V. Action Items
V.A. Recommendation to Receive a Report Regarding Board Policies to Implement Senate Bill 150; to Adopt Related Board Policies for First Reading; and to Receive for Review Related Administrative Procedures
Rationale

On March 29, 2023, Senate Bill 150 became law. Sections 1 through 3 pertain to public schools and the Board is required to adopt policies to implement the provisions of the bill.

Several key aspects of the bill pertaining to the treatment of transgender students raise significant concerns for the District. Specifically, the District is concerned that SB 150 targets transgender students because of their non-conforming gender identity and may therefore be discriminatory on the basis of sex; may create barriers to access to equal educational opportunity; may limit the rights of parents/guardians; and may endanger the health, safety, and lives of hundreds of children in District schools.

The Board will receive two versions of the policies and administrative procedures. A side-by-side comparison of the differences between the versions will also be provided. Both versions were reviewed and discussed by the Board Policy Committee meeting on July 10, 2023. The committee reached a consensus to bring forward both versions for consideration by the Board.

VII.N.16. Recommendation for Approval of Data Privacy Agreement with Aunt Bertha for an Electronic Health Record System
Rationale

An Electronic Health Record (EHR) was implemented last year to meet needs related to the health & safety of students & staff. This product contains a COVID-19 dashboard that has been essential for rapid response to symptoms & conditions. It will also allow for improved monitoring & follow up of student immunization compliance which is part of the back to school guidelines. Louisville Metro Department of Public Health and Wellness is granting funds to cover first year costs for this product.

The COVID-19 pandemic has revealed widespread disparities in access to health care for many students, families, and staff. Without a true electronic health record (EHR), JCPS cannot obtain and monitor essential data. The ability to monitor for and respond to contagious illnesses across JCPS helps support the district initiative to reduce chronic absenteeism. It also allows our team to monitor physical health information such as compliance with state health requirements to identify schools where students may lack access to health care and to allocate resources based on need. This EHR also allows for documentation of employee health visits in a HIPAA compliant platform. This is needed in order to issue employee quarantine notices, which allow for access to communicable disease, leave and have current dashboards of both student and staff illnesses per JCPS location. We are implementing a staff vaccination program to support employee wellness and must document these visits in an EHR. These measures are all critical to support in-person learning for students, support staff attendance and work to improve equity across the district.
