REPORT OF THE STUDENT ACHIEVEMENT COMMITTEE
The Student Achievement Committee (SAC) met on Friday, March 6, 2020, at 2:00 PM at the Cincinnati Public Schools Education Center in the Board Office Conference Room.
ATTENDEES Student Achievement Committee Members Chairperson Pamela Bowers, Ryan Messer, Mike Moroski, Paternity Leave Administration/Staff Tianay Amat, Deputy Superintendent; Amy Heimkreiter, Teacher, Woodford; Justin Leach, Director of Testing; Shauna Murphy, Assistant Superintendent Cincinnati Federation of Teachers (CFT) Community Members/Parents/Students Julie Sellers, President Tia Draper, Kate Eisenpress, Jen Eismeier, John Scott
School College Preparatory Program (SCPP) Test Update Justin Leach, Director of Testing, informed the Committee about the following information regarding Special College Preparatory Program (SCPP) test. The SCPP test is required for entrance into Walnut Hills and Dater High School's SCPP Program.
Mr. Leach provided the Committee with a chart of 6th-grade retesting results used for entry into Dater and Walnut Hills high schools. The District provides the test for 2nd- and 6th-grade students, with one re-take throughout the year. The Chart includes comparison data per school, from the 2018-2019 and 2019-2020 school years. The Chart shows data for students currently enrolled, students eligible and students out of district.
He reiterated that the results showed a lower number of students passing than last year due to an updated norm test from 2011 up to 2017. The drop is due to maintaining the old SCPP test for too long without updating it to the most recent norms.
Committee member Messer expressed concern about the eligibility drop in minority groups. Deputy Superintendent Amat mentioned that overall bias in testing, the change in norms, and availability of rigorous curriculums are factors that affect students being available to reach the eligibility scores. She also reported that CPS is working on making sure that all CPS students have access to a rigorous education.
A copy of the report is available in the Board office.

REPORT OF THE STUDENT ACHIEVEMENT COMMITTEE (cont.)
Senate Bill 216 – 3rd Grade Reading Justin Leach, Director of Testing, informed the Committee about the following information regarding SB216.
His below report focused on 3rd-grade ELA tests and the 3rd-Grade Alternate Assessments with a goal of getting further feedback and for a decision on the format of the 3rd-grade tests in 2020-2021.
He reported that in August 2018, the Ohio General Assembly passed Senate Bill 216 that was subsequently signed into law.
One of the provisions of SB216 gives school Districts an option to administer the 3rd–grade State tests in a paper format beginning in the 2019-2020 school year. In 2019-20, the consensus was to move to paper for the 3rd-Grade Ohio State Tests in ELA and Alternate Assessment.

Final Review of Board Bylaws
The Committee reviewed the bylaws and recommended the following revisions to the document. ADD: 0124 Graduations (A) The language will reference the conferring of diplomas or honors diplomas according to Ohio Revised Code 3313.61 Diploma or honors diploma. (B) When graduation schedules are announced, Board members will select their first and second choices. Ideally Board members will each have three graduations. Graduations should rotate amongst Board members so each Board member can experience each school’s graduation.
REVISE: 0142.1 The language will reference who can administer the Oath of Office according to Ohio Revised Codes 3313.10, R.C. 147.07 and R.C. 3.24.
The Committee reviewed the spreadsheet of each Committee’s responsibilities that are aligned to the Strategic Plan and expressed concern about Growth Measure 5.1 – Increase CPS market share by positioning it as the educational provider of choice and actively recruiting families to CPS schools being assigned to the Finance Committee and whether or not it should be addressed in the Student Achievement Committee.
ASSIGNMENT: The Committee could not come to a consensus as to what Committee is appropriate for review of Growth Measures.
The group will recommend to the Board to have the Administration advise the order of the five Growth Measures (5.1, 5.2, 5.3, 5.4); should the measures first be placed in the SAC to determine if there is capacity or in the Finance Committee to determine if there is funding.
Review of Policies and Presentation Outside of Standard Process The Committee reported that a process is needed for individuals who have been invited to present at Committee meetings. The goal is to make sure that topics received outside of the standard process are vetted through the Superintendent.
ASSIGNMENT: The Committee, at the March 16, 2020 Regular Business will discuss with the Board that topics not included in the approved Committee Workplans will be referred to the Superintendent to determine if the topic is pertinent to the work of the District’s Strategic Plan before being referred to a Board Committee.
