 to be funded out of Title IV funds only allowable for digital professional learning.
11.f.14.
Schlechty Network for Alternative School (NAS) Renewal
Adrienne Usher
This renewal contract with Schlechty Center Network for Alternative Schools (NAS) will continue to offer professional learning experiences, leadership meetings and coaching/collaboration support. With Schlechty, district personnel continue to learn and implement best practices specific to "transforming the education services and cultivate innovative and engaging classrooms" in the alternative setting. In addition, this network will provide learning opportunities for administrators, teachers and staff who collaborate with the alternative school as well since it serves all three high schools.
11.f.15.

WHEREAS, the Secretary of the Education and Workforce Development Cabinet and the Governor of the Commonwealth of Kentucky have signed that emergency regulation; and
WHEREAS, the Kentucky Board of Education and the Bullitt County Board of Education have deemed it necessary to mitigate the spread of COVID-19 in Kentucky public schools by providing quarantine leave to school employees;
NOW THEREFORE, the Bullitt County Board of Education RESOLVES as follows:
1. During the 2021-22 school year, and pending a new Regulation, Executive Order or Statutory directive, each eligible person employed as a full or part-time employee in the Bullitt County Public Schools (BCPS) shall be provided paid leave during the period the employee is placed in quarantine due to exposure to COVID-19. Exposure to COVID-19 shall include exposure to any variant of COVID-19. This leave shall be in addition to any other leave provided by statute or board policy.
2. In order to be eligible for leave under this section, the employee shall:
(a) Be placed in quarantine due to COVID-19 exposure by a treating medical professional, a public health department, the Department for Public Health, or the BCPS Superintendent or his Designee; and
(b) Have received a COVID-19 vaccination prior to the quarantine period, present a statement from a treating medical professional that a disability prevents the employee from taking the COVID-19 vaccine, or is prevented from taking the COVID-19 vaccination based on a sincerely held religious belief.
3. The Superintendent or his Designee shall provide the employee with written documentation supporting the quarantine determination.
4. The Superintendent or his Designee will require the employee to provide written documentation from the entity placing the employee in quarantine due to COVID-19 exposure.

Such test shall occur no sooner than the earliest date recommended by the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) and Kentucky Department for Public Health (KDPH) quarantine guidelines. The Superintendent or his Designee may require an employee testing negative for COVID-19 to return to work in accordance with CDC and KDPH quarantine guidelines.
