The North Bullitt CTE Program is requesting the modification of the North Bullitt campus in order to add additional electrical circuits and outlets to dedicated CTE classrooms and work spaces. The additional electrical circuits and outlets will directly benefit the following CTE programs: Business, Computer Science, Culinary, and Engineering. The school store, in which Business pathway students learn how to operate a business, does not have the capacity necessary to operate all of the t-shirt presses and printers needed to make effective products to sell to students. The Computer Science program utilizes a large number of computers, but are unable to operate them en masse without fear of blacking out its area of the school building. The Culinary program needs restaurant-style cord drops at the student preparation stations to simulate working in a professional kitchen. The Engineering program would like to be able to have students utilize the classroom computers, soldering equipment, and 3D printers without fear of blacking out its area of the school building.The North Bullitt CTE program is requesting to have the additional electrical circuits installed in already existing electrical closets and the additional outlets installed in the school store (based in the Cafeteria), Culinary lab (Room 14), Engineering lab (Room 20), and in the Computer Science classroom (Room 35).. The funding source for this project will be C?? funds.

I recommend approval of this request.

I ask for permission to continue using Apple iOS and Mac OS device management software, Jamf. This software has helped us refine our inventory efforts and reduce waste for these devices. Coupled with the Apple School Manager software, Jamf has made it possible to manage devices properly and allocate appropriate apps to staff, teachers, and student devices.

Currently, we have a combination of 890 Mac OS and iOS devices in our district. This number varies, but it has increased recently. The quote is for 1200 devices, which provides us with a sufficient buffer for any unexpected increases in demand.

We’ve now used Jamf alongside Apple School Manager for 4 years and have used it successfully to manage software and increase security on iOS and Mac devices. We have also successfully reduced the number of old devices that can no longer get the proper security updates from just over 3000 to 890. This has saved the district over $12,000 over time.

The attached is a services agreement between Kids First Education and Bullitt County Public Schools, to enhance our students' preparedness for the SAT exam. As Kentucky transitions from requiring high school juniors to take the ACT to the SAT, effective August 2025, it is crucial that we provide targeted resources and support to ensure our students succeed. Kids First, with its expertise in SAT connected to professional development and coaching, will play a key role in this initiative, ensuring high-quality, tailored preparation for our students. In response to Kentucky's shift to requiring the SAT as the state-funded college entrance exam, we propose launching a comprehensive support program to help students navigate this transition. Kids First will provide professional development for our educators, along with coaching to improve instruction in SAT-related content areas. This collaboration will provide our students with the necessary resources and test-taking strategies to improve their performance and increase college readiness. Teachers will receive training and coaching from Kids First to help integrate SAT preparation strategies into their classrooms. In addition, Kids First will provide hands-on workshops with students in the high schools and help facilitate family nights at each high school.

Your approval will ensure that our students are well-prepared for the SAT and positioned for success in their college applications. Approval is requested for the services agreement between Kids First Education, LLC. and Bullitt County Public Schools. The cost is $46,400.00 and will come through the curriculum, instruction, and assessment general fund. This agreement has been reviewed by Dinsmore & Shohl, LLP.

Following an extensive review process that included analysis of enrollment capacity across the district, a third-party demographic study, and consideration of current and proposed residential developments, the District Realignment Committee developed a proposal to address long-term enrollment balance, program access, and equity for students across Bullitt County Public Schools. The proposal was presented at the September 8th Board Work Session and has been available to the public through the district's Realignment Hub. This process reflected a thorough examination of transportation patterns, school utilization, and projected growth. The recommendation was developed to ensure that all students have access to equitable opportunities and that facilities are used efficiently and responsibly.

At this time, administration recommends that the Board approve the District Realignment Proposal as presented, with the following exceptions and clarifications:

1. Grandfathering Provision: Families who elect to grandfather their children into their current feeder pattern will have that feeder pattern designated as their student's home school. This will remain in effect until the family elects to either change schools or move residence. A yearly transfer form must be submitted for tracking records, but students will not have a yearly review of grades, attendance, and behavior to determine approval.

2. Nichols Elementary Closure: In connection with the recommendation to close Nichols Elementary, it is further proposed that students currently zoned to Nichols be reassigned to Roby Elementary rather than Brooks Elementary, with those students remaining in the Central feeder pattern.

This recommendation reflects a balance of data-driven analysis and community considerations, with the goal of ensuring long-term sustainability and equitable opportunities for all Bullitt County students.
