X.O.5. Acceptance of Grants from WHAS Crusade for Children to Support Exceptional Child Education Programs
Rationale

The WHAS Crusade for Children has awarded the District seven grants totaling $223,000. The grants will help children overcome physical, mental, emotional, and medical challenges by providing assistive technology, software, curriculum, and other tools that help them break through barriers to learning, participate more fully in the classroom setting, and succeed at school. Each grant supports individual needs of Exceptional Child Education (ECE) students, allows for more personalized learning, and helps eliminate achievement, learning, and opportunity gaps. WHAS Crusade for Children awarded funding to the following ten ECE areas: Assistive Technology, Audiology and Deaf/Hard of Hearing, Autism, Communication Disorders, Moderate and Severe Disabilities, Psychological Services, and Visually Impaired.

The District is not required to commit to matching funds to these projects and has no obligation beyond the end date of the grant period.

These grants support strategy 1.1.7 in Vision 2020.

X.P. Recommendation for Approval of Agreements
X.P.1. Recommendation for Approval of 2022-2023 Affiliate Partner Agreement with the Alliance for Young Artists & Writers, Inc.
Rationale

Approval of the 2022-2023 Affiliate Partner Agreement with the Alliance for Young Artists & Writers, Inc. will expand opportunities for students in grades 7-12 visual arts programs.  The Scholastic Art Awards program directly impacts students’ college/career readiness.  The program is aligned with curriculum standards that support visual arts program goals, college/career portfolio preparation, and enrichment opportunities.  Data since 2007 shows that: 1) student participation increased by as much as 186 percent, 2) national student awards have increased by as much as 127 percent, and 3) an average of $2 million in scholarship offers have been made to student participants each year.

Costs associated with this program are split between JCPS and the Fund for the Arts.  The Fund for the Arts covers all student entry fees for participating non-JCPS students.  JCPS student participation fees, national program costs (e.g., website maintenance, certificates, marketing materials, program support, etc.), plus print (e.g., programs, posters, labels, certificates, etc.) and postage/mailing costs are paid from the Curriculum Design & Learning Innovation department fiscal budget.  The Alliance is increasing the student entry fees for 2022-2023: from $7.00 to $10.00 for individual artwork submissions and from $25.00 to $30.00 for senior art portfolio submissions. The budget estimate for the 2022-2023 program is $8,000 for JCPS students and $4,000 for non-JCPS student participation.

This agreement directly supports strategies 1.1.3 Provide Equitable Access, 1.1.1 Adopt a Broader Definition of Learning, and 1.1.2 Personalize Learning in Vision 2020.

X.P.2. Recommendation for Approval of Second Amendment to Memorandum of Agreement with Arizona State University for Verizon Innovative Learning Schools
Rationale

Arizona State University (ASU) is responsible for curriculum development and program implementation for Verizon Innovative Learning Schools. ASU develops, facilitates, and manages the elective curriculum, curriculum technology, professional learning, program implementation, and program measurement.

ASU will work with Frederick Law Olmsted Academy North (OAN) to implement the curriculum and program in their innovation lab created by Hearts of America through support from Verizon. ASU will provide at no cost to the District or school, technology, curriculum, professional learning, and support OAN teachers.

The objective of this addendum is to outline the timelines by which the parties will implement the Verizon Innovation Labs Program at OAN during the 2022-2023 school year. The additional year of full programmatic implementation will aid in transitioning the school to independent implementation after the term of this agreement. 

This project aligns with Vision 2020 strategy 1.1.7.

The project does not obligate the District after the agreement period ends.

X.P.3. Recommendation for Approval of Memorandum of Agreement with Campbellsville University for Dual Credit
Rationale

Dual Credit personnel from Campbellsville University have worked with the high school staff to identify teachers with the necessary credentials to offer dual credit for students scheduled in those courses. This agreement also allows students to take qualifying college courses on Campbellsville’s Louisville campus or online for dual credit if courses or faculty are not available at the school level. The agreement aligns with the Dual Credit Scholarship Program. These dual credit courses can be transferred to any regionally accredited college or university for credit. Campbellsville University is a Partner Postsecondary Institution with Kentucky Higher Education Assistance Authority (KHEAA) for that program. There is no budget implication for the District.

Specifically:

  • Scholarship funds may be used for dual credit unless the student has exceeded course limitations in the state regulation or state funds are exhausted. In that case, the student/family is responsible for paying tuition. Tuition is set to 50% of Kentucky Community & Technical College System (KCTCS) tuition (as required by the PPI agreement with the KHEAA). Campbellsville University will not charge JCPS for reimbursement of unsuccessful student tuition when the course is taken on a JCPS campus with JCPS faculty.

X.Q. Recommendation for Approval of Establishing a JCPS Seal of Arts Excellence Diploma
Rationale

The JCPS Seal of Arts Excellence is a diploma seal to recognize high school graduates who demonstrate an advanced level of specialization in a visual and performing arts area of interest, as determined by the Kentucky Academic Standards (KAS) for the Visual and Performing Arts.

Per the Kentucky Department of Education and their Kentucky Guidelines for Establishing a Local Seal of Arts Excellence document, local school districts must establish the criteria for student eligibility in earning the Seal. The criteria for awarding a JCPS Seal of Arts Excellence are attached. A JCPS Seal of Arts Excellence honors dance, music, theatre, and visual arts students who complete a Visual & Performing Arts program that best prepares them for post-secondary college and career opportunities. Students who take four years of Arts courses average almost 100 points higher on their SAT scores than students who take only one semester or less. Low-income students who are highly engaged in the Arts are twice as likely to graduate college as their peers with no arts education. 63 percent of Visual & Performing artists hold a bachelor's degree or higher. 72 percent of business leaders say that creativity is the number one skill they are seeking when hiring

High school seniors who attain the JCPS Seal of Arts Excellence will be recognized in several ways:

  • Indication of a State Seal on transcript/e-transcript;
  • Special seal on the diploma;
  • A graduation cord, sash, medal, or pin.
  • Additionally, schools may recognize the students through a Senior Night award/certificate and/or verbal or written recognition in the graduation program or ceremony. 

The Seal affirms JCPS’ commitment and support for our students whose passion and future are in the Arts. This project directly supports Vision 2020 strategy 2.1.2 Cultivate A Growth Mindset.

X.R. Recommendation for Approval to Request a Waiver from the Kentucky Board of Education Regarding the Building Site for the Construction of the New Facility for the W.E.B. DuBois Academy
Rationale

The W.E.B. DuBois Academy opened in the Fall of 2018 as an A5 program with programming to support male students of color in grades 6-8, offering a culturally responsive and Afro-Centric academic environment. In 2020, the Board approved plans for DuBois Academy to expand to serve grades 6-12. Enrollment has been increasing by 150 students each year, as one grade is added. This will lead to a total projected 6-12 enrollment of 1,050. 

As DuBois has expanded, it has been necessary to relocate the program to accommodate the growth of its student body; during the 2022-23 school year, the DuBois Academy will be in its third location in five years. The W.E.B. DuBois Academy is in need of a permanent new home, a state-of-the-art facility that is the appropriate size.

KRS 156.160(2) allows the Kentucky Board of Education to grant waivers to regulations when an appropriate justification is submitted in writing by a superintendent at the request of a local board of education.

702 KAR 4:050 Section 3(1) requires a middle or high school have a minimum of “ten (10) acres plus an additional acre for each 100 or fraction of 100 students of anticipated enrollment.”

The anticipated enrollment for the new building for W.E.B. DuBois Academy will be 1,050 students; therefore, this regulation would require 21 acres. 

The proposed site at 4401 Bishop Lane is 6.47 acres. While the proposed site is smaller than the size established in regulation, similarly-sized smaller sites are not uncommon - there are currently seven District middle and high schools on sites of 7 acres or less.

The features of this particular site make it well-suited to be the location of a new middle/high school. The property is already owned by the District and has served as an auxiliary parking lot for the VanHoose Education Center (directly adjacent to this property). The site is relatively flat and can be fully developed. Delivery areas, staff and visitor parking, and separate bus and car lanes can be accommodated on site. Additional parking can be accommodated at the adjacent VanHoose Education Center.

Moreover, because the Facility Condition of the VanHoose Education Center is significantly low, and because consolidating the Central Office in a single location will significantly improve efficiency, the District plans to identify a new location for a combined Central Office Facility, vacating the current buildings at 3332 Newburg Road (adjacent to the 4401 Bishop Lane site). 

Relocating the central office staff and services would make the 7.76 acres at the 3332 Newburg site available for expansion of the W.E.B. Dubois Academy campus, providing adequate space for an outdoor athletic facility and additional parking to serve the needs of the school. These combined sites would equate to 14.2 acres for a 6-12 campus.

Recommended Motion

Superintendent Martin Pollio recommends the Board of Education grant approval to request a waiver from the Kentucky Board of Education regarding the minimum site size for the construction of a new facility for the W.E.B. DuBois Academy.
