III.A. Recognition of duPont Manual High School Senior Allison Tu for Being Named a U.S. Presidential Scholar and for Being Named One of America’s Top Ten Youth Volunteers by the Prudential Spirit of Community Awards
Rationale

Allison Tu, a senior at duPont Manual High School, was recently named one of America’s top ten youth volunteers by The Prudential Spirit of Community Awards, a nationwide program honoring young people for outstanding acts of community service.

She earned the award for a youth-driven initiative she launched to raise awareness about student mental health issues and find ways to combat the high rates of depression, anxiety, and suicide among young people in Kentucky. 

Allison launched the organization called "StAMINA" (Student Alliance for Mental Health Innovation and Action); sought support from student leaders throughout Kentucky as well as key adults in government, healthcare, and education; and obtained more than $100,000 in grants to fund her initiative.

America’s top ten youth volunteers were selected from a field of more than 29,000 middle and high school youth volunteers nationwide, and then from 102 state honorees, based on their initiative, effort, impact, and the personal growth demonstrated in the course of their volunteer service.

The national honorees each receive $5,000 personal awards, engraved gold medallions, crystal trophies for their schools, and $5,000 grants from The Prudential Foundation for charities of their choice.

Allison was also recently named a 2019 U.S. Presidential Scholar by U.S. Secretary of Education Betsy DeVos. 

She is one of 161 outstanding American high school seniors who have demonstrated outstanding academic achievement, artistic excellence, technical expertise, leadership, citizenship, service, and contribution to school and community. The U.S. Presidential Scholars will be honored for their accomplishments in Washington D.C., from June 23-25.

Graduating seniors with a cumulative 2.5 GPA and demonstrating financial need were eligible to apply for a scholarship through the Community Foundation of Louisville. A total of 116 applicants were matched through the foundation and then reviewed by a committee.

Finalists were named and then interviewed by Pollio and three other members of his administrative staff the week of May 13. The recipients were notified on May 24.

X.R.9. Recommendation for Approval of Memorandum of Agreement with Massey Counseling Services, LLC for Behavior and Mental Health Services
Rationale

The following contractor will provide on-site behavioral and mental health services to JCPS students:

  • Massey Counseling Services, LLC

The goal of these services is to help students develop critical thinking skills, self-regulation, and empathy. Services to be included are individual and group counseling.

Schools will be provided a list of providers that accept both Medicaid and private insurance that have obtained MOAs prior to the first day of school. The principal will determine which services to bring into their school based on the needs of the students they serve.

The MOA process was developed because community providers are already in our schools and schools have requested guidance on who should and who should not be allowed into the schools. The vetting process looks at licensure, insurance, and background checks for providers.

No costs will be incurred by JCPS or JCPS student, parent, or legal guardian for services rendered. The agency will only bill for the cost of services to the private or public health insurance company after parent or legal guardian gives written permission to do so.

The Memorandum of Agreement shall be effective beginning June 12, 2019, and ending on December 31, 2019.

This agreement supports Vision 2020 strategy 1.1.1.

X.R.10. Recommendation for Approval of a Memorandum of Agreement with Metro United Way
Rationale

This Memorandum of Agreement will provide JCPS with 273 end-user licenses for use by JCPS staff for the Unite US data system, a robust online referral system, so that JCPS students in need can be quickly and efficiently connected to services that affect students’ ability to learn and thrive. School-level staff will be able to link students to services much faster using this technology, saving significant time and improving service to students and families.

The total cost to the District for 2019-20 is $200,000 and includes related training and support. A data sharing agreement with Unite US that includes strong privacy and data breach protections will be in place prior to the deployment of the license and use of the technology.

On October 30, 2018, the Board approved a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) expressing the commitment of the District to work with a broad coalition of community partners to implement a shared technology platform to help the Louisville community address the social determinants of health by linking education, health, and social services in one interconnected system. 

The creation and implementation of the technology platform to share data among doctors’ offices, hospitals, schools, and social service organizations at multiple touchpoints, will streamline access, navigation, and coordination of available resources. This “no wrong door” solution ensures those who need support are quickly referred and served, which will be a dramatic improvement over current care referral in Louisville.

This technology platform will be a critical tool in the successful implementation of the Evolve 502 (formerly Louisville Promise) initiative and will include a robust online referral system so that JCPS students in need can be quickly and efficiently connected to services that affect students’ ability to learn and thrive. It is expected that school-level staff will be able to link students to services much faster using this technology, saving significant time and improving service to students and families.

Morehead State is a Partner Postsecondary Institution with the Kentucky Higher Education Assistance Authority who manages the scholarship.

Dual Credit personnel from Morehead State University have worked with the principal, administrators, and teachers at Eastern, Central, and Ballard High Schools to identify teachers with the necessary credentials to offer dual credit for students scheduled in those courses. This agreement continues the current arrangements. These dual credit courses can be transferred to any regionally accredited college or university for credit.

The agreement details the courses and teachers eligible for dual credit. Juniors and seniors scheduled in the high school courses listed may participate in dual credit if they meet the qualifications for the course. Specifically:

  • Scholarship funds may be used for dual credit unless the student has exceeded two courses or state funds are exhausted. In that case, Morehead State will award the student a scholarship to cover tuition.

  • Tuition is set to 1/3 KCTCS tuition (as required by the PPI agreement with the KHEAA).

  • Morehead State will not charge the school or district tuition for unsuccessful students.

Ballard courses include:

  • ART 109 Digital Foundations (3 credit-hours of General Education/Humanities)

  • CIS 101 Intro to Computers (3 college credit-hours)

  • ENG 100 Writing I (3 credit-hours of General Education/Written Communication)

  • ENG 200 Writing II (3 credit-hours of General Education/Written Communication)

  • POLS Intro to Politics (3 credit-hours of General Education/Social Sciences)

Central courses include:

  • AGR 143 Anatomy and Physiology of Livestock (2 credit-hours/Pre-Vet CTE Pathway)

Eastern courses include:

  • MATH 152 College Algebra (3 credit-hours of General Education/Quantitative Reasoning)

  • MUSH 261 Global Music Experience (3 credit-hours, General Education/Humanities)

  • SPA 101 Spanish I (3 credit-hours, Fall)

  • SPA 101 Spanish II (3 credit-hours, Spring)

This program directly supports Vision 2020 strategies 1.1.3 (equitable access) and 1.1.7 (elimination of opportunity gaps) by providing expanded options for advanced learning.

X.R.13. Recommendation for Approval of Agreement with Norton Healthcare, Inc. to Implement a Telemedicine Program in Three JCPS Schools
Rationale

In partnership with Norton Healthcare, Inc. a telemedicine program will be implemented at Engelhard Elementary School, Frederick Law Olmsted Academy North, and Iroquois High School to improve children's access to healthcare and keep student in the classroom learning. Norton eCare providers will be available to remotely see a child for their non-urgent health issues. This program will help reduce the percentage of children who are chronically absent and decrease health disparities by ensuring children are supported by managing acute illnesses and chronic conditions. 

Due to the late start this school year, the program will continue in these three schools allowing the opportunity to evaluate utilization and overall impact, to determine an approach for expansion of the program and services to be offered ongoing in additional JCPS schools in areas where students do not have regular access to healthcare. Parental consent for program participation is obtained prior to visits and parents are invited to attend virtual visits. Nursing staff is present for examinations. 

Norton Healthcare, Inc. has secured grant funding for the 2019-20 school year and the District is not providing matching funds for this project, there is no cost to JCPS. The agreement is effective from August 14, 2019, to June 11, 2020.

X.S. Recommendation for Approval of Shortened School Day for One Exceptional Child Education Student
Rationale

The Kentucky Administrative Regulations, as outlined in the Exceptional Child Education Policies and Procedures Manual, requires that a shortened school day and/or week be submitted to the Board of Education for approval. 

This Board action is subject to confidentiality requirements according to policies and procedures in Chapter 9 Confidentiality of Information. Following approval by the Board of Education, the request will be submitted to the Kentucky Department of Education, Division of Learning Services. 

The District must maintain the following documentation for all shortened school days and/or weeks approved by the Local Board of Education:

  • approval by the Local Board of Education (student confidentiality procedures must be followed when listing student information in the local Board minutes);
  • minutes of the Admissions and Release Committee (ARC) meeting documenting the ARC decision that a shortened school day and/or week is needed;
  • a copy of the student's Individual Education Plan documenting the shortened day and/or week; and
  • a copy of the physician's statement of the medical need.

Per regulations, the student is being identified as SSD246 rather than by name. Student SSD246 has a medical condition, with proper physician documentation, which requires a 2 hour school day, five days a week.  The ARC will gradually increase the student's time per the school per the Health/Medical statement that was provided. Appropriate ECE procedures have been followed for this student, who is being served in a special school setting.

X.X. Recommendation for Approval of Board Policy 04.32 Purchasing (Second Reading)
Rationale

The Finance Division and the Diversity, Equity, and Poverty Division have been working over the past year to develop a Board policy to increase the procurement of goods and services by the District from minority, women, and veteran business enterprises (M/W/VBE). Numerous cross-Division working meetings led to this draft policy, which has been subsequently reviewed by General Counsel, the Board Policy Committee, and the Kentucky School Boards Association.

This revised policy establishes broad goals for M/V/VBE participation; outlines a process for setting annual goals; sets forth the roles and responsibilities of District leadership and administration in implementing this policy; requires a good faith effort of bidders to meets the District’s M/W/VBE goals; requires documentation, reporting and evaluation; and requires the development/revision of District purchasing procedures to implement this policy.

The policy requires that the policy and procedures, and their implementation, must be in accordance with the Kentucky Model Procurement Code, related administrative regulations, and other pertinent state and federal laws governing purchasing by school districts.

The new language has been incorporated into an existing policy, 04.32 Purchasing, at the recommendation of the Kentucky School Boards Association.

Based on the elimination of the position of Coordinator Minority Enterprise through Board action on April 16, 2019, references to that position have been removed from the final version of the policy.

X.Y. Recommendation for Approval of 2019-20 Salary Schedules and Salary Placement Rules
Rationale

The attached documents are recommended for approval to establish the District's salary schedules for the 2019-20 school year and pertain to all bargaining units and all employees.

Salary schedules reflect a 0.5 percent increase except for central office administrators grade 8 and above. School-based administrators will receive a one-time 0.5 percent payment. The one-time payment to school-based administrators will be paid in November 2019 for any school-based administrator, grade 8 and above, who is active as of October 1, 2019. This payment will be 0.5 percent of their annual salary as of October 1st. In addition, the certified administrative index will be adjusted down to account for the 0.5 percent being added to the teachers' salary schedule from which all certified administrators' salaries are calculated. Central office certified and classified administrators, grade 8 and above, will be frozen and will not receive the one-time 0.5 percent payment. Salary placement rules have also been updated.

X.Z. Recommendation for Approval of Job Descriptions and Organizational Charts
Rationale

At the May 14, 2019, meeting, the Board approved major and substantive changes to organizational charts and job descriptions as part of the District’s effort to create organizational coherence across Divisions. At that time, the Board was told that additional minor and technical changes would be submitted separately at a later date, in order to make the review and consideration of the major changes on May 14 more easily understood.

District staff has conducted a comprehensive review of all job descriptions for the District and are submitting the first half for review and approval. The second half will be submitted at the June 25 Board meeting. While the number of resulting recommended changes are many, each change, in and of itself, is small.

None of the job descriptions being submitted at this meeting have an impact on the status of current employees. The revised job descriptions have no changes to salary grade or annual number of days for current employees.

Job descriptions have been edited for language, format, and standardization of job titles across the District, and have been updated to ensure that the job descriptions are not using obsolete language. The organizational charts are provided primarily as a reference to assist in the review of job descriptions, as well as a few non-substantive, technical corrections to ensure that the organizational charts reflect the current status of the organization.

Having a comprehensive, up-to-date, standardized set of job descriptions will improve the efficiency of the Human Resources Division, as part of the larger project to significantly increase its capacity to attract, develop, and retain a highly qualified, diverse, and engaged workforce. It will also offer clarity and consistency to current and prospective employees.

In addition, one time-sensitive new job description is included, Coordinator 21st Century Community Learning Center. These are grant-funded positions in four schools for 2019-20 which need to be posted as soon as possible in order to have the positions filled by the beginning of the 2019-20 school year.

X.AA. Revise, Adopt, and Repeal Board Policies to Update and Convert them from the Letter Classification System to the Number Classification System (First Reading)
Rationale

The JCPS Final Corrective Action Plan with the Kentucky Department of Education includes the following recommendation:

“D1. Partner with KSBA to align and standardize policies and procedures.”

As part of implementation of that recommendation, KSBA has determined that JCPS has several Board policies that need to be incorporated into the numeric policy classification system from the previously used letter classification system. They also determined that the District was missing several policies the KSBA recommends for districts across the state.

During the process of classification system conversion, JCPS staff reviewed each policy and made changes as needed. The revisions incorporate language from the original policies, KSBA model language, recommendations from the Kentucky Department of Education and JCPS staff, as well as changes recommend by the Board Policy Committee, which reviewed the policies at its meeting on May 20, 2019.

X.BB. Recommendation for Approval of Board Policy 02.14 Evaluation of the Superintendent (Second Reading)
Rationale

This policy was received for first reading on May 14, 2019.

KRS 156.557 requires that a superintendent shall be evaluated annually according to a policy and procedures developed and adopted by a local board of education and approved by the Kentucky Department of Education (KDE).

On April 16, 2019, the Board adopted the Kentucky School Boards Association (KSBA) Superintendent Evaluation Process, which is a modified version of the KDE Superintendent Professional Growth and Effectiveness System (SPGES) and is focused on evidence and performance expectations using research-based effectiveness standards and district goals agreed upon by the Board members and the Superintendent.

The proposed amendment to Board Policy 02.14 adjusts language to align more closely with the evaluation process outlined in the KSBA Superintendent Process adopted by the Board.

X.CC. Adoption of Board Policy 09.1221 Shortened School Day and/or Week (First Reading)
Rationale

The JCPS Final Corrective Action Plan with the Kentucky Department of Education (KDE) includes the following recommendation:

“D1. Partner with KSBA to align and standardize policies and procedures.”

As part of implementation of that recommendation, KSBA determined that JCPS had not formally adopted a Board policy relating to providing a shortened school day to students under certain very limited circumstances. Thus, the Board needs to adopt this policy to align Board Policy with state requirements.

The Final Corrective Action Plan requires the District to “establish and implement a process to ensure all Board policies and procedures regarding Special Education are sent to the Commissioner for review if change will impact the final CAP.” In compliance with that requirement, this policy was submitted to KDE for review and guidance.

During that review process, KDE provided clarification regarding the process that is required for Board approval of a shortened school day and/or week. The language incorporated in this Board policy was developed with input from staff of the KDE Office of Special Education and Early Learning with input from the KDE General Counsel.
