Ms. Bolton provided the Administration with notes from the following organizations that have met about ESSA: Buckeye Association of School Administrators (BASA), Ohio Association of School Business Officials (OASBO); and Ohio School Boards Association (OSBA). ACES Issues Chairperson Bolton informed the Committee that the Board will be meeting with City Council member PG Sittendfeld’s ACES (Alliance for Community and Educational Success) Committee in the near future.

Administrative Update Phalen Exploratory Discussion Daniel Hoying, Legal Counsel Pat Neal-Miller, Director, Family and Civic Engagement Julie Sellers, President, Cincinnati Federation of Teachers Mr. Hoying reported that he met with Brian Neal to discuss changes that were needed from the SEED and the Carpe Diem Agreement to enter into an agreement with Phalen Academies. He also reported that Phalen’s application for funding from the State was not approved and that Mr. Neal of the Farmer Foundation was still interested in moving forward with an agreement with the District. Mr. Neal will be meeting with CFT on August 24 to discuss exploring a possible operational agreement. Carpe Diem Lease and Update Gabriel Lofton, Assistant Superintendent Dr. Lofton reported that Superintendent Ronan will be recommending extending Carpe Diem’s contract for two years, which will end next school year, and that the Board will need to have conversations about the current or seek a new location for the school. Aiken is in a growth pattern and will need the space due to an increase of students.

Dr. Lofton will update the Board on when they will need to vote on a new Carpe Diem lease after speaking with Superintendent Mary Ronan. Committee member Hoffman advised the Administration to locate a permanent site for the school. Ms. Bolton reported that Carpe Diem has an interest in building a new school and staying temporarily in the north-central part of the city due to the draw of students from the other schools districts. Chairperson Bolton reported that there may be facilities that the District owns that could be used if they are able to provide the funding for renovations. ACTION: Mrs. Mitchell will add Carpe Diem to the Vision 2020 initiative in relation to available

schools, space and property. Schedule E Increase Breakdown Bill Myles, Assistant Superintendent Mr. Myles reported that he will be meeting with Treasurer Wagner for clarification on equitable distribution of dollars for Schedule E. CFT is showing $250,000 being allocated to My Tomorrow and $250,000 being allocated to Schedule E. Ms. Bolton advised Mr. Myles to speak with the Treasurer about clarifying dollars that are being spent on parent engagement. There seems to be a difference of opinion about the amount of money that is appropriated for parent engagement. The Committee needs to know if the $60,000 appropriated for parent/family engagement is for Leadership Scholars and Parents for Public Schools each or $29,000 each. Also, is the money allotted from Title and General Fund dollars? The Committee also needs to be made aware of how much money is in Title I and what represents one-percent of that money. The Board needs to know those facts in order to answer the questions raised both in June 2016 and August 2016 regarding General Fund dollars for engagement.



School Waiting Lists Chairperson Bolton inquired about the number of schools that have waiting lists. Mrs. Mitchell reported that classrooms are full and that there are 20 additional open spots at Rising Stars Academy. Mr. Myles reported that additional classes that were added at Dater, North Avondale, and Sands Montessori schools, are full. ACTION: The Administration will provide the Committee with the number of students that are on a

waiting list, where they are located, and explore if there is space for additional seats. HET Equitable Distribution of Staff Yenetta Harper, Director of Teacher & Principal Development & Evaluation ACTION: Ms. Harper will update the Committee about revisions that were made to CPS’ Plan to

Ensure Equitable Access to Excellent Educators, specifically the CPS’ 2015-2016 Non-HQT Corrective Action Plan. Human Resource Director Paul McDole, Jr., reported that additional changes were made to the Plan and it was sent back to the Ohio Department of Education (ODE). They are currently waiting on a response from ODE.

Mr. McDole reported that he is working on Dashboard to help manage staffing. Committee Chairperson Bolton reiterated her recommendation of exploring AppleSeed as a means to monitor equitable staffing.

Sample Walk Through Criteria Document Gabriel Lofton, Assistant Superintendent Dr. Lofton updated the Committee at a previous SAC meeting about documents that are being used for the MyTomorrow walk-throughs. He will provide the Committee with a sample of the walk-through document.

High School End-of-Year Facts and Data Gabriel Lofton, Assistant Superintendent Laura Mitchell, Deputy Superintendent Assistant Superintendent Lofton provided the Committee with the 2015-2016 High School End of Year Facts and Data report. He reported that 1,872 students took Advanced Placement (AP) classes in year 2015-2016 and there were 104 AP teachers. All CPS high schools currently offer at least five AP courses. Dr. Lofton reported that there have been double-digit increases in students taking one or more AP classes over the last three years. AP classes have also been expanded across the District and are taught face to face and through Blended Learning (BL) (500 BL across five different courses: Statistics, Environmental Science, Human Geo, Psychology and English Literature). Please find attached a copy of the report. Deputy Superintendent Mitchell reported that the Curriculum Director will be conducting AP audits to ensure that the courses are being taught as AP classes across the District. Mrs. Mitchell also reported that software used by College Board to conduct their audits was also used to develop a strategic plan on how AP is implemented in the CPS District. Ms. Bolton suggested increased Distance Learning capabilities be used and additional AP courses specific to particular schools be investigated, such as Computer Science at Taft. ACTION: Carlee Escue Simon informed the Committee that the University of Cincinnati’s School of

Education has instructional designers that assist the University in building online classrooms, courses and curriculums. She will provide the Administration with contact information to discuss a possible collaboration.



The Administration and through ODE (Ohio Department of Education), is tracking increases in graduation rates, closing the gaps by race and for African American males. The data will be provided to the Board upon receipt from ODE.

http://education.ohio.gov/Topics/Ohio-Graduation-Requirements/Graduation-Requirements-2018-and-Beyond/18-Points-on-State-Tests



Dr. Lofton informed the group that there needs to be a larger investment in remediation and intervention as it relates to the course assessments needed to prepare students to achieve the 18 points in order to graduate. Interventions, remediation and tutors will require funding. NCAA Academic and Athletic Scholarship Requirements Mr. Myles updated the Committee on the academic requirements for college-bound student-athletes enrolling full time at an NCAA Division I college or university on or after August 1, 2016. He also reported that Division I schools are the ones normally shown on television (i.e., OSU, UC). Division II schools for example would be Tiffin. Those schools do not have same amount of scholarships and their requirements are not as high. Division III schools for example would be Wittenberg and DePaul. Those schools do not provide athletic scholarships; however, they do give academic scholarships. Mr. Myles informed the group about District services provided to student-athletes. He reported that before every sports season, Athletic Directors meet with the parents to talk about eligibility requirements for those interested in playing sports, both by school and college levels. Mr. Myles updated the Committee on the process interventions with students to ensure that when offered a scholarship from application to acceptance, the process is followed in order to avoid losing the scholarship. At the end of the year, Mr. Myles reported that he will have a packet that contains the number of athletic and academic scholarships. Drs. Pat White and Suzie White of Leadership Scholars reviewed with the Committee a packet of information that they provide to parents about college access. This is under the leadership of Deputy Superintendent Laura Mitchell and college access application and acceptance is a priority for the District. She also reported that universities are now taking students that are more academically prepared and have the top grade point averages (GPA) and test scores. Dr. Pat White also reported that student aid will be awarded to students with higher GPAs and not based on need. Dr. Pat White informed the Committee that Duke University contacted her and reported that 14 full-ride scholarships that were available for African-American males went unused due to them not applying and not meeting the requirements. Drs. Pat White and Suzie White updated the Committee on the following documents provided to parents at the Leadership Scholars program for parents.

• A spreadsheet of colleges that contain academic data • Article: The troubling use of “merit aid” at public flagships and research universities • Article: What Matters Most Colleges • Factors in the Admission Decision • High School Graduation Requirements vs. College Enrollment Requirements • Leadership Scholars Parent Academy Seven-Week Weekly Topics • Meeting for Parents on Athletic Eligibility • NCAA Eligibility Center: Quick Reference Sheet • Suggested Homework Amounts to Improve Student Achievement

Preschool Waiting Lists Assistant Superintendent Cheryl Broadnax will provide the Committee with an update on preschools that have waiting lists.



Parent Health Consent Forms Committee Chairperson Bolton informed the Committee that Growing Well produces a list of all CPS schools that shows the percentage of consent forms that have been signed by parents giving approval for medical and mental health services be provided to their children. She learned that there are significant differences in percentages of consent agreement.

Mr. Myles reported that the Policy Committee is discussing the use of technology to help parents complete and turn in the forms. Due to the many forms that parents receive, Dan Hoying, General Counsel, will be looking into forms that are required by the State to possibly make it easier to read. Committee member Hoffman recommended that a guide on how to fill out the form be created and during open house an area be set-up for parents to fill out the forms on-site with staff assistance. Ms. Bolton reiterated that getting as close to 100 percent consent forms acceptance and permission should be priority.

Other Business Resource Coordinators Committee member Minera inquired about the need for Resource Coordinators who are not employed by the District having access to PowerSchool and Schoology. ACTION: Mr. Myles reported that he will provide the Coordinators access for the students that they

service. Extracurricular Activities in Elementary Schools Mr. Minera advised the Administration to look into offering after-school extracurricular athletics and study sessions or any after-school venture that would begin to give students an experience in advance of them getting into high school. Mr. Michael Beck, Hays-Porter LSDMC, expressed concern about children not having swimming lessons, and that he is exploring getting students into martial arts and combining it with Leadership Scholars class on mindfulness meditation. Ms. Bolton informed Mr. Beck that Activities Beyond the Classroom is working on offering martial arts to the students. She will also provide Mr. Beck with a contact for yoga instruction for young students. The meeting adjourned at 1:12 PM. Student Achievement Committee Staff Liaisons Eve Bolton, Chair Mary A. Ronan, Superintendent, absent Elisa Hoffman Laura Mitchell, Deputy Superintendent Daniel Minera Cheryl Broadnax, Assistant Superintendent Gabriel Lofton, Assistant Superintendent Bill Myles, Assistant Superintendent Mr. Minera moved that the Report of the Student Achievement Committee be accepted. Passed viva voce. President Copeland-Dansby declared the motion carried.


REPORT OF THE POLICY COMMITTEE

The Policy Committee met on Tuesday, August 23, 2016 at 11:30 am at the Cincinnati Public Schools Education Center in the Board Office Conference Room. New Policy 3220.01 – School Counselor Evaluation Yenetta Harper, Director of Teacher and Principal Development and Evaluation Ms. Harper reiterated that the new policy will be a “mirror” of the Ohio Teacher Evaluation policy. She also reported that the Cincinnati Federation of Teachers is in agreement with the policy and that the policy needs to be in place by September 30, 2016. The Committee reviewed the policy and recommended revisions to the policy and the following categories of the policy:

Assigning an Effectiveness Rating Combine/rework the sections: Assigning an Effectiveness Rating, Calculating School Counselor Performance, and Student Growth Metric so that it is more concise and so that information about a topic is contained in one place. For example, student growth measures are mentioned in the first two sections but not defined until the third. Also, there’s reference to “6 standards” in the first section but “seven areas” in the next.

Evaluation Timeline Create separate paragraphs and/or be more specific about what category of counselors each timeline is referring to so that it is as clear as possible.

Retention and Promotion Decisions (Add school year to end of sentence) Starting in 2017-18, a School Counselor may be separated based on evaluations from the 2017-18 school year.

Removal of Poorly-Performing School Counselors School Counselors that have demonstrated serious deficiencies, PRINCIPALS will have the option to PLACE THEM on Comprehensive Assistance and Review (CAR), unsuccessful completion of Comprehensive Assistance and Review (CAR) may result in recommendation or consideration for separation. Policy Review The Board has reviewed and approved the procedures and tools developed by the administration in consultation with School Counselors to implement this policy for the 2012-13 2017-2018 School year.

Where the “Board” is mentioned, change to the appropriate owner of the action.

ACTION: The Committee will recommend approval of the policy at the Board’s September 12, 2016

Regular meeting. ACTION: The Committee will review the New Policy 3220.01 – School Counselor Evaluation on a

yearly basis by August of each year. Policy 8330 – Student Records Dan Hoying, General Counsel Mr. Hoying reiterated discussions that took place at the July 11, 2016 Policy Committee about releasing Student Directory Information in accordance with the District’s Student Records policy and the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA). FERPA is a Federal law that protects the privacy of student education records. The law applies to all schools that receive funds under an applicable program of the U.S. Department of Education.

http://www2.ed.gov/policy/gen/guid/fpco/ferpa/index.html


REPORT OF THE POLICY COMMITTEE (cont.)

The District, out of fifteen categories, currently has chosen to release: (1) student's name, (2) participation in officially recognized activities and sports, and (3) degrees, honors and awards received. Mr. Hoying reiterated that CPS is an outlier and expanding what is in student directory information will bring us in line with other districts. Mrs. Harper explained that as a former principal, this expanded information was critical because without it, it is difficult for schools to build directories. Those directories are very helpful in building school culture and communicating with parents/engaging families. The Administration and the Superintendent supported expanding the Directory Information to include parent/guardian name, address, telephone listing, and electronic mail at the July 11, 2016 meeting The Committee recommended adding the release of grade level as part of the Student Directory information. Mr. Hoying informed the Committee that parents can opt-out of releasing the information by being provided with an “opt-out form” that is contained in the “back-to-school” packets that are sent home to families. Mrs. Hoffman reiterated her concern about parents being provided multiple opportunities to opt-out and/or ensuring they see this important document. She asked if maybe the document could be sent home as a separate document—not part of the back-to-school packet—to emphasize the importance of parents being aware of the document and having the opportunity of opting out since the first week of school is flush with papers to fill out and it could get lost in the shuffle. Ms. Trimble-Oliver reported that a robo call could also be sent to parents about the form. ACTION: Mrs. Hoffman advised Mr. Hoying to provide the Board with a memo about the suggested

changes to the Directory Information policy, as well as how it will be implemented and what it will look like in practice for families. Explanation and the benefit of why these changes to policy are important will be included. The memo will be included in the Friday, September 9, 2016 Board packet.

ACTION: The Committee will recommend approval of the policy at the Board’s September 12, 2016

Regular meeting. Policy 5120 – Assignment Within District Dan Hoying, General Counsel The Committee had extensive dialogue about the latest draft of the policy and with important input from Pat Neal-Miller and Leslie Bryant from FACE and Sarah Trimble-Oliver, CIO, recommended the following changes:

Title Change: ASSIGNMENT WITHIN District Mrs. Neal-Miller suggested that in order to be as clear for families as possible, this be changed to ENROLLMENT IN NEIGHBORHOOD ELEMENTARY SCHOOLS Board member Jones recommended moving the first sentence under “Assignment within neighborhood zone" to just under the policy title, so that it serves as an introduction to the policy. “The Superintendent directs that the assignment of students in elementary schools within this District be consistent with the best interests of students and the best use of the resources of this District.”


REPORT OF THE POLICY COMMITTEE (cont.)

ASSIGNMENT ENROLLMENT WITHIN THE NEIGHBORHOOD ZONE ATTENDANCE AREA Mrs. Neal-Miller explained that parents do not use the term “zone” and instead use “attendance area” so the policy language should reflect that. Therefore, wherever the policy says “zone,” it will be changed to “attendance area.” Mrs. Hoffman asked that this section be clearer that if a student lives in a neighborhood attendance area, they will have a seat at their neighborhood school, not just that they have “first priority.” ENROLLMENT OUTSIDE THE NEIGHBORHOOD ZONE ATTENDENCE AREA Ms. Bryant suggested coming up with a different term instead of “open enrollment” window because there are other processes that already use that term and it could be confusing. The Committee settled on “out of attendance area” enrollment window. Ms. Trimble-Oliver suggested adding wording to the first three priority categories to clarify that these are CPS resident students.

ACTION: The Committee will review another draft of this policy at the September meeting before presenting it to the Board for approval on September 26. Other Business ACTION: Confirm with Board President Dansby and Superintendent Ronan that the Wellness Policy is

scheduled for a September Committee of the Whole (COW) meeting. ACTION: Follow up with Board President Dansby and Superintendent Ronan about the need for a

COW date to discuss the suggested changes to the Teacher Evaluation Policy. Prior to that date, Board members will submit their concerns about the Teacher Evaluation Policy to Ms. Yenetta Harper in order to ensure she comes to the conversation prepared with information/answers to their questions.

The meeting adjourned at 12:46 PM. Policy Committee Staff Liaisons Elisa Hoffman, Chair Dan Hoying, General Counsel Carolyn Jones Yenetta Harper, Director, Teacher and Principal Development A. Chris Nelms, absent Paul McDole, Director, Human Resources Sarah Trimble-Oliver, Chief Information Officer Mrs. Hoffman moved that the Report of the Policy Committee be accepted. Passed viva voce. President Copeland-Dansby declared the motion carried.


REPORT OF THE PARTNERSHIP/PUBLIC ENGAGEMENT COMMITTEE OF THE WHOLE

The Partnership/Public Engagement Committee of the Whole met on Wednesday, September 7, 2016 at 11:30 AM at the Cincinnati Public Schools Education Center in the Conference Room 1A. Preschool Discussion – Response to Request for Proposal for Trusted Entity Mary Ronan, Superintendent Superintendent Ronan updated the Board on the process that was used for the Request for Proposals (RFP) to select the Trusted Entity. The Preschool Expansion RFP Review Committee met to identify a local non-profit organization to partner with the District to establish and administer the new Preschool Expansion Organization. Mrs. Ronan reported that only one response to the RFP had been received. The United Way of Greater Cincinnati was the only responder. Even though only one proposal was received, the RFP Review Committee conducted the review process as outlined in the original RFP. United Way's proposal was accepted to serve as the Trusted Entity. United Way stated in their RFP that Administrative costs would not exceed $200,000. The Administration will work with Public Affairs on a plan and timeline for soliciting contracts. Superintendent Ronan reported that Cincinnati Preschool Promise, CPS Staff and the community will be working together in “work streams.” The “work streams” will include:

• Data Systems and Evaluations • Enrollment and Participation • Financial Modeling and Budget • Fundraising • Quality • Teacher Pipeline • Workforce Development

Mrs. Ronan advised that hopefully by the end of September, the Board and the groups would have their five members selected in order to create the Preschool Expansion Organization Board (PEO). She also reported that the organizations will submit nominees by way of a letter inviting them to be on the PEO. Public Affairs will create the letter to ensure consistency in communication. The CPS Board will compile a list of their preferred organizations for consideration of being on the PEO and update United Way and Preschool Promise on the selections. ACTION: The Board will submit their suggestions for inclusion on the list. These will be included in

the Friday, September 9, 2016 Board packet. The Board will discuss the list at the September 12, 2016 Regular Board meeting.

New Fine Arts Course of Study Isidore Rudnick, CPS Fine Arts Curriculum Dr. Rudnick updated the Committee about the Comprehensive Standards Based Course of Study for all of the Fine Arts classes taught in the District. The Arts taught are as follows: Dance, Music (General and Essentials); Theater, and Visual Arts. The Course of Study will be uploaded to Google Docs for continued updates. The course of study addresses the Board’s initiatives on equity that are outlined in Vision 20/20 and My Tomorrow Dr. Rudnick emphasized that the course of study is standards and competency based.
