Board of Education Dodge City Public Schools

Date: February 26, 2018 Subject: Renewal of Houghton Mifflin Hosting Services

Initiated By: Glenn Fortmayer and Tami Knedler Attachments: Renewal Price Quote

Reviewed By: Administrative Cabinet

BACKGROUND INFORMATION: This is a renewal expenditure request. The staff and students in Grades 3-12 utilize a series of curriculum software tools and assessments that measure student growth in the subjects taught, as well as general student achievement growth in reading and math. The software included in these services includes FASTT Math, SRI, SMI, and System 44 Read 180, as well as Reading Inventory curriculum and assessment systems. The systems are hosted virtually by Houghton and Mifflin.

The systems are used to support lower-performing students and to assess achievement for all students through the use of grade level-appropriate assessments. These programs and assessments have been integral components of the school district’s instructional programs and educational decision-making processes for individual students and building wide interventions for several years. Staff and administrators wish to continue using the courses and assessments.

CURRENT CONSIDERATIONS: In order to assess and address individual student instructional needs and to provide instructional intervention and support, USD 443 Dodge City is requesting the renewal of Houghton Mifflin Hosting Services for FASTT Math, SRI, SMI and System 44 Read 180 and Reading Inventory.

The suite of services allows individual student performance and diagnostic testing to determine student performance growth and needs for interventions. Technology support will continue at all locations. New staff will be trained at district cost.

FINANCIAL CONSIDERATIONS: The following funds from Bilingual, At Risk, and Title III will be used to cover all expenses of $71,608.50.

• 8-10-1000-321-00-000 Bilingual $ 50,000.00 • 8-52-2200-320-00-000 Title III $ 17,000.00 • 8-21-1000-321-00-000 At Risk $ 4,608.50

STAFF RECOMMENDATION: The Board of Education is respectfully requested to approve the renewal of the Houghton Mifflin Hosting Services for FASTT Math, SRI, SMI, System 44 Read 180 and Reading inventory curriculum and assessment systems for the period April 1, 2018 through March 31, 2019 at a cost of $71,608.50, as recommended by the district leadership team.

O:\AAClerk of the Board\BOE Agendas\2017-18\20180226 Agenda\20180226 21st CCLC Partnership with Dodge City YMCA.docx 2/21/2018


Date: February 26, 2018

Subject: 21st Century Community Learning Centers Partnership with Dodge City Family YMCA

Initiated By: Tami Knedler

Attachments: None

Reviewed By: Administrative Cabinet BACKGROUND INFORMATION: In October 2012, USD 443 endorsed a partnership with the Dodge City Family YMCA for an application for a 21st Century Community Learning Center grants that would offer after-school activities for the school district’s elementary students. That grant, which was for five (5) years, was successful, resulting in after-school programs at elementary sites throughout the school district since that time. CURRENT CONSIDERATIONS: With the expiration of the previous grant award, the YMCA is applying for two additional 21st CCLC grants to continue the programs and services currently offered. Due to changes in the grant award limits, two grants are needed in order to continue the programs and services at all elementary schools. Endorsement by USD 443 for the grant applications by the YMCA is a critical to its success. While USD 443 assumes no fiduciary or administrative oversight for this program, the services provided through the 21st CCLC program would not be possible without the support of the school district and the use of USD 443 facilities. For this reason, action by the Board in support of the grant applications by the Dodge City Family YMCA is requested. FINANCIAL CONSIDERATIONS: There are no financial considerations. The primary obligation by USD 443 in support of the grant applications is the donation of the use of school facilities in support of the after- school programs. STAFF RECOMMENDATION: The Board of Education is respectfully requested to approve a partnership, as outlined above, with the Dodge City Family YMCA in its applications for 21st Century Community Learning Center grants to continue the after-school programs currently being offered at the district’s elementary schools. RECOMMENDED ACTION:

CURRENT CONSIDERATIONS: John Robb, attorney for Schools for Fair Funding will be at the board meeting to update the Board on the current supreme court case.

Subject: Board of Education Vacancy Interviews

Initiated By: William R. Hammond, Board Clerk

Attachments: • Public Notice of the Vacancy • Board of Education Vacancy Applications

Reviewed By: Administrative Cabinet BACKGROUND INFORMATION: At the November 7, 2017 election Joyce Warshaw was elected to both City Commissioner for the City of Dodge City and board member on the Board of Education for USD 443. It was determined these are incompatible positions, which means a person cannot serve on both. Subsequent to the election, Mrs. Warshaw took the oath of office and was sworn in as a City Commissioner for the City of Dodge City. She also sent a letter to the USD 443 Board of Education of her intention to not serve on the school board. At the January 15, 2018 board meeting the Board declared an opening on the Board of Education and directed administration to publish the legally required notice in the Dodge City Daily Globe. The notice was published in the January 19, 2018 edition of the Globe. According to K.S.A. 25-2022, a qualified elector may be appointed by the remaining board members to fill the unexpired term, in this case until the next election. Kansas statute does not specify a process for the appointment of a new board member. The Kansas Open Meetings Act indicates that the selection process must be done in a public session, and may not occur within fifteen (15) days of the publication of the vacancy. CURRENT CONSIDERATIONS: At the January 29, 2018 Board of Education meeting, administration was directed to accept applications. At the February 12, 2018 Board of Education meeting, administration was directed to notify the five (5) applicants of interviews at the February 26, 2018 Board of Education meeting. FINANCIAL CONSIDERATIONS: There are no financial considerations at this time. STAFF RECOMMENDATION: The Board of Education is respectfully requested select an applicant to fill the open seat on the USD 443 Board of Education. RECOMMENDED ACTION:

10. Special Olympics Volunteer and Parent. 10. Please describe the preparation, skills, education and/or training you would bring to an appointment to the Dodge City USD 443 Board of Education. I have been active within the Dodge City community since 2006. I was born and raised in Greensburg, KS and spent a great deal of time in Dodge City, prior to moving here. While working as an RN at WPMC and Family Care Clinic of Western Kansas I encounter many children and families and hear their needs and concerns. As I have transitioned into my role as a Nurse Practitioner I understand the importance of strong medical and school communication and support. Whether identifying developmental delays and sending referrals, or helping children and teenagers struggling with medical, social, or psycho-social problems the medical providers and school must work together. I am also a parent of a second grader with special needs and my husband is a special education teacher at DCHS. I started my education at Lamar Community College then advanced my education through the University of Kansas so I understand the pros and cons of both community college and larger universities. During my nursing career I have been a supervisor and understand the responsibility of managing budgets while meeting the needs of staff and patients. 11. In your opinion, what are the three biggest challenges facing Dodge City Public Schools USD 443? 1. Remaining fiscally responsible with an ever changing budget and state funding cuts. 2. Referral process, resources, and interventions for early childhood ages 3-5. 3. Continuing to find ways to increase community involvement and understanding of the challenges and needs USD 443 is facing each year. 4. Bridging the gap between 613 special education and 443. The need for a strong foundation of common goals and increased communication for children, families, and educators receiving special education services. 12. What do you feel are the school district’s greatest strengths or assets? 1. The strong commitment of staff, administrators, and board members to the safety and education of all students within the district. 2. Numerous opportunities for all children including sports, clubs, music, art, etc. 3. The strong focus on "growing our own" related to teachers and staff. Providing educational opportunities and encouragement to stay within the community and advance knowledge and education! 4. Deep rooted community pride and support of the school! 5. Technology and educational tools are top of the line and up to date. Teachers and administrators work hard to stay on top of the latest advancements while keeping the strong foundation of core values and traditions known to the community! 13. Are you willing to commit the time necessary to effectively represent the patrons and students of Dodge City Public Schools as a member of the USD 443 Board of Education? Yes 14. Is there any additional information you would like the USD 443 Board of Education to consider?

19

Education is an important part of my life. My personal journey with our son having special needs has increased my passion and focus on ensuring all children have the opportunities to grow into their full potential. I have been very impressed and appreciative of how our own personal needs and educational goals have been met by USD 443 and the Dodge City Community. Providing medical care to children and families also increases my desire to ensure our community has the resources and partnerships to provide the best educational services available! I would be honored for the opportunity to be a part of the USD 443 Board of Education.

Address, including city, state and zip code (no post office boxes) 927 Club View Dr. Dodge City, KS 67801 5. Are you currently employed by Dodge City Public Schools USD 443? No 6. I am at least 18 years of age True 7. Are you a legal resident of the United States and of Unified School District 443, Ford County Kansas? Yes 8. Please describe your interest in serving on the USD 443 Board of Education My interest in the USD 443 School Board is much deeper than just serving on a Board. I am very passionate about children and their education. When I decided to run for USD 443 last summer, I knew it would be a challenge but I was/am very ready for it. I was very honored to receive the amount of votes that I did in the election. Had Ms. Joyce Warshaw been able to step down as she wanted to before the election I would have been able to fulfill the third seat, voted on by the people. I would still like that opportunity if the Board choses to do so. I have one daughter that graduated from DCHS last spring, I have one son that is a 3rd Grader at Northwest, and a daughter that is three. Dodge City is where my roots are and all I want to do is make USD 443 stronger for this community and my children. 9. Please describe your previous professional and/or volunteer activities in the community, as well as your involvement in activities and programs of Dodge City Public Schools USD 443 I was born and raised in Dodge City, and graduated from DCHS in 1999. Through High School I was on of the founding board of The Alley, and participated in many school activities. I attended college at Washburn University and then finished my bachelors degree at FHSU in Business Administration with emphasis in management. I currently serve as Vice President of Lewis Automotive Group. We are a New/Used Automotive Dealership group with home offices here in Dodge City. In 2006 Lewis Automotive Group consisted of 4 dealerships in Western KS and in the past 12 years we have grown to 9 dealerships throughout Kansas. Along with my career, I have been on a number of boards and committees. I have served on the Chamber of Commerce

21


Young Professionals Board, completed the Young Professionals Seminar 6 month class, Crime Stoppers Volunteer, and participated in many other philanthropic events. Over the past 5 years I have also participated in volunteer activities at Dodge City High School, including Hero Day, Guest Speaking for the Youth Entrepreneur's class, Work Force Advisory Panel for Senior's, and attended a meeting on the Pathway 360 Program and toured the Pathway Advisory Team around our business. Currently I sit on the Corporate Board for the YMCA of Southwestern Kansas and Branch Board for the YMCA of Dodge City. I have also donated my time for the past year as Co-Chair of the Salvation Army's Campaign Steering Committee to raise approximately $4M for new facilities. In my professional life, I sit on an Advisory Board for Lewis Automotive Group as well as the Family Shareholders Board. 10. Please describe the preparation, skills, education and/or training you would bring to an appointment to the Dodge City USD 443 Board of Education. As Vice President of Lewis Automotive Group I have the motivation, organization, and ability to work as a team with other Board Members to make the best decisions for USD 443. Lewis Automotive Group employs close to 400 people, and my message to every single one of them is that we are here for the customer. We are here to provide a service and the best possible customer experience inside our dealerships, and that is exactly what I would bring to USD 443. We are here for the students and children of USD 443. We are here to do a job, and that is to give these children the best education and experience we possibly can. We have a tremendous community and we need to utilize these people and resources to help grow our future. Financially, I run a company with Sales of around $200 Million and a budget of $26 Million. I understand financial responsibility, and trust myself fully in dealing with big and small budget items. I will be very responsible with taxpayers money and do my best to allocate funds where I see the most need. Although I will have a great deal to learn on this Board, I feel I am a quick learner, and will put the time and effort in to be prepared, educated, and ready to make decisions. 11. In your opinion, what are the three biggest challenges facing Dodge City Public Schools USD 443? 1. The first challenge I see facing USD 443 is the rapidly growing ESL population and the need for more Bilingual Teachers and Para Professionals. 2. In my opinion there are a lot of misunderstandings with the General Public and USD 443 which creates disconnect. 3. Not everyone in the Senior Class can attend, afford, or get into college. I believe USD 443 needs to focus in on these students to help prepare them for full time employment. 12. What do you feel are the school district’s greatest strengths or assets? I believe just as in my business, people are your number one asset. I have dealt with a lot of staff over the years through USD 443 and there are some amazing people that work for our school district. I was very excited to meet the new Superintendent this year, as he seems eager to bring new exciting things to our schools. The district has a strong foundation of administration, principals and teachers.

22

I was also glad to see the 2016 Bond pass to expand the current schooling facilities. With a lot of these projects nearing completion we should have the proper sized facilities to accommodate the growing number of students. This was a huge win for USD 443 in my opinion as those schools desperately needed expansion. The last strength I see for us as a district is the amount of diversity we have. With diversity, we are able to offer a broader range of learning for each culture. It allows students to experience this diversity from a young age so they are not learning to deal with it when they enter the workforce. 13. Are you willing to commit the time necessary to effectively represent the patrons and students of Dodge City Public Schools as a member of the USD 443 Board of Education? Yes 14. Is there any additional information you would like the USD 443 Board of Education to consider? I do recognize I will have a great deal to learn, as I have never served on an educational board, but I will put the time and effort in to be an educated- active Board Member. If you need any further information to help you make this decision please contact me at the phone number listed above and I would be happy to provide it. I thank you in advance for your time and consideration.

Served on the board for the last two years, and while I may not know everything I was just getting more comfortable with the issues and being more vocal about them. 11. In your opinion, what are the three biggest challenges facing Dodge City Public Schools USD 443? The growth of the district and the new construction making some schools meet current needs and not having much room for growth in enrollment. Being able to bring in new teachers and keeping them in the district

24


The diversity of the district and ensuring we that all of our students are prepared for the real world rather it be higher education or a career. 12. What do you feel are the school district’s greatest strengths or assets? Teachers/staff School Buildings/Facilities The abundance of extra curricular activities offered to our students 13. Are you willing to commit the time necessary to effectively represent the patrons and students of Dodge City Public Schools as a member of the USD 443 Board of Education? Yes 14. Is there any additional information you would like the USD 443 Board of Education to consider? While I served on the board the last two years I may not have been the most vocal member, but I feel comfortable saying that if I were chosen that will be different as I was finally getting more comfortable towards the end of my term. I have enjoyed being on the board the last two years and whether or not chosen to fill this position I will be running again the next election.

In my opinion the biggest challenges for the community is first improving the quality of education for the children of our community. Secondly we have a very diverse community and addressing the needs of all children is important, so none get less than they should for education. The third is the expenses accompanying these challenges. It is a fine line between properly funded and wasted funding. 12. What do you feel are the school district’s greatest strengths or assets?

Subject: Victory Electric RTP (Real Time Pricing) Dodge City High School


Attachments: Invoice from Victory Electric

Reviewed By: Administrative Cabinet BACKGROUND INFORMATION: USD 443 Administration has been working with Victory Electric to move two district facilities to RTP (Real Time Pricing). The concept of RTP is to establish a customer base load with new electricity priced at the whole sale cost. To achieve that goal is was necessary for the school district to purchase part of the distribution equipment from Victory Electric, including wiring and transformers. The wholesale cost of electricity is projected to be significantly cheaper than the cost through the large commercial tariff. In effect customer base load will be charged under large commercial tariff, with the remaining electricity charged under the RTP tariff. CURRENT CONSIDERATIONS: The school district has received an invoice from Victory Electric for the work done at Dodge City High School in the amount of $171,217.00, of which $30,806.00 was for work that had to be completed due to the expansion. $140,411.00 is related to work that allows us access to the RTP tariff. The school district also received an estimate from Victory Electric on the annual savings from RTP showing $30,042.09. An analysis of this estimate leads administration to believe it is a very conservative savings estimate. We anticipate more savings by successfully moving the school districts electrical usage to non-peak hours through the ice storage system. FINANCIAL CONSIDERATIONS: The invoice from Victory Electric in the amount of $171,217.00, which includes $30,806.00 for the work needed as a result of the expansion, and $140,411.00 for work that allows access to the RTP tariff, will be paid from Capital Outlay. It should also be noted the school district will receive an estimated pay back of $30,042.09 annually. STAFF RECOMMENDATION: The Board of Education is respectfully requested to approve the expenditure on the invoice from Victory Electric in the amount of $171,217.00, which includes $30,806.00 for the work needed as a result of the expansion, and $140,411.00 for work that allows access to the RTP tariff to be paid from Capital Outlay.
