REPORT OF THE PARTNERSHIP/PUBLIC ENGAGEMENT COMMITTEE

The Partnership/Public Engagement Committee (PPE) met on Tuesday, May10, 2011 at 5:00 PM at the Cincinnati Public Schools Education Center in the Board Conference Room.

FOR BOARD APPROVAL

The Administration received a letter from Jack Cover, President of the Withrow Alumni Association, requesting application of a tiger paw print logo on the basketball center court.

The Committee reviewed the letter and Dave Dierker, Director of Athletics, updated the Committee on the history of how the CPS logos on the Withrow High School gym floor originated. The CPS logo is currently applied to the center court as well as lettering at each end of the court.

The Committee and Withrow’s Principal, Sharon Johnson, agreed with applying the paw print at center court and maintaining the current CPS logos at each end of the court. The Committee will recommend approval of the tiger paw print at a Board meeting.

The Administration will advise the Committee if any other school has their own gym with their own logo and if anyone else uses Withrow’s gym as their own court.

Funding for the project will be provided by the Withrow Alumni Association.

FOR BOARD INFORMATION

Local School Decision Making Audit (LSDMC) Update Assistant Superintendent Tom Rothwell reviewed a draft of standards and rubrics that will be used to audit the effectiveness of each LSDMC. The draft plan contains the following standards:

1. Membership on LSDMC meets Board policy requirements; 2. LSDMC has approved by-laws; 3. LSDMC meets regularly with members present; 4. LSDMC develops and reviews the Vision and Mission statement for the school; 5. LSDMC assesses needs of school according to the school data; 6.

Mr. Rothwell will present the plan at the next Family and Civic Engagement Committee meeting and will conduct a pre- and post-test of the plan before implementation for the 2011-2012 school year.

Transportation Update

First Student Jim Ring, Senior Contract Manager for First Student, reported 100% results from the State of Ohio’s Department of Education’s audit that was conducted on 600 driver records and background checks.

May 25 415 2011

REPORT OF THE PARTNERSHIP/PUBLIC ENGAGEMENT COMMITTEE (cont.)

Mr. Ring reported the following service statics: Students  Year-to-date total students scheduled for transportation 3,383,123  Year-to-date total runs 245,779  Year-to-date total late buses 1,396  Year-to-date total on-time service 99.43%

Mr. Ring advised the Committee that additional training for monitors to help with Strides students and special needs students have been added, the Community Safe Call system for buses running late has been implemented and the re-routing of bus riders and walkers who were affected by the flooding was successful.

He also informed the Committee that there will be a regional transportation meeting in June to share best practices from the current year and there will be week-long customer service training for all dispatchers. Dry runs for real-time bus operations will take place one week prior to school for 2011-2012.

Metro Darryl Haley, Executive Director of Development for Metro, advised the Committee that they are ready to do a multi-year contract agreement for the coming year. More discussion on this will take place in a Finance Committee meeting.

Mr. Haley updated the group on options to control expenses and save dollars by using one system and procuring fare cards. Tracking reporting will be new and improved to track where particular students move to, when they move and who is using extracurricular passes.

Using new technology, a Computer Aided Dispatch (CAD)/Automatic Vehicle Location (AVL) system will provide real time on where buses are, when the next bus is coming and other schedule, traveler and route information. Google Transit is being tested for trip planning for Metro and TANK Systems.

Fare boxes will accept smart cards that will eliminate the need for exact change. Student IDs will have a smart chip on them that will determine what bus the students will need to catch and at what time. Dollar amounts of the cost to catch a bus will be loaded onto the cards. This technology may be up and running January 2012.

The Finance Committee may discuss renewal of the Metro contract at its meeting on May 18, 2011. The contract expires June 30, 2011.

Safe Routes To School Carmen Burks, Chair of Safe Routes to School, updated the Committee on the background of the program. The program is designed to improve the safety of children walking or biking to school and was first introduced at Rockdale Academy.

Ms. Burks also updated the Committee on promotional events, successes of the program, the current status, and challenges and opportunities of the program. A copy of the details of the update is attached.

Ms. Burks reported that a “kick-off” meeting with the Ohio Department of Education will take place on May 24, 2011 to help create a school-wide travel plan.

Committee Chair Parker advised the Administration to put together a transportation committee that will include appropriate stakeholders. The Committee will report to the PPE Committee.

Financial Communications Update Janet Walsh, Director of Public Affairs, updated the Committee on questions and answers that were generated at the March 14, 2011 Budget Stakeholder meeting. She also reviewed her 2011-12 Budget Communication Milestones with the Committee.

May 25 416 2011

REPORT OF THE PARTNERSHIP/PUBLIC ENGAGEMENT COMMITTEE (cont.)

The milestones consisted of: budget development presentations in the areas of budget landscape; fiscal responsibility: past, present and future; and stakeholder sharing sessions. Responses to questions and comments from the community were posted on the District’s website. (http://www.cps-k12.org/general/finances/Mar1411StakeQA.pdf) A Regional Forum on school funding, an announcement of the Superintendent’s staff position reductions in the 2011-2012 budget and future communications were part of her milestones.

United Way Endorsement Barbara Terry, Vice President, Community Impact at United Way of Greater Cincinnati, discussed with the Committee their Bold Goals for the region. The Bold Goals are in Education, Income, Health and the Building Blocks to a Better Life. There are three Goals in Education, one in Income and two in Health. The Bold Goals are available in detail at: http://www.uwgc.org/.

Committee Chair Parker would like for CPS to be amongst other organizations who have already endorsed the Goals. Endorsement of the Bold Goals reflects an organization’s intent to engage in a planned, intentional process.

The Committee assigned the Administration to review the Bold Goals and determine what it would mean for CPS to endorse them and how they would align with District goals and then submit a recommendation to the PPE Committee before a full Board discussion takes place. Janet Walsh will work with this initiative.

REPORT OF THE AUDIT COMMITTEE

The Audit Committee met on Thursday, May 12, 2011 at 4:30 PM at the Mayerson Academy, 2650 Highland Ave, 45219.

FOR BOARD INFORMATION

Best Practices in Federal Grants Administration Rebecca Ruckel, Director of Accounting and Grants Administration, updated the Committee on the school district of Philadelphia selecting CPS, along with five other large urban Districts, for use as a benchmark to help them identify best practices in Federal grants administration. CPS was selected because of its size and reputation for having effective policies and procedures to manage State and Federal grants.

A bench marking report will be issued that will include all five of the school Districts.

The Audit Committee recommended that a press release be announced due to CPS being regarded nationally as being effective in their policies and procedures upon managing grants.

Fiscal Year 2012 Audit Committee Meeting Dates The Internal Auditor (IA) proposed the following FY 2012 Audit Committee meeting dates:

 Thursday, August 8, 2011 at 4:30 PM  Thursday, November 17, 2011 at 4:30 PM  Thursday, February 9, 2012 at 4:30 PM  Thursday, May 10, 2012 at 4:30 PM

The Committee agreed with the dates and will recommend approval at the May 25, 2011 Board Meeting.

Internal Audit Wire/Automatic Clearing House (ACH) Transfer Review Michael Alao, Internal Auditor (IA), updated the Committee on the review of his evaluation of the wire transfer/ACH process to ensure that controls were adequate to safeguard the District’s assets.

The IA concluded that the controls surrounding the wire/ACH transfer process were satisfactory. Management implemented a process on February 22, 2011, whereby the Assistant Treasurer reviews weekly a summary of the wire/ACH transfers. This control, in addition to the segregation of duties between employees with the ability to initiate and approve wire transfers, is sufficient to ensure that District assets are adequately safeguarded. Further, testing of a random sample of wire/ACH transfers made during FY 2010 disclosed that all transfers were for proper public purpose.

Mr. Alao recommended that the District, which utilizes Fifth Third Direct, an internet-based transaction system, to initiate and authorize wire/ACH transfers, reduce the current $50 million daily wire/ACH transaction limit to a more reasonable amount. Mr. Alao noted that transfers during fiscal year 2010 ranged from $21.00 to $11.8 million, and that management could consider requiring the Treasurer or Assistant Treasurer approval for amounts above a certain threshold.

Teresa Johnson, Assistant Treasurer, agreed to evaluate the daily wire/ACH transaction limit set at $50 million, to decrease to a more reasonable amount and present the process at the June 2011 Finance Committee meeting.

ACH is a system of the U.S. Federal Reserve Bank that provides electronic funds transfer (EFT) between banks. It is used for all kinds of fund transfer transactions, including direct deposit of paychecks and monthly debits for routine payments to vendors. The ACH is separate and distinct from the various bank card networks that process credit card transactions.

Mr. Thomas and Ms. Indalecio reviewed the new Pay for Performance Teacher Evaluation System with the Committee. The below news release outlined the components of the system:

NEWS RELEASE PUBLIC AFFAIRS DEPARTMENT • (513) 363-0020 • FAX: (513) 363-0025

For Immediate Release, May 18, 2011

CPS, Teachers Craft Groundbreaking Evaluation System New Components Link Student Achievement to Advancement, Pay

Cincinnati Public Schools and the Cincinnati Federation of Teachers today announced agreement on their new Teacher Evaluation System, which, for the first time, links teacher advancement and pay to student achievement. It is believed to be the first teacher evaluation system in Ohio and among a handful nationwide to do so.

The new system – presented during a media briefing and at the Cincinnati Board of Education’s Committee of the Whole – features two newly designed evaluations, an Annual Evaluation and a Performance Review Evaluation. Under these evaluations, 50 percent of a teacher’s evaluation would be based on attainment of goals related to multiple measures of student growth, which could include standardized testing and other assessments of student progress. The remaining 50 percent would be based on observations.

A third evaluation, the district’s nationally recognized Comprehensive Evaluation, will be strengthened to include multiple measures of student growth and achievement. At more than half of the levels in a typical teacher’s career, positive evaluations would be required to receive pay increments.

May 25 421 2011

REPORT OF THE COMMITTEE OF THE WHOLE (cont.)

“This is a landmark agreement for Cincinnati Public Schools and one that I believe will improve teaching and learning in our community,” said Superintendent Mary Ronan. “Once again, Cincinnati is a national leader in advancing teacher professionalism, thanks to our longstanding commitment to collaboration.”

CFT President Julie Sellers also praised the joint efforts of teachers and administrators in reaching the historic agreement. “Through collaboration, we have developed an evaluation system that incorporates student learning while being fair to teachers,” Sellers said.

A memorandum of understanding between the CFT and the district as part of the new teachers’ contract reached in December 2010 paved the way for the agreement and a yearlong district-wide pilot of the new system next school year.

New components of the system include:

Annual Evaluation – The Annual Evaluation occurs every year except those in which a Performance Review Evaluation or Comprehensive Evaluation are conducted. It has been made more rigorous by the addition of the inclusion of a structured conference between the principal and teacher at which two goals are developed based on student growth and achievement, and a checklist of professional responsibilities through which the principal identifies any areas of concern throughout the school year.

Performance Review Evaluation – More demanding than the Annual Evaluation, the Performance Review Evaluation is tied to salary increments at 11 new performance levels (evaluation years) in a teacher’s career. This evaluation includes a reflective paper submitted by the teacher to the principal identifying an area of concentration for the year; three goals for the year related to student achievement, including one set by the district; and two observations. At the end of the year, the teacher revisits the reflective paper, analyzes the school year, and reports upon progress, which is reviewed with the principal as a component of the evaluation. The Comprehensive Evaluation – completed every five years, at levels 16, 21, and 26, and prior to granting a continuing contract – remains the most extensive form of evaluation. Multiple measures of student growth, achievement and performance will be added to the existing comprehensive evaluation standards. Successful completion of this evaluation will be linked to teacher advancement and pay. Following the pilot of the new system in the 2011-12 school year, the experience will be reviewed to determine if any revisions are needed.

A copy of the Teacher Evaluation System presentation is available in the Board office. iObservation Kathleen Hofmann updated the Committee on iObservation. The program is an online performance management and growth system that can be used for supervising and supporting effective teaching in the classroom. It is a combination of research- based frameworks, professional development, and supporting technology to increase teacher and leadership effectiveness. The program can be customized to fit District needs and will be funded through Race to the Top dollar

More information about the program can be located electronically at http://www.iobservation.com/

Projects for House Bill 264 Phase 2 Ron Kull, Owner’s Authorized Representative, GBBN

Melanie Fry of Turner Construction updated the Committee on the status of Phase 1 and 2 of House Bill 264. The report highlights information facility upgrades, budgets, proposed building renovations, quick-payback energy savings, financial summaries and next steps.

A copy of the presentation is available in the Board office.

May 25 422 2011

REPORT OF THE COMMITTEE OF THE WHOLE (cont.)

Options for Additional Space at Fairview Ron Kull advised the Committee that after exploration of the following options to add capacity at Fairview/Clifton school:

1. The Clifton Arts Center; 2. The Annunciation Elementary School; 3. The Coach House located on the school lot; 4. Addition of a Modular at the school;

It was determined that the options were not viable. The only possibility would be to put Modulars on the school site, which would cause variance zoning problems, landscape problems and building code issues. The Modulars would cost over $400,000.00 per unit.

The Committee thanked the facilities department for their work and agreed to not move forward at this time.

The meeting adjourned at 1:18 PM.

President Bolton moved that the Report of the Committee of the Whole be accepted.

Passed viva voce.

President Bolton declared the motion carried.

REPORT OF THE FINANCE COMMITTEE

The Finance Committee met on Wednesday, May 18, 2011 at 4:30 PM at the Mayerson Academy, 2650 Highland Avenue, Cincinnati, Ohio 45219.

FOR BOARD INFORMATION

United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) Mandated Lunch Price Increase FY2011 Effective July 1, 2011, section 205 of the Healthy, Hunger-Free Kids Act of 2010 requires school food authorities (SFAs) participating in the National School Lunch Program to provide the same level of support for lunches served to student who are not eligible for free or reduced price lunches (i.e., paid lunches) as they are for lunches served to students eligible for free lunches.

Jessica Shelly, Food Services Manager, advised the Committee that CPS must raise the cost of the full-paid meal price until the cost to the students reaches compliance which calls for an average increase between elementary and secondary price of $0.05 each. Currently, the elementary full-paid meal price is $1.75 and the secondary full-paid meal price is $2.00. Food Services is proposing no increase in full-paid lunch prices in the secondary schools and a $0.10 increase in the full-paid lunch prices for the elementary schools to $1.85. This will satisfy the Federal requirement for Section 205-Equity in Pricing. More information about the lunch pricing can be located on the below links:
