Tonight, we've also got the distinct honor of

014recognizing an individual whose career is a testament to unwavering dedication, selfless service, and a profound impact on our community. Our honore graduated from GRC High School in and that very September answered the call to serve our nation by joining the US Army. After two years of service, he brought his commitment to of to duty to Winchester Police Department, starting out as a dispatcher in 1982. Just two years later, in 1984, he became a sworn officer, embarking on a path that would see him excel in various roles from street patrol to becoming a vital dare instructor. His leadership qualities were recognized with a promotion to sergeant. Beyond his official duties, our honore has been a cornerstone of the community through their incredible 32-year involvement with the FOP Lodge 34 as the vice president and he also

After retiring from the Winchester Police Department in 2001, his commitment to public safety continued, transitioning to the Clark County School System as a special law enforcement officer in December of that year. His vision and leadership quickly became apparent, leading to a promotion to director just four years later. Starting as the fourth officer in a small team, they spearheaded the growth of the school's law enforcement presence. building it to an impressive 11 officers. But his greatest achievement and perhaps the culmination of his distinguished career came on January 10th, 2023 under superintendent Dustin Howard's leadership. of the Clark County School System was granted its own police department and our honore was rightfully named the chief of the Clark County Schools Police Department,

And on the motion of Senator Greg Elkins is hereby deemed this honorable body's most worthy of its recognition and that is signed by President Robert Styver and myself. Dustin, congratulations. Can you guys come up and pick

019with me real quick? Just get a picture. [Music] All right, here we go. Thank you. I don't think anybody knew it was coming. So, I appreciate the opportunity to give provide a legislative update on the 2025 session. As you know, it was a short session and typically that means we don't take up a lot of big issues. And I didn't really realize that we did until I started going through all the bills that we had passed and singling out which ones pertain to education. There were a lot of other bills that that we dealt with. Uh we dealt with bills that were dealt with reigning in some of the various agencies across the Commonwealth. Uh we expanded on plans to develop nuclear energy in the Commonwealth of Kentucky. We're we're trending towards uh nuclear energy

020production in the next 20 years. We're uh doing a study with the University of Kentucky Applied Sciences Division to to develop that program. We've passed legislation on drone surveillance, cannabis infused drinks. I didn't even know there was such a thing as what we call weed water. But I learned about weed water this past session. But what I wanted to dive into or to drill down into just a little bit are some of the uh bills that we passed this year that have to do with education. Uh so I will begin with Senate bill and I'll start with the Senate bills because that that's what I'm most familiar with. A lot of House bills I don't study them. I kind of learn what they're going to do supposed to do and then take a vote on

021the Senate bills. I usually know them inside and out what they do or are intended to do. Senate bill three was a Senator Mike Wiser's bill that updated Kucky's name, image, and likeness laws to align with expanded House versus NCAA settlement, ensuring the state universities remain competitive with schools nationwide. The bill allows student athletes to enter into agreements with universities to or affiliated organizations for direct compensation. Senate bill four was Amanda Med Amanda Bledso's bill. Uh it established comprehensive policies for responsible use of artificial intelligence in Kucky's government. It defined key AI terms, created AI governance committee and task force task the Commonwealth Office of Technology with setting ethical and transparent policies. The bill emphasizes public disclosure, employee training, and data privacy protections. It also addresses AI's role in elections by regulating synthetic media and

022prohibiting deceptive AI generated content in political messaging. That is becoming more and more of a problem. Uh AI is a very good thing, but it also can be a very bad thing if we don't if we're not careful with it. We're also keeping a pretty close eye on federal uh legislation or regulations that deal with artificial intelligence going forward. Senate Bill 9 strengthens the financial stability of the Kentucky teachers retirement system by standardizing school district leave policies, addressing pension disparities and enhancing transparency. The bill requires all school districts to offer paid maternity leave by year 2030 and caps pensionable leave at 13 days per year, 10 sick days and three personal days, preserving previously acred benefits. TRS must now report sick leave liabilities in actuarial var val valuations and the state auditor will conduct a

023special audit. Additional provisions include housekeeping measures requested by the TRS and adding employees of we CS which supports computer science instruction to the TRS membership. The legislation follows a public pension oversight board review revealing over 800 million in unaccountable liabilities, prompting reform to protect long-term sustainability while honoring pension promises. Senate Bill 19 requires a daily one or two minute moment of silence in Kentucky uh public schools, giving students time to reflect, pray, or mediate quietly without staff influence. Students must remain seated and silent and parents will be notified and encouraged to guide how the child uses this time. And this is as as we as we uh contemplate these bills and look at them, Dustin will tell you, he is one of my go-to guys that I'll tag a lot of time from the Senate

024floor and say, "Dustin, pull this bill up real quick and read it. Tell me what you think about it." This was one of those bills that he and I talked about. I had some issues with the bill and the way it was crafted. Uh, and Dustin did some research on it and found that most of that bill was already legislation anyway. The one to two minutes was not, but the other half of it that was. So, it it allowed me the ability to vote on it. Uh the governor actually vetoed that bill objecting to the seating requirement and uh the use of the term moral instruction, but the general assembly maintained law is neutral, practical, and respectful of students rights while trusting teachers to manage the brief observance. Senate bill 68 reforms Kentucky public school

025standards and administrative requirements by emphasizing critical and independent thinking, high academic achievement, and expanding career and technical education within the curriculum. It clarifies that school boards serve as tax livinging authorities requiring district budgets to be published like school finance reports. Senate Bill 73 creates a new criminal law against sexual extortion, enhances victim protections, and increases public awareness through education and resource access. According to the FBI, sexual extortion of our children is the fastest growing crime as it pertains to children in the United States today. Senate Bill 73 will establish clear legal consequences for perpetrators, civil remedies for victims, and preventative measures for schools and communities. It is a very important piece of legislation that clarifies that sexual extortion is a felony with enhanced penalties for threats, prior offenses, authority figures, weapons use, or harm to

026minors. It also distinguishes between the felony events involving explicit images and misdemeanor threats without images to prevent unintended consequences. Senate bill 77 updates the membership qualification of the education professional standard board which sets standards for teacher certification in Kentucky. The bill aims to ensure broader representation from independent not for-profit colleges and universities. Additionally, it empowers the council on post-secary education to evaluate additional academic offerings and consider proposals for new doctoral programs submitted by comprehensive universities such as PhD programs, veterinary medicine or osteopathic programs. Provide that universities meet additional performance criteria. Doctoral programs that do not require state funding may be approved by the CPU. Senate Bill 87 strengthens Kucky's aviation industry by streamlining procurement for major commercial airports, increasing safety measures, and expanding workforce development opportunities. Additionally, it directs the council on postsecary education to

027study the creation of an FAA recognized air traffic controller safety program at Kentucky University with a timeline for implementation. Meaning we will uh in Kentucky be one of I think only two states that trains federal aviation uh air traffic controllers. And I think that's a place where we in air traffic in Commonwealth Kentucky is a place that I think you'll see a lot more legislation going forward as it uh pertains to air traffic and expanding their economic development opportunities there. Senate Bill 100 strengthens enforcement against underage vaping and teen sales by requiring all tobacco vape retailers to obtain a state license through the Kentucky Department of Alcohol Beverage and Control. The bill grants the ABC enforcement authority, including unannounced compliance inspection and opposes escalating fines and license revocation for repeat violations. Add additionally, it increases

028penalties for unauthorized sales and bans on the sale of distribution of nitrous oxide products to anyone under 21 years of age. So, I had a group from GRC and uh Frederick Doug Douglas come to my office and talked about underage vaping. We talked about it just a little bit and I said, "Well, you know, they brought a story of 12 and 13 year olds acquiring these bait products and using them." And I was talking to the students and I said, "But that doesn't really happen, does it? At least not in Clark County." And they said, "Oh yeah, there's a store where a 13-year-old can walk in and buy a bake product." And I said, "There is a store or every store?" They said, "Well, there's a store. There's a store in Clark County where you

029can go in and buy that." So that that I remember that from being 16 17 trying to buy alcohol when I was a boy and there was a store that we can go buy beer at 15 years old. So I believed them when they told me there's a store where they can buy vape products under age of 12. So I think that was a good piece of legislation and one that hopefully does what we intended it to do. Senate Bill 120 enhances student athlete protections by requiring coaches and school staff to complete training on recognizing and reporting abuse. The bill mandates that athletic that athletic consent form include clear instructions on how students can report abuse and empowering them with important information. It also requires schools to post child labor laws to inform students and

030parents of their rights. Senate Bill 136 modernizes Kucky's vehicle registration system to ensure fair insurance valuations for total vehicles and expands the access to real IDs. But the bill also expands Kucky's state police drivers testing pilot program to 10 counties. I personally hope the pilot program is wildly successful because I think it's too difficult now to take your driver's test. Uh so I'm very much in support of the pilot program and I hope we can expand that and get it back to I don't know. Used to do it 120 counties and I'd like to get back to that again someday. Senate Bill 169 strengthens law enforcement's ability to investigate child exploitation, harassment, and stalking into digital aid by modernizing administrative subpoena authority. The bill expands the attorney general and the Kentucky State Police Commissioner's ability

031to issue administrative subpoenas for digital records in case in cases involving these crimes, allowing access to certain records from internet providers, social networks, mobile payment services, and cloud storage providers to help identify offenders. However, the bill does maintain due process protections by requiring a warrant for more sensitive data such as emails, passwords, and account content. Senate Bill 178 reorganizes the education labor cabinet to enhance vocational rehabilitation apprenticeship services and workforce recruitment. It's that's another one of those bills that hopefully will uh continue to develop our workforce in in Commonwealth Kentucky and make an easier transition from high school or vocational school into the workforce. Senate Bill 181 is a bill that establishes traceable communication system for school district employees and volunteers to use when communicating electronically with students. Each local board of education must designate

032one or more approved programs or applications as the exclusive electronic communication means though parents may provide written consent for alternative methods. Senate Bill 207 known as the school innovation act. This legislation creates a waiver process through the Kentucky Board of Education to allow public schools to adopt innovative instructional strategies, particularly in struggling districts. Senate Joint Resolution 55 directs the governing board of postsecary education institutions to adopt policies to combat anti-semitism. Senate concurrent resolution 43 expressed the general assembly support for the crisis recovery support network coordinating with the Southern Regional Education Board. The network provides long-term counseling support to schools, districts, and post-secondary institutions recovering from natural disasters, school shootings, and other crisises, focusing on rural areas lacking those resources by adopting Senate current resolution 43. The General Assembly affirms its commitment to students and educators

033well-being by recognizing the network as a trusted resource for crisis recovery. So, as you can see, there are a lot of Senate bills that were taken up for education. Uh, so I'll I'll get into some of the House bills. One of the House bills that we took up that we like to say is the most important piece of legislation, doesn't necessarily have to do with education, was House Bill 1, which reduced further the Kentucky state income tax from 4% to 3.5% beginning January 1, 2026. That will leave an additional $718 million in Kentucky taxpayer pockets throughout the each fiscal year going forward. House Bill 4 prohibits the Kucky's public university from funding DEI programs initiative and requires the closure of DEI offices and positions and positions by June the 30th. It prevents institutions from influencing

034admin administration hiring scholarships and campus programs based on race, religion, sex, color, or national origin. House Bill 4 also prohibits public universities from requiring diversity statements on applications for employment, promotion, contracts, contract renewal, admission, housing, financial aid, or scholarships. House Bill 15 lowers the minimum age for driving. And although this isn't educational, your students certainly care about it to 15 years of age rather than uh 16. And it does say the permit holders must maintain it for 180 days and be 16 years of age before advancing to an intermediate license. House Bill 54 allows dual credit students in trade programs to count on the job training hours for internships and cooperative placement towards lensure requirements for professions regulated by the department of housing buildings and construction including electricians, plumbers, and HVAC technicians. House Bill 132

035addresses a gap in funding for schools, providing instruction to students in impatient medical facilities and assures schools can receive funding for students receiving home or hospital instruction in inpatient facilities starting on the first day of admission. It allows students to access instruction immediately while keeping existing documentation requirements in place. House Bill 190 requires local school boards to create accelerated learning plans with advanced coursework options for academically exceptional high school students. The measure mandates automatic enrollment of high achieving students into advanced courses barring removal without parental consent. House Bill 193 streamlines Kucky's dual credit more credit scholarship program by consolidating them into a single statute. The bill simplifies administration for schools, colleges, and state agencies while ensuring students have clear access to available opportunities. House Bill 208 requires local school boards to prohibit students use of

036personal telecommunication devices during instruction time with exception for teacher authorized use. It mandates that school internet network block access to social media platforms. That's what we call the cell phone bill. Other words, House Bill 240 strengthens early literacy by requiring a universal reading screener for kindergarten students in the last 10 school days beginning in the 2025 2026 school year. Students who do not meet reading benchmark may be retained in kindergarten or remain in the first grade for an additional year. Students turning seven by August 1 are exempt from kindergarten retention. House Bill 241 exp grants flexibility for Kentucky school districts by addressing virtual learning and lost instructional days. It allows the education commissioner to grant up to five additional NTI days for districts facing closure due to weather, illness, disasters district can extend school days

037up to 7 hours to meet the 1,62-hour requirement in fewer than 170 days. So I had of the five superintendents in my district, I had a uh some superintendents who wanted more days, I had some superintendents who wanted more hours and this bill gave each of them what they wanted. So they pick and choose what they needed. I think it was a good compromise and and it was Dustin, if I remember correctly, that's just one year, right? that that was just last year. So get tops up. House Bill 242 would grant research institutions access to state child welfare statistics to better monitor and maintain child welfare systems. It would also grant bonafideed research to research institutions, child dependency, neglect and abuse report and data for research, quality improvement or evaluation. House Bill 251 strengthens oversight

038for Kentucky teachers preparation programs by transferring full administrative authority to the Council on Secondary Education to the Education Professional Standards Board. House Bill 298 reforms the process for identifying and supporting schools needing comprehensive support and improvement CSI. the requirement. It requires annual CSR reviews, gives superintendent the flexibility in forming turnaround teams, and mandates evidence-based instruction and curriculum. House Bill 303 creates academic and career pathways to help military health care professionals transition into civilian healthcare roles. It allows colleges to offer bridge programs that credit military training, reducing the time to earn their credentials. House Bill 305 expands the healthcare training scholarship program to include licensed physicians, assistant dieticians, and nutritionists. It also prohibits employment restrictions for scholarship recipients enrolled in state registration nurses aid program. Those changes aim to broaden access to healthcare training. House Bill

039342 requires high school students entering the 9th grade in 2020 2022 26 2027 school year or later to complete one credit hour in financial literacy as a graduation requirement. Course must include instruction on reviewing documents critically and providing a cursive signature. So, there are numerous other uh leg pieces of legislation that dealt with education, but I kind of wanted to give you just an update on some of the most important ones or what I felt were the most important ones and then offer you the ability to ask questions because I know a lot of this legislation directly impacts you and what you do. Uh, and we're not lost on that in Frankfurt as we take up legislation. That's why I often will reach out to one, two, or three of my superintendent and ask them

040their opinion on legislation as we're considering. And I'll take what these gentlemen tell me. Uh, in my case, it's three gentlemen that I reach out to and I'll take what they tell me and I'll vote yes or no on bill based on what they tell me because their boots on the ground. Uh, the superintendent see things I could never see. They know things I could never know. So, I have to take their word for it and I appreciate the advice that I get from them and the counsel that I get from them. I don't always sometimes I get different opinions from superintendents because you have larger school districts and smaller school districts and and some bills don't satisfy both. So, I have to then make a decision on which one I think I have to

041weigh it out and see which one I think does the most good. So, it's not always cut and dry. It's not always easy, but I appreciate Dustin's support and I appreciate you guys allowing me to come here and give these updates every year after session. It's important. It provides a degree of transparency. I want you to know what we do in Frankfurt, why we do it. And so that's the reason that I'm here tonight. I would like to answer questions if you have any. As they say, seeing none, Uh, I will entertain a motion and sit down. Thank you for coming. Thank you for having me. I appreciate it very very much. You guys have a wonderful evening. Thank you. Thank you. Acknowledgement of partners in education. Consider approval for 2025 good giving challenge donation.

Secondly, I want to say that I'm here tonight requesting one give you an annual update. I like doing that every year. U if he doesn't let me see let you see my ugly face. But also I want to uh say that I'm requesting $10,000 like we have in the past. Back in January, I sent a letter to Mr. Howard for a lower amount that I think you may have in front of you, but after some discussion with my board and with Mr. Howard, uh, I'm going to go back to my original request and if you approve that amount, if

043I need to submit an updated letter to Mr. Howard, I'll be more than happy to do that. Let me get my out here. Um, before I give you this handout, I want to first recognize my my board members.

Cora Hefner who by the way is the founder of partners in education in 2003 and she's finally coming off my board after 22 years.

044Gladly and she still she'll still she'll still be on the speed dial. Trust me. She's my proof reader when it comes to our newsletter. Uh Sherry Hampton who is with the community member, Dora Hall right there, y'all know her. Pam Baker who's with Catalin, Whitney Hacker with the Stockyard Bank, William or Henry Banner, y'all know him, retired George Executive, Casey Harden with People's Exchange Bank, and Chrissy Bush who y'all know who we're shar office. So now let me just give them you pass them around. Is that okay? You want to do that? I try to give you an update like I said every year um on the what we've done in the past year. So when this gets around there, wait a second, let you all get to look at to give you a little

045context or about this. We in 2018 we peaked with 175 volunteers and then obviously CO hit shut us down in FY2 three I guess it was we started back we had like 35 mentors the next year we had a 50 55 the next year 110 which was last year and now this year we've grown even more but I'll get to that in a second I want to first mention partners we added back first Presbyterian church. First Presbyterian Church was a partner for a long time. All their volunteers were like 80 and above. And when obviously co shut that down, but they got reached out to me last summer and said, "We'd like to get back in the game." And I was really glad to have them. Uh it's the same group of ladies and about

046six or seven of them. So we added them. Our BAM volunteers increased primarily due to the fact that we up till now we had it at preschool, Baker, and RDC. Well, this year I expanded to GRC. It was little not as many times, but that was our first year, but it still it went fine. Mr. Howard last week introduced me to the new GRC principal, and he assured me that he wants to keep doing it. I was thinking maybe I should back off for a year, but he said, "No, we're going to keep doing it." So, I hope I'll meet with him and his staff before school starts and get that program rolling again and hopefully get even more. Same thing with GLOW volunteers. they increase and that was again primarily due to the fact

047that we moved it or expanded into GRC as I mentioned the number of volunteers we had a 13% increase from 110 to 124 our number of volunteers hours this blew my mind and it went about 40% increase from 8:20 to 11:47 I could equate it to with people like Jessica Chamberlain that I picked to be the volunteer of the year she did like 140 hours just by herself so you have some of that that'll really make the numbers jump. Um, our volunteer value in in dollars, which by the way, obviously inflation keeps affecting this. I should have went back and looked at what it was when I started this, but I remember being like seven or eight years ago like $22 an hour with what a volunteer is worth. Now it's up to $34.79. But

048so that alone made our and the fact that we had so many more hours means that our volunteers in in dollars gave back $39,94 to your pro to your schools. partner donations to schools was down a little bit this year, but still 8,600. An example of that would be like Catalin bought 2,000 some odd dollars of Christmas presents for kids at RDC. Second did the same for kids at students at Justice. Those are just two examples that come to mind. If you want more, I can give you more examples. So then our total value, which basically what I call your return on your investment for last year giving me giving us $10,000, you got back $48,544. So, you got $4.8 for one. That's the way I look at it. Pretty good return on your investment.

049Uh, corporate sponsors, we added two this year. Stockyard Bank and DSM. And coach, tell me what DSM does. Uh, they're a flavor and fragrance company. I didn't know until yesterday, our meeting. We Somebody had to look it up, but uh we're glad to have them as a new sponsor. And then Ford is on Facebook where they're expanding. They bought some other company, I think it was or something like that. talking about Dan. Oh, that was Dan. I'm sorry. We talked about that yesterday, too. Oh, sorry. Okay, my bad. Show you what I'm paying attention to. Uh, good giving challenge. We went down a little bit. Um, this year though, it's going to be a little bit different. So, we're waiting to see what all that means, but uh I think the ma number of mount

050they will mash is gone is going to go back up for those that hopefully get to participate. And then bugs for books uh about the same, but we had 620 students. Just so you know what I do, we take two years ago, we had a grant from Steel Reef. This past year, we self-funded. We took $5,000 out of our own budget. And we go to the F FRC's at the four elementary schools and Baker. So the four elementary schools get $850. Baker gets $1,600 cuz their books cost a little bit more. And those F FRC's create some kind of a voucher system. So when the Tanya student gets this voucher, she doesn't know that she's poor, if you will, that she then gets that. She can get a free book during the Scholastic Bookf Fair.

051So that's when I show 620, that's 620 students that got a free book during the Scholastic Bookf Fair. That's what that's for. So that is really quick and dirty. I knew it wasn't going to be as long as Mr. Alkins, but um that's quick. Quick, down, and dirty. Uh if you have any questions, please fire away. Otherwise, that's my presentation. Questions for Mr. Yates. If not, anybody like to make a motion? I'll make a motion. Give the 10,000. All right. Motion by Miss Thomas. Second. Second by Miss Hall. All those in favor say I. I. Opposed. Motion carries five to zero. Thank you very much. Thank you. Thank you guys for all you do. Appreciate it. We're going to miss Mr. Hogan and Tora for sure. So, but they'll be around all the way. Phone

052all the way. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Consider approval of first reading of KSDA updates policy and procedures. Mr. Um, so this will take two reads. Essentially what we do is is the Kentucky School Board U association. That's this is basically what we pay them for. They take uh the legislation uh that was just passed in session. They figure out what policies, procedures uh need to be changed, updated based on the new legislation and they give us um templates that still need to go and be presented to each local board of education. Um so this takes two reads. Um I know I sent lots of things out to you guys. Um, we'll bring this back um probably later on this month because one of the legislative changes which is Senate Bill 181, one of

053the policies actually goes into effect on June the 27th. So, um, just kind of open up for general questions you guys might have after reading over things. I know I've been in lots of discussions with our board attorney making sure um, we're covered. one of the so just a couple thing a lot of things are just simple easy changes um but but there were a couple bills that like 181 I want to make sure and actually a few places down we have to go a little bit further in approving which traceable communication systems we're going to approve as a board so I've listed those in there so that takes care of that but one of the uh policies is about the waiver form um and one of the recommendations that I've talked to our board

054attorney about is um making a slight tweak on the uh the waiver to allow a parent guardian to use one form to approve a list of folks versus each form uh having to be tied to one adult. Um and and I think we'll be good. So that's a small change. Instead of listing staff, it would be staff um with four plural staffs uh where parents can give uh permission for those individuals to communicate on a nonapproved um communication tool. Um on and again what we'll do if you guys are good with that, we'll approve that on the first reading and then we'll work with our team on what that looks like um for the second reading. Um the other um other one that is the um the maternity leave bill. Um it mandates that by

0552030 you the district has to provide uh paid leave. Um but it gives us till 2030. We've already looked at our budget. Um I would recommend that we continue doing what we're doing now and taking that paragraph out just so that we have time to track that. I know working with Alicia, I don't want to throw uh a dart in the midair and figure out where it lands. I want to really look at how much this is going to cost the district. And I think it's a good bill, but I think jumping into it too quickly may lead us to be at risk financially if we don't know what that's that's going to um obligate us to financially. And again, I think they passed the bill with the foresight to understand it's coming out late.

056Districts are already working on their budget. So, it's intentional that um that we can adopt to do that. So, that would be my recommendation on that is just taking that paragraph out and letting us do kind of a wage study on what it would look like for those employees. Um those were the two big ones. It actually worked out well that Senator Elkins gave such a thorough um overview because it it should answer any questions you have and why kind of some of the things are in there. Unless you have any other questions or Becky if I left anything out. Not that I'm aware of. So I think the recommended motion would to be to the procedures can be approved upon one reading. The policies need two readings um to approve the policies to approve

057a first reading with the striking of the first paragraph on policy 031233. That's the one Mr. Howard was referring to. doing like he said the law that's not effective and that's not mandated until and the way the policyy's written out says up to 30 and I think there would need to be some more specificity so there's not a disparity between what one employee gets versus another so I think that's something that could be revisited plenty of time to do that before it's mandated what was that number um 03.1233 would just be that first paragraph that's added to that you wrote that down. Yeah, I have written that and the procedure and the procedures can be approved on a first reading with that addition Mr. Howard mentioned to the um to the traceable communication um authorization

058form. So, the only thing I'm I know you sent in an email, but there's nothing on e- meetings and so I'm I I don't know what I am approving. Um I don't So, I know there's multiple emails, but I I would prefer to like have a list of what it is I'm approving because it just there's nothing attached to this agenda item in any meetings. Do you have them? I have them printed if that helps. We have them, I think, in email form, but we don't have them on this agenda. I mean, I can we take just a few minute recess or something cuz I really want to know when I'm vote. I I don't feel comfortable voting when I don't I just I'm not sure. I'd like to run. Yeah, that would be okay.

059We'll call 10 minute recess at 7:03 7:13 We are back in session 2014 and we are on number three consider approval of first reading of KSCA updates to policy and procedures follow right now. So what are we doing? Yeah, policies was with just striking a paragraph one on three one two three3 seizures was we need them separate I guess do them separate Becky policy I would do because it's the motion needs to read the first reading of the policies so do the procedures so first reading in policies with the striking yeah Yeah. So motion to approve first reading of policies with striking of paragraph one on 03 period 1233. Motion by Mr. Dorsy. Second second by Mr. Ker. All those in favor say I. I. Post. Motion carries. I'm fine. Okay. No, you're fine. Motion

060carries five to zero. All right. And now with procedures. Motion to approve the first reading of Well, I guess it's just approval of procedures. Motion by Mr. Dorsy. Mr. Howard, did you want that language about No, wait. I'm sorry. That's on its own line item. The traceable communications. That's correct. Sorry. So, everything's good. Yes. Okay. Motion by Mr. Dorsy. Uh, I'll second it. All those in favor say I. I. Opposed. Motion carries by this evening. All right. Consider approval for board members to attend the KSBA 2025 Summer Leadership Institute July 11th and 12th in Mexico. I'll make a motion to approve that. Motion by Miss Thomas. I'll second. Second by Mr. Kaiser. All those in favor say I. I. Opposed. Motion carries 5 to zero. Acknowledgement and consider approval of CCPS designated traceable communication system

061policy 08.2 2 33 no 2324 KRS160.145 drop down. So did this this is the one that I pulled out intentionally because it um it's it's the biggest change by far. Um so what we are tasked to do as a board um you as a board is to designate what um communication systems you're approving. Um now this list can come back to you can be added. You can take it off. You can always adjust it depending on where we're at. Um, we went ahead and took the liberty of approving pretty much anything that we could trace uh that we could keep record of because those are the two biggest uh components of the two and it has to be a two-way communication system. So, um, we're looking at Clark County Public School emails. Um, IC Infinite

062Campus Messenger, uh, Google Meet video conferencing, um, Parent Square and Talking Points are both two-way communication systems that the district's investigating, um, or purchasing so that teachers will have a resource to communicate with, uh, that we pay for and fund. Um, we piloted talking points, um, for for for about four or five months. Um but uh parent square is another uh platform that we're we're pretty interested into. So I went ahead and just put everything on there. Um because this uh legislation and thus a board policy should be in place before June the 27th. Um the other um part of this is the waiver form that is attached. It should be at this one in the um it's in it's the uh where parents, guardians can request um basically a waiver to certain uh district

063employees that can use a one-way system that's not approved. Uh but each individual gets to approve who basically uh talks to their students. Um, my only recommendation is the way it's written now, you would have to fill a form out for every single adult that you wanted to give a waiver to. So, for instance, in in my situation as a father, if I wanted Miss Fifth and Mr. Mr. Mouse, of course, cuz they're they're his favorite. And Mr. Watkins, I would have to have three separate forms. I'm saying that we just change the language to allow the same form to be used to approve multiple people. I mean, even with that form signed, do we still open ourselves up for a chance of some kind of litigation? Potentially, this is all new. But I mean,

064the law does provide for an opt out form. There's no there's no absolute guarantee against litigation if things are misused or mishandled. But at least in that point, the parent has consented that my student can have contact with these people. Yes. Now on on the form, it does have have a timeline where the parent can um revoke revoke um or not fill out at all. So it's completely on them. So if they don't like how it's going, they can revoke it and we have to monitor and track that. So is it an online form? So we we're going to work with with our attendance uh DPP's office to what we would like to do is put it in our online registration documentation where parents at the beginning of the year since we do everything online.

065They would have to see it and have to either fill it out or not. And then it would be easier for us to track. We've not again this is all moving pretty fast. And I'm just thinking like say you did it online and they filled it out and then halfway through they took it off. How are we how would we we would go we could go in on the back door of infinite campus and remove it. Revoke it. How would we know it without them tell us that they they have to notify us. That's part of the policy is they have to notify us. Or on the actual form they can list a an end date. Uh we just document that. So if they wanted to adjust for the school year, it would end date

066at the end of the school year and they have that option as a parent to fill that out or leave it open-ended. Oh, so if you saw one, it would just carry over year after year. It technically you could if you didn't inate it. So, do they do the elementary schools still have things like dojo and all that or is that am I outdated because it's So, some of them some of them do, but at this point if it's not traceable and it doesn't keep records and you won't be able to That's correct. So, it's kind of like an announcement. It's not like I could talk to the teacher oneonone or something like that. Um, any accounts that are to parents I think are still going to be good. We're kind of working through that.

067It would just be two kids. Yeah. So if it was just used to contact and communicate with parents, that wouldn't need to be approved. So if I if I'm a parent and I want to know who's talking to my kid or do we have to keep we the school system have to keep track of who who's if it's a two-way. So So next step for us will be training our staff and training our coaches because it's also applicable to to coaches and it's applicable to volunteers. Um there's a a couple groups that PTO is one that's on the list that you that are um not bound. Um board members, unless you're a volunteer, you still can communicate with with students. So there it's pretty detailed in the in the legislation camp, but any employee of

068Clark County Public School System will be mandated to use one of these tools to talk to to talk to any student. electronically. Electronically, correct? Electronically, any teams, any That's correct. Any teams? So, are there other apps that that each individual use? They won't be able They won't be able to use. They'll need to use either. No, they're not. So, is there a paper trail to this? So if if I'm mad and I don't because I think my child's been talked to by something through how how or is there a way or is it still still trying to figure it out? I would say the docu the yeah the digital if it is digital it would at least show like I think it has to be these type because they are tracing way and the statute

069provides that the district has to provide parents access to the communication records. That's that's a logistical thing I think districts are working through. Is that going to look like an open records request? or you know I can imagine looking very similar to open record requests that you would fill out and I want to see communication with this and this. Yeah. So another example would be high school teachers email their students things. So does the parent have to give permission for the teacher to talk with the student by email? No because that's what we're governing on. If we approve it then they'll be able to do that. Correct. Because it's traceable. The district has email account. Yeah. Yeah. Now, if a teacher would use a private account, then no, they cannot. I mean, we'll we'll have

070to do the training part on that on our end. It has to be a Clark County email account. It has to be one of these, correct? Prove just one of these. If if not then if it's a classified or certified then they can we will will be required to have some sort of consequence or what about Google classroom email or Google classroom communication is that I would say that under the Google probably like when they give an announcement or you can send something separate can can't you send like send a message to your teacher back and forth. Is that gym infinite campus messenger? No, that would be Google classroom. But is it traceable? It's still traceable. So because it uses the email accounts to set it up, we would still be able to I mean

071we can put it on there just to make sure we can add that to it. I'm just trying to every every potential there's a reason why I pulled this one out so we can we can talk about it. Um, it just reminds me a lot of like personal health information. That's why I'm trying to make sure I understand it because I'm getting it confused with personal health information. So, what this is saying is if I'm a parent and I sign, then these are the things that my child and my then the ticket child's teacher can communicate through. No, if you sign that means you can do something. Sorry. Outside of that, these can be used by the district without consent. Oh, these are the because the district can trace it. You know, an administrator could

072go in and say, "What did that teacher say to that student?" It's traceable. The district has control, has access. The problem is if a teacher's text using their cell phone to text or using a private email or Facebook Messenger or Snapchat, the district has no control or an app that they own like we can't get access to that or they could hide from you. And the letter was to give them permission to do text or something with certain teachers or whatever, right? Because I I know some of the teachers are putting stuff on Facebook and it just like we hadn't even talked about it yet and I I don't want teachers to feel afraid of it. I So because I had I was misunderstanding it myself. So yeah, um I think it's just good to

073talk about it. Hopefully people will be listening and know that that's what it means. Yeah. So our our plan moving forward with with when you approve these, we would start planning our PR campaign to get it to the community, get it to information out. I just didn't want to put the cart before the horse and I want to have this conversation. I already had a conversation with uh Mr. Watkins with them today um because we are going to have some time where we're going to have some gaps. So, for instance, coaches, um, until we get these things up and people trained on, they're basically going to be mandated by me to use parent communication on the current apps that they have so that we don't get a situation, but the students just would not be

074included on that. And then during that transition time, then we will continue to train and upload, get people um, fully on board. So when we start school, these are the platforms that Park County Public School staff will use to communicate with with with students electronically. What about Apex? Is there any type of communication through that when they're working on through the Apex? Dr. Hill already left. So uh there's not there's not there's not. Okay. There's a grading components and that's it. But typically they would use their email to inform their teacher to reset a test or to grade a test and that's the part that we would track. You made a comment a minute ago about they might just have to sign that one time. What did you mean by that? Like one time per

075school or one time per for staff members or So we would we would roll if if it happens like I envision and we make it a part of our online registration each year. We would roll that form back out with an option to relist um a waiver to to communicate other than these approved forms. Um, but like any other form, as long as they don't revoke it, we could use that to continue from year to year to year. Just follows the kid. It just follows the kid. Now, clearly, Miss McCoy and I, because this is so new, would make sure that that's the case. If we needed to, then we put it back out. And as we discussed, every district in the state is struggling to figure out how we're going to implement this. The

076co-ops are providing a lot of guidance. There could be changes before a second reading as well as we kind of work through some of the bugs. It's anticipated there will be some kinks. And my guess was that is when we get to the legislative session, the legislature will have to pick this back up. I can't mandate them to do the job. But I know that that'll be what I tell our senator who spoke to us and our representative because I've got I communicate with them all the time. The intention of the bill is good. I mean I it's just when you when you go from zero to 100 60 or 100 whatever number you want to throw out there if the if the implementation of it it's going to take a little time. Is there

077the and once we get this in place, if you find an employee who member in out of compliance with it, is there are we're going to have to create a new policy regarding like um repercussions or so there's nothing assigned, correct me if I'm wrong, but there's nothing assigned for our classified staff. We would do an investigation through our HR department and then it would be up to the superintendent because I'm really the only one. Uh principles were notified principles can't necessarily this one, but they would do what they were going to do is get me involved, get HR involved, investigate, and then we would put together some sort of appropriate response. um with with with certified teachers there is a reporting component that we would need to report any kind of founded allegations to

078EPSB and then they would review that on their end is is the way I'm reading it right right now. So that's the for our teeth. So there is one mandated piece and then if I don't report it as a superintendent and then I could be held liable and then they're pretty clear on that when I reread eight pages worth the document. So this is the first reading. Yeah. This is a start. Uh even after our second reading it's there's a likelihood we we'll have to come back and reposition. if I'm I'm being very transparent and open and we're going to have to really work hard on our end to train our principles, to train our staff to make sure that they know what the expectation is and um making sure that they utilize what we're

079providing so they're protected. So, have we written the policy the way we want it written yet for us to look at? You know, at the second reading or this is KSBA's draft. What they pretty much I mean there may be some tweaks on the second reading, but it pretty much follows the KRS and the KRS is very detailed and specific mandates. So, we just need to list these in that policy. So, no, you just have to, I think, put on the board minutes that you're designating these programs as the official traceable programs utilized by the Clark County Public Schools. So, they need to make a motion. Is this the first reading? would have to um I think the motion should be to designate those approve CCPS designated and it probably would help be helpful to

080list those. I'll make that motion. Yeah. And I and I put that on on there which ones we were looking at doing but she said it would be helpful to list them if you want to list them if you're making a motion over here. And Miss Hall did you want to add I will. Yeah. Google Classroom. Do you want to add that? Um, it sounds like Google Suite I was looking at Miss Spitzen. It'll be all embedded in there classroom will be embedded in Google. So, okay. So, do we need to add that on to that list? Google Suite when we have Google Meet that there's wonder if it should be Google Suite. If you think there's a communication element, it couldn't hurt. Yeah, I I think anything that can kind of protect us from

081it utilizes heavily the emails, so I think we're covered. But I think just to make it crystal clear, Miss Dr. Hall, I think it'd be fine. So, if you want to add that to it. Yes. If you want to say Google Plus, I want to call your doctor again. Thank you. You want to say Google uh Google core services is what's coming. Google core services. That sounds really great. So motion to approve the CCPS designated traceable communication systems, Clark County Public School email accounts, Infinite Campus Messenger, Google Core Services, Parent Square talking points under policy 08.2324. Motion by Mr. Dors. I second. Second by Mr. Kaiser. All those in favor say I. I opposed. Motion carries 5 to zero. All right. Acknowledgement of CCPS policy and procedure 05.31, 05.3, 05.31 AP1, and 05.31 AP21. So

082these are um our policies for our facilities um agreements and community use. Yes. And then once we approve these three then what we're required to do next year is to approve a uh facilities fee schedule. So, that's actually the next um item for consideration, but I wanted to make sure we kind of pulled those three out and then clarify that in working with Mr. Watkins and and Miss Ellis, um and this would be great for principles to know, whatever funds they generate from these rentals will be in their district um facilities account that they can then use to spend on um their staff, their building, their needs. Um so they uh will have access to uh those those funds. So does this need to vote or is it just a I would just acknowledge it

083so you kind of know where where they were coming from and then explain why then we're moving into the next one about um approving the school fee schedule. Is this an amendment or just currently I I'm just amendment. I'm just presenting it as is just so we're kind of reviewing it and you guys are acknowledging as a board together. So there's one policy and then two procedures that dictate um how we operate with who gets buildings and why and how we prioritize. Um I think that's on there too. There's just been some questions about facilities usage. So I just want to make sure we're bringing it in the light. Consider So we're on number seven. Consider approval of community use of school facilities fee schedule for 2025 2023 26 school year. So you guys have

084that should have that fee schedule. Um there was only one change to it. I took off um one sentence about u it said some rentals shouldn't exceed four hours. Um, and that's just kind of not practical with some we have some that that definitely exceed 4 hours such as uh when we have plays and and things like that and rent to outside groups. So, um, you guys have that schedule there. We also updated it with the u the new logo there at the top. Any questions for Mr. Watkins? Anybody like to make a question? I I got a question real quick. Okay. So like say auditorium there high school it's 400 and then so do we have like is it required like a custodian's going to have to come in and clean. Mhm. So they

085have to automatically pay that 20 also. And we just kind of work with that group to determine what's needed. if it's if they're not selling a lot of food, drinks, and stuff, you know, you might not have a whole lot of clean up at all. Um, so it just kind of depends on the specific event specific event and their need and their request, right? If there's a lot of concessions or, you know, other things that would require a lot of cleanup, we would Yeah. obviously add that on. Okay. That's all right. This kind of goes back to what we were talking about. It would be like for hourly. Yeah. And the some of these say per day, we obviously prorate that down to uh cuz a lot of people that rent don't rent things all

086day. So, we kind of prorrate it down obviously to to if it's an hour or two hours uh that folks rent things, then we charge them accordingly. So, I'm good. I'll make a motion to accept it. All right. Motion by Miss. Second by Mr. Kaiser. All those in favor say I. Opposed. Motion carries five to zero. Consider approval of change order for the Clark County new preschool project. Sean Hagen is here. Y I didn't see you back there. I was like, well, they put John Hagen on here. So, I got quite a few here. Obviously, these kind of stacked up on us. I wrote a lot of these back in January, February, and March, but we kind of, you know, we held off on processing pay applications. We held off on processing change orders, trying

087to get these contractors get to work. So, that's how we kind of ended up with so many at one time. That's not the typical process. So, um, some of these, um, I can dive into each and every one. There's several that don't have any, uh, cost impact to the job at all. There's some where we're settling claims, uh, some subcontracted work or taking dollars from one contractor, give it to another. U, I can do it however you like. Um, I go through each and every single one. If there's some you want me to drill down into, whatever pleases you guys, I can run through the ones that do have a cost impact of a job. You want to do that or however you'all want to do it. Um, yeah, I'd like to hear something on

088the ones cost impact, not the ones that are awards. All of these were either requested by the school folks, you know, added scope to the job or some site conditions. Nothing that was left out of the plans or left out of the bid package, that sort of thing. This is all added scope. Um, the first one to Randall Davies, change order 2-3 for $6,725. That's made up of two separate items. Original plan called for I think six or eight wheel stops. And this was to add an additional 24 into some of the uh parking spaces. That's the uh parking bumpers. And then to uh a change in the pavement elevation back near the dumpster enclosure. There's a manhole back there which you may recall that's been kind of a problem. The invert elevation of that

089manhole couldn't be changed. So we had to change the elevations of the black top and the sidewalk to accommodate that. So that's a total 6725 to Randall Davies. Um change order 3-4 to rising sun. Same scenario revisions to that sidewalk out back by the dumpster enclosure. And then to add some some changing of the hinges on the storm shutter doors that cover the windows of the storm shelter. We talked about in the previous board meeting. This allows those to swing about 90° open. So that's a 3-4 with rising sun for $3,434. See 6-1 to Bennett's contracting. This is a combination of a few things. Primarily adding some ceilings in two of the main corridors. Originally they didn't they didn't call for ceilings in there. It's all exposed structure where you can see the duct work,

090see the conduit things. This was to add ceiling tile in those corridors. Um, that also affects a couple of these subsequent change orders. I'll get to those in just a second. 6-2 Bennett Contracting. This was rooms 107, 108, 131, and 132. Um, these were Is it Bennett's contracting or Bennett's carpet? They're now Bennett's contracting, but I think at the time these contracts are written, it's Bennett's carpets. Okay. Yeah. Sorry. No, you're fine. Yeah, they they do a little bit more than than flooring now. Um so these rooms were originally resource rooms and storage rooms. They become classrooms and offices which required some additional uh data drops power in the walls. So this is for the drywall work to accommodate that. 13-1-1 US specialties. This was to make a change from steel from from metal sinks

091to a a solid surface material in the restrooms in the preschool restrooms so it match the countertops in those rooms. $2,300. $3,500 to Viking automatic sprinkler. That's Landmark sprinkler 15-1. This was in those same corridors where we now added those ceilings that required a change to the sprinkler system where you have the drops in the ceiling tile 16-3 to central Kentucky sheet metal $2,129. Um in some of the main restrooms originally all the toilets were those little 10-in toilets uh for the preschoolers. And the thought process was, well, if you have an event in a preschool, you need some adult-sized toilets available to the public. So, this is a change to put some uh now you have both size toilets in those restaurants. 173, the fade electric. This is one of the larger ones. $25,738.74.

092This was to run power from the building out to the monument sign down at Martin Luther King at the entrance to that monument sign. That was something that was backed out of the original scope when we did the value engineering process. Now we're putting it back in. See 174 fade electric. Um this is to provide um some alternate light fixtures in those same corridor ceilings that originally did not call for ceilings and a power receptacle for a condensate pump in room 122. That's $9,897.79. 175 to fade electric uh $12,946.93. So on this one, architects can't single source spec equipment for specific vendors on the job. You have to have open spec so multiple people can do it. So you don't know the exact equipment type you're going to have on occasion. For instance, this is

093for kitchen equipment. So until we bid the job, knew who the vendor was, knew exactly what equipment that was going to be provided, we didn't know all the electrical requirements. This is a $12,946 change to upgrade the wire size. Um, and specifically for the freezer and cooler. I believe that's all the ones that actually had a cost impact. Mr. could you explain 1741 the sonatrol just so I think I understand it's saying that he already that it got paid Oh yes yes I just pointed that one out uh yeah that is a credit $212,990 those invoices I say it's a credit it's those invoices have already been paid just not applied to their purchase order so to satisfy KD to show yes that was paid but it didn't come out of your contingency fund. This

094is a change order to zero out that continuous zero out that purchase order. So, you're not paying that twice. You're just paying the one time. Thank you. I will have some additional uh actual credits for the POS next month. There's a few that have some remaining balances. That that money comes back to you guys. So, we'll have some of those next month. Thank you for that. It's not 212,000, but it will help. How much more do they have on punch list or any of that work? Very little. Uh the interior work is all but finished. I'd say 99% complete on the punch list on the interior. Outside there's still a few things. Um specifically that retention pond that continues to wash out. We're going to address that. Um I need to get back out there

095and see. They've been working in between rains. Um you know, you get equipment out there in that grass, you do more harm than good sometimes. So um it's it's I fully intend to come next month, last couple change orders, pay applications to close out these contracts, pay list. So, I'll wrap this thing up. Thank you. Any questions for Mr. Kodak? Anybody like to make a motion? I'll make a motion to approve the change orders for Clark County preschool. Motion by Mr. Casser. I'll second. Second by Mr. Dorsy. All those in favor say I. Opposed. Motion carries. Thank you. Thank you, Mr. Codell. Approval of Re Henry E. Baker Senior Court for Baker Intermediate Gym 4 renovation. Mr. Watkins, come on up. Glad you just talked about standing up the pipes when it comes up here.

096I think he's going to sing. He's going to do this in he right. Uh just to add to that, just so uh note, there wasn't a pay app on this month's board agenda for Kodell the preschool. So we fully expect a few things next month to kind of finalize everything with a few more payments and a few credits and then wrap it up. So when you notice there's not a payoff, it's uh you know it it is coming toward the end. So uh Mr. Mounds here u wants to briefly uh we part of our summer project list. We're refinishing the gym floor at Baker because it drastically needs it. If you haven't seen it, I I promise you. Um it's it's been overdue and it needs it. Um he's worked with the flooring company to

097come up with a beautiful design here and uh they would like to add uh River Banker's signature uh to the court. Uh obviously doing that would would kind of be naming the court which falls to a board function. So we just wanted to seek your approval. Anything else you want to add there? You had any questions or So is it at the bottom there? Mhm. Is that what the signature is? Yeah. Right there. That's his actual signature from his son's marriage certificate. Oh, that's cool. I think it's a wonderful idea myself. Well, rename the schools. Should be. I love the design here came up with and worked with them. It's got got some shading inside the the three-point line. Got the bulldog got volleyball lines. It's already got the inserts for the volleyball poles. And

098then scroll down just a second there. Bring it down that way. They've got four squares, some stuff balling, pins and stuff for gym classes to use there at the top. Is a standard size basketballiz. Awesome. And you had room to add the porchware. That's actually on this side of the floor underneath the bleachers. So when they were trying to bleach and they actually added uh today they added some uh it was $60. That's right. They added some agility ladders, you know, if you want to do Oh. Four square competitions can get really intense. move that now. [Music] We need to make a motion to Yeah. Anybody got any more? Okay, I'll make that motion. Thank you, Mr. Motion by Miss Thomas. Second. Second by Miss Hall. All those in favor say I. I. Opposed. Motion

099carries 5 to zero. That is the quietest Josh MS has ever been. Thank you for coming. All right. Approval of natural gas supply agreement with Stand Energy Corporation. Mr. Watkins again. So you all have a an agreement there to review and I'm asking for uh approval of that. We currently have get our natural gas through a third party. Uh it's it's originally from Colombia Gas, but a third party supplier handles it. Coh Constellation is is the name of it. Uh in looking around and reviewing contracts as we do uh um quite often to see if there's a better deal out there uh somewhere to save some money. Um been working with Stand Energy Corporation. They work with several school districts. They have a master agreement with the state of Kentucky uh to provide to be

100the third party handler for natural gas supply and it would be some definitely some cost savings uh for us uh to do that. So asking you to take a look at that and consider approval of that agreement. We would still get it from like I said Columbia Gas. It just changes the the middleman so to speak. You want to make a motion? I'll make a motion. Motion by Mr. Kaiser. I'll second by Miss Hall. All those in favor say I. I. Oppose. Motion carries by consider approval of the 2025 2026 CCPS transportation procedure man. Mr. Sn. biggest well the only change we had we just did this back in no so there wasn't a lot to change u the only thing I wanted to change was the wording on page 15 the old handbook said

101no portable or cell phones are permitted while driving I want to change that to per FMCSA regulation cell phone use is prohibited while driving uh the reason the federal motor carrier safety administration defined what use actually is I think it's been more specific protect us a little bit more. Any questions for Mr. Sn? I do have a couple questions. So, I was reading the policy and I see that we only do the MBR once a year and I guess the driver was responsible for doing that. Okay. According to the policy, any we do a like a background check on him of employment. Um, all bus drivers have to do a clearing house check. They do a clearing house. That's for their drug. That only pulls drug and alcohol violations. Um, after that, uh, it's their

102responsibility. They are supposed to inform us of any basically any traffic citation other than a parking ticket. I don't know how to say I would like to look at what it would cost us as a district to run what what the actual cost is of the actual motor vehicle door board for a person and if it was feasible and we looked at the price I would love to see that run quarterly rather than yearly. I think it's $25. Is it 25? We do Yeah, my company does it every year. We do it monthly at my company now just because of so many of the DOT laws changing all the time. Um, and just to protect us as a company from having and this could be the worst case scenario whatever happened but we had a

103driver one time I'll just share this that started with us. They had been charged with something but had not been convicted. We hired them. They drove a truck for us for a solid year without a license because they lost their license 15 days into their job. And there was no way to know that because you were relying on them to self-report. Yes. And then lose their job. Yes. So I'm I mean like I say I don't think that I think it depends on how many you're running. You can get some reduced rates. There is some companies out here that runs those run those MBRs. Just look at it. And then the U training. I think I asked Mr. Howard and he said that you all do annual training. Yes. With everybody. Yeah. The drivers are

104required to have an annual 8 hour update which is geared toward the Kentucky school bus driver training manual chapters or 12 chapters in there. Everything we do during that training has to be geared towards one of those chapters. It's not mandated for monitors, but we pretty much How much of the training is actual like the driving part of it and not the dealing with children? It can vary from year to year. Um last year we did about half a day on driving. Okay. Would it be beneficial to push some type of defensive driving? I mean, I'm not going to say how they have to train by no means. I just would like to see it reflected in our policy that we're doing the mandated training that's yearly. It really don't spell that out in the

105policy and I just like to make sure we were protected on the policy side of it to save. Yeah. So, the only thing we have in there, it's on page 31. Yeah. Uh the very bottom of the page is the only thing that we have there cuz it was it that seemed to me like it was talking more about new hire driver. Mhm. On 31. It really doesn't say continue training or the very last section prior to and this is goes with what KD requ prior to the beginning of each school year certified drivers shall complete. Okay. I did not see that. I'm sorry. Yeah. And that's KDE regulations that has to be done. If they don't if they don't do the 8 hour updating training, they can't drive. So, do we provide that for

106them or do they have to go out and we provide that? They have to come. Our training is geared towards our district, our drivers. They can't go to County and do an 8 hour update to County and drive for us. Okay. They have to do ours. Okay. Good deal. Well, I'm fine with that part. I'd just like to look into the MVR part. Yep. We can look into that. And then once we figure out how much that's cost or what that would look like, we could even bring the policy back to update that if we uh if we if that was the will of the board. Absolutely. Yeah. And so there's a district policy that references that that we would have to change the district policy. Now, we would go ahead and do the Is

107that pretty customary that all school? Because I've never heard of of the actual person paying to have an MBR run to have their job. I just Yeah. The way our I don't know what other districts do. The way our policies Yeah. It puts the anyone that wants to drive a district vehicle, they are supposed to provide us with Okay. their motor direct. See our ours is a little different just because well where we utilize a like a fleet company it they are they require it and so they complete that like our we don't actually pay for it like the fleet company. Yeah cuz you're you might be leasing your trucks or whatever. So your company is so it's a little to where ours we own we own all of our CDL trucks. We lease our

108trucks. So, but we through our DT numbers and all that stuff that you have to have, we uh we pay for that. We pay for physicals. We pay for everything though. But that is also we're an organization making money and can recoup that cost. I'm not saying that we need to cause cost here, you know, would be forced on Yeah. Yeah. our revenue sources. But I would like to see what it looks like from a standpoint of I just want to make sure we're protected. you can't potentially have somebody tell you something and I think it's a good idea and I and I think timing wise like I said we can bring this back um depend on our answers to the board in July and then if you guys want to modify that policy that

109would be the first read and then we bring it back again in August and we can make whatever changes the board wanted to make. That sound like a good direction. Is that right? Okay. All right. So go ahead with this tonight and then modify it. Okay. Yeah. Because I I we're talking this is more of the manual of the transportation manual. The second part of Mr. Kaiser's question, we actually have been there. So we're good to go. But I think for long-term systemic changes, we'll have to look at the policy. Okay. So motion to approve the 2526 CCPS transportation procedures manual. Motion by Mr. Dorsy. Second. Second by Mr. Kaiser. All those in favor say I. I I opposed. Motion carries five to zero. Acknowledgement is to consider approval of the 2025 2026 CCPS school

110handbooks. What did you guys say? You changed your worst. Um just the yearly updates of uh each school's handbooks. Uh GRC isn't included in uh this uh approval just yet. just uh the transition and I know that they've got some policies that they want to look at, revisit um for the upcoming school year. So, instead of coming back with that, we're just going to let them get everything situated and uh bring them back to you. Yeah, originally it was up they uploaded this document. So, you saw it on you've not gone crazy. Well, we realize that I saw you responsible. I don't have to address it. Um, but I actually um had them pull it off because it's not ready. Okay. There was a lot of still highlighted. Their site base, I think, is going

111to look at it again at their next meeting. Um, so I want them to do their work first before it gets to us. Like I said, we've got administrative change there and they're really doing their due diligence to make sure they know every detail in the handbook and want to get it right before they bring it to you guys. Good. Any questions? Mr. Kane, would anybody like to make a motion? I make a motion to approve. Motion by Miss Hall. I'll second. Second by Miss Thomas. All those in favor say I. I. Opposed. Motion carries five to zero. Thank you. What we'll do is we'll bring the just the GRC one back. It's just one read and if we have a special call meeting, which we'll talk about later, for the second read of the

112policies, we can just add to that if they're ready. If not, then we'll push it to July. I wouldn't want to push longer than that cuz we need to get those that information out to our parents. So, consider approval of 2025 2026 athletic handbook, Mr. East. Good evening, everyone. Um, so there's been just a few changes in here. Um, one of the important things is just the account accountability piece for our coaches and our parents and our student athletes. So if you've had a chance to look, you'll see at the bottom of each page starting with the parent guardian page is just set setting that expectation of how we are to act appropriately uh at events uh practices just understanding how to follow the chain of command. Um, and so I've done that for the

113parent page, for the student athlete page, and also for the social media policy page. Um, and then just as you can see at the back there's the signature page that just make sure that parents understand that if you want your child to participate then we need to make sure that that page has been signed and sent back so that I'll have that piece as you will know somebody will say something and we can at least have an opportunity to hold them accountable for that. You guys have any questions? Just specifically in here, just for the public to know, there is specifically a student code of conduct, but there's also drug testing consent forms because our student athletes can be random drug tested, and there's a specific social media policy for our athletes. Um, we're going

114to do a really good job of of understanding what our expectation is, but also training our coaches and our student athletes and our parents on what it means to be a student athlete in Clark County at GRC. So, I want to make sure I say that out loud because Mr. Watkins, Mr. East, you know, our standard is a standard. We're going to hold everybody to that. Um, I appreciate the the support and, you know, we'll be very transparent with this. Anybody like to make a motion? I'll make a motion. Motion by Miss Thomas. Second. Second by Mr. Kaiser. All those in favor say I. I opposed. Motion carries 5. Consider approval to the updated school nutrition pay schedule. Okay. So, last month we approved all the pay schedules and food service had a 4% increase,

115but then we gave an 85 cent increase to all of our other hourly staff. So, in doing so, that's more like a 6 to 7% increase. So, we went back and Dr. Muny and I crunched her budget and made sure that she would be able to accommodate and she would like to ask the board to approve an 85 cent instead of the 4% for her staff as well because she has managed her budget to do the 6 to 7% increase for her staff with the rest of the district. So this doesn't change any of our numbers. Correct. It doesn't change anything that we talked about budget-wise before because this is strictly food service. But we couldn't approve 85 cents last time because we had only done her budget for the 4%. Okay. So we have

116gone back to revisit specifically food services budget and she can accommodate instead of the 4% the 85 cent an hour for her staff please. So we just need this one table um reapproved. Okay. I'll make a motion to consider the to approve the updated school nutrition pay schedule. Motion by Mr. I'll second second by Mr. Dorsy. All those in favor say I. I. Opposed. Motion carries 5 to zero. Acknowledgement of monthly CCPS financial update. So we are still in a very good spot financially. We are 72% collection of revenues at this point. 65% of our spend which is within 1% of what we were this time last year. So we are still tracking um revenues and expenditures as we expect. And then tax dollars um we just received motor vehicle yesterday. So it is actually

11797% collection for them. Um it's a little early with this board meeting to have gotten anything from the sheriff at this point. So those numbers are as reported the 104 and 69% right now. Any questions on revenues or expenditures? All right. Authorized payment of salaries and accounts payable. Make a motion to pay the bills. Second. Motion by Miss Hall. Second by Mr. Dorsy. All those in favor say I. I. Oppos. Motion carries 5 Z. Consider approval of student fee schedules. So my last housekeeping item before we start the new school year with financial stuff is Redbook requires any fees that are charged to students to be board approved. And so these are the fee schedules um for your approval for each of the schools. And there is um very minimal change to I think RDC

118is the only one who made a change in adding some clubs and taking off some clubs of how they're operating now. Otherwise, the other schedules are exactly the same as they were this past year. Okay. Anybody like to make a motion? I make a motion to approve the B schedule for the schools or whatever it says. Motion by Miss Hall. Second. Second by Mr. Kaiser. All those in favor say I. I. Thank you. Opposed. Motion carries five to zero. Consider approval of the CCPA job description catalog. Dr. Parish. Yeah. instead of bringing back multiple job descriptions at a time like I first planned, Miss Fifth and had a great idea is bringing them all to a catalog version. So the 441 page version that we currently use and have access to online has now been

119condensed to just 81. So we've made some big progress and this is the catalog of all the current jobs uh right now in Clark County Public Schools. Do you know what um the is it a PDF or a word document or Google? We uploaded it as a PDF. PDF. Okay. I just My iPad didn't want to didn't want to. It's open. It's so big. Yeah. My computer probably would open up. But we've looked at all these, right? Like we've most of them are the same things. We basically just updated a lot of the expectations as far as job responsibilities and abilities. So, and each one is now one page, correct? Yes. Every job. One page. Yes. It sounds like a lot of work. They won't brag, but it was a tremendous amount of work that

120I appreciate greatly. Okay. Would anybody like to make a motion? I'll make a motion to approve the job description. Job description catalog. Motion by Miss Hall. I'll second. Second by Mr. Dorsy. All those in favor say I. I. Oppose. Motion carries 5 to zero. Acknowledgement of the professional code of ethics for classified staff. So, we've always had a certified code of ethics um that EPSB um has pushed out and teachers sign off on to get their teaching certificate, but we've never had one for classified staff. So, this basically it's a code of conduct that all classified staff will review at the beginning of every year and sign off on um the same basic uh professional expectations as the certified staff. Any questions? No. Would anybody like to It's an acknowledgement. No, it's just an acknowledgement.

121Okay. Does anybody have any questions? No. All right. I think it's a good idea. Thank you. We used to do it years ago, so I think it's a good idea. They both Thank you. Okay. Superintendence report. All right. So, a couple updates. Um, summer is here and lots of wonderful things happening in Clark County Public Schools. Uh, our literacy liftoff is housed at cheer. It's off and running. So, big shout out to all of our teaching staff who are teaching phonics and reading three days a week for half a day, feeding kids twice, providing transportation. So, if you see a big yellow bus out on the road, we're picking up a literacy liftoff student and bringing them. And um, so again, gigantic shout out to to Miss Fifth and her staff. Um, that will be

122three weeks during June. It will also be 3 weeks during July, so 6 weeks total. Had a lot of great success. Uh again, our goal is to eliminate gaps before they ever happen. Uh specifically with reading, we can get them to read uh again by the third grade. Now they're reading for learning and not learning how to read and is a pivotal crucial difference. Um so we've identified some first and second graders that we're making sure uh are on grade level and third grade. So, uh, also this week, uh, theater camp or first ever Mr. Oh, he he's going to miss my brag. Uh, first ever theater camp, um, is happening this week. So, they've got their big, uh, performance showcase on Friday at at 2:00. So, if you get free, um, if not, I

123I'm I'm scheduled to be there. Uh, I'll take pictures and I'll text you guys like I do sometimes. So, um, big big shout out to their staff for the first ever, um, theater camp. Bookb, uh, scheduled to start, um, tomorrow. Uh, that'll be the book bus has routes. We've got a flyer out. It's got several locations in the community where our parents, guardians can go there, meet the bus there three days a week. Uh, we'll also do a mid session, second session in mid July. Um, so again, us providing and it's the cutest thing ever. Literally the bus parks, kids can get up on the bus. Our bus driver organizes it very well. They go through the bus, they pick out the books, they check them out. Almost like a mobile library. Um, and it

124is phenomenal. Um, also our summer uh feeding. Um, huge shout out to the entirety of the team uh including Winchester PB and everyone else that help us at Concret Thursdays um from 3:30 to 5:30 and that is a hard windows. set by uh the state of Kentucky Food Nutrition. We used to do summer feeding um at locations during the day, but you would have to get there each and every day for breakfast for lunch. Uh and this way we can do more of a mass distribution. Um this will be week two. We've made some tweaks and changes because we gave out over a,000 uh right around 1,000 meals. 888 I believe is the number of gallons of milk um that we distributed over a two-hour period. So when I say it was a gigantic effort

125at food distribution, Dr. Muny, she's not here right now, but I'm going to her name's in light somewhere as as another superstar that we have here in the in the county. And it's like a week's worth of food, right? And it's a week's worth. So it's seven meals. Uh so you pick it up once during that window and you feed and that's you get a gallon of milk, for example, for each child. Wow. Uh so if you have a family of two, you get two gallons of milk for the week. If you have a family of four, we have one family of one car of eight. Uh they got eight gallons of milk. Um we give out 1,022 7-day meals. 1,022. Um so again, just one of and it's the first time we've ever done

126it and it's really just tremendous. It's so important and needed for our community. It absolutely is. Um, now not every district's doing it this way, but we decided to go ahead and jump on board early because it's good for kids and families, and that's our northstar. That's why we're here. So, um, summer care, we're also providing summer care, almost 140 participants this year. It's the first time we've run summer care, especially to that level. Um, we got lots of activities planned, including hopefully bouncy house Fridays at some point. We'll get that going. Lots of smiles out there. I got saying that. Um uh but really our staff's doing a fantastic job. It's kind of our a part of our early uh learning director and our vision of providing um opportunities for kids to to be

127around the learning experiences. That's that's really what we're all about. Um art camp will be at Justice the 23rd through the 27th. I think we've got about 35 plus people scheduled for our art camp. It's the first year we've kind of run art camp. um we had a different program the last couple years, but um we're going to be we're going to be doing that ourselves. And so, uh we'll kind of spread the love, joy, and social media presence out there for all those. And then a couple um conferences in July, just to make you guys aware of, is our career technical education or CTE state conference. We've got a group from our ATC, also our high school, some administrators. If you guys are interested in going to that, just let me know. We'll see

128if we got any time left, but we'll learn all things workforce ready, career, technical education, pathways, really trying to pour into what we offer our students in regards to workforce. And then the Kentucky Association of School Administrators, KSA, we planned the district retreat um in late July.
