Rationale

Attached is a proposed partnership agreement between the Bullitt County Public Schools District and the University of Louisville to implement an Option 9 program partnership.  Participants in the program will be classified employees working as paraeducators in the district.  Participants will earn a Bachelor's Degree from the University of Louisville and initial certification from EPSB within three (3) years while employed in the district.  Participants will work under the supervision of a mentor teacher.  The mentor teacher will be paid a stipend by the district, which would be the only cost the district would incur for the program.  (We currently have an existing Option 9 partnership with the University of the Cumberlands.)

5.g.2. Chromebook Lease 2024-2025
Kevin Fugate
Rationale

After trying our Vivacity and HP devices this school year, we've decided to go back to Dell.  Our trial run with the accidental damage protection proved to not be what we expected.  Dell has a new education model, the 3110, which shares some of the same parts with the previous model the 3100.  For the white glove process, we will use Trace 3 again since we have had a good relationship with them before.

The Kindergarten touchscreen devices will be a Dell 3110 and the 3/6/9 grade non-touch devices will be the Dell 3110.  We will lease the Kindergarten, 3rd and 6th- grade devices for 3 years with the incoming 9th grade at 4 years.  The total amount that will be paid throughout 3 and 4 years will be $1,294.436.67.  Payments are detailed in the lease documents.  The Google Chrome for Education license remains at $32.50 per device and is included in the quote.  

Insight Financial will remain our lease provider.  The purchase and lease documents are attached for your approval.  After your approval, we'll send it off to the  state for KDE's approval.

5.g.3. Otus Service Agreement
Adrienne Usher
Rationale

Based on recent and continued legislative mandates related to purchasing of assessment platforms and high quality instructional resources, there is an abundance of student data across multiple programs and platforms.  This is cumbersome for teachers, grade levels and departments, school leaders, and district leaders to assess the overall performance and growth of individual students, groups of students, grade levels, schools, etc.  In addition, our current system of data communication from IC to these programs does not allow us to break down data by subgroups, gender, etc. Due to this, I am requesting approval of Otus which is a data dashboard that connects directly to Infinite Campus that will provide student specific data from any and all data sources.  Utilizing Otus will allow school and district staff to spend more time on reviewing data for decision and action as compared to the time creating spreadsheets.  In addition, this dashboard will also allow us to track more innovative assessment measures related to our Graduate Profile Performance Outcomes and aspects of community accountability.  This has been reviewed by school and district leaders for input.  The cost of the one year contract is $86,400 and finding will come from the curriculum, instruction, and assessment budget.

5.j. Fax Lines at Schools
Kev
Rationale

With increased costs coming from Windstream for school fax lines, our department started looking for alternatives to lower costs.  In addition to rising landline costs, we know that this is sometimes an overwhelming burden on our schools and their bookkeepers to maintain and pay for.

Educational Networks of America, or ENA, is our statewide internet service provider.  In the fall, we transferred our phone lines to them.  They have a module that allows faxes to go over the internet service.  We are currently using the service at both Nichols Elementary and Lebanon Junction Elementary.  The only service difference is that they now have the same numbering convention as their respective schools, and all have the 869 prefix.  This will be the same numbering convention for the entire district.

I've attached an example invoice from Crossroads Elementary where the bill had gone from $14.99 a month plus fees to now $54.99 plus fees.  The cost for ENA's solution is only $25 per month.

My department will take over all account management including bill pay.  Each school is allocated $1,200 to cover telecommunications.  This allocation is above and beyond the section 6 allocation.  The funding to cover the school telecommunications will be transferred to the technology general fund budget.
