VI.O. Recommendation for Approval of Shortened School Day for Three Exceptional Child Education Students
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 school day and/or week; and
  • a copy of the physician's statement of the medical need.

Per regulations, the students are being identified as SSD283, SSD284, and SSD285 rather than by name.

Student SSD283 has a medical condition, with proper physician documentation, which requires a 2-hour and 55-minute school day, five days a week.  Appropriate ECE procedures have been followed for this student, who is being served in a resource room in a special school setting.

Student SSD284 has a medical condition, with proper physician documentation, which requires a 3-hour and 30-minute school day, five days a week.  Appropriate ECE procedures have been followed for this student, who is being served in a resource room in a special school setting.

Student SSD285 has a medical condition, with proper physician documentation, which requires a 4-hour and 30-minute school day, five days a week.  Appropriate ECE procedures have been followed for this student, who is being served in a resource room in a special school setting.

VI.P. Recommendation for Approval of 2022-2023 Comprehensive District Improvement Plan
Rationale

The 2022-23 Comprehensive District Improvement Plan (CDIP) consists of the 17 district-level actions identified in Vision 2020 In Action, approved by the Board in July 2018.  The CDIP includes goals and strategies that address the District’s three focus areas of student learning, culture and climate, and organizational coherence.

The components of the CDIP include the: (1) District Assurances, (2) Executive Summary, and (3) Improvement Plan (including support for TSI and CSI schools).

As we transition from one strategic plan to another, a bridge between the two plans is critical in ensuring a stable planning and reporting experience. The attached plan represents our past, present, and future by including strategies from Vision 2020 In Action, state requirements, and the JCPS Future States.

VI.Q. Adoption of Set #10 of Board Policies as Part of the District Policy Review Cycle for (Second Reading)
Rationale

The Board Policy Committee reviewed these policies during its meeting on November 21, 2022.

The Jefferson County Board of Education received these policies for the first reading on November 29, 2022.

JCPS is engaging in an ongoing cycle of policy review, whereby, over the course of five years, all Board policies will be reviewed. In many instances, no change will be needed – the policy conforms to statutory and regulatory requirements, is clear and accurate, and reflects current practice. In other instances, a policy will need to be updated, or language improved for clarity and standardization of usage. This set of policies is a continuation of this process.
