Carl Lee - CISD Transportation/Maintenance

Ms. Elisha Rhodes, CMS Principal, updated the Board with the following: Academically: We finished two rounds of MAP testing and three rounds of Learning Checks. Final round of MAP testing will be in April. Once the final round of MAP testing and Learning Checks is complete, the data will be analyzed to see where CMS is as far as reaching AMO for the year. The teachers are working on their data and will have that in by this Friday. Winter round of MAP testing usually seems to drop every year but this year CMS has seen huge gains. We’re very excited about the things that we have in place and the progressing that we’re seeing because we’re gearing up for a big year of K-Prep. We’re continuing guided planning which is something I spoke with you about last year. We see that’s very effective with the teachers as far as giving them time to sit down and talk about what they’re doing and look over data together to improve their instruction. Things that we have done this year that we’re going to keep in place for next year are the performance level in reading and math for first period. That was a huge success for us this year and then we’ll also keep in place grades 4-6 having math and reading revisited classes to keep them math and reading focused all day for our tier three students. We’ve put those two things majorly to the growth that we’ve seen and will continue to do. Extracurricular: All of our athletic teams up to this point have hung a banner so we’re in the process of ordering banners for the gymnasium. Some of those were season champions, tournament champions and tournament runner-up. Everyone has brought home hardware this year. We recently had an opportunity to host a community of learners’ event. It was a very uplifting for CMS. We had sixteen individuals, principals and teachers from across the state representing six districts that attended. We had an hour out of the day to take them on a tour around the school to share with them what we’re doing. It was great to see other districts wowed by the things we are doing that we take for granted every day. Lonnie Moore, who is one of the authors of Leader in Me, attended and took pictures that we can look forward to seeing in future trainings and possibility in their books. CMS was also invited as one of three prestigious middle schools that are implementing Leader in Me to a training on April 26th to share with other schools what we’re doing. They’ve asked us to bring our adult and student Lighthouse Teams to the training to share with them the events happening at CMS.

Ms. Pat Hall: We had a really good annual conference this year. We did miss Ms. Johnson and we hope that next year she’ll be able to attend with us. We look forward to every year all of us being able to get together and attend conference. Things are moving along smoothly for the Board.

Mr. Mike Deaton: As Ms. Rhodes mentioned, we’re gearing up toward K-Prep. As of this morning, there are 24 days until testing. All of our buildings are doing a good job in preparation for the upcoming testing. Next month we will need to discuss our school nurse program because it will be coming up for renewal and the Lake Cumberland Health District is starting to inquire about what each of the districts that participated injunction with them this year will want to do for next year. We’ll come before you next month and discuss that. A reminder that there is a Town Hall Meeting tomorrow night with Commissioner Pruitt from the Kentucky Department of Education. It will be held at Campbellsville University from 6:30 pm to 8:00 pm in the Recital Hall. The Commissioner will be discussing the upcoming accounting with a State of the Union message so to speak. Compliments to everyone that was involved in either hosting, helping or sponsorship of the Chamber of Commerce Luncheon that we had on March 10th. It went very well and we had a lot of compliments about our students and their active role that they took in hosting that event which was then followed up with the groundbreaking at CES. I was very proud of our students and I can’t say enough about the work that was done by everyone else that put on the luncheon. They did a fantastic job. We delivered on our pledge made five years ago to improve our College and Career Readiness by 2015. We were one of the districts that met the goal that was given to us by the state. Congratulations to everyone in the District for all of their hard work in achieving the goal. Right now, we have a lot of our middle and high school students from Ms. Jo Ann Harris’s classes who have art work being displayed at the Taylor County Public Library. If you have a chance to stop by there to see their work, please do so. As the spring sports begin we have an addition to extracurricular activities. We have our first ever fishing team that will compete for Campbellsville High School. They will be ably lead by Mr. Jeff Richardson as their coach. Now we’re looking for boat captains. If you’re 21 years of age and have a boat with proof of insurance and would like to be involved, we are certainly looking for anyone that will fit that bill. Some not so good news. Our transportation monies that Mr. Kidwell received from the SEEK allocations, was down $17,429 from last year which was following up the 2013-14 cut of $47,930. To say that budget for transportation is tight, would be an understatement. We will need everyone that can to reach out to your legislators. I will come to the Board next month with what I think will be in our best interest if we put out a resolution as some Boards have done against vouchers which is HB620. We would want to pass a Board resolution that states we can only support a variation of a charter school that falls under local school board control and not as a separate system in which monies that are normally earmarked for the public school district to then fall to that charter school. With funding being as it is right now and with the uncertainty that’s to come as the Senate begins to debate their version of the budget, we need every dollar possible. That’s why I think we would also want to reach out and support the House version of the budget bill that just came out. It removes the Governor’s proposed cuts to our P-12 funding. Anything that we can do that would get in someone’s ear to ask them to please restore monies that may possibly be taken away from us as the cuts that they’re talking about are pretty significant, 4.5% the remainder of this year and then you’re looking at 9% to come in the following years. We certainly would like to offer our support to the House version of the budget. We have a program that provides support to our first year teachers which pairs them up with a mentor. This year I have asked Mr. Settle to take that program a step beyond because a teacher that comes in in their first year, one year is probably not enough support in order to fully empower that teacher to have the kind of confidence and skills necessary to go into the classroom and handle the day to day issues. Mr. Settle has had regular meetings with great turnout with some of our veteran teachers attending the meetings. Mr. Settle, if you don’t care, would you please share a little about the program? Mr. Kent Settle: As Mr. Deaton said, after our audit, they asked us to work with the new teachers so Mr. Deaton came up with the idea of working with our non-tenured group which are the less experienced teachers. Basically we have designed meetings for the new teachers to have time with the experienced teachers and then themselves to talk about strategies of what they’re doing in the classrooms, how they can get better, how are they meeting students’ needs and things along that line. It has been really well received and I obviously want to continue to do that. We have done this with non-tenured teachers during Early Release Fridays. We have met with our non-tenured teachers 5 times throughout the year and with our new teachers 6 times. We will have an end of the year wrap up before testing starts. I believe it’s been a good program that we need to continue.

Ms. Pat Hall: The upcoming Town Hall meeting will be very important. It will be the second of twelve that will be open to all of our surrounding counties. We’re very honored to be hosting one in Campbellsville. It will be a great opportunity for us to speak up for education for the entire state as well as what goes on locally.
