Dual Credit personnel from University of Louisville have worked with the principal, administrators, and teachers at JCPS high schools to identify teachers with the necessary credentials to offer dual credit for students scheduled in those courses. These agreements align with the Dual Credit Scholarship Program as well as the Work Ready Kentucky Scholarship (where applicable). These dual credit courses can be transferred to any regionally accredited college or university for credit.

Specifically:

Scholarship funds may be used for dual credit unless the student has exceeded 2 courses or state funds are exhausted. In that case, the student/family is responsible for paying tuition.

Tuition is set to 2/5 KCTCS tuition (as required by the PPI agreement with the KHEAA) The University of Louisville will not charge JCPS or JCPS students 50% of tuition for unsuccessful scholarship students.

Other Agreements cover specialized dual credit offerings with other colleges within the University of Louisville

As JCPS takes action to meet the professional learning demands and shifts in JCPS instructional and assessment systems aligned with achieving our desired future state and beyond, educators across the district are moving toward more learner-centered experiences that are engaging, equitable, and result in deep learning of standards, success skills, and competencies. This shift requires expertise in Competency Based Education (CBE) theory, as well as practice at the school and district level. Investing in JCPS educators to acquire this specialized expertise and practical experience will empower our district to enact practices and policies at the school and district level conducive to building a competency based education environment.

In alignment with the Climate and Culture Pillar, CBE empowers learners to take part in the learning process and exhibit agency in demonstrating learning. This ownership of learning is empowering for learners; students and teachers alike and contributes to a learner centered, collaborative, and flexible learning environment.

In alignment with the Backpack of Success Skills Pillar, CBE enables learners to have a role in and drive the learning process. This will empower learnings in a CBE environment to have more ownership of demonstrations of learning. Furthermore, this initiative supports the backpack, as this initiative will empower teachers to design instructional pathways and experience around our own success skills, which themselves are competencies. CBE offers a learning context that emphasizes both standards as they relate to success skills. Collaboration, innovative creation, and communication competencies encompass more discreet skills and standards. Educators will be able to group learning outcomes, standards, and skills, within our competencies and design deeper learning experiences empowering learners to access, engage with, receive feedback on, and demonstrate learning of, success skills.

Additionally, approval of these agreements will build the capacity of JCPS educators. Through the rigorous certification process, educators engage in action research; designing professional learning for colleagues, designing competency progressions, and implementing elements of CBE. Certified teachers then lead high leverage professional learning across the district as well as serve on district committees to inform shifts towards CBE, in partnership with the Teaching and Learning department.

Superintendent Martin Pollio recommends the Board of Education receive a report on House Bill 5, Board Notification of Data Security Safeguards.

On March 13, 2018, the Board approved the establishment of the Audit and Risk Management Advisory Committee. Members of the Committee were approved at the June 26, 2018, and October 16, 2018, Board meetings with staggered terms.

The Committee’s charter, which was approved by the Board on June 12, 2018, states that the members of the Committee shall be appointed by the Board, including the Committee’s chairperson and vice-chairperson. Members of the Audit Committee collectively shall possess knowledge in accounting, external auditing, internal auditing, governmental fund accounting, financial reporting, operational risk management, and strategic risk management. At least half of the members shall be residents of the Jefferson County Public School District and at least one member shall be considered a financial expert as determined by the Committee. The recommended terms of committee members shall not exceed three years and shall be staggered to minimize the impact to the Committee from member turnover. Committee members shall generally not be recommended for more than two consecutive terms.

The terms of two members of the Committee expired on June 30, 2021. In accordance with the terms of the charter, the Committee recommends the following individuals to be reappointed with a term expiration of June 30, 2024:

• James Rose
• Rhonda Mitchell

Superintendent Martin Pollio recommends the Board of Education reappoint the following individuals as members of the Audit and Risk Management James Rose and Rhonda Mitchell for terms ending June 30, 2024.

An effective response to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic remains a significant focus as the District plans for the safe and healthy management of schools for the 2021-22 school year. A key concern is that children younger than twelve (12) years old are not yet approved to receive COVID-19 vaccinations. While the District plans to follow the guidelines from the Kentucky Department for Public Health and U.S. Centers for Disease Control as in-person school begins, there will be some families whose circumstances will preclude them from enrolling their children for in-person classes in 2021-22. The District wishes to be able to provide an enrollment option that takes into account the needs of those families.

The District has created the Pathfinder School of Innovation to provide a virtual learning option for any student in grade six (6) through twelve (12). This waiver would permit the District to expand the virtual school option, for the 2021-22 school year only, to serve students from Kindergarten through grade five (5).
