XI.R.2. Acceptance of Grant from Cabinet for Health and Family Services for District Family Resource and Youth Services Centers
Rationale

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 2017-18 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.

This is a one-year allocation that begins on July 1, 2018. 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.

XI.S.4. Recommendation for Approval of Memorandum of Agreement with the University of Louisville
Rationale

This partnership will allow teachers at Fairdale High School to provide important mentoring relationships with preservice teachers in an environment where preservice teachers can learn the challenges and rewards of working in a priority school setting with a focus on increased engagement for student achievement. Additionally, this partnership will support the Global Services Academy at Fairdale High School through a community partner for our Teaching and Learning career pathway. Two of the courses being taught on the Fairdale Campus by UofL will be courses agreed upon for dual credit in the Teaching and Learning Pathway (EDTP 201 and EDTP 215). 

There are no services being provided, more a partnership to support best practices in instruction and mentoring for preservice teachers. The preservice teachers will support Fairdale classrooms through collaborative teaching opportunities and cooperative planning opportunities. Collaborative experiences, such as these, support the recruiting and retention of teachers in a challenging urban district, such as JCPS, and gives new teachers a feeling of preparedness and efficacy that is not found in programs that do not provide these types of hands-on experiences. 

The agreement supports Vision 2020 Focus Areas Learning, Growth, and Development (Goal 1, Strategies 1.1.1 and 1.1.4), as well as focus area Increased Capacity and Improved Culture (Goal 2, Strategies 2.1.1, 2.1.2, 2.1.3) through a partnership between Fairdale High School and the University of Louisville School of Education and Human Development.

There is no cost to either party.
