Present were Zach Lewis, Principal; Jan Speer, Teacher Representative; Sharon Harris, Teacher Representative; and Don Dabney, Parent Representative, and updated the Board with the following:

KPREP Data:

6^th Grade – 45% P/D Reading and 43% P/D Math

7^th Grade – 48% P/D Reading and 34% P/D Math

8^th Grade – 47% P/D Reading, 38% P/D Math, and 55% P/D Social Studies

At least 40% of students scored apprentice in math in 6^th, 7^th and 8^th Grades.

What we are doing:

RTI class period to focus on reading and math. Each student is working on his/her individual skills according to MAP data/teacher recommendation.

Working to reduce the number of students scoring Apprentice in math. Addressing this through individual work during RTI and individualized learning on academic programs such as Khan Academy and Moby Max.

Focus on GAP/Bubble students in grades 6-8 with Data Wall, Student Draft and PLC meetings.

School wide focus on math and reading with monthly instructional focus. During the month of October, teachers are focusing on asking students how and why questions to promote a deeper level of understanding.

Academic Goals:

Where do we want to be? – All grades at least 65% of students in each grade on level according to MAP in reading. All grades at least 55% of students in each grade on level according to MAP in math. All grades with fewer than 10% students in Tier III in both reading and math.

How are we going to get there? Utilizing RTI class to address the individual needs of every student. Developing relationships with each student and their parents, working to help each student reach their own personal level of success.

Student Draft – All teachers/staff members have selected students to be on the accountability team. These teachers will speak with their students at least once a week about their progress in class.

What we will continue to do:

Use MAP data/assessment data to drive our instruction.

Grade level PLC’s to discuss monthly instructional focuses and possible ways to improve instruction in the classroom.

Ask parents to be an active participant in their student’s learning with Parent/Teacher Conferences and Positive Contacts – at least 3 contacts per week.

Foster relationships with parents and community members to help our students experience success.

Host tutoring sessions at least 1 Friday per month on early release Fridays where students can stay after school and work with teachers or work in the labs on assignments they have due.

Good News Update:

40 students and parents attended first student led conferences. Hand written invitations will be sent out next conference time to encourage better participation.

7^th Grade Football Team made it to the Region Semi-Final of the Middle School State Football Tournament.

Mrs. Andrea Gribbins and students worked last Saturday to make improvements to the courtyard area. This will be used as an outdoor classroom for students at CMS and CHS.

Ms. Pat Hall – Board Chair: We had a very good KSBA Regional meeting to finish up our service and pass the torch on to Somerset and looking forward to working with them.

I would ask everyone to please pay attention to their emails where we are receiving updates from Eric Kennedy with regard to the pension issue as well as the charter school information.

I would like to start off tonight by thanking Ms. Hall for her service for serving as regional chair on the KSBA Board of Directors. On September 26^th our district hosted the Middle Cumberland Regional meeting. The meeting went well and our students that performed did a great job. Just like we always we do, it was a first class event. 

Eagle Family night was once again a huge success. I am not sure exactly how many attended but it continues to be an amazing event.

Since we last met I have attended two more mandatory Superintendent trainings and I have another coming up Thursday in Frankfort.

I was ask and graciously accepted the opportunity to speak to the Rotary Club last week about our District. I continue to attend as many Rotary and Chamber meetings as possible. I love it when I have the opportunity to share with our community about the wonderful things we have going on in our District.

I attended the City’s Bicentennial celebration last week. Our middle and high school choir performed and did a magnificent job. All of our middle and high school students attended. After the ceremony, a former Principal from Florida came up and told me how impressed she was with our students and their behavior during the ceremony. 

On October 20^th Representative Carney and Senator Wise will be speaking to our employees concerning the upcoming legislative session. Obviously, the hot topic for discussion will be the status of the pension crisis.

On November 14^th our District will be hosting a legislative forum with Representative Carney. This is open for all Independent Districts throughout the state.

Mr. Kidwell, Mr. McMahan and I met with several contractors last month in regards to the glue issue in 5 classrooms and a hallway downstairs. During fall break, Mr. McMahan and his crew took up the tile and cleaned the floors. We are going to wait and see if we have any other issues in other rooms (hopefully we will not). At the end of the year, we will then decide how to approach the problem.  We have about 3 options. We still have a water problem in the dish room at CES. We are working with Scott and Kenny to get the problem fixed.

Mr. Kidwell and I met last week with Joe Nance, of Ross, Sinclair and Associates to discuss bonding potential for the projects at Campbellsville Middle School.

Mr. Kidwell and I also met with Scott Noel, our architect for the district. Scott is in the beginning stages of preparing to develop a new facilities plan for the district. There are several things we must to before we ever begin the actual facilities plan:

We are in the process of putting together the LPC committee and at the November board meeting we will need to approve the committee.

1^st Meeting will be November 16^th at 5:30 here at the board office – orientation Part I.

2^nd meeting will be November 30^th at 5:30 here at the board office – orientation Part II.

3^rd meeting will be December 7^th at 5:30 here at the board office – begin to draft the facility plan.

At the December meeting, we will then approve the facility plan that will be good for four years.

On Wednesday, I will be meeting with Ms. Hall and my executive coach Dr. Carter and my mentor Jon Ballard to discuss and review my progress thus far.

Extracurricular Activities:

Boy’s golf team finished runner in the region and advanced to the state tournament.  Finished 9^th out of 24 teams. 

Our band continues to bring home the awards. They have finished 1^st in class A in every competition thus far.

Our middle school girls’ basketball team will begin tournament play tomorrow night.  Our 7^th and 8^th grade teams have had a good regular season.
