REVISED REPORT OF THE COMMITTEE OF THE WHOLE

The Committee of the Whole met on Wednesday, April 7, 2010 at 4:00 PM at the Cincinnati Public Schools Education Center in Conference Room 1-A.

AGENDA FMP Supplier Diversity Michael Alao, Internal Auditor, CPS Mr. Alao updated the Committee on his proposed work plan for Internal Audit. Internal Audit proposed to complete the following audit steps:

1. Agree reported Turner diversity figures (as of December 20, 2009) to “Good Faith Estimates;” and 2. Agree reported CPS diversity figures for non-“bricks and mortars” project expenses to CPS Purchase Orders.

Mr. Alao disclosed to the Board the results of his completion of both of the above steps. Internal Audit further recommended that Senior Management and the Board contract with an independent audit firm to audit prime contractor payments to subsidiary firms in order to determine the actual amounts of Facility Master Plan (FMP) expenditures paid to minority contractors. Mr. Alao will outline internal control weaknesses and make recommendations to Administrators and the Board on how to mitigate those control weaknesses during the week of April 12. FMP Director, Michael Burson will prepare a Request for Proposal to have an independent accounting/consultant firm (1) validate the work completed by the Internal Auditor; and (2) provide assurance on the reported FMP workforce inclusion amounts. A copy of the Internal Audit update memorandum is available in the Board office for review. Michael Burson, Director of Facilities, CPS A presentation on House Bill 264 was provided by Mr. Burson. Mechanism of the report explained reasons for the project; a financial analysis; a summary of the Ohio School Facilities Commission approved HB264 Energy Conservation measures; various upgrades needed and contract awards and bidding. A copy of the presentation is available in the Board office for review. Qualified School Construction Bonds Kent Cashell, RBC Capital Markets Mr. Cashell updated the Committee on Qualified School Construction Bonds.

April 26 305 2010


(cont.) Qualified School Construction Bonds (QSCB) are authorized by the federal government through the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) of 2009. The bonds provide federal tax credits for bond holders in lieu of interest in order to significantly reduce an issuer’s cost of borrowing for public school construction projects. The State's role is to provide bond issuance authorizations for public school projects, based on the assurance they meet federal criteria for the programs. The ARRA provides for an allocation to each state, along with separate allocations for large school districts. Mr. Cashell advised that the top 100 districts received its own allocation. The tax credit bonds issued in 2009 did not, in most cases, result in a zero percent cost of funds for school districts, as originally intended. Therefore, the legislation was amended to provide for a new option for these bonds. Mr. Cashell advised that the jobs bill included this new option to issue the QSCB’s in a different form of security. They now can be issued as a taxable bond with a higher interest rate, provided there is a 100% interest subsidy up to a maximum rate set by the treasury. There have been several issues done nationally and all have resulted in net borrowing costs at or near zero percent. The OSFC approved plan for CPS was based on a borrowing cost of 1.25%, so this new form of QSCB should insure that this expectation is met. The Committee discussed moving forward with a resolution to issue the Bonds at the April 12, 2010 Board meeting. Refinancing Kent Cashell, RBC Capital Markets Mr. Cashell updated the Committee on refinancing and advised that this is a big part of the budget plan. Cash flow savings can be generated by restructuring, but the district also desires for the refinancing to generate a net present value savings for taxpayers. At the present time, both of these objectives can be met. Mr. Cashell advised the Board to move on this due to the possibility of interest rates not holding. Mr. Cashell also recommended his team authorize and prepare documentation to be ready to go to lock-in interest rates, to stay in the money. He recommended the Board authorize a resolution for refunding. The Board advised further discussion on the resolution needed to take place to discuss any concerns and present at the April 26, 2010 Board meeting. Sam Malone, Outreach Coordinator, GBBN Architects Sam Malone, Outreach Coordinator, discussed with the Committee his overarching responsibilities. Tasks include general procurement development by working with CPS’ Human Resources Department, workforce and contractor development, his communication plan, next steps and his projected Supplier Diversity Program budget. Mr. Malone also presented the Board with his Strategic Plan for the Cincinnati Public Schools Supplier Diversity Program. The Committee advised Mr. Malone to add a budget to the Plan and costs of what it would take to initiate the labor agreement. A copy of Mr. Malone’s report and Strategic Plan are available in the Board office for review. Board of Education Vacancy Qualifications – Public Input The Board took input from the public on the qualifications and characteristics of selecting a new Board member. The meeting adjourned at 7:45 PM.

FOR BOARD INFORMATION 2010 Debt Refunding Kent Cashell of RBC Capital Markets discussed restructuring of debt with the Committee.

AGENDA i3 Grant Application Bill Myles, Assistant Superintendent Assistant Superintendent Myles discussed with the Committee the i3 Investing in Innovation Grant. The Grant is under the Ohio Department of Education’s priorities for grants under the $650 million Investing in Innovation Fund (i3). The fund is part of the $5 billion investment in school reform in the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) to support local efforts to start or expand research-based innovative programs that help close the achievement gap and improve outcomes for students. Applicants must demonstrate previous success in closing achievement gaps, improving student progress toward proficiency, increasing graduation rates, or recruiting and retaining high-quality teachers and principals. The District is pursuing Innovation Grants for continued funding of Community Learning Centers, the Vermont Math Initiative, Teacher Effectiveness Programs, Dashboard, College Access and Success Programs, American Federation of Teachers “New Path Forward” Program and the University of Virginia’s Turnaround Program. Mr. Myles updated the Committee on the School Improvement Grant (SIG) and the Teacher Incentive Fund (TIF). The SIG is awarded to schools that turn around its persistently lower achieving schools and TIF is a performance-based incentive compensation program for teachers and principals that increase academic achievement in needed schools. Mr. Myles also discussed with the Committee the federal government’s Race to the Top reforms in the areas of:

• Adopting standards and assessments that prepare students to succeed in college and the workplace and to compete in the global economy;

• Building data systems that measure student growth and success, and inform teachers and principals about how they can improve instruction;

• Recruiting, developing, rewarding, and retaining effective teachers and principals, especially where they are needed most; and

• Turning around lowest-achieving.
