Share Individual Favorite Strategic Plans

Committee Co-Chair Bolton began the discussion of strategic plans from other school districts and companies, and what parts

of them members found noteworthy.

Noteworthy items included: data collection upfront, survey work, timeline established, turning around lowest performing

schools, funding, and connected citywide plan.

Ms. Bolton stated that being aware of other area organizations’ concerns and priorities could be helpful to create more of an

integrated effort on CPS’ part, and possibly on their part too. CPS has many community partnerships.

Discuss Equity Education

The Committee discussed the Key Data Highlights on Equity and Opportunity Gaps in Our Nation’s Public Schools report.

This report is somewhat dated, but CPS has current data for the District that the committee would like to see.

ACTION: Administration will prepare the relevant and matching data and report back to the Committee.

In order to move ahead on equity, Ms. Bolton suggested the Administration also provide data regarding poverty disruption,

absenteeism, and disproportionality of discipline.

Review Results of Compiled SWOT (Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, Threats) Themes

Committee member Messer originally suggested and introduced the SWOT analysis, and provided the committee with

background information on the SWOT tool and how it can be utilized.

The Committee reviewed and discussed the SWOT Results. The fact that some items are listed in multiple categories was

discussed.

Attached please find a copy of the presentation.



Review Results of Compiled SWOT (Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, Threats) Themes (cont.)

From the discussion, the Committee suggested that sub-committees need to be created. However, it was decided to wait until

after the Board meets on Saturday, October 20, 2018. At that meeting, the Board will discuss the parameters of the Strategic

Plan, both the financial and also what kind of Strategic Plan and its scope, length, and timeline.

The next StEP Committee meeting will be on Tuesday, October 30, 2018, 4:00 p.m.

The meeting adjourned at 6:00 PM.

Continued Discussion: Kindergarten Entrance Requirements

Ms. Brooks continued her discussion on the possibility of moving back the cutoff date for entering preschool and kindergarten

from a September 30 birthday to an August 1 birthday.

She discussed the following report with the Committee.

At the September Board Policy Committee Meeting, the Early Childhood Department was asked to consider the

possibility of moving back the cutoff date for entering preschool and kindergarten from a September 30 birthday to an

August 1 birthday.

Under Ohio Rev. Code 3321.01, either August 1 or September 30 may be adopted by the Board as the required date by

which students must have attained the specified age for preschool or kindergarten.

While the Early Childhood Department can support either date, in their view, there are pros and cons to remaining with

September 30 or moving the cutoff date to August 1.

PROS CONS

+All students will have attained the age of

three before starting preschool or five

before starting kindergarten.

-Increases the age of eligibility for preschool (i.e.,

students who turn 3 between August 1 and

September 30 will no longer be eligible).

+All students will have attained the age of

eligibility by the first day of school.

+Avoids necessity of holding some spots

for two-year old students in preschool

classrooms before they turn three.

-Private providers (i.e., Preschool Promise

providers) will likely be negatively impacted

because of the reduced number of students eligible

(for 1 year).

-Creates a difference between CPS's rules and

neighboring school districts—most of which

currently use September 30.

-Increases number of students applying for early

entrance testing to kindergarten



(cont.)

Continued Discussion: Kindergarten Entrance Requirements (cont.)

Ms. Brooks commented that there would be an impact on preschool if the enrollment period is changed.

ACTION: The Administration will continue studying enrollment period and provide the Committee with data as to how

the current enrollment birthday date, third-grade and KRAL data affects learning.

ACTION: The Administration will provide the Committee with data of students that were born in August and

September.

Discuss A Resolution In Opposition to House Bill 658 – Gender Dysphoria Bill

Mr. Hoying informed the Committee about House Bill 658. The Bill prohibits a court from using a parent, guardian, or

custodian’s refusal to allow a child to undergo gender-based treatment as a basis for determining custody of the child.

The bill would require any government agent or entity with knowledge that a child under its care or supervision has exhibited

symptoms of gender dysphoria or otherwise demonstrates a desire to be treated in a manner opposite of the child’s biological

sex, to immediately notify the child’s parents, guardian, or custodian.

The bill defines “gender dysphoria” to mean “the condition of feeling one’s emotional and psychological identity as male or

female to be opposite to one’s biological sex.”

Mr. Hoying reviewed a draft of the Board’s Resolution in Opposition to House Bill 658 – Gender Dysphoria Bill with the

Committee.

A portion of the resolution states:

WHEREAS, this Board has affirmed its prohibition against discrimination against students on the basis of gender

identity and expression in Board Policy 5517.01 (Bullying and Other Forms of Aggressive Behavior); and

WHEREAS, this Board believes that the act of coming out can be an ongoing, personal, and difficult process because of

potential discrimination, homophobia, rejection, or marginalization from a student’s family and the community at large,

and therefore the student should determine how and when to disclose this personal information to the student’s family;

and

WHEREAS, this Board believes that gratuitously providing information about students’ gender identity or expression to

students’ parents, guardians, or custodians, absent reasonable circumstances that warrant a need for such information to

be reported, could endanger the student at home.

NOW, THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED, the Cincinnati Board of Education strongly opposes HB 658.

ACTION: The Committee agreed with the resolution and will recommended the document to the Board for approval at

the October 22, 2018 Regular Business meeting.

Discuss A Resolution to Extend Graduation Options to the Class of 2019, 2020, 2021

The Committee discussed the Resolution to Extend Graduation Options to the Class of 2019, 2020, 2021 as a result of

Section 733.67 of House Bill 49 of the 132nd

Ohio General Assembly. The Bill authorized two additional graduation

pathways for students in the Class of 2018.

Those additional pathways provided a meaningful opportunity for those who did not otherwise meet one of the standard

existing pathways to graduation as well as provided increased opportunities for earlier and more targeted career and technical

education pathways.

The Committee reported that urban, suburban, and rural school districts across Ohio are seeking the extension of these two

additional and meaningful graduation pathways for the Classes of 2019, 2020 and 2021 to ensure those students have the

same opportunities to graduate as the Class of 2018.



(cont.)

Discuss A Resolution to Extend Graduation Options to the Class of 2019, 2020, 2021 (cont.)

A portion of the resolution states:

ACTION: The Policy Committee agreed that the two additional pathways should be extended to the Classes of 2019,

2020 and 2021 and will recommend approval of the resolution to the Board at the October 22, 2018 Regular

Business meeting.

NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Cincinnati Board of Education requests the Ohio General

Assembly act immediately and in advance of December 1, 2018, to extend the two additional pathways authorized in

Section 733.67 of H. B. 49 of the 132nd

General Assembly to the Class of 2019, the Class of 2020 and the Class of

2021.

Assigned by Finance Committee: Policy 6210 – Fiscal Planning Status

The Finance Committee reviewed the policy at their August 16, 2018 Finance Committee Meeting. The Board approved the

policy at their August 27, 2018 Regular Business meeting.

The Policy Committee advised that policies needing to be reviewed should first be assessed at a Policy Committee meeting

and then reviewed in the appropriate Committee in order for the recommendation of approval of the document to come from

the appropriate Committee.

Re-Affirmation to Organized Labor Resolution

The Committee reviewed A Resolution Affirming Labor Rights and Obligations in Public Workplaces.

The Cincinnati Public Schools Board of Education issues this resolution in response to the recent ruling of the Supreme

Court of the United States in Janus v. AFSCME Council 31, 585 U.S. (June 27, 2018). The Janus decision overturns

decades of well-established law and practice relating to the right of a union to require the payment of fair share agency

fees from public sector employees who decline union membership. Under Janus, public employers may not deduct

agency fees from a nonmember’s wages, nor may a union collect agency fees from a nonmember, without the employee’s

affirmative consent

ACTION: The Committee agreed under Janus that public employers may not deduct agency fees from a nonmember’s

wages, nor may a union collect agency fees from a nonmember, without the employee’s affirmative consent.

The Policy Committee will recommend approval of resolution to the Board at the October 22, 2018 Regular

Business Meeting.

New Policy: Crowd Funding

Mr. Hoying discussed with the Committee the possibility of teachers being able to generate donations to provide materials to

enhance the educational experience of their students, as mentioned by Dave Yost, Ohio Auditor of State. The Auditor is also

urging school districts to adopt policies to govern the use of online fundraising.

Mr. Hoying will view the Ohio School Boards Association webinar on Crowdfunding Best Practices on Wednesday, October

24, 2018, from 12:30 p.m. to 2:00 p.m. He will also look into how other districts are using crowdfunding and survey teachers

to learn how successful they are at raising funds. Committee member Bates will provide the Committee with crowdfunding

information available through the Council of the Great City Schools.

Committee member Moroski recommended that policy indicate that a preferred crowdfunding vendor be used district-wide.

ACTION: The Committee will discuss a draft policy at the December 20, 2018 Policy Committee meeting.

Kindergarten Readiness Assessment (KRA in CPS)

Lucy Collier, Manager, K-3 ELA, updated the Committee on the following information regarding an assessment that is

administered to all first-time kindergartners. She reported:

Under Ohio’s Third Grade Reading Guarantee, all first-time kindergarten students are assessed using the Kindergarten

Readiness Assessment, or KRA.

The assessment is used to determine which students are likely to struggle with reading, or be considered “not on-track”

and need targeted reading interventions to close the gap.

KRA has three sections: Math, Language and Literacy, and Social Foundations. Only the Language and Literacy

section of the KRA is used to determine reading status.

Students who score a 263 or above on the Language and Literacy section of the KRA are considered “on-track” readers.

Students who score below 263 are considered “not on-track” for reading and are put on a Reading Improvement and

Monitoring Plan (RIMP) to receive targeted reading interventions.

Percent of “On-Track” Kindergarteners in CPS

Year % on-track # tested

2014-15 52.7% 2,898

2015-16 58.4% 2,514

2016-17 57.7% 2,690

2017-18* 52.6% 3,078

*For the 2017-18 school year, 669 of the 3,078 kindergarten students attended preschool in CPS, making up 21.7 percent

of the kindergarten population that year.

Of the 669 CPS preschool students who entered kindergarten in CPS in 2017-18, a total of 457 students, or 68.3 percent,

scored on-track on the Kindergarten Readiness Assessment.

CPS preschool students had an average score of 266.5 points on the Language and Literacy section of the KRA, versus an

average score of 259.9 for all CPS kindergarten students.

Community Report

Shannon Yung from Friends of Children, a non-profit organization updated the Committee about the work of the company.

She advised that the company has been around for 20 years and works with vulnerable youth, ages four to six. The

company’s model is a follows:

Select children facing the highest risks.

Employ and train salaried, professional mentors called Friends.

Commit for the long term (Kindergarten through Graduation, 12.5 years).

Focus on complete transformation of each child (Each child gets a dedicated, one-on-one Friend who spends a

minimum of 16 intentional hours per month with them).

We work in and with the child's community (Friends spend time in each child’s home, school, neighborhood, and

community).

Evaluate, measure, and improve.

ACTION: Ms. Yung asked the Committee which of CPS’ schools would benefit from the program. Ms. Bunte will put

Ms. Yung in contact with General Counsel Hoying about the organization. Mr. Hoying works with Jobs and

Family Services and Kids in Schools Rule.

Aiken Space Usage

Ms. Bunte reported that part of the AIKEN space made available by virtue of Carpe Diem's departure will be used to provide

a new Rising Star Preschool site. Ultimately that preschool program will provide an opportunity for high school students to

pursue a career education pathway in teaching and early education.

Status of Six American Institutes for Research (AIR)

Mr. McDole reported that that there has been a proposal for an opportunity to be a part of the pilot. He advised that the

District has not heard back about the process for the application phase or how Districts will be selected. He also reported that

he has been working with Hamilton County to make the District’s interest known about being a part of the pilot.

Mr. McDole informed the Committee that the Administration has not made any recommendations from the Six American

Institutes for Research (AIR) Recommendations on Improving Ohio Teacher Evaluation System (OTES) as of yet. The

Committee became frustrated with the perceived delay in the AIR recommendation from the Administration.

ACTION: If the District is chosen to participate in the pilot, the Administration will bring the work to the SAC for their

discussion on what to do for the pilot. The Committee will discuss changes to how teachers are evaluated at

Foundation Funding Report

The graph reflects transferred funds from first payment in July through first payment in October. Although the graph shows a

substantial decrease in payments, there are still charter schools for which funds have not been transferred. See slides 6 and 7.

There is an expectation that the October number two payment for FY2019 to be substantially lower than the October number

2 payment for FY2018.

Source: ODE Website FY2019-SFPR-REPORT

Comparison of Payments FY2018 - vs - FY2019

Summit Academies include 7 schools in FY2018 and 10 Schools in FY 2019.

Charter Schools Not Yet Funded (SLIDE 6)

These schools and associated FTEs were on the District’s October 22, 2018 FTE Detail Report; however, they are not listed

on the FY 2019 transfers through the first October payment. There is an expectation that these schools’ FTEs to be reflected

in the second October 2018 payment.

Charter Schools Initially Funded in FY2019 but not on most Recent FTE Reports (SLIDE 7)

Funds were transferred to these schools but these schools are not in the October 22, 2018 FTE report. There is an expectation

for these to be removed in the second October 2018 payment. These figures are estimates. FTEs change daily

Flagged Records

INQUIRIES/UPDATES

1. Mrs. Bates – attended Council of the Great City Schools Conference. There was a session on School Safety that had three

strategies being used in other districts:

Computer App – created so students feel safe reporting students with weapons

Developing strong relationships with the students

Staff is trained to recognize changes in behavior as staff greet students when they enter the building

2. Ms. Bolton – update on the RFP for the Strategic Planning Committee consultant? It is currently in process and it will

launch relatively soon per Superintendent Mitchell.

3. Mr. Messer – there is an anonymous app that can be used by students or staff to report uncomfortable situations that our

happening within the district. Once reported it gets investigated and we look for any trends to see where improvements need

to be made. Do we currently have a process and what is it? Or do we report these situations to Human Resources?

4. Mrs. Bates – expand our internal communication regarding engagement.

5. Mr. Davis – do we have a directory for GSA’s and GSTA’s? Do we know where those organizations are fitting inside our

school buildings?

6. Mr. Davis – Council of the Great City Schools Conference was an incredible experience, anytime you have Michelle

Alexander and Dr. Jill Biden as Keynote Speakers is an absolute blessing.

ASSIGNMENTS

Please note the following assignments:

1. Administration/Policy Committee – we have a Whistle blower policy currently in place. Have Administration and the Policy

Committee to review the policy and see if it needs augmented. Also, Internal Auditor has the capability to receive

2. Administration – to build a list of all the GSA’s and GSTA’s across the district.

3. Administration – do research to adopt Lighthouse as our school?

4. Administration – to review our local policies and procedures regarding prevailing wage and also local contractors, local

women and minority businesses. Review what our expectations are locally.

5. Board – be prepared to come next meeting to discuss the CUCI report as well as the 15 page report that was now passed by
