Action Items
VII.A.
Approval of Memorandum of Agreement with Bellarmine University for JCPS-Bellarmine Literacy Project Year Three and Approval of Professional Services Contract for Dr. Theresa Magpuri-Lavell
The JCPS-Bellarmine Literacy Project will target approximately 60 high-need elementary schools, selected by data analysis and commitment of principals, SBDM and teachers, to provide intentional professional development to teachers and principals in an effort to build teacher capacity and improve literacy instruction in the classroom. An anticipated list of participating schools is attached.
All teachers and principals participating in the project will engage in ongoing coursework offered by Bellarmine University. Teachers will learn key literacy strategies that, when implemented with fidelity, will improve student literacy outcomes. Teachers who have participated in the first round of coursework in the Bellarmine Literacy Project will be invited to participate in advanced coursework during a second year as they expand their expertise in research-based literacy strategies.
The project will serve up to 650 teachers during the 2016-17 school year and will directly support an integral strategy in our delivery planning called the Third-Grade Pledge to Proficiency in an effort to ensure all students are reading on grade level at the end of third grade.
In addition, JCPS is contracting with Bellarmine University on a Professional Services Contract for Dr. Theresa Magpuri-Lavell to serve as a Scholar in Residence to support all aspects of the JCPS-Bellarmine Literacy Project. For the past two years Dr. Magpuri-Lavell has served as the project manager at Bellarmine University to support the Bellarmine Literacy Project. This contract will ensure her full time support and focus on the JCPS-Bellarmine Literacy Project and will also ensure her presence and onsite expertise to collaborate closely with JCPS staff and administrators to ensure fidelity of implementation and success of the project.
The district's participation in this project will be instrumental in building teacher capacity in literacy education in many of our lowest performing elementary schools.

Approval of Proposed Revisions to the Traditional School Guidelines
The proposed revisions to the Traditional School Guidelines were developed by Traditional School Principals in collaboration with the JCPS Magnet Steering Committee. Previous guidelines were last revised in 1998. Key updates include clarifications in language on student selection, curriculum and standards, student promotion in grades 9-12, and graduation requirements as well as allowances for students to attend the resides traditional program at a new family address.
The practice of exiting students has not yet been addressed but will be addressed by the Magnet Steering Committee at a later date. This will allow the Magnet Steering Committee to address the practice of exiting students at all Magnet Schools rather than just Traditional Schools because it impacts all magnet schools. Thus, the section in the Traditional School Guidelines describing school initiated student reassignment will remain the same until the Magnet Steering Committee completes additional work.
The Magnet Steering Committee came to consensus on revisions, and presented revised guidelines to the Board on May 24, 2016.
