IV.C. Recognition of the JCPS 2013 Governor’s Commonwealth Institute for Parent Leadership Fellow Graduates
Rationale

In 2013, three Governor’s Commonwealth Institutes for Parent Leadership (GCIPL) were conducted statewide. These institutes included Louisville and targeted the 18 Priority Schools in the Jefferson County Public School (JCPS) District.

Parents, guardians, caregivers, and mentors of JCPS students were invited to apply to the institute, which provided a unique opportunity to learn how to become more engaged in improving the academic achievement of all JCPS students and how to engage others in this effort. 

Through an application process, more than 30 participants were identified and trained in leadership and communication skills and provided with information on the elements of Kentucky’s education and accountability systems, understanding of school academic and nonacademic data, recognizing achievement gaps among students, and school planning for student success.

At the conclusion of the institute, Fellows agree to commit to leading at least one project in their school or community. A mini-grant is available to support project expenses, and the GCIPL Fellows will also receive one year of coaching from their community support coordinator to help design and implement their projects.

The Jefferson County Board of Education and the Jefferson County Public School District extend their sincere appreciation to the JCPS Fellows for their commitment and efforts in helping our District to ensure the academic success of all JCPS students.

V.W. Approval of Contracts for Nonresident Pupils for Fiscal Year 2014–15
Rationale

After that date, three additional contracts were submitted to JCPS for students who reside in Jefferson County but will be educated by another district (Bardstown Independent, Hardin County, and Nelson County).

V.X. Approval to Name the Piano Lab at Lincoln Elementary Performing Arts School the Tim King Piano Lab
Rationale

Tim King has more than 30 years of experience in performing arts administration, management, operations, education, marketing, and fund-raising. He established an excellent working relationship with many major local and regional corporations, foundations, and Metro and State governments. He has demonstrated ability to motivate personnel to maximum productivity and control costs through the most effective uses of staff and available resources.

King was the magnet coordinator at Lincoln Elementary Performing Arts School from 2009–2011 before he retired. He is responsible for the creation of the elementary performing arts program including the construction and completion of the 40,000 square foot Arts Wing.

King's efforts in raising $20,000 in funds from the community created a state-of-the art piano lab at Lincoln Elementary Performing Arts School that rivals any major high school or university.

King is a pianist, singer, and part of several orchestras around the region. He understands the importance of arts education early in life and the importance of the right equipment to engage learners and strengthen a child's skills. His vision extends beyond his years of service and we are fortunate that his passion of the arts is being passed down from generation to generation at Lincoln.

Therefore, in accordance with Board of Education Policy FF Naming Facilities and related procedures, it is appropriate that the piano lab at Lincoln Performing Arts School be named the Tim King Piano Lab.

Donations from the arts community will pay for signage.
