Approval of the 2015-16 Final Board Summative Evaluation of Superintendent Donna Hargens
The Board has adopted the Superintendent Professional Growth & Effectiveness System (SPGES), developed by the Kentucky Department of Education, for use in the evaluation of the Superintendent.

The Superintendent’s 2015-16 evaluation included the following components:
• As permitted by KRS 61.810(1)(k) of the Open Meetings Act and KRS 156.557(6)(c) the Board met in Executive Session on a number of occasions during the course of the year to conduct preliminary discussions regarding the Superintendent’s evaluation, and to provide formative feedback to the Superintendent.
• On June 8, 2016, the Board received an electronic portfolio of evidence responding to SPGES standards.
• On June 14, 2016, the Board met in Executive Session for a preliminary discussion concerning the Superintendent’s 2015-16 Final Summative Evaluation, with the assistance of an external facilitator.

Information Items
VIII.A.
Progress Report on Reducing, Revising, and Refining District Assessments
The Strategic Plan Vision 2020 Excellence with Equity calls for reducing, revising, and refining assessments (strategy 1.1.4) to create a balanced assessment system that is grounded in the broader definition of student learning and mandates fewer and broader assessments.
A team of teachers and administrators worked together to develop the attached 2016-17 District Benchmark Assessment Landscape, which (1) reduces the number of proficiency assessments by 35%, (2) creates 18 opportunities for teacher and school developed assessments through substitution of district proficiency assessments across contents and grade levels, and (3) allows for a pilot where schools and/or teacher teams can submit a proposal to use district assessment items or teacher generated common assessments aligned with standards; thereby allowing more openings for formative, authentic, project-based assessments.
During the 2016-17 school year, teachers and administrators will continue to work collaboratively, with broad stakeholder input, to craft a purpose statement for a district assessment system that is aligned with the strategic plan and will serve as a foundation for further planning and design of a balanced system. We will also explore ways to demonstrate mastery of standards, collect and share exemplars of project-based, authentic assessments, and build teacher capacity in assessment literacy.

Infrastructure Improvement Strategies and Transportation Update
The Jefferson County Public Schools Operation Services Division conducted an extensive analysis of JCPS facilities to promote overall efficiency by maximizing operational services in support of educational opportunities for Pre-K and K-12 students. On March 22, 2016, this analysis was presented to the Board. In subsequent weeks, Board members were individually briefed on the analysis.
This presentation will outline various strategies to address the conclusions of the assessment, as well as a path forward for the next five years.
The Operations Division, Transportation department, and Assistant Superintendents have investigated a change to the Bell Schedule at alternative schools for the 2016-17 year. This change will better meet the needs of at-risk students, include the required instructional time of one thousand sixty-two (1062) hours and enable a cost-effective transportation system.

Say Yes to Education Initiative
Jefferson County Public Schools (JCPS), Louisville Metro, and a wide range of community partners, have embarked on a process to investigate entering into a long-term relationship with the Say Yes to Education Foundation. As the Say Yes to Education website explains, “in partnership with whole cities and counties, Say Yes facilitates a culture of collaboration around the goal of postsecondary completion for all young people. By realigning the civic infrastructure to provide coordinated services and enrichment opportunities district-wide, communities can find renewed hope and sustainably improve outcomes at scale.”
Say Yes to Education’s strategy provides a last-dollar full tuition scholarship for postsecondary education to every single public school graduate in a city. That becomes a powerful incentive for students, families, and community to ensure that every student graduates high school prepared for college and career. This is directly aligned with the JCPS Vision Statement, “All Jefferson County Public Schools students graduate prepared, empowered, and inspired to reach their full potential and contribute as thoughtful, responsible citizens of our diverse, shared world.”
To get students ready for college, the Say Yes to Education strategy provides comprehensive wrap-around services to address the significant barriers to learning that many of our student's face. For example, in Buffalo NY, implementation of the Say Yes to Education framework has led to the establishment of mental health clinics in all schools, and legal clinics in all schools.
The specific initiatives within Say Yes to Education are locally developed through a collaborative governance structure within the community and are paid for using a reallocation of existing local resources from public and private sources. Say Yes to Education provides $15 million over five years to assist communities to build capacity and create a system of supports that is self-sustaining. Specific goals are established against measures of identified milestones along the P-12 continuum, and robust data collection and analysis forms the basis for collective decision making.
In order to pay for scholarships for all high school graduates, our community will need to raise a very large endowment, something on the order of $100 million. The endowment funds will be used for tuition scholarships to public postsecondary institutions. Say Yes to Education also has recruited more than 100 private colleges and universities that will provide, from their own scholarship funds, tuition scholarships for Say Yes to Education Scholars. These postsecondary institutions are interested in identifying and supporting academically qualified students, including students of color, low-income students, and first-generation college-going students.
At its July 26, 2016, meeting, the Board of Education will be asked to approve a letter of commitment to Say Yes to Education to be included in the Louisville/Jefferson County response to the organization’s Request for Proposal.

Acceptance of Grant from Cabinet for Health and Family Services for District Family Resource and Youth Services Centers
The Kentucky Education Reform Act provides for the establishment of Family Resource and Youth Services Centers (FRYSC) in those schools where at least 20 percent of the student body is eligible to receive free school meals. FRYSCs are intended to promote and coordinate the flow of community resources and support families and youths in ways that strengthen their functioning and that enhance the growth and development of the individual members of the family unit.
JCPS operates 96 FRYSCs that provide support to 131 schools. During the 2015-16 school year, FRYSCs provided 900,000 needed interventions and supports to students and their families in efforts to help our most at-risk students overcome non-academic obstacles as they strive to achieve academically at high levels. Each center has a unique blend of programs, referrals and partnerships, all of which depend on location, available services, local need, and community input.
Beginning with the original grants in 1991-92, pairings were determined by the school/community support of the program, principal collaboration, space/location, and/or existing cluster assignments. In order to add additional FRYSCs (create a full time position) the district would submit a request to the state including the cost of the additional coordinator. In recent years the state has denied the request to separate schools/or add additional centers to due to lack of funding. The last new center that was approved for JCPS was during the 2009-2010 school year. Several centers have reorganized as recently as the 2014-2015 school year, however there was no additional funding provided by the state to do this. The student population or building location changing is the factor that prompted the reorganization of the center. This is a one-year allocation that begins on July 1, 2016. Due to a funding shortfall of this grant, the General Fund provides over $1 million dollars in additional support to the FRYSCs.
FRYSCs have established a record of success based on improved student performance in class work, homework, and peer relations as reported by teachers. Parents also report that they experience greater satisfaction and involvement with schools as a result of assistance through their local FRYSC.

Approval of Memorandum of Agreement with Seven Counties Services, Inc.
The attached memorandum of agreement with Seven Counties Services, Inc. details a comprehensive treatment program for the seriously emotionally disturbed students at Waller-Williams Environmental School.
A partnership among education, mental health, and social services agencies offers families and youth an opportunity for effective solutions to the complex problems faced by Waller-Williams students. Intervention with students is likely to elicit better parent involvement, more effective resolution of emotional-behavioral problems through educative-therapeutic collaboration, and to facilitate the student's return to his/her home school more quickly.
This program proposes to increase student success at Waller-Williams through collaboration between teacher and therapist in the classroom; provide therapeutic services to the students and their families; and foster a classroom and school climate that is consistently positive, nurturing, and structured for effective behavior management.
Seven Counties Services, Inc. will provide therapists and service coordinators and JCPS will provide resources to house these Seven Counties staff members in the Waller-Williams facility. Clinical services, based on individual student need, will be provided that may include individual, group, and/or family therapy; crisis management; psychiatrist evaluation for consultation and medication evaluation. Other services, based on individual student need, will be provided and may include: Service coordination, group consultation, psycho-educational instruction, support groups for parents, adjunctive services, and staff in-service and training.
An evaluation of this collaborative effort will be completed with a collection of data on emotional/behavioral change, parent participation, family/service provider satisfaction, and program transitions and changes.
This Agreement shall be effective beginning July 1, 2016, and ending June 30, 2017.
