Construction Items
Danny Clemens
5.e.1.
BEHS Fine Arts-Change Order 06-Miscellaneous Masonry Changes per Contract Unit Prices
Danny Clemens
This cost is supported with Contract Unit Price #9 for Masonry CMU construction. Work includes provision of new masonry walls where existing conditions were not in a suitable condition to remain.
Walls in Restroom 800 needed to be replaced after demolition of the existing plumbing fixtures. A 6 inch chase wall was added to accommodate new electrical panels that could not be installed on an existing CMU wall. A 4-inch CMU veneer was added to the interior wall where exterior brick was removed, and damp proofing was present that would not have yielded an acceptable end-result. This cost also includes the addition of two chase walls in the kitchen to accommodate kitchen equipment plumbing vents that could not be run horizontally.
All work improves the overall finished product of the school and additions were verified as necessary by the Design Team.
5.e.2.
Bernheim- Change Order #17 -Secondary Electrical Deduct, FC Flooring and Added Sink at 108

Adding Admin Building Fax Modules & Translation Assistant
Kevin Fugate
While working with Prosource, our current copier leaseholder, we found that they could help us get further away from POTS (plain old telephone service) lines for our fax machines since we've been long gone with our phones. The FCC has pushed phone carriers to have copper line alternatives since August 2022. We moved our phones to VOIP in 2019-2020.
We ask for your permission to add VOIP modules to our administrative building fax lines which allows us to have the same numbering convention as our phone numbers, and reduces the number of separate telecom bills. Windstream bills recently went up and were detailed in the fax module addition at the school level memo in April which is another reason for us to switch. The fax lines through ENA will only cost $25 for each line. The cost for adding these to our current copier is on the attached quote.
In addition to the transition to copier fax lines, we'd also like to ask permission to add two Lexmark Translation Assistant copiers to our lease. Brooks Elementary recently had a trial period for one and loved the help it gave them in translating communication documents for their families. In addition to getting one for BES, we'd also like one for DPP for our yearly Kindergarten Kick-Off and district communications. Many, if not all, languages we currently have in our district can be translated using this device and the cloud translation application that comes with it. Through this purchase, we went to continue testing the devices before deciding if other schools could also benefit from the device and application. The cost of the Lexmark Translation Assistant copiers is detailed in the attached quote.

Pledge of Collateral (fka Bond of Depository)
Lisa Lewis
In Fiscal Year 2021-2022, the "Bond of Depository" has been changed to "Pledge of Collateral." Please note the name change in addition to important process changes:
- There is no longer a "penal sum" calculation requirement, which was utilized by a district to calculate a bond amount guaranteed by the district's depository institution. For FY 2021-2022, a district must simply provide a Pledge of Collateral, which will demonstrate collateral in an amount at least equal to deposits in the form of secured funds or a surety bond. If the collateral is in the form of a surety bond, the board of education can enter into an agreement with its depository institution whereby the premium on collateral guaranteed by the surety company may be paid either by the board, or by the depository as evidenced in KRS 160.570 (2). If the district board of education pays the premium, the depository shall allow the board not less than two percent (2%) interest on its average daily or average monthly balances.
- The depository selected shall, before entering upon its duties, provide collateral in accordance with KRS41.240 and 66.480. According to KRS 41.240, the depository institution should pledge or provide enough collateral which, together with FDIC insurance, equals or always exceeds the amount of public funds on deposit. The pledged (collateral) amount is determined by the depository institution and entered in SEEK as it previously has been and is due to the Kentucky Department of Education (KDE) annually by July 1, with approval from the commissioner of education.
- The Pledge of Collateral Agreement provides evidence between the board of education and the depository institution of a pledge or provision of collateral in the event or failure or insolvency of the depository institution. This agreement shall be signed by both parties and maintained at the local board of education.
Approve motion as recommended.

Since the Kentucky Internship Program (KTIP) has been unfunded for several years now, we have instituted a New Teacher Induction Program called THRIVE for the last few years. Due to the positive feedback from past participants through surveys, we would like to continue our new teacher program. We have worked to revise our program for the upcoming year for increased teacher support and provide a more comprehensive mentoring program. This model is based on the work of Dr. Tina Boogren who specializes in the necessary and critical support that new teachers need in their first year to provide a solid foundation into their future years of teaching.
Attached you will find substitute contracts for Terri Lewis and Carrie Compton who will serve as our THRIVE Academy coaches to provide mentoring, support, coaching and professional learning for teachers with zero years of experience. The total cost of the work is a maximum of $85,0000 for salary, travel and programming supplies. Approval is requesting for the attached, signed substitute contracts to be utilized for the purpose of implementing our THRIVE Academy program.

Insurance Renewals
Lisa Lewis
Currently, Assured Partners Nl LLC holds the Commercial Property, Commercial General Liability, Commercial Automobile, and Commercial Umbrella insurance plans through Liberty Mutual Insurance. The current year premiums are $1,160,626. The renewal quote is $1,345,793. This represents a 14.77% increase. While this is an increase, this is a good renewal with the uncertainty in the marketplace right now.

Permission to utilize the exemption of the PLE Tool to maintain paid meal prices for SY 24-25
The Department of School Nutrition Services (SNS) is required to complete the Paid Lunch Equity (PLE) Tool each year to ensure that paid student lunch prices are priced to keep up with inflation. School districts without a negative balance in the school food service account (Fund 51) at the end of the June are exempt from the PLE pricing requirements for the following school year. Because Fund 51 did not have a negative balance as of 6/30/24, I am utilizing the exemption and am NOT recommending price increases for SY 24-25. I have included the Paid Lunch Equity Tool which is provided by the Department of Education- School and Community Nutrition; the tool provides recommendations to districts to reflect the cost of inflation.
Recommendation: Approve the exemption to NOT raise paid meal prices for SY 24-25.

Fifth Grade Virtual Teaching Extra Duty
Adrienne Usher
The decision to not continue with offering elementary grade levels in the Bullitt Virtual Learning Academy (BVLA) was made due to a small number of students in Grades 4 and 5 enrolled during the 2023-2024 school year. In addition, the majority of the students were in fifth grade leaving approximately 6 students in fourth grade. All of the students enrolled in fifth grade will transition to sixth grade in BVLA. Fourth grade parents were notified in a timely manner (winter of 2024) that BVLA would not be an option for the 2024-2025 school year. However, the parents of the fourth graders are planning on enrolling their children in BVLA for their sixth grade year. To help with this transition during the 2024-2025 school year, we would like to offer an extra duty stipend of $4500 to a fifth grade teacher to teach the virtual students in addition to their in-person classroom. This classroom teacher will be responsible for all teaching, assessment, and communication for these students for the entire 2024-2025 academic year. This virtual learning experience will be different from the Bullitt Virtual Learning Academy as students will be required to be online more often throughout the
instructional day which will be communicated to parents. The extra duty stipend will be posted internally and interviews will be conducted as appropriate. Approval is requested to create a Fifth Grade Virtual Teaching Extra Duty position as an extra duty at $4500 for the 2024-2025 school year only.
