Update from the Property Tax Working Group Chairperson Bolton reported that Vice Mayor Smitherman did acknowledge receipt of the Board’s letter regarding the abatement negotiations and would follow up. She also reported that the City, during the question and answer portion of the meeting, stated that actually monitoring residential and commercial abatements after they are enacted is difficult due to the size of department staff.
A strong presentation was made regarding the processes for applying for commercial abatements and the less complex process for residential abatements.
CRA Revenues Collected
August 26 972 2019
REPORT OF THE FINANCE COMMITTEE (cont.)
Update from the Property Tax Working Group (cont.)
Mr. Tyahur noted the following about FY18 and the significant change in revenues for Fiscal Year 2019:
*FY18 revenues include the CRA audit performed that year where retro amounts were received. FY19 revenues include the $9.3 million FCC PILOT payment.
Mr. Tyahur reported that the majority of the CRAs not collected for Fiscal Year 2020 are for Cincinnati Development I, LLC, which accounts for 76 percent of the outstanding CRA amounts still needing to be collected.
Preliminary Discussion and Follow Up Regarding Imagination Library Treasurer Wagner reported that she has financial concerns and that the initiative is not a “public purpose.”
She also reported that there are no revenue streams to support the program. The State Foundation payments support K-12 and preschool disabilities, and tax levies have been approved for K-12 students and preschool.
Mrs. Wagner expressed concern about guaranteeing that students using the tool would be CPS students, and that there is not a $640,000 line item to support the project.
Mrs. Wagner stated that Board Member Mike Moroski is reconsidering and will support CPS’ three-, four-, and five-year old students. Treasurer Wagner will speak with the Superintendent about including the initiative in the next budget cycle.
Mr. Messer recommended engaging with families as soon as children are born. He stated to, “Get customer lock-in early.” He also discussed Cincinnati Public Schools having enrollment applications available at the hospitals as soon as children are born. Committee member Bates recommended to have preschool applications available at the time of birth.
August 26 973 2019
REPORT OF THE FINANCE COMMITTEE (cont.)
Preliminary Discussion and Follow Up Regarding Imagination Library (cont.)
Treasurer Wagner recommended that a growth marketing plan be developed.
Ms. Bolton advised to think of this as a marketing piece and a way to build better relationships with other providers.
Superintendent Mitchell expressed concern about the need for an evaluation to show a direct correlation between a six-month old getting a book, to them being preschool and kindergarten ready.
She also expressed concern about investing $600,000 for children who may not attend CPS and not being able to tie the initiative to children being kindergarten ready.
Mrs. Mitchell is in favor of exploring opportunities on how to connect with families and pediatrician offices before children are preschool ready.
Capital Monies Available for Expansion and Facilities and Properties Inventory Preliminary Discussion Kevin Ashley, the District’s new Director of Financial Reporting, will be working on the financial piece and will have a completion date after meeting with David J. Conley, Owner, Managing Partner of Rockmill Financial Consulting.
Superintendent Mitchell reported that General Counsel Hoying has provided her with information about the properties inventory. She will provide this information to the Committee in the form of a memo the week of August 19, 2019.
ACTION: An update about the capital monies and properties inventory will be provided at the September 19, 2019 Finance Committee meeting.

August 26 974 2019
REPORT OF THE FINANCE COMMITTEE (cont.)
CPP(Cincinnati Preschool Promise) Preschool Finances (cont.)
Mr. Polanco reported that CPP’s policy requires unspent funds be returned back to the District. The below chart contains the following information that explains how unspent funds revert back to the District.
CPP Unspent Funds Policy, part 8.3. requires return of unspent funds if over 10% "If the total of Carryover Funds represents 10.0% or more of the total CPP budget for said fiscal year, the Carryover Funds will revert to Cincinnati Public Schools (CPS}. CPS shall keep the reverted funds segregated in the same way as other tax levy funds received by CPS and to be used for preschool expansion. Said funds shall be allocated between CPP and CPS for future preschool expansion spending using the same process as was used to split preschool expansion funds between CPP and CPS during the most recent CPP budgeting cycle."
ACTION: This Unspent/Carryover Funds Adjustment Report FY 2019 will be included in the August 26, 2019 Treasurer’s Report to authorize CPS to make the payments.
Mr. Polonco updated the Committee on the following Fiscal Year 20 Budget and discussed the following key changes that are outlined on the below chart.
1. TA = increases due to more children being served, 6% TA increase, Equalizing 3&4 Star Adjustment to 5 Star ( +$1,000k) 2. QI = increases due to more preschools being served and new spending categories being added (+$350k) 3. COQ = increases due to full year effect + new spending in 0-2 STAR (+$500k) 4. Program Expansion Contingency (+$500k) 5. Data & Enrollment Systems, Evaluation = increases due to timing of OSU/Crane payment (+$75k) 6. Communications & Outreach = increases due to increased use of new media (+$75k) 7. M&A General = increases due to Contingency (+$50k) 8. M&A - Staff Related = increases due to retention bonuses, salary increases, and fully staffed all year (+$125k) 9. UWGC Admin Fees= increases due to 1/2 year of UWGC fee not yet waived (+$100k)
Mr. Polonco reported that a program is being developed to help 0-2 Star providers. Information and parameters about the program are not available as of yet. Funding has been put into the budget for the initiative.

CPP(Cincinnati Preschool Promise) Preschool Finances (cont.)
Executive Search Ms. Westheimer updated the Committee on the status of the Executive Search and reported that the search committee will be submitting candidates by end of August 2019 to the CPP Board. Seven or eight candidates will be interviewed and then narrowed down to three or four. Vera Brooks, Interim Director of Early Childhood, reported that she, United Way and Promise Forward will sit in on the final interviews as observers to give feedback.
Per Pupil Value Proposed Increase; CPP Providers Funding Change Proposal; CPP Proposal for Modified Coaching (3, 4, 5 stars) Ms. Westheimer updated and presented the below Budget-Related Changes for the 2019/2020 School Year Report to the Committee. For the record
Her below report includes two items that would require changes to the Master Agreement. 1. A change to the formula that now pays only 75 percent of the cost of quality for three-star programs and 90 percent of the cost of quality to four-star programs. 2. A change to the prohibition of providing quality improvement coaching and training to any program with three, four, or five stars.
She also updated the Committee regarding equity issues having unintended consequences where providers are wanting to charge a copay to low income families for a seat for their preschoolers to help in the provider becoming a quality star rated provider.
For the record, Ms. Westheimer provided the following written statement:
August 26 976 2019
REPORT OF THE FINANCE COMMITTEE (cont.)
Cincinnati Preschool Promise Budget-Related Changes for the 2019/2020 School Year Report
This budget contains funding to address an equity issue that has arisen in the implementation of the Cincinnati Preschool Promise. We have adopted an equity policy that is modeled on the excellent policy adopted by the Cincinnati Board of Education.
The issue came to my attention because the reimbursement rate for Publicly Funded Child Care (child care payments for working families under 130% of poverty) increased in July (hooray!) making the Publicly Funded Child Care rate for three-star programs more than CPP pays. The providers are required by the state to charge at least as much to the families or other funders as they were paying, and so they asked to be able to pass the difference on to families - that is, requiring low-income families to make up the difference. This did not seem right to us.
So we looked further into the issues.
At three Stars a program must be implementing a curriculum that aligns with Ohio’s Early Learning and Development Standards, have written plans of activities that align to all developmental domains and ensure that all children receive a comprehensive developmental screening, among other requirements.
At four and five stars the teachers have truly embedded the skills and practices, and are able to demonstrate how they are implementing their continuous improvement plans.
But there are financial costs to achieving four or five stars - namely a lower child to staff ratio. If they serve fewer children than the state licensing laws permit, offer more staff supports like health benefits, and have teachers with higher credentials, they are awarded points that lead to a higher rating.
The school district and some of the large child care agencies have economies of scale that allow them to pay benefits, pay higher wages and to have lower child to staff ratios. The single site providers, largely African American businesses serving their neighborhood, struggle to meet these higher cost components of the star-rating system. We believe that some of the original Master Agreement provisions have inadvertently contributed to a growing inequity in our system.
We have eight preschool locations with 36 children at the 3 star level, and five preschool at the four-star level serving 71 children. That a total of 13 (or 26%) of our 50 sites, and 14% of the children served. With the exception of one YMCA site and two parochial schools, all the rest are minority owned or operated preschools.
When we reimburse for preschool at less than the cost of quality, we contribute to the challenge of getting to five stars.
What we have found out from our quality improvement coaches is that the number one reason a program applies to be a three star instead of five is the difficulty of finding and retaining enough qualified lead teachers. This, as you have heard on many occasions, I imagine, is the greatest crisis facing the community-based early learning and child care system. This challenge of finding qualified staff is growing at a rapid pace as more programs reach three to five stars, and as CPS expands. The problem of shortage of qualified teachers exists in every part of the community-based system - from large agencies to the single site programs
So, we now have more community-based high quality and more capacity in CPS. That is the really great news. But we must be extremely aware of the collateral challenges these advances are creating.

REPORT OF THE FINANCE COMMITTEE (cont.)
Cincinnati Preschool Promise Budget-Related Changes for the 2019/2020 School Year Report (cont.)
Thus, we are proposing two budget-related changes to the Master Agreement: 1. A change to the formula that now pays only 75% of the cost of quality for three-star programs and 90% of the cost of quality to four-star programs. We are proposing to pay the same rate to three-, four-, and five-star programs, eliminating the need for parents to incur a co-pay, and providing more resources for a program to improve. 2. A change to the prohibition of providing quality improvement coaching and training to any program with three, four, or five stars. If we want these programs to continue to improve, they need business coaching, as well as coaching to embed the newly acquired knowledge of curriculum and assessment. And we really must support long-time staff at these programs in getting their Child Development Associate credential, and other training that improves practice. That is our best change for having qualified teachers - growing from within.
The costs for these two changes, as well as the cost of increasing the reimbursement rate by 3% each year for the 2018/19 school year and the 2019/2020 school year (6% compounded) are embedded in this budget. Some of the CPP board members raised concerns about taking away the motivation for programs to improve if we pay the same rate for three, four and five stars. I contend that they will have a lot harder time improving if they are being paid less than the cost of quality, that they very much want to get to five stars and the best way to help them is with increasing the pool of qualified staff (via more CDA training for teachers and assistant teachers in all community-based programs) and with coaching to improve business and classroom practice.
The Chair again expressed concern about the CPP Board’s decision to go to 300 percent poverty. Ms. Westheimer suggested that this still a topic of review
Committee Chair Bolton asked how much within the CPP budget would CPS get back for the improvements or expansion of classrooms that the District may do. Mrs. Wagner will provide the Committee with an analysis.
The Committee stated that the District could re-envision preschool by providing full-day classes, re-envisioning transportation, and more walkable sites.
ACTION: The Committee recommended talking about envisioning preschool in a joint Board meeting with CPP.
ACTION: The Finance Committee referred CPP’s recommended budget changes to the Master Agreement to the full Board for discussion under Board Matters before a decision is made on how to move forward. Ms. Westhemier and Ms. Brooks will attend a Board meeting to update the Board on CPP’s request. The Finance Committee will then make a recommendation of moving forward with the request after hearing from the Administration and Ms. Westheimier. General Counsel possibly could suggest an addendum or amendment to the Master Agreement rather than re- opening the full agreement. Treasurer Wagner will delay the payment until the Board has addressed the request.
The Committee discussed that, once accepted, the amendment would get approved through the Treasurer’s Report.

Child Sexual Assault John Reeves, CPS parent, shared with the Committee his personal research on sexual/physical assault prevention. Upon his research he found CPS has a strong anti-bullying prevention program and a strong reporting program for all harassment. However, he felt it would benefit the District to enhance the anti-bullying policy by including an even stronger policy on sexual/physical assault.
Mr. Hoying reported that CPS Policy 2260.02 – Prohibition Against Harassment of Students and Staff details the prohibited conduct, as well as reporting requirements.
ACTION: General Counsel will meet with Deputy Superintendent Amat regarding what may or may not be done on sexual assault training.
ACTION: The Administration will get information on what the District is doing regarding sexual assault, and whether there are procedures that address concerns—hidden places, how addressing with students, etc.—and update the Committee at the September 19, 2019, Policy Committee meeting. Staff from the Curriculum Department will also be present.
The meeting adjourned at 12:44 PM.
