The theme for the contests was Making Lives Matter-- “Our lives begin to end the day we become silent about things that matter.” The students were asked to creatively express how to realize the dream of making lives matter in their own life and in the lives of others. Students were encouraged to reflect upon Dr. King’s legacy of service to explore innovative approaches to positive social change to write and create their best work.

In recognition of the students’ outstanding achievement, their school will receive a $20,000 grant, and the students will work with experts from the MIT Media Lab to bring their design concept to reality.

The competition provides an opportunity for middle and high school students, working with a faculty advisor, to apply their science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) knowledge, skills, and creativity to develop an original mobile app concept that incorporates the use of STEM and addresses a need or problem in their school or community.

• SUPERINTENDENT REPORT 02 23 16
• SUPERINTENDENT REPORT - POWERPOINT - 02 23 16

At the January 12, 2015, meeting of the Jefferson County Board of Education, Board Chair David A. Jones, Jr. set forth a plan to organize the work of the Board for the coming year, including the formation of three time-limited, project-based teams to “dive deeper into some of the key issues and create deeper board understanding about the critical strategic drivers of progress.” The teams that arose from that new framework were the Strategy Work Group, the Technology and Performance Work Group, and the Finance Work Group.

Board Policy 01.11 establishes as a responsibility of the Board, “to examine and approve the annual budget.” In order to fulfill that responsibility and be effective stewards of public funds, Board members need to have a strong understanding of the key parameters for district revenue and expenditures, the budget development process, and the use of the budget as a policy tool to improve outcomes for students. The Finance Work Group supports making the entire Board more informed regarding these critical issues.

The initial charge of the Finance Work Group was to determine “what data does the Board need and in what form so that we can think about a Vision 2020 and how we're going to fund it?” To drive real change in performance, the district needs to determine effective strategies around key strategic priorities and goals, then reallocate resources in alignment with those priorities and goals, which requires a system of fiscal and data analysis to facilitate informed decision making.

The Finance Work Group worked over the course of the year and presented an update of their work at a Board Work Session on November 9, 2015. The Work Session covered key points of financial and strategy focus:

• Strategy Development
• Initiative Development and Continuous Improvement
• Budget & Financing Development
• Governance & Accountability

As JCPS moves into the budget development process for the fiscal year 2016-17, in the context of recently adopted Vision 2020: Excellence with Equity, continuation of the Finance Work Group has been deemed a positive way for the Board to support the significant transition being undertaken regarding the way the district makes funding decisions. The work group will make provision for community and expert involvement, and be supported by District management and staff, as appropriate.  The work group will report to the full Board by August 2016.

In 2008, the Kentucky Department of Education (KDE) increased the no-fault insurance limits for all districts from the state mandated $10,000 to $20,000. This increased the no-fault insurance exposure of a bus from $660,000 to $1,320,000 and is a cost driver in the auto insurance program.

Jefferson County has been recognized as a national example of no-fault fraud. KDE guidelines provide for waivers of this requirement by districts upon request. JCPS believes the state mandated $10,000 is adequate to address basic claims presented to JCPS and enable claims for amounts greater than $10,000 to be examined for validity.

A request for variance to help lower JCPS operating costs was approved by the Board on May 26, 2015, and KDE granted the waiver. All of the reasons for the original waiver request are still valid and JCPS would like an ongoing waiver to eliminate asking KDE to consider this same request each year. If JCPS decides to raise the Personal Injury Protection (PIP) limit in the future, they could do so by competitive bid. Until that time, we would like to continue to operate with $10,000 PIP.
