The Minor Daniels Scholarship Fund seeks to make college more accessible for students who might not otherwise have a path to earning their degree. The scholarship honors Minor Daniels, a former JCPS teacher and administrator and the namesake of Minor Daniels Academy, an alternative school in JCPS for sixth-12th graders. The award, however, is open to students from across the District.

The scholarships, which total $29,000, come from the employee-funded JCPS Gives campaign, and range from $1,000 to $3,000 each. Preference is given to students of color; students majoring in medical or education fields; students on free/reduced lunch; and first-generation college students.

Students earning the 2022 scholarships include:

Caitlyn Bowman, Louisville Male High School

Maryah Brown, Central High School

Rodrionna Burns, Central High School

Joce Bunzy, Pleasure Ridge Park High School

Aditya Gollamudi, a junior at duPont Manual High School, recently developed and launched free, online computer science lessons for adults. The goal for his initiative, called Path2Programming, is to help people, particularly those in Eastern and Western Kentucky who have been impacted by the decline in the coal industry, learn to code, develop websites, and master other computer skills so they can start new and lucrative careers.

The initiative is more than just a pet project for Aditya. He has invested hundreds of hours getting his program up and running, bought Facebook ads to promote the free curriculum, networked with non-profit organizations throughout the regions to connect with individuals who could benefit from the courses, and reached out to businesses that may need new employees in the computer science field. And he’s doing all this for free. 

He said he wants to share his knowledge with people who could benefit from his insight. “I really want to bring free resources to people who don’t have as much as I do,” he said.

Superintendent Martin Pollio recommends the Board of Education recognize Aditya Gollamudi for his ingenuity and selflessness in creating Path2Programming.

Fischer Wells, a 7th grader at Westport Middle School, testified earlier this year before a Kentucky Senate committee in opposition to Senate Bill 83, which would ban transgender girls from participating in girls' sports.

Superintendent Martin Pollio recommends the Board of Education recognize Fischer Wells for her courage, strength, and poise in participating in the civic and democratic process.

The District student assignment plan is in need of a comprehensive, coordinated reimagining and restructuring to improve equity, access, and choice for all students, to make it easier for families to understand, to create mechanisms to address school diversity, and to ensure adequate funding aligned with student needs. The JCPS student assignment plan has not undergone a comprehensive review with significant changes for almost forty years. The changes that have been made during that period have been largely ad hoc in nature and disconnected from the overall purpose of the plan, creating a system that is fragmented, is unduly complex, and that exacerbates racial inequities for Black and Brown students.

A cross-divisional leadership team, with invaluable input from the Student Assignment Review Advisory Committee (SARAC), and with significant technical support from nationally recognized experts, have been working over the three years to develop recommendations for a new Plan. Through that process, they conducted a thorough review of the current District student assignment plan, and developed recommendations for significant, comprehensive, and coordinated changes for Board consideration. This effort has included an analysis of the implications of the student assignment plan for racial equity in the District, and has relied upon input from stakeholders, community members, students, critical friends, and families, throughout the process.

The proposed student assignment plan was developed based on five Guiding Principles: Equity; Access; Ease of Understanding; Diversity; and Choice.

Broadly, there are three main components to the proposal:

• Dual Resides and Feeder Patterns - How students are assigned to schools based on their home address.
• Choice Zone Support Plan - How the District will provide support to high-need schools to ensure all students get the support they need to succeed and thrive.
• Magnet Schools and Programs – How the District will expand choices aligned to student interest and create exciting, engaging learning communities to serve a diverse set of students.

This Information Session will address the first two components of the proposal: Dual Resides and Feeders Patterns, and the Choice Zone Support Plan. Magnet Schools and Programs will be discussed by the Board at a future date, allowing sufficient time for each element of the proposal to be discussed in depth.

Dual Resides and Feeder Patterns

Under the current system, middle and high school students living in West Louisville are assigned to schools far from home. Moreover, there are more than 90 different feeder patterns from the elementary to middle to high school levels. The system is a disconnected patchwork that lacks consistency and is confusing for families. The current structure negatively impacts attendance, student sense of belonging, access to after school activities, opportunity to stay with peers from grade-to-grade, and family engagement. All of these things have an impact on student learning and success

The proposed student assignment plan increases fairness and equity for all students and families. It gives all students in a designated Choice Zone - in West and parts of Central Louisville - the option to attend a school closer to home (an option all other JCPS students already have) or to attend a school farther from home, if the family chooses.

The plan significantly reduces the number and simplifies the structure of feeder patterns – elementary to middle to high schools. This will give families much greater predictability about the schools their children will attend from kindergarten through high school.

Each elementary school will feed into only one or two middle schools, which in turn will feed into one high school. That said, families will retain significant choice options through magnet schools and programs, the transfer process, and the career pathway networks for high schools. Students who are happy with their current school will be allowed to remain there as the District transitions into the new system.

Choice Zone Support Plan

Over the last several years, the Board has moved toward a school funding plan based on student needs rather than a one-size-fits all schools formula. Students living in poverty, students who have experienced trauma, students who are homeless, students who have disabilities, and students who are English learners all have needs that must be addressed for a school to be successful in supporting their learning. Adequate investment in schools with a high percentage of students with significant needs is a fundamental component of creating an effective and equitable school system.

The Choice Zone Support Plan takes that broad commitment to equitable funding and provides a significant degree of specificity regarding the type and amount of investment that will be provided.

The District will establish robust monitoring and accountability mechanisms to ensure that all the aspects of the implementation of the new student assignment are carried out, and to develop accountability measures against which the plan can be evaluated. The continuous improvement plan calls for a project manager to serve as a liaison between schools, central office, and the community. The project manager will ensure that critical timelines are met, and that stakeholder groups are actively engaged to review progress and gather feedback.

The evaluation process, which will inform efforts for continuous improvement, will include formative evaluations and more formal summative evaluations by internal staff and an external entity. Results of the evaluation will be shared with the Board and the public on a regular basis, and be the basis for changes.

The rationale for community based counseling services to provide behavioral and mental health supports in school is for continuity of services between home and school. Community partners are able to provide the wrap-around support for our families and consult with school staff to solve student's school related concerns. The following contractor is recommended for approval from the Board of Education:

• Sims Counseling & Consulting, 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 upon the needs of the students they serve.

The MOA process was developed to ensure community providers given access to students on school property had proper licensure, insurance and background checks as mandated by KRS 160.380 and that the community provider fills a need for schools.

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 Agreements shall be effective beginning April 13, 2022 and ending on December 31, 2022.

This agreement supports Vision 2020 strategy 1.1.1.
