Continued Discussion of External Evaluator Update on Foundation’s PRHP Initiative
In further discussion of the questions posed by external evaluator Maggie Jones to the Program Oversight Committee, comments offered included:
Given the Foundation’s mission, what are the core messages that it wants to convey? How is that reflected through the Foundation’s strategies?
In a world with more messages than we can process, it is important to keep the focus on our brand, message and mission.
The Foundation’s Communications Director was encouraged to create an ad hoc advisory committee on communications to support this work. Jill Bell (of Passport) and Board member Dona Rains were suggested as possible members. Other suggestions were:
• Make greater use of infographics (like those the State Health Access Data AssistanceCenter - SHADAC – creates for us) and our YouTube channel
• Board and CAC to “like” and share Foundation items on Facebook, and retweetFoundation tweets to their network
• CAC members to “map” their relationships with key media, elected and civic leaders intheir communities and reach out to them, sharing the Foundation’s work
• Present the Communications Plan update at September CAC meeting, to furtherencourage their engagement and outreach
3
Convening: How can the Foundation leverage this strength to advance conversations and build capacity?
• Consider further joint convenings with business community partners• “Genius” to focus 2016 Bost Forum on health as an economic driver• Employers can be partners in cost-containment efforts of “doing care differently”• The business community shares our interest in getting Kentucky going, getting healthy,
getting jobs – combating the challenges of the state’s high rates of ill health and poverty• There may be convening opportunities around nutrition/physical activity policy
Targeted research: How can the Foundation sustain the credibility and usefulness of its data and research efforts?
• This is a strong suit: lead with the data• Evidence base for prevention as a good investment• How research translates to visualization, application
Relationship and capacity building: How does the relationship building strategy evolve given the new political landscape?
• Opportunities to build rapport with new administration; shared interest in the health ofKentucky’s children
• Constructive framing of shared interests• We tend to think of policy at the state level – some of the most important changes are
happening at the local level: smoke free, shared use, walkable communities• Engage the business community by listening: link of healthy workers to productivity,
healthcare costs• Use business community leverage for policy change in Frankfort• Let’s look for our areas of common interest with agribusiness
Grantmaking: How does the Foundation want to position itself in relationship to its grantees? • We fund them, but we don’t control what they say• Just want to be sure they are getting the work done, that we agree to support• Want our name tied to conferences and convenings; other advocacy, staff may continue
to evaluate on a case by case basis.
At the July 22 meeting of the Executive Committee of the Board and CAC Leadership, there will be further discussion of how best to present the Communications Plan and engage CAC members at the September 20 meeting.
Adjourn
The meeting adjourned at 1:25 PM, on motion of Robert Slaton, seconded by Carlos Marin, to be followed by a meeting of the Grants Committee.

Program Oversight Committee October 07, 2016
Investing in Kentucky’s Future (IKF) Update Grantmaking
Springboard to Resiliency
Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs) such as abuse, neglect, or witnessing crime, parental conflict, mental illness, and substance abuse can create dangerous levels of stress and derail healthy brain development, with long-term effects. ACEs have been linked to chronic health conditions, risky health behaviors, low life potential and early death and are therefore becoming an important public health priority. The Bounce coalition, the IKF grantee piloting strategies to address ACEs in two elementary schools in Louisville – Semple and Wheatley- continues to show significant progress as it moves into its third year of funding.
Most measures being followed show improvement. For example, behavior referrals with the highest intensity declined from 260 (33%) to 171 (28%), a considerable drop.
Bounce has highlighted that the most important changes were seen with the Jefferson County Public Schools (JCPS) Comprehensive School Survey (CSS) data, which show gains for 7 of 9 items this year. It is commonly held that positive school climate change is a requisite for academic progress and the CSS data show nice gains on items for students and staff, and favorable comparisons to elementary district data. The largest gain (7%) was for the item “I believe the adults in my school will take care of any unsafe situation”.
Additionally, Bounce had higher agreement ratings than elementary district ratings for 6 of the 9 items. This is noteworthy because the elementary data includes non-struggling schools. Especially noteworthy is the 4.2% gain for the item “I feel my teachers really care about me.”
Not only is it a substantial gain, it also is above the district average.
Following improvements to school climate, one would hope to see changes in student attendance, and the attendance rate improved by 1%. In terms of staff, pre‐post survey results show that the percentage of teachers rating themselves as having adequate or extensive skills in providing support to students experiencing traumatic events has risen by 32.8% since the fall 2014 baseline data was collected.
“I believe the adults in my school will take care of any unsafe situation.”

Action on Childhood Obesity Prevention
The six grantee counties working on childhood obesity prevention – Breathitt, Clinton, Grant, McLean, McCracken and Perry- continue to make progress in the development of their business plans.
The Partnership for a Healthy McLean County has signed a Memorandum of Understanding between the coalition and the McLean County School District. An important part of the collaboration is the inclusion of the SPARK physical activity and nutrition program in schools.
SPARK has been recognized as an Exemplary Program of the U.S. Department of Education and featured in the Surgeon General’s Report as a “School-based solution
to our nation’s healthcare crisis.” The coalition held a training for staff in the use of SPARK, and implementation of the program in elementary schools has begun with the start of the new school year.
McLean County is also using its School Backpack Program to offer healthier food options for those participants in the program. Surveys were sent to parents in order to evaluate the reception of the healthy food in the home along with gauging the response of receiving educational materials that address healthy eating in the future. Parents’ response to the program was unanimously positive.
The Partnership for a Healthy McLean County is also working on community strategies. In this area they held a nutrition fair, which will be repeated this fall, and also hosted a Regional Health Council meeting.
In Grant County, along with the improvements made to the basketball, tennis and volley ball court at Corinth Park, the Fitness for Life Around Grant County (FFLAG) coalition completed a walking path in the park. Students from Grant County schools participated in the design and development of the path, as part of their engagement in improving the environment necessary to make physical activity possible.
Youth engagement is a growing area of work among IKF grantee counties. The Clinton County Healthy Hometown Coalition has youth members on their coalition board. These youth coalition members participated in the Albany Elementary School Health Fair, talking with 675 elementary students about the importance of good nutrition and quizzing students on good choice/bad choice
regarding food.
The Clinton County coalition also hosted a Healthcare Professional Roundtable Luncheon specifically directed at talking with providers about childhood obesity in the community and obtaining feedback on how best to coordinate with them in the prevention efforts being made by the community.

The Purchase Area Connections for Health Coalition that is working on the development of the Fountain Gardens Get Fit Youth Wellness Program has been granted a no-cost extension on their first year contract. Since the part of the project that is related to the development of a park contains federal funds in the funding package, they require additional reviews through federal agencies. Their first delay came from a required environmental clearance. Now the Transportation Cabinet must approve the plans and specifications for the health park improvements. Those plans are under review at this time. Once approved, the City is required to advertise for bids for at least 30 days prior to opening the bidding period. Once
the bids are obtained, it will take an additional 3-5 weeks to award a contract through the Paducah City Commission. In the meantime, the implementation of the Coordinated Approach to Child Health (CATCH) program, focused on nutrition and physical activity in the schools, is in development.
The Breathitt County Health Planning Council for Children coalition hosted another Community Fun Run in coordination with the Parks and Recreation Department. “Glow in the Park “was held on July 31st and nearly 100 people participated, including 20 volunteers. The event had marketing support from the radio station.
Participants of Breathitt's Glow in the Park run.
Besides the development of their IKF grant activities, many of these communities are expanding the change prompted by the IKF grant by leveraging funding and greater community involvement. For example, the Clinton County Healthy Hometown Coalition has added a new toddler playground to the IKF-funded playground in Mountain View Park, through the funding and collaboration with the Clinton County Extension Office, the EPHECT Coalition and the Clinton County Early Childhood Coalition. These partners also added a fence around the toddler playground and received an additional donation from American Woodmark to purchase a revolution spinner for this new playground.

Clinton County Schools received a $25,000.00 grant from Kentucky Department of Education to purchase new kitchen equipment to improve the nutrition content for students as well as staff. Clinton County Extension Office was recently
awarded a grant from the CDC to focus on obesity which they are applying to things like the park equipment.
Another community and coalition success has been the creation of the Clinton County Farmer’s Market Association. The Agriculture Extension Agent and the Parks and Recreation Director, both on the Clinton County Healthy Hometown Coalition board, are leading the project. They have already obtained a grant from USDA to open a location for the Farmer’s Market downtown, which accepts WIC and Senior Vouchers, and they are working on the certification to extend SNAP and EBT cards. Farmers were trained before entering the program.
Policies and System Change
Some of the policy and system change outcomes related to the Bounce coalition and ACEs include:
• A policy change by Louisville Metro Government (LMG) office of Youth Development to modify the LMG contract so that any agency working with youth and receiving agency funding must send an executive director or a designated representative to be trained in adverse childhood experiences (ACES) through the Bounce Coalition. Presently, LMG office of Youth Development provides 44 grants representing 36 agencies.
• Bounce in partnership with BLOCS (Building Louisville’s Out of School Time, a partnership between Metro United Way, Louisville Metro Government, Louisville Alliance for Youth and Jefferson County Public Schools) will be providing training which leads to a youth development certificate which requires 60 training hours, 4 hours of which will be provided by Bounce via the Level 1 and Level 2 trauma-informed care training modules.
• The school district’s Comprehensive District Improvement Plan was reviewed and recommendations for trauma-informed practices were given to district leadership.
• Training manual: Bounce is becoming known and respected throughout the community and is now receiving calls from beyond Jefferson County to replicate the work in other counties. In order to meet the need for further expansion within Jefferson County and the surrounding areas, Bounce is in the process of designing and producing a training manual that will be available online.
Some of the policy and system change outcomes for the IKF grantees working on childhood obesity prevention include:

McLean County Public Schools has recently passed health related policies. Members of the Partnership for aHealthy McLean County are on the school’s wellness committee and are assisting with monitoring theimplementation of those policies. These are some of the policies approved:
o Physical activity will not be used for or withheld as punishment.o Physical Education requirements are not waived for other activities, classes, or disciplinary reasons.o Food will not be used as a reward or reinforcement.o Ensuring all students have access to nutrition education.o The school will make efforts to provide physical activity opportunities and healthy eating programs.o Staff will be given info on preventive health, physical activity, and good nutrition.
McLean county schools have also conducted School Health Assessments.
The Site Based Decision Making Councils in Grant County have become more committed to reducingunhealthy fundraisers.
The Breathitt Health Planning Council for Children has reported that a new Diabetes Coalition has formed andhas received a grant from Marshall University in West Virginia along with training. The new coalition iscoordinating with the BCHPCC.
The UK Extension Office in Breathitt is doing a lot of good work in the area of nutrition and physical activity,including social marketing through their billboards. They are working with 4-H youth on farmer’s market events.
Convening / Relationship Capacity Building
The Investing in Kentucky’s Future Evaluation Advisory Committee met on September 14 at the Foundationoffices. As a result of the advisory committee’s recommendations, the midpoint administration of the schoolsurveys will be eliminated, given that the ideal is to survey after five years, but a minimum of three years isrequired to see any sort of change; therefore the survey will be administered in the third year of each grant.
An important accomplishment that resulted from the work of the Bounce coalition was to win funding for a newinitiative, Building Resilience in Our Community’s Kids (BRICK), to bring together community leaders from over90 agencies to network and learn more about childhood trauma, its relationship to health, and ways to promoteresilience. The first meeting of the BRICK World Café took place on July 13 and the second meeting will takeplace on November 1 at the Foundation office.
The Fall IKF Grantee Convening will be held November 10 and 11 at the Foundation office. Mark Friedman,Founder and Director of the Fiscal Policies Studies Institute, will present on results-based accountability, aframework to help communities, cities, counties and states working to measurably improve the well-being of theircitizens. Additionally Troy Hearn, from the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet, and Elaine Russell and ShellieWingate, from the Partnership for a Fit Kentucky, will present on pedestrian/ bicycle planning.

Registration for this webinar will open on September 28th.
Training
PRHP Grantees and about 300 other Kentuckians interested in health policy attended the Howard L. Bost Memorial Health Policy Forum on September 20th in Lexington, KY. In addition to hearing from engaging national and local presenters, Ellen Hahn, director of KCSP participated in a panel discussion titled, A Strong Economy is Good for Community Health and Vice Versa. Her presentation slides are available here. KEJC Health law fellow, Cara Stewart noted that the forum provided her with an opportunity to interact with Secretary Glission and members of the administration in an effort to continue the dialogue about Medicaid reform.
Early evaluation results indicate the Bost Forum is already having an impact in Kentucky.
“I have already shared data, materials, and information gleaned from the event with co-workers. I will continue to utilize this basis of knowledge in my work in health care related business development and grant generation/management. Networking with others at the event is very important. I enjoyed talking with other attendees and learning of their own efforts to increase awareness and health status in the state.”

1 This is part of a larger project that includes the construction of (4) baseball fields and a soccer field. In the original business plan an additional amount was budgeted for the “Williamstown Lake Swim Area”. This project will be removed. The location of the
23
5 of 5
swim area was to be at the site of the current water plant and dependent on the completion of the new water plant. The work on the new plant did not start until May 2016 (delayed over a year to line up financing and grants) with an expected completion date of November 2017. Also, even after the new water plant is completed, the old one needs to remain operational for at least 6 more months beyond the completion date. The Swim Area could not be started until late 2018 which does not make it feasible for the third year of the grant. However, this project remains a priority for the City of Williamstown and is expected to be completed at a later date. 2 The sidewalk is approximately .4 miles. In the original business plan proposal, the sidewalk to be developed was the Stewart Road to Grant County Middle School sidewalk. The Starting with Children (SWC) Committee of FFLAG held a meeting and discussed the sidewalks in Dry Ridge. From the discussion it became clear that the budget for this project ($47,520) was not enough for the proposed Stewart Road to GCMS sidewalk construction. The Committee therefore proposed an alternative sidewalk project also based on a clear community need: to connect the Grant County High School (GCHS) to Taft Highway. There is a partial sidewalk already in place at both ends of the connection points (intersection of Warsaw Road/SR 467 and GCHS), so the Committee has sought to finish the sidewalk to provide students with safe walking routes to the High School. The Committee believes that this project would have more students utilizing the new sidewalk since this would be for the High School versus the sidewalk to the Middle School. The new budget amount for this project would $62,971, with $39,357 from the Foundation and $23,614 coming from the community matching dollars. The Committee also recognizes that this new amount will not be near enough to complete the sidewalk. Even though both alternatives will be very costly, this sidewalk will be less complicated than the Stewart Road sidewalk. The mayor of Dry Ridge is in agreement that additional resources would be used to complete any unfinished work and has signed a letter of commitment (sent to the Foundation). 3 Step it Up – a program to provide incentives to students to prepare an analysis of the Grant County environment for walkability. This program is replacing the Safe Routes to School (SRTS) program originally proposed in the business plan. The reason for the change provided is that until the infrastructure is in place (i.e. the completion of the safe sidewalks), the Grant County School district will not support a policy for students to walk to school. Therefore, SRTS will not be a project to move forward with this year or be reflected in the work plan. That said, FFLAG is committed to having Safe Routes to School and will continue to move forward with policy change once infrastructure is in place. Other than the City of Crittenden, FFLAG has competed the Complete Streets policy task. In other words, the cities of Corinth, Dry Ridge and Williamstown now have a complete streets policy. Along with those cities we were able to get Grant County Fiscal Court to institute a complete streets policy at the county level. The policy itself states that new construction should take into account concepts such as bike lanes and sidewalks. The expectation is that with the Step It Up program in Year 3 that FFLAG will be able to have a recommendation from the students to institute a complete streets policy in Crittenden. However, this is based on the analysis performed by the students and we can’t ensure what they would recommend and present to the Crittenden City Council. As such, we have activity in the plan for the students to present their findings but of course we cannot know what their findings will be.
