November 4, 2016 To: USD 232 Board of Education Mr. Frank Harwood, Superintendent of Schools From: Ryan Johnson, Associate Principal/Activities Director Re: Donation I seek the approval of our Board of Education to accept a $2,500 donation from Huhtamaki to help sponsor our basketball tournament held in December of 2016 at De Soto High School. The sponsorship will help us cover the costs of the tournament including: programs, trophies, medals, coach’s polos, officials, and various other cost that may arise in the planning of the tournament. Respectfully submitted for Board approval,

Ryan Johnson Associate Principal/A.D.

Through a collaborative learning community we will build a foundation upon which all students can develop essential academic and life skills.

Date: November 29, 2016 To: Board of Education, USD 232 Frank Harwood, Superintendent of Schools From: Kris Meyer, Principal, Starside Elementary Subject: School Contribution We seek the approval of the Board of Education to accept the contribution of two stand-up desks with swinging footrests and two Hokki stools, valued at $810.98, to Starside Elementary School, for Emily Valdez’s classroom. The gift is from various donors who supported this project through DonorsChoose.org. As stated in Emily’s DonorsChoose project:

“My students love the opportunity to choose their most comfortable and safe place to learn within our classroom. Flexible seating (students choosing their own type of seat to suit their needs) is a growing trend to help students understand how they learn and focus based on choices.

My students are movers and shakers and a flexible seating arrangement will help better suit their needs of movement. Having the power to choose where they sit provides an atmosphere with options and keeps the focus on learning.

Hokki stools and stand up desks allow students chances to move while they learn, which helps reduce behavior issues, stress and provides a sense of ownership for their classroom.”

Facilities Department

To: Frank Harwood, Superintendent of Schools

USD 232 Board of Education From: Steve Deghand Date: December 5, 2016 Subject: 2017 Capital Outlay (Consent) As previously mentioned, the Capital Outlay Committee met twice during the month of October to discuss possible projects for the upcoming year. Potential projects were submitted to the Facilities Department from district personnel during the month of September. In all, over $8.6 million worth of projects were submitted. The committee carefully reviewed all requests and placed them into one of several categories. The committee labeled requests as wants, needs, other funding projects, current maintenance/grounds projects, and technology requests. Technology requests have been compiled and given to the director of technology as many of these items were already being considered. Items deemed to be wants, will be filed for possible future consideration or building expenditures and those requests selected as needs were placed on the 2017 Capital Outlay list. There were a total of 117 requested projects submitted by USD 232 personnel with an estimated price tag of $8.6 million, the committee is recommending approval for 57 projects with an estimated total cost of $1,279,000. Included in the recommended projects as well are five projects that are on the district’s current 10-year project list. Again, we are asking the Board to approve the recommended projects as submitted by the Capital Outlay Committee. The Capital Outlay Committee’s 2017 list of projects is attached for your review. The list was presented to the Board via an alert in November and we are asking for Board action on December 5. Please contact me with any questions or concerns you may have regarding the committee’s recommended list of projects. The committee is confident regarding selected projects as definite district needs and Mr. Larsen and I would like to publicly thank those individuals who served on this year’s Capital Outlay committee. Members of the committee are listed below: Kristen Meyer (Starside Principal) Bill Fletcher (Board Member) Lee Hanson (Dir. Special Services) Rachele Zade (Board Member) Josh Kindler (MCMS Principal) Deb Atwell (Facilities Dept.) Michelle Hite (PRE Principal) Ken Larsen (Business Dept.) Marilyn Chrisler (MVHS Asst.

To: Members of the Board of Education Frank Harwood, Superintendent of Schools From: Alvie Cater Date: December 5, 2016 Subject: Professional Negotiation Appointment & Training (ACTION) Brief Summary: Each year the school district negotiates with its professional employees, as provided by law, to determine the terms and conditions of employment. The Board of Education is required by its policy to select as its agents those persons the board believes will best represent the interests of the school district. To that end, we suggest the following persons be selected by the Board for the 2017-18 negotiating cycle.

• Alvie Cater • Ken Larsen • Carrie Handy • Brian Schwanz

The recommended team represents administrative and educational services, finance and human resources. This team will keep the Board informed as we prepare for negotiations in February 2017. In addition, state law requires joint training for members of the negotiations teams. The content and format is to be determined at the local level. It is our intent, with your approval, to have Mr. Harwood conduct the joint training to focus on the foundational principles we shared with the Board over the last few months. Topics will include:

• Shared Vision for Student Success • Focus on Multiple Perspectives • Teamwork • Building Trust • Focus on “Win-Win”

As you may recall, negotiations with our professional employees shall cover only those topics that are mandatorily negotiable under current law. However, the Board shall reserve the right to negotiate any topic the Board deems to in the best interest of the school district.

TO: Mr. Frank Harwood, Superintendent of Schools USD 232 Board of Education Members FROM: Ken Larsen, Asst. Supt., Business & Operations DATE: Tuesday, November 22, 2016 SUBJECT: Postponement of Bond Refunding (ALERT) Postponement of Bond Refunding On October 3, 2016 the Board of Education passed a Resolution authorizing the competitive sale of the callable portions of the District’s outstanding Series 2009 and 2010-A bonds, provided that a minimum Present Value Savings of 6.00% could be obtained on the Series 2009 bonds and a minimum Present Value Savings of 4.50% could be obtained on the Series 2010-A bonds. The bond market has changed significantly since the first week of November, most likely in reaction to the Presidential election, with the interest rates on bonds moving upward. While there are differences of opinion whether this is a temporary or permanent move, the sell-off in the market is significant enough to prevent us from achieving the minimum savings mentioned above. Based on the above facts, our recommendation is to postpone the refinancing’s mentioned above until market conditions change enough for the District’s savings expectations to be met. If you have any questions please call me anytime.

Mr. Frank Harwood, Superintendent From: USD 232 Human Resources Department Date: November 28, 2016 for the December 5, 2016 BOE Meeting Re: Frontline Education--AppliTrack Recruiting Program (FYI) The purpose of our communication is to explain a change in our web-based presence (public interface) for the Human Resources Department. We currently utilize the program TalentEd for our HR posting of available positions within the district and allows individuals to complete an online application. This platform has been utilized by the district since 2007 and we have found it to be antiquated with limited functionality and the vendor support necessary to better meet our ever-evolving needs. After many webinars, conference calls, and conversations, we are moving forward with a program called AppliTrack. This platform is made by Frontline Education which also provides the district with two other services with which we are familiar and pleased. AppliTrack is used by all other Johnson County school districts who expressed to us that the program truly meets their needs. By switching to AppliTrack, it will allow an individual to complete an application at any JOCO school district and import their information into our system if they are interested in future employment. We believe this will allow us to consider additional candidates who would have otherwise not applied with USD 232. Benefits of AppliTrack:

Potential candidates can log-in and send their resume/application to us at the same time they might apply in surrounding districts. We anticipate AppliTrack increasing our candidate pools while we project a more professional image to the public.

Thorough negotiations with the vendor have allowed us to decrease the cost from the initial proposal in order to be able to utilize the same amount of money within our budget in order to continue to be fiscally responsible.

Our contracted rate is locked in for three consecutive years.

We have already begun the implementation process in order for us to fully transition to our new public presence with an anticipated “go live” date of January 15th, 2017, in time for our prime hiring season.

If you have any questions and/or would like additional clarification, please feel free to contact us. We appreciate your ongoing support!

Supporting a dynamic learning community in their continuous pursuit of excellence.

Unified School District 232 Te aching and Le ar ning Dep ar tm ent

To: De Soto School District Board of Education Members Frank Harwood, Superintendent From: Dr. Stacey Yurkovich, Director of Teaching and Learning Ceresa Schaffer, Secondary Curriculum Coordinator Date: December 5, 2016 Subject: High School Honors Course Weighting (FYI) High School Course Weighting The following is the current language in high school course guides and current practice related to the weighting earned grades for some high school courses.

Grade Point Averages To encourage and reward students who complete more rigorous high school courses, USD 232 will award an additional grade point earned for Advanced Placement or College Now courses completed on De Soto school campuses. In addition, pending prior approval from the district Teaching and Learning Department, other core content college courses required for graduation not on the approved list may also receive weighted status. If a student leaves campus during the school day to take a pre-approved college level course, the grade earned will be included on their USD 232 high school transcript. Although semester college courses equal one high school year long course and transcribed as one full credit, the student must maintain fulltime student status to fulfill compulsory attendance laws. The formula for USD 232 Weighted Grade Points Per Course = Standard grade points + 1 point, for grades A, B or C. Weighted Grade credit is awarded upon course completion. Students transferring into USD 232 will receive weighted grade credit for only those courses designated as weighted courses by USD 232. The weighted grading system will be used to determine student honors and distinctions, including class rank. Universities will be informed of the dual grading system when they receive the student’s USD 232 transcript.

In addition, beginning with the 2016-2017 Freshman Class weighted credits were awarded for Pre-AP courses according to the following: A weighted grade can be attained for pre-AP courses by achieving class grades of A, B, or C. Each semester will have an additional .25 per semester or .5 per year weighted grade credit awarded upon completion of the course.

Additions to awarding weighted grades: High School Associate Principals, Sam Ruff, DHS, and Jennifer Smith, MVHS, Ceresa Schaffer, Secondary Curriculum Coordinator and Stacey Yurkovich, Director of Teaching and Learning, reviewed the coursework and requirements for high school courses designated as Honors. It has been determined that beginning with the 2017 – 2018 Freshman Class these courses will receive weighted credit. The computation for weighted grades will be equivalent to that of Pre-AP courses.

A weighted grade can be attained for courses designated as Honors by achieving class grades of A, B, or C. Each semester will have an additional .25 per semester or .5 per year weighted grade credit awarded upon completion of the course.
