The Bullitt County Public Schools Department of Special Education requests approval of the attached Memorandums of Agreement to partner with the following agencies in providing Pre-ETS to students with disabilities: Zoom Group, Inc., Mattingly Edge, Windrose Employment Services, and Options Unlimited, Inc. These MOAs have been reviewed and approved by school board counsel. There is no cost to the school district as funding for services from these agencies is provided from the Department of Vocational Rehabilitation.

The implementation of Pre-Employment Transition Services (Pre-ETS) serves as a critical bridge between secondary education and post-secondary success. Pre-ETS is a strategic pedagogical approach designed to fulfill the mandates of IDEA. Under IDEA, the primary purpose of special education is to ensure that students with disabilities are prepared for further education, employment, and independent living. IDEA requires that the IEP include a "coordinated set of activities" designed within a results-oriented process. Partnering with vendors to provide the Five Core Services directly addresses these legal requirements by providing the instruction, community experiences, and employment objectives necessary to satisfy the district's obligation to provide a Free Appropriate Public Education (FAPE). Within Pre-ETS, there are five core services: Job Exploration Counseling, Work-Based Learning Experiences, Counseling on Post-Secondary Opportunities, Workplace Readiness Training, and Instruction in Self-Advocacy.

The implementation of Pre-ETS creates a vital bridge between IDEA and the Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act (WIOA). While IDEA mandates that schools lead the transition planning process, WIOA requires vocational rehabilitation agencies to collaborate with schools to provide these five specific categories of service. We are leveraging federal interagency requirements to provide high-quality Work-Based Learning and Self-Advocacy training. This collaboration minimizes the risk of service gaps, ensuring our district meets the IDEA standard of preparing students for "competitive integrated employment" and successful post-secondary transitions. By partnering with specialized vendors, the district gains access to expert resources and community networks that extend beyond the traditional classroom. This collaboration ensures that every student receives high-quality, specialized instruction that fulfills the district's obligation to provide a comprehensive and effective education. Our goal in these partnerships is to move beyond compliance and toward empowerment, ensuring every student graduates with a clear path toward a self-determined and successful future.

laws, including FERPA, COPPA, and HIPAA, and must securely destroy or return all BCPS Data

We’ve chosen Dell as our Chromebook partner for another year. We worked to get quotes
from other vendors, but have been largely unsuccessful with the exception of
CDWG/Lenovo. Due to market volatility with RAM for data centers and increasing processor
chip costs, prices have increased significantly. Kindergarten through Second Grade will use
a 2-in-1 convertible Chromebook, while Grades 3 through 12 will continue to use a
non-touch clamshell device.

Our white-glove partner will be Encore, the official reseller for Dell.
The Kindergarten touchscreen devices will be a Dell 11, and the 3/6/9 grade non-touch
devices will be the Dell 11. We will lease the Kindergarten, 3rd, and 6th-grade devices for 3

The Department of School Nutrition Services (SNS) requests permission to apply for and participate in the Sun Meals Program, formerly known as the Summer Food Service Program (SFSP), during the summer weeks of 2026. Sun Meals ensures that children continue to receive nutritious meals when school is not in session. Breakfast and lunch meals are available at no cost to all children under the age of 19 years; these meals will be made available at approved Sun Meal sites in areas with significant concentrations of low-income children. Our department is planning to conduct non-congregate feeding, which will allow children to receive a weekly meal pack; meal packs will include daily breakfast and lunch meal offerings. This request for 2026 includes the need for, at maximum, fifteen (15) kitchen associates, three (3) kitchen managers and substitutes on an as-needed basis for no more than 40 days. Participation in Sun Meals benefits other community programs, such as Right at School of Bullitt County, by providing free meals, thus allowing other program funds to go towards education and enrichment activities.
