VI. Superintendent's Report
Attachments
VII. Action Items
VII.A. Say Yes to Education Letter of Commitment
Rationale

JCPS, Louisville Metro, and a wide range of community partners have engaged a process to develop and submit an application for Louisville to become the next Say Yes to Education community. The application requires individual letters of commitment from key community entities and individuals, including from the school district superintendent and the president or chair of the local board of education, representing the commitment of the full board of education.

At a Work Session held on July 26, 2016, the Board heard a presentation from Say Yes to Education Foundation Senior Vice-President Ellen Grant (former Deputy Mayor of Buffalo, New York) and National Program Director Nadia Moore regarding the Say Yes to Education initiative.

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 post-secondary 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 post-secondary education to high school graduates 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. It 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 post-secondary 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 post-secondary institutions are interested in identifying and supporting academically qualified students, including students of color, low-income students, and first-generation college-going students.
