REPORT OF THE STUDENT ACHIEVEMENT COMMITTEE (cont.)
Discussion Regarding the Principles and Practices of Restorative Justice Student Achievement Committee
Deputy Superintendent Laura Mitchell and Assistant Superintendent Bill Myles reported that they met with Attorney Elaine Fink to discuss Restorative Justice and how it could fit into the District’s Vision 2020 and MyTomorrow initiatives. Mrs. Mitchell reported that Dr. Robert A. Schapiro, Director of the Child Abuse Team/Mayerson Center for Safe and Healthy Children, Cincinnati Children’s Hospital, does work in the area of trauma and Mr. Myles advised that Dr. Schapiro has worked with Student Services on the District’s Positive Behavior Intervention and Supports (PBIS) program and thought it would be good to include Restorative Justice.
Mrs. Mitchell reported that PBIS may not have the comprehensive impact that is needed on the present culture of the schools in the District; therefore, this would be a good time to consider Restorative Practices. Principal Battle at College Hill Fundamental has been using that term and approach to be more successful.
The Administrators agreed that due to the term “justice” relating to the penal system when it was first established, it would be better to consider the term “Principles of Restorative Practices.”
Mrs. Mitchell reported combining advisory, equity, growth mind-set and social-emotional with Restorative Practices could rebuild culture in the schools for students to be successful—academically and behaviorally.
She also reported that Restorative Justice uses a program called “circles” as a way of solving problems, which could be aligned with advisory. “Circles” allows restorative processes of mediation and provides a space for encounter among the individuals involved. Students and others that have been affected by the issue, including family members and the community, sit in circles to dialogue about the problem.
ACTION: Mrs. Mitchell proposed to the Committee that she will continue research on the program and identify and visit schools that are nationally recognized for their implementation of Restorative Practices, at all grade levels. She will then meet with those schools to assist the District in rolling out the program in a few of the District’s schools. ACTIONS: Committee member Minera advised the Administration to provide updates on what changes will be made as they move forward in implementing Restorative Practices.
Committee Chairperson Bolton advised that she would like to hear more about the Peace Education and Teaching Tolerance Curriculae that are being taught at the high schools, as well as peer mediation and conflict resolution.
Ms. Bolton also talked about the possibility of reinventing student government programs that exist at the schools to practice democratic, diverse and equitable processes.
Mrs. Mitchell informed the group that Dean Blase, Principal of Clark Montessori High School, and Monica Battle, Principal of College Hill Fundamental Academy, have both expressed an interest in Restorative Practices being available at their schools. Ms. Bolton advised to also consider James N. Gamble Montessori High School for the program. She also advised to include a school that would be considered not to change. Mr. Minera advised that Pleasant Hill Academy could also be a candidate for the program. CFT President Julie Sellers advised to consider Gilbert A. Dater High School for the program as well.
The Institute of Restorative Justice says that in schools the use of restorative practices has been shown to reliably reduce misbehavior, bullying, violence and crime among students and improve the overall climate for learning.
More information about Restorative Practices can be located at: http://www.iirp.edu/.

REPORT OF THE STUDENT ACHIEVEMENT COMMITTEE (cont.)
Discussion on the Relationship Between the District and District Sponsored Charter Schools Dan Hoying, General Counsel; Administration
Committee Chairperson Bolton informed the Committee that the discussion is to help the Board better understand the laws for relationships between the CPS District and CPS District Sponsored Charter Schools.
General Counsel Dan Hoying reported that law permits the District to be a sponsor for charter schools and the relationships are done through a sponsorship agreement that is executed between the sponsor and the school district. He reported that there are approximately 50 to 60 laws that the District would be required to follow, e.g., transparency, financial transactions, open meetings, public records, and issues related to students with disabilities. These requirements would be included in an approximately 80-page agreement with the District and the sponsored charter school, for example, and currently, Carpe Diem and the Lighthouse. Both of those schools have boards and must abide by the same agreement.
Dr. Lofton reported that the ODE provides the District an option of accepting those schools' test scores and there does not need to be mutual agreement on acceptance of the scores. He also reported that the District accepted the schools' test scores for school year 2014-2015, but did not for school year 2015-2016 based on those schools' data.
Ms. Bolton inquired if there was a limit to the number of sponsored charter schools that a District can secure. Dr. Lofton reported that ODE will inform the District on October 15 if they will grant permission for the District to continue sponsoring its current charter schools before granting approval for additional charters. The District will also receive a report card from ODE about the current charters. The report card is being released for all sponsored charter schools in Ohio.
Upon questioning from Committee members, Dr. Lofton reported that conversation has taken place about the District having the capacity to continue sponsoring District sponsored charter schools. He informed the Committee work needing to be done as a sponsor is overwhelming and additional assistance in managing the charters is needed. After a sponsorship meeting with ODE in December 2015 via Skype, and their request of voluminous information for the District’s sponsored charters, the Superintendent may consider contracting with Fordham Institute to provide oversight of the District’s current sponsored charter schools and a potential new District sponsored charter, Phalen Leadership Academies.
Dr. Lofton also reported that any entity overseeing the charters would be required to follow the same laws as the District.
The entity overseeing the District’s sponsored charter schools can end its contract according to contract agreements. The District can also terminate the contract if the District sponsored charter school does not meet or falls short of meeting performance indicators.
Dr. Lofton reported that 98 percent of Carpe Diem students live within the District's boundaries and students attending the school that live outside the District's boundaries are not financed by the District. They are instead financed by their home district.
ACTION: General Counsel will confirm that charter schools can draw geographic boundaries and give enrollment preference to students within that boundary. ACTION: The Administration will review the Lighthouse agreement to ensure it is in keeping with Carpe Diem and current Ohio law. ACTION: The Administration will update the full Board on the status of the District’s continuation of District-Sponsored schools after receipt of ODE’s report on October 15, 2016.
October 10 703 2016
REPORT OF THE STUDENT ACHIEVEMENT COMMITTEE (cont.)
Updated Version of the HET Report Regarding Staffing Yenetta Harper, Director of Teacher and Principal Development and Evaluation Bill Myles, Assistant Superintendent
Mrs. Harper informed the group that the District is required by the ODE to do a Local Equitable Access Plan. Local Equitable Access Planning is a process through which local educational agencies (LEAs) engage in planning to ensure that poor and minority students have equitable access to excellent educators. According to ODE, equitable access is to ensure that poor and minority students are educated by excellent educators at rates that are at least equal to the rates at which other students are educated by excellent educators. The plan is not completed and Ms. Harper is working with Hanover Group to discuss analysis to ensure collecting of accurate data and looking at root causes. The plan has been extended to be completed by November 15, 2016.
Mrs. Harper will be identifying if schools are listed based upon the poverty index. She will be looking at the number of non- HQTs, new teachers, least experienced, out-of-field and out-of-licensed teachers in the high poverty schools. She is also learning that the numbers do not always fall in the high poverty schools.
Ms. Harper reported that the District passed its Highly Qualified Teacher (HGT) audit in 2015 and the corrective budget decreased from last year.
ACTION: The SAC will discuss at its October 24, 2016 meeting ODE’s Executive Summary: Ohio’s 2015 Plan to Ensure Equitable Access to Excellent Educators, which was provided at the May 23, 2016 SAC meeting. ACTION: The Committee discussed long-term subs and the Administration will provide the group with a list of long-term subs at the school buildings and discuss at the October 24 meeting. ACTION: The Administration will provide data on how student growth is affected by being taught by HQTs. ACTION: Ms. Harper will update the Committee on her Local Equitable Access Plan at the November 14, 2016 SAC meeting.
Update Regarding Preschool Enrollment by Site: Are We Meeting the Demand? Cheryl Broadnax, Assistant Superintendent
Mrs. Broadnax provided and reviewed with the Committee an Early Childhood Education Request for Service report that contained schools that have completed enrollment forms for interest in preschool programming. The report includes a list of schools that have a waiting list for preschool enrollment. Some schools on the list are schools where parents requested information about future magnet preschool enrollment.
There are currently 375 families on the list for requests of preschool service. Please find attached a copy of the list. Mrs. Broadnax reported that there is still a challenge of matching up needs with space availability. She also reported that the Community Action Agency is offering preschool at its location. Mrs. Broadnax reported that the District has added over 400 preschool seats.
Mrs. Hoffman recommended considering having preschool at the Welcome School location. There would be a challenge with outside play area due to the structure of the building.
Committee Chairperson Bolton advised the Administration to hang banners on the front of our buildings advertising Five-Star Preschool located in the school or building.

REPORT OF THE STUDENT ACHIEVEMENT COMMITTEE (cont.)
Update on Monies Budgeted for Parent Engagement: Amounts and Source and Given Increasing Demands, is it Enough and is it Time to Invest More General Fund Dollars? Bill Myles, Assistant Superintendent
Mr. Myles reported that 400,000 of Title I dollars have been set aside for Parent Engagement and funds for parent engagement are being built into dollars with the Vision 2020 Plan and MyTomorrow budgets. This would be additional dollars for engagement.
Mrs. Mitchell and Mr. Myles attended a conference with resource coordinators and principals and they will be working on a communication plan on how to engage parents and the community. The both will also be reviewing the application that includes a budget on how they will engage the community.
Committee Chairperson Bolton inquired about the amount of funding for Leadership Scholars and Mr. Myles reported that they received $32,500 for parent engagement. Ms. Bolton inquired about confusion on how many dollars have been budgeted for Leadership Scholars.
ACTION: Mr. Myles will investigate and report to the Committee the monies appropriated to Leadership Scholars and Parents for Public Schools, because in the budget presentations it was understood that the FY16 amounts would be at least the same in FY17. ACTION: Mrs. Hoffman inquired about investments in parent engagement and how effective it is in the schools. Mr. Myles will provide a report on what engagement is taking place in the District at the October 24, 2016 SAC meeting. ACTION: Committee member Minera advised the Administration to make sure that funds being given to our partners, that those partners are held accountable to the District’s goals, and Vision 2020.
Update on Schedule E: $250,000 and Other Issues Bill Myles, Assistant Superintendent, Julie Sellers, CFT President
An issue that has been brought to the Administration by the Board for at least four years is the use of Schedule E funds for technology staff or testing coordinators. Schedule E monies should directly impact students.
Another issue is that if schools have no athletics, their share of the Schedule E monies is severely reduced.
Committee Chairperson Bolton reported that all Schedule E monies should be evaluated this year to determine the impact of those programs.
A review of how many multiple Schedule E contracts are held by only one person in schools is another issue.
ACTION: At the October 24, 2016, SAC meeting, Mr. Myles will provide a presentation on Schedule E and invite Activities Beyond the Classroom (ABC) Director Brian Leshner to attend. This report should include: dollars provided by the District to ABC; dollars raised by ABC; and how many individuals have multiple contracts. Also, ABC has become a 21st-century grantee—how has that impacted their primary mission. ACTION: Ms. Bolton recommended that a grants calendar be created.
October 10 705 2016
REPORT OF THE STUDENT ACHIEVEMENT COMMITTEE (cont.)
Update on the Review of High School Start Times Laura Mitchell, Deputy Superintendent
Mrs. Mitchell provided the Committee with a report of high school start times and reported that six have a start-time of 8:40 a.m. or later. The other schools start at 7:30 a.m. She also reported that in the past, changes to earlier start times were tried, but major concerns came from the school community.
Deputy Superintendent Mitchell reported that Clark and Aiken expressed interest in changing their school start times. There could be an issue with changing Aiken’s start time as it would clash with Carpe Diem’s start time.
Ms. Bolton recommended asking school communities about their interest in changing their start-times. Mrs. Hoffman recommended a start-time of 8:30 a.m, if that time is supported by research.
ACTION: Mrs. Hoffman advised the Committee to look at what other districts have done to make later start times work, speak with parents, and find out how the change would affect extra-curriculars. Mr. Minera advised to look at the City’s traffic schedule. The City will need to be involved to discuss routes.
ACTION: The Administration will inquire about high schools that may be interested in starting later.
Other Business
Student Forms Committee member Hoffman expressed concern about the many forms and possible duplicate forms being sent home to parents.
ACTION: The Administration will follow-up on the forms and report back to the Committee.
Mobility The Committee will add mobility to their October 24, 2016 agenda for discussion.
The meeting adjourned at 1:37 PM.

REPORT OF THE PARTNERSHIP/PUBLIC ENGAGEMENT COMMITTEE OF THE WHOLE
The Partnership/Public Engagement Committee of the Whole met on Wednesday, October 5, 2016 at 11:30 AM at the Cincinnati Public Schools Education Center in the Conference Room 1A.
Discussion: Policy 5120 – Assignment Within District Dan Hoying, General Counsel
Mr. Hoying informed the Committee that review of the policy is to ensure equity in admissions and enrollment, increase transparency and clarity, and to ensure that the policies are customer friendly, consistent and aligned to each other.
The Committee discussed the policy and advised the Policy Committee to include language about the Policy only applying to Pre-K-6 grades and revise language that talks about the Board reviewing school attendance on an annual basis, to language that supports reviewing school attendance on an ongoing, as-needed basis. The Committee will look at all enrollment practices upon its review. Treasurer Wagner advised the Committee to be mindful when making changes, and do it before the first application cycle begins.
Board Member Minera expressed concern about language around students being enrolled outside of families' neighborhood attendance areas, and transportation may or may not be available, and if there needs to be a process on when transportation is or is not available.
ACTIONS: The Policy Committee will revise language about the annual review of attendance areas, as well as clarify that this policy only applies to grades K-6 and that a lottery will be used if there are more applications than seats.

Mrs. Hoffman will assign the Administration to report how school social workers are assigned. Mrs. Jones discussed the challenge for many families to get students to school on time and the need for resources to assist parents in this effort. Ms. Bolton will advise the Administration to consider dollars for an Attendance Officer to help with attendance at the schools. 4. Mrs. Hoffman asked the Student Achievement Committee to circle back to their discussions about mobility. During the next discussion, she asked to hear more about what is being done and what more could be done. She also asked that the Committee consider what kinds of disaggregated data reports the District could provide to schools with high mobility to better inform teachers and administrators of their students' progress. 5. Board President Dansby informed the Board upon touring schools to keep in mind that challenges they learn about at the school may have already been addressed, or difficult to address. Board Member Minera informed the group that Community Learning Centers (CLCs) and LSDMCs’ should be working together in solving issues that arise at school level. Mr. Minera will assign the Administration to make sure that Administrators, CLCs, LSDMCs and Resource Coordinators are working and functioning within each school CLC’s purpose and meeting set goals. 6.

The digital divide, or the gap between students who have access to technology and those who don't, is widening. However, schools and programs, such as the Digital Curriculum through My Tomorrow at Cincinnati Public Schools, are working to close that gap.
