THRIVE Academy Coach Agreements
Adrienne Usher
Since the Kentucky Teacher Internship Program (KTIP) lost its funding several years ago, our district proactively established the New Teacher Induction Program, THRIVE, to ensure our new educators receive essential support. For the past few years (since Fall 2019), THRIVE has been instrumental in onboarding and nurturing our newest teachers, and the overwhelmingly positive feedback from past participant surveys underscores its value and impact. Building on this success, we are excited to continue and enhance our new teacher program for the upcoming academic year. We've diligently revised the THRIVE program to offer increased teacher support and a more comprehensive mentoring experience. This updated model is deeply rooted in the expertise of Dr. Tina Boogren, who specializes in providing the critical support new teachers need to build a solid foundation for their entire teaching career.
To effectively implement the THRIVE Academy program, we are requesting approval for the attached, signed substitute contracts for Terri Lewis and Carrie Compton. They will serve as our THRIVE Academy coaches, providing crucial mentoring, direct support, coaching, and professional learning opportunities for teachers with zero years of experience. The total estimated cost for this vital initiative, covering salary, travel, and programming supplies, will not exceed $85,000. Your approval of these agreements is requested to allow us to move forward with the implementation of our enhanced THRIVE Academy program, ensuring our newest teachers receive the best possible start in BCPS.

Permission to utilize the exemption of the PLE Tool to
maintain paid meal prices for SY 25-26
Todd Crumbacker
The Department of School Nutrition Services (SNS) is required to complete the Paid Lunch Equity (PLE) Tool each school 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 June are exempt from the PLE pricing requirements for the following school year. Because Fund 51 did not have a negative balance as of 6/30/2024, I am utilizing the exemption and am NOT recommending price increases for SY 25-26. 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 25-26. 25-26 Paid Lunch Equity (PLE) Tool

Senate Bill 181 Traceable Communication
Usher/Kleinholter
Senate Bill 181 mandates that each local board of education designate a traceable
communication system as the exclusive means for school district employees and volunteers to
communicate electronically with students. This critical directive aims to enhance student safety,
ensure transparency, and provide accountability for all electronic interactions within the school
environment. Below provides the traceable communication systems for BCPS:
? Infinite Campus (IC): As the official student information system (SIS) for the state,
Infinite Campus is the central hub for student data, including attendance, grades, and
schedules.
? Google Suite (District accounts including email): Our district leverages this
comprehensive suite of tools for daily instruction and collaboration. This includes Google
Classroom for assignments, district-provided email for communication, and Google Drive
for cloud-based storage and productivity.
? Board of Education Approved/Purchased Instructional Software Platforms
(Edgenuity, Go Guardian, Seesaw, Inkwire, iReady, etc.): To enhance learning,
BCPS provides a variety of vetted, purchased, and Board-approved software platforms.
These specialized programs contain instructional content and integrated communication
features to provide students with targeted feedback and support.
? Rooms (Thrillshare & BCPS App)
? Over the past two years, BCPS has implemented and piloted a traceable
communication platform called “Rooms” which is part of our existing website and
school district app company called Apptegy. Rooms is specifically designed to
meet the requirements of the new legislation, offering a secure, centralized, and
easily traceable environment for all school-to-home and school-to-student
electronic communications.
? Apptegy’s Rooms addresses the legislative requirements through the following
features:
¦ Comprehensive Traceability and Archiving: Rooms automatically logs
and archives every message, creating a complete and easily retrievable
audit trail for all electronic communications between staff/volunteers and
students.
¦ Exclusive and Streamlined Communication: The platform serves as an
authorized channel for electronic student communication, simplifying
interactions and significantly reducing the risk of unauthorized or
non-compliant messaging.
¦ Enhanced Parental Engagement and Oversight: Rooms makes it easy
to notify parents about the official communication system and provides
them with a user-friendly interface to access and review all
communications sent to their student(s).
This memo serves to recommend that the Bullitt County Public Schools Board of Education
approve: Infinite Campus (IC), Google Suite (District accounts including email), Board of
Education Approved/Purchased Instructional Software Platforms, and Rooms (Thrillshare
& BCPS App) platform as the official traceable communication systems for electronic
communication between school district employees/volunteers and students, in compliance with
Senate Bill 181
