REPORT OF THE POLICY COMMITTEE

The Policy Committee met on Monday, November 6, 2017 at 4:00 PM at the Cincinnati Public Schools Education Center in the

Board Office Conference Room.

Policy 7560.01 – Creation of High Quality Schools

Daniel Hoying, General Counsel

The Policy Committee followed up on the assignment on October 9, 2017 from the full Board to address conditions for terminating a contract

of a district charter or community school partnership, and review of any established parameters or procedures for adopting new programs into

existing schools.

Mr. Hoying informed the group that language regarding the termination of a contract with a charter or community school appropriately states

that “at this annual review, the Board may also consider any grounds in its sponsorship or partnership contract for terminating the

sponsorship or partnership.” This language shall be included in all partnership and sponsorship contracts, along with the specific

grounds for termination. An annual review of progress, or lack thereof, for any contract shall be performed.



(cont.)

Regarding the adoption of new programs within existing schools, Mr. Hoying informed the Committee about Policy 2250 – Curriculum

Initiatives, which incorporates procedures for innovative program designs.

ACTION: Mr. Hoying will review procedures as currently written and update Policy 2250 with revised language in support of

implementing and incorporating new programs within existing schools, as needed.

Policy Alignment Structure for CPP/CPS Partnership

Stephanie Byrd, Cincinnati Pre-School Promise; Cheryl Broadnax, Assistant Superintendent, Early Childhood; Daniel Hoying, General

Counsel

The Committee discussed the need for a policy structure that aligns CPP’s policies with those of CPS, as required by the district’s legal

mandates. As reported by Ms. Broadnax and Ms. Byrd, the intent is to identify which CPS policies are required by Federal and State

guidelines, particularly as it pertains to financial and legal obligations. A review of specific policies, relative to CPP, has been initiated.

Assistant Superintendent Broadnax reported that the Policy Committee would be beneficial in helping to guide the work and use

the Master Agreement as a starting point in identifying appropriate policies.

Mr. Hoying informed the group about the Board’s Resolution Declaring a Shared Vision and Plan for Preschool Promise that was passed

on August 2, 2016. The document includes language, outlined in the Master Agreement, as follows:

“All contracts and funds disbursed for preschool expansion shall comply with Board Policies; including Board Policy 2255

Equity and Excellence in Education; Board Policy 6450 Equal and Fair Opportunity in Contract Employment and

Business Opportunities; and Board Policy 6320.03 Local Business Enterprise Initiative.”

Other policy considerations include:

Enrollment

Financial policies, i.e., expense reporting; carryovers (currently in draft), etc.

Tuition Assistance (manual developed by CPP)

Quality Improvement (manual developed by CPP)

Rules that govern CPP as a public body (e.g., Sunshine Laws)

Ms. Byrd stated that not all CPP policies are required to align with CPS.

The Committee recommended beginning review of equity, enrollment and financial policies to identify which ones are relevant to CPP.

The review should also include rules that govern CPP as a public body (e.g., Sunshine Laws).

Ms. Jones reported that the Policy Committee’s role will be to help establish the structure (i.e, identify where the policies are aligned). The

Committee will focus on the flow and not assist in writing the specific policies.

ACTION: The Committee recommended that enrollment, equity, financial and open meeting policies be prioritized for review.

Mrs. Broadnax and Mr. Hoying will review and search for the appropriate policies.

ACTION: The Policy Committee, on a continuous basis will update CPP on CPS relevant policies as revised.

ACTION: Mrs. Broadnax and Mr. Hoying will report back to the Committee once they have processed and gathered

the necessary information



(cont.)

Policy 5120 – Enrollment in Neighborhood Elementary Schools

Sarah Trimble-Oliver, Chief Information Officer

Ms. Trimble-Oliver updated the Committee on the following data for students who live in the neighborhood but are out of the

boundary area. The report is done by school, grade level and provides rationale for out of neighborhood attendance.

Please find attached at the end of this Policy Committee report, a copy of the data: Count of Students Attending out of Neighborhood Area.

ACTION: Due to the high numbers of out of neighborhood area students at Kilgour and Rockdale, the Committee

advised Assistant Superintendent to invite the principals of those schools to discuss enrollment at their schools.

Ms. Jones also recommended that full Board conversation take place about the implications of the enrollment

numbers.

Ms. Trimble-Oliver reviewed the following Magnet Lottery Diversity Analysis for Kindergarten with the Committee.

ACTION: Data on pre-school will be reported at next meeting.



(cont.)

Policy 5201 – Truancy

Daniel Hoying, General Counsel

Mr. Hoying reported that the District is participating in a Pilot for House Bill 410, the Ohio Family and Children First Cabinet

Council’s Multidisciplinary Truancy Team Pilot Program to address truancy. In December of 2016, the Ohio General Assembly passed

House Bill 410 to encourage and support a preventative approach to excessive absences and truancy.

Mr. Hoying informed the Committee that the policy is consistent with the Ohio Department of Education’s guidance on absenteeism and

truancy. There are no recommendations for changes to the policy at this time.

ACTION: The policy will be reviewed on an annual basis.

Student Voice in Policy

Elisa Hoffman, Policy Committee member; Daniel Hoying, General Counsel

Mr. Hoying presented a draft of a new policy on Student Voice for review and feedback of the Committee.

The meeting with the Student group, scheduled later this month, is intended to finalize the work of this initiative.

ACTION: The Policy Committee will meet with the Student group on November 28 and provide them with an opportunity for

feedback on the policy.



(cont.)

PreSchool Workforce Development Committee (WDC)

Cheryl Broadnax, Assistant Superintendent, Early Childhood; Stephanie Byrd, Cincinnati Pre-School Promise; Daniel Hoying, General

Counsel

This discussion is an update of previous reports of the Pre-School Workforce Development Committee (WDC) regarding the policy

implications of the issue of living wage.

Ms. Broadnax reported that CPP has initiated a study to gather data regarding the landscape for a cost of quality discussion related to

living wage parity and teacher pipeline.

Ms. Byrd also informed the Committee that this study is slated to be completed by the end of year 2017.

ACTION: The Committee will review, with CPP, the results of the study, once completed, and determine potential policy

implication as related to the work of the WDC. Update will occur in approximately three months.

Other Business

PFLAG Memo

Mr. Hoying reported that the memo has been reviewed by a variety of groups, including Equality Ohio. The document will be sent to

principals after feedback has been received. Equality Ohio’s work is broad and focuses on multiple aspects of LGBTQ equality in Ohio.

The meeting adjourned at 5:30 PM.

The Policy Committee met on Tuesday, November 28, 2017 at 11:00 AM at the Mayerson Academy, 2650 Highland Ave, Cincinnati, OH,

45219, Banquet Room.

Student Voice

Committee members continued working with about 40 CPS high school students to build out a program to authentically incorporate

students’ perspectives into the practice, decisions and policy making of the board.

The agenda was as follows:

Discussed the Difference between Governance and Management

o The Role of the Board and the Administration

Provided feedback on a draft of the new Student Voice policy:

New Policy 5820.01 Student Involvement in Decision Making

The Board of Education values student involvement in the decision-making process and shall establish a program for students

to have a voice in Board decisions. The program shall include representation of students in grades 7-12 from all the District’s high

schools. The program shall provide an opportunity for students to report their interests directly to the Board of Education and

for the Board to seek input directly from students.

The Board encourages and welcomes student participation in Board meetings and committee hearings. Students are always

welcome to participate in the Hearing of the Public portion of meetings.

The Board also supports existing programs and opportunities for students to provide input to the District’s administration.

Existing programs that give students an opportunity to communicate with administrators include but are not limited to the Student

Advisory Council, M.O.R.E. program, Peer Leadership Collaborative, and the Student Athletic Leadership Conference.

ACTION: After the students provided two pieces of feedback on the draft policy, the Committee and students agreed

with the updated draft policy and will recommend approval of the policy at the December 4, 2017 Board meeting.

The Committee also invited students to attend the meeting to present the policy to the board.

Reviewed Areas of Agreement that were discussed at the October 9, 2017 Policy Committee Meeting

Conducted Small Group Discussions to work out program details

Small Group Discussion Questions

1. How will students at your school be chosen to participate in the school committee?

2. How will representatives from your school committee be chosen to participate in the monthly

district-wide (interschool) discussions?

3. Should representatives be at all Board meetings, including committee meetings? (Remember

that is Monday at 6:30, Wednesday at 11:00, and 3 committee meetings- finance, student

achievement, policy) If so, how would you decide who attends? What is their role?

4. How often will school committees meet? Is it just their monthly meeting? Do they need to

meet after the monthly interschool meeting to hear what happened there?

5. The Board/committee chairs usually finalize agendas 3-7 days before a meeting. How would

we communicate topics to school committees? And how do school committees get topics they

want to discuss to the Board?



Name the Program

Students suggested the following names for the program:

CPS Student Involvement Council

CPS Student Voice

CPS Teen Vision

CPS Our Schools, Our Voice

CPS House of Student-sentatives (Like House of Representatives, only for students)

CPS Student Public Affairs

CPS Student Administrators

CPS Student Board Administrators

Wrap-up and Next Steps

The Policy Committee will conduct an additional meeting to finalize the details and work towards launching the program in the

early months of 2018, provided the full Board passes the policy. The Committee will also update the student group after the

December 4, 2017 vote on the policy.

General Counsel and Chair’s Update on Business Advisory Council (BIC)

Mr. Hoying informed the group about Ohio Revised Code 3313.82 Business Advisory Councils. The information has been in the code

since 1995. A portion of the code states:

“The board of education of each school district and the governing board of each educational service center shall appoint a

business advisory council, except that a school district that has entered into an agreement under section 3313.843 or 3313.845 of the

Revised Code to receive any services from an educational service center is not required to appoint a council if the school

district and educational service center agree that the educational service center's council will represent the business of the district.”

The council shall advise and provide the following recommendations to the board on matters specified by the board including, but

not necessarily limited to:

1. Employment skills and development of the curriculum to instill those skills.

2. Changes in the economy and in the job market.

3. Types of employment in which future jobs are most likely to be available.

4. Suggestions for developing a working relationship among businesses, labor organizations, and

educational personnel.

The school board shall also determine the membership and organization of the council.

He also informed the Committee that in year 2017-2018, a new statute (3313.821 Standards for the operation of business advisory

councils) will require the Ohio Department of Education to establish standards for the operation of Business Advisory Councils that shall

include at least the following requirements:

(A) Each advisory council and the board of education or governing board that established it shall develop a plan by which the advisory

council shall advise the board of at least those matters specified by the board pursuant to section 3313.82 of the Revised Code.

(B) Each plan developed pursuant to division (A) of this section shall be filed with the department of education.

(C) Each business advisory council shall meet with its school board at least quarterly.

(D) Each business advisory council and its school board shall file a joint statement, not later than the first day of March of each

school year, describing how the school district or service center and its business advisory council has fulfilled their responsibilities

pursuant to this section and section 3313.82 of the Revised Code.

The Committee agreed that the council would be a natural fit with MyTomorrow. They also advised the Administration to review the

organizational makeup and membership of the Business-Education Connectivity Council (BECC) for possible expansion to

carry out the responsibilities the BIC, instead of creating a new group.

ACTION: The SAC agreed with the concept of the Business Advisory Council and will recommend the Policy Committee draft a

policy for the Council. Policy Committee member Elisa Hoffman will make this recommendation at the December 4, 2017 Regular meeting.

General Counsel’s update on the Board’s role in curriculum and textbook

Mr. Hoying discussed with the Committee the following Ohio Revised Code 3313.21 Authority of school board over selection of

instructional materials and curriculum:

(A) The board of education of each school district shall be the sole authority in determining and selecting all of the following to be

used in the schools under its control:

(1) Textbooks, pursuant to section 3329.08 of the Revised Code, and reading lists;

(2) Instructional materials; and

(3) Academic curriculum.

(B) The board of education of each school district may permit educators to create instructional materials, including textbooks, that are

consistent with the curriculum adopted by the district board for use in the educators' classrooms.

(C) Nothing in this section is intended to promote or encourage the utilization of any particular text or source material on a statewide basis.

He also reviewed Board Policies: 2210 – Curriculum Development; 2510 – Adoption of Textbooks and 2520 – Selection of Instructional

Materials and Equipment.

ACTION: The SAC will continue discussion on how the Board’s role can be expanded around curriculum and textbooks; the status of

curriculum; what role the community plays in adopting curriculum and textbooks; what is the “program” for each school. Curriculum and

textbooks will be added as an agenda item on a monthly basis.

Ms. Amat will rotate curriculum managers on a monthly basis to attend the SAC meeting for them to provide an update on curriculum.

ACTION: The Committee recommended the need for a full board discussion about how to create a partnership for the Board

and the Superintendent in adopting textbooks and curriculum.

Arts Curriculum

Ms. Amat informed the Committee that the focus of the presentation is to update the Committee on the variety of Art programs that are

available after school, as well as to ensure that offering of the Arts is equitable throughout the District.

Dr. Rudnick reviewed a graph of after school art programs offered at the various schools. The document also contained a list of

organizations in Cincinnati offering after school programs at CPS.

The after school arts programming at CPS is currently offered by a combination of the following:

CPS Teachers (Schedule E Contract)

Cincinnati Organizations (approximately 43)

Individual Artists from the community (after cleared background checks and CPS badge)

Approved parent vouchers (after cleared background checks and CPS badge)

Dr. Rudnick reported that he is working towards a more even spread of the arts being available at all of the schools. He also reported that

parents pay for their children to participate in some of the programs.

ACTION: Dr. Rudnick will provide the Committee with a report on which schools charge fees for after-school arts and which do not.



(cont.)

Dr. Rudnick emphasized the need to assist schools who have only one or zero opportunities for the arts.

Opportunity needs to be at the level of what other schools are getting. He also put emphasis on ensuring that art is equitable at the elementary

schools.

Dr. Rudnick’s recommendations for inclusion are as follows:

Step 1 (Most Urgent): Secure CPS funding for the nine schools who currently either do not have after school arts activities or just one.

This includes: Cheviot, Leap Academy, Midway, Pleasant Hill Academy, Roll Hill Academy, Shroder High School, Spencer Center,

Taft Elementary School and Westwood.

Step 2: Work to secure CPS funding for the remaining eight schools that have limited after school arts Activities (3 or less), including:

AMIS, College Hill Fundamental Academy, Covedale, Dater High School, Hays-Porter, Hughes STEM High School, Rockdale Academy

and Western Hills University High School.

Step 3: Work to increase the equity of after school arts programming in relation to after school athletics at the high school level and work

to increase the equity of after school arts programming at the elementary school level.

Dr. Rudnick reported that he worked with Resource Coordinators (RC) in providing the information contained in his report and that they

are very involved in the arts at their schools.

He also reported Activities Beyond the Classroom (ABC) has a presence in several of the schools and is interested in expanding their presence

in the arts at the schools.

ACTION: Ms. Amat and Dr. Rudnick will reach out to Brian Leshner, Executive Director for ABC, to discuss what funding

needs to be created in-order to work with the District. The SAC will invite Mr. Leshner to a Committee meeting to involve

him in the conversation. This will be an item of priority.

Ms. Phelps recommended doing presentations about art programs that are offered in the schools. She also recommended doing demonstrations

of the arts during the presentations.

ACTION: Ms. Bolton advised to explore putting together an arts package that includes various types of arts and extracurriculars

that sum up what is being offered at the schools. This could be used as a baseline. “Think big, scale fast.”

ACTION: Dr. Rudnick highlighted the following schools as the focus of priority in getting arts implemented at these locations:

Midway, Pleasant Hill, Roll Hill, Shroder High School, Taft High School, and Westwood. He will reach out

to the arts organizations to work on getting them to offer arts into the schools

ACTION: Ms. Amat will provide the Committee with a list of schools that have art and music, and which ones do not.

ACTION: Dr. Rudnick will update the Committee at the February SAC meeting on his assignments.

He will also do an overview of the Fine Arts curriculum. His presentation will be presented to the full Board at a future

meeting.

ACTION: Ms. Amat will update the Committee on Career and College at the December 11, 2017 SAC meeting.

Small Businesses $46,513 10.4% 2,102 49.9%

Summary of Conclusions:

Number of vendors is a better indicator for diversity analysis versus vendor dollars.

Large vendor dollar business purchases can greatly affect diversity statistics.

The top 5 vendors represent $189,855M, or 46 percent of total Vendor purchases.

Regarding vendors size, the majority of CPS vendors used for Minority-owned and Woman-owned businesses are Small businesses.

Individuals used as consultants/vendors had a very high utilization of woman and minority resources. Woman – 62.8 percent;

Minority – 54.7 percent.

It is recommended that comparisons be made with other large school districts on diversity procurement statistics. For example,

Columbus City Schools has a goal of 20 percent.

Ms. Levins reported that the CPS vendor database will be updated with the results, and the internal process will also be updated.

Treasurer Wagner shared that they plan to compare the diversity statistics with the City of Cincinnati and Council of the Great City Schools.

ACTION: Supplier Diversity Update will be added to the Finance Committee Workplan, reported semiannually.

Marketing Plan for Closing Charter Schools

Lauren Worley, Chief Strategic Communications Engagement Officer

As reported at last month’s Committee meeting, Ms. Cahall informed the group that ECOT (Electronic Classroom of Tomorrow) will be

closing in December 2017, and Superintendent Mitchell reported that the District is targeting those students to offer them enrollment options

into the District.

Lauren Worley presented to the Committee the plan to recruit and enroll the 335 CPS students who are enrolled at ECOT. The goal is to

create a memorable and positive experience for ECOT parents as we aim to recruit and enroll their students at CPS.

Ms. Worley stated that parents who have enrolled their students at an online school have chosen that path for a reason and will want to

keep their children in an online school. Therefore, Cincinnati Digital Academy (CDA) would be a good option. Research is being done

with CDA parents to determine:

Why did they choose CDA?

What benefits are they experiencing for their students?

What could enhance their experience?

How willing are they to recommend CDA to other parents?



(cont.)

The Committee said the orientation process should be as easy as possible. Ms. Worley agreed and said they are working on the process

and will report more soon.

CDA is considered a Magnet School, however, in practice is treated more as a Neighborhood School. The Committee discussed the

possibility of formally changing status from a Magnet School to a Virtual Neighborhood School.

Unspent Funds Policy for CPP

The Committee discussed the CPP Carryover Policy Summary presented by Treasurer Wagner.

The policy is to provide guidance on how CPP will handle situations with funds that were budgeted for CPP’s use but remained

unspent and unaccrued for at the end of the budget period.

Ms. Wagner informed the Committee that she reached out to David Yost, Ohio Auditor of State, on what their requirements are on

unspent dollars. The Auditor advised to set an agreed limit of funds to avoid an excessive cash balance. Unspent funds would be returned

to CPS’ General Fund. Treasurer Wagner reported that any unspent amount over $700,000 will revert back to CPS.

The Finance Committee has concerns about this policy and questioned if the new budget will be reduced by the amount of any carryover.

Mrs. Wagner reported that CPP will be considering this policy again on December 21 at the next CPP Finance Committee meeting.
