Ms. Elisha Rhodes, CES Principal, was present and updated the Board with the following:

Ms. Rhodes presented a video made by students, Kate Billiter and Logan England, which showed highlights of the students and staff at Campbellsville Elementary School.

A couple of other things going on at CES. We just hosted our Dining with Disney Kindergarten registration and it was a huge success. It was one of the best nights of my educational career. We had over 200 people come. Our goal was to get the public to see who we are, answer questions and let them tour the building. We had two different stories where people didn’t want to come, they weren’t sure where they wanted to send their kids and one guy had to beg his wife to come and they were the last ones to leave. It was a fun night and we look forward to doing it again.

Just to try to make connections with parents and the community before they get to kindergarten, we’re working with the hospital to deliver books to newborns and congratulating the parents on their new addition from CES.

We’re also working on creating some type of 5^th grade promotion because that will be new now that 5^th grade is back. We’re thinking of doing something special like an awards night to get them ready for middle school.

In April we’re going to do a family literacy night to really work on bringing back family involvement at CES. We’re also doing a KPREP celebration ceremony where the kids get to come up and put a hand print on a canvas and the teacher that taught that subject will get their hand print as well. Those canvases will be hung in the gym. This will be something we’ll continue to do each year.

We received a Lowe’s grant and with that grant we bought bouncy balls for flexible seating and tables. Also, Taylor County Bank made a donation this year which helped us tremendously.

We’re continuing to work toward our goal this year of 65% proficient/distinguished. After we average out 3rd, 4^th, and 5^th grades together, we set a goal to see where we needed to be to make sure we meet our benchmarks and we’re constantly monitoring that through MAP.

Ms. Pat Hall, Board Chairperson:

We all had the opportunity to attend the KSBA annual conference. It was really great for all of the Board members and something new for Mr. Smith. It was just one more meeting available for him to do some networking.

I will have to brag on Ms. Hinton one more time. She has taken the role of Regional Director of KOSAA for the next three years. It will keep Campbellsville in the swing of things with KSBA.

I would also like to announce that the School Safety Forum scheduled for tomorrow night will be a Special Called Meeting because we will have a quorum of Board Members at the Forum. However, the only role the Board will have is calling the meeting to order and adjourning the meeting. There will be no action taken.

Mr. Kirby Smith, Superintendent, updated the Board with the following:

What a wonderful night!!! We have had such a great year thus far and I look forward to seeing us finish the year strong.

The high school administrative team will be traveling to Shelby County on Wednesday March 21^st to tour their BIG Picture school.

I really enjoyed and learned a lot at the National Conference on Education in Nashville TN on February 15^th and 16^th. I was able to attend a session on developing a Profile of a Graduate. This session will help with the work we have already started through GRREC.

I had another Superintendent training on March 1^st and 2^nd in Louisville at the Galt House in conjunction with the KSBA Annual conference. My training was great and I enjoyed the KSBA conference. I want to thank you all for attending the conference and for serving as board members. 

CU Excellence in teaching award winners by school are:

CHS- JoAnn Harris

CMS- Sharon Harris

CES- Laura Dicken

I have a few more Superintendent trainings this year before my year end capstone presentation, tentatively scheduled for May 29^th at 12:00 at the board of education.

We will have a community forum to discuss school safety on Tuesday March 20^th at 6:00pm in Hamilton Auditorium. This meeting will provide an opportunity for all to communicate with each other to discuss school safety. 

ACT scores for our sophomore students on the recent test. Right now they are sitting at a composite score of 18.6 as a class, with a few more scores left to come in.

Important Dates to remember:

o  ACT for all juniors- March 20^th

o    31 days until state testing begins – last 14 days of school

o   Graduation date is Saturday May 26^th at 11:00 am in Hamilton Auditorium

o   CHS Top 10% banquet will be Sunday April 22^nd at 12:30 in the CHS cafe   

I know we have already recognized them but I believe it is worth mentioning again. Congratulation to Coach Anthony Epps and his Lady Eagle basketball team on winning the 20^th District Championship! It had been 16 years since we last won a girls basketball championship. Also, want to recognize Coach Tim Davis and his team for advancing to the regional tournament and making it to the semifinal game against eventual 5^th region champions John Hardin.

Our spring sports are now in full swing and will begin playing soon.
