III.A. Recognition of Dr. Eva Stone on Being Named a 2023 Immunization Champion Awardee by the Association of Immunization Managers
Rationale

JCPS District Health Manager Eva Stone, DNP, APRN, has been named a 2023 Immunization Champion, a national recognition that honors individuals going above and beyond to promote or foster immunizations in their communities for children and adults. 

The Immunization Champion Award is hosted by the Association of Immunization Managers (AIM) and funded by the Centers for Disease Control (CDC). Awardees are nominated and selected from a pool of health professionals, community advocates, and other immunization leaders for significantly contributing to public health in their community.

During the COVID-19 pandemic, Dr. Stone collaborated with local pharmacies to provide thousands of COVID-19 and flu vaccines to students at school. As a trusted location in the community, these clinics became a site in which parents, students, and their siblings received vaccines. In collaboration with community partners and Medicaid, the clinics became a focal point for establishing medical homes and Medicaid services.  From October 1, 2022, through June 30, 2023, 3,000 unique individuals received 5,000 vaccines. The impact of Dr. Stone’s legislative advocacy has impacted the entire state as school-based clinics have been established in other districts allowing students to receive care in places that they and their parents trust.

III.C. Recognition of JCPS Bus Driver Larry Farrish Jr. Who Helped Turn a Student’s Bad Day Around with a Kind Gesture
Rationale

Engelhard Elementary School student Levi normally flashes a big smile and an excited wave as JCPS Bus Driver Larry Farrish Jr. approaches the first grader’s bus stop each morning.

But one day last month, Larry noticed something was different. Levi was sitting by himself with his head down. Larry asked Levi what was bothering him, and Levi looked up at him with a face full of tears and explained he didn’t have pajamas for “pajama day” at school.

Once Larry dropped Levi at Engelhard and finished his morning bus run, he bought a few pairs of pajamas in varying sizes at a nearby Family Dollar, returned to the school, and asked the front office staff if they could call Levi down.

Mr. Farrish’s kindness made for one ecstatic first grader, and it turned the day around, for Levi and for Larry.

“I can tell Mr. Larry is nice and his heart is filled with joy,” Levi said at the time. “I’m usually really happy, but not on pajama day…When he got me the pajamas, I did a happy cry.”

Larry is a shining example of the good that takes place in our schools every day, with staff going out of their way to help students.

IX. Action Items
X. Information Items
X.A. Acceptance of Racial Equity Policy Update
Rationale

In December 2018, the Jefferson County Board of Education approved the Racial Equity Policy. The policy called for upending racist practices, policies, and beliefs that are causing disproportionality, inequities in access to educational opportunities, and a lower sense of belonging for Black and Brown students, as well as other negative racialized outcomes. 

As one of the Three Pillars that guide the work of the District, the issue of Racial Equity has been a central part of the work. The Coronavirus and the attempt to politically capture public education has only exacerbated the systemic racial inequities that the District seeks to end. Many students and families of all races have been impacted by these tremendous obstacles, but as a consequence of historic and continuing systemic racism embedded throughout our society, Black and Brown families have been disproportionately impacted. Further, a districtwide literacy plan that is firmly aligned with the Racial Equity work has brought about clarity and challenges adults to focus on our efforts, beliefs, and commitment. 

In this presentation, the Superintendent and his leadership team will share the District's Racial Equity Policy update. The presentation is more than an update. It serves as a way to detail an acceptable and accelerated course of action that focuses on systemic disruptions and will address the needs of students, families, and staff via an improved logic model that details inputs and outcomes. 

The District must make sure that it centers justice and Racial Equity in everything it does. In doing so, the updated metrics to the Racial Policy/Plan will be presented. The Board agreed to add more direct and impactful goals that directly improve academic outcomes for students of color.

Rationale
