Cincinnati, Ohio, 45220

Continued Review: Policy 8515 – Wellness

Dr. Jamsion updated and reiterated revisions to the policy that he discussed with the Board at a Committee of the Whole

meeting on September 21, 2016 and at a Policy Committee meeting on February 13, 2017.

Dr. Jamison’s summary of edits to the policy included:

Change language from “Support” to “Encourage” where necessary

Change time of day requirements on physical activity

Some schools don’t have recess – language has to account for this.

District Wellness Committee (DWC) oversight of implementation, monitoring and communication

Goal Area 3

Add the implementation of the Employee Wellness Program “in cooperation with the district’s benefits committee”

Goal Area 4

Change “(approved) water bottles” to “keep hydrated during the school day”

Make distinction of “non-food service vending machines” in relationship to “Vending Machines” and “School Stores”

Goal Area 4 – School Meals and Nutrition: School Meals Policy Guidelines

Remove “appealing, attractive and pleasing”

Remove “lunch following recess”

Goal Area 6

Remove reference to “All students” in Goal Area 6 language

Remove PE throughout the school year as a requirement for elementary schools

Physical Education teachers required to maintain license

Kept waivers and exemptions for physical education “may be granted” for students with disabilities, 504 etc.

Goal Area 7

Adjust language regarding recess and physical activities

Dr. Jamison informed the Committee about the United States Department of Agriculture’s (USDA) provisions for the Final

Rule on local educational agency’s (LEA) wellness policies. On July 29, 2016, the USDA Food and Nutrition Service (FNS)

finalized regulations to create a framework and guidelines for written wellness policies established by LEAs. The Final Rule

requires LEAs to begin developing a revised local school wellness policy during school year 2016 -2017. The revised policy

must be in place by June 30, 2017.

Dr. Jamison reviewed and compared the provisions with the District’s Wellness Policy and reported that the policy is in line

with the requirements of the Final Rule.

Committee Chair Jones inquired about the rule requiring LEA’s to review the policy every three years, at a minimum. Dr.

Jamison recommended that the document be reviewed every three years.

The final rule was published on July 29, 2016 and can be found online at:

http://www.fns.usda.gov/tn/local-school-wellness-policy

Dr. Jamison reported that roll-out of the policy will be at the beginning of the school year. He will attach a cover memo

explaining what is in the document. He will also meet with Public Affairs to make the document available online. Quarterly

meetings at the schools will be conducted to educate staff members/school liaisons on the goal areas. Dr. Jamison will work

with Mayerson Academy for consideration of professional development credit as it relates to implementing the policy.

Committee member Hoffman asked if schools have bike racks. Mr. Moehring reported that some schools have bike racks, and

that they can be provided for schools that request them. The racks are provided by the Cincinnati Recreation Commission.

ACTION: Mrs. Hoffman advised to add safe bike routes as an agenda item for discussion at City Council member

PG Sittenfeld’s ACES (Alliance for Community and Educational Success) committee meeting.

Mrs. Shelly, Director of Food Service reported that evaluation of the Wellness Policy is due in January 2018.

ACTION: The Committee will recommend the policy to the Board for approval at the June 26, 2017 Regular Board

meeting.

Guidelines for PFLAG

Daniel Hoying, General Counsel

Mr. Hoying provided and discussed with the Committee a draft memo of general guidelines regarding the District’s requirement

to report to parents about the sexual orientation and gender identity of students.

The draft memo contained information from the Massachusetts Department of Elementary and Secondary Education – Bullying

Prevention and Intervention Resources: Guidance on Notifying Parents When a Student Has Been Bullied Based on Sexual

Orientation or Gender Identity/Expression.

Mr. Hoying reported that he met with Assistant Superintendent Bill Myles and Susan Bunte, the Director of Student Services

about appropriate guidelines. Discussions are still ongoing in order to come to consensus on best practices.

Ms. Jones reiterated the need for conversations to take place with students, GLSEN and PFLAG for their feedback on coming

up with equitable best practices and their perceptions about schools making parents aware of their sexual priorities. Mr. Hoying

will also review his draft memo during those meetings.

ACTION: The Committee will continue discussion of the guidelines at the July 10, 2017 Policy Committee meeting.

Director in contacting leagues to address bullying and other issues that may occur at events.

conduct.”

REPORT OF THE AD HOC BOARD PRIORITIES COMMITTEE

The Ad Hoc Board Priorities Committee met on Friday, June 16, 2017 at 9:30 AM at the Cincinnati Public Schools Education

Center in the Board Office Conference Room.

Discussion/Next Steps for Board Strategic Goals

The Board Strategic Goals were developed at the Board Retreat held on March 28, 2017. The Committee reviewed the Goals

Work Plan document that was created to monitor the progress of the goals and revised it for clarity and to be more specific

about owners.

The Committee discussed that the Goals Work Plan now includes what work the Board will hold itself responsible for

completing this year but does not include goals around how the Board will operate. The Board assessment, which members

completed in March, provides insight into where Board members believe the Board is operating at a high level and where it can

improve. In order to combine the Goals Work Plan and the results of the Board assessment into one user-friendly document to

monitor the Board’s work, Board member Hoffman would like to enlist the assistance of Jillian Darwish, President of Mayerson

Academy. Once that work is completed, Ad Hoc will meet to review and forward on for full Board approval.

ACTION: Board member Hoffman to enlist the assistance of Jillian Darwish to create a user-friendly Board goals

document

ACTION: At the Board meeting on June 26, 2017, assignments will be made to the following:

Board Office staff to manage the Board's calendar dates and schedules to ensure required actions and

deadlines are met and that all meetings and retreats are scheduled.

The Student Achievement Committee to communicate to Administration the measures for Vision 2020

developed by the Board at the retreat; SAC to receive report on Vision 2020, My Tomorrow, Whole Child

at its June meeting.

Ad Hoc Leadership

Due to time considerations, Board Chair Jones stated she will be stepping down as Committee Chair. Committee member

Bolton nominated Committee member Hoffman to the position. Ms. Jones seconded the motion. The vote was unanimous in

favor of Mrs. Hoffman.

The meeting adjourned at 11:00 AM.

Ad Hoc Board Priorities Committee

Carolyn Jones, Chair

Eve Bolton

Elisa Hoffman

Mrs. Hoffman moved that the Report of the Ad Hoc Board Priorities Committee be accepted.

Passed viva voce.



The Ad Hoc Board Priorities Committee met on Tuesday, June 20, 2017 at 9:30 AM at the Cincinnati Public Schools Education

Center in the Board Office Conference Room.

2018 Board Meetings Calendar

Committee member Hoffman reviewed with the Committee a draft of the Board’s internal work calendar in order to align the

Board’s work and responsibilities with the Board’s 2018 business meeting calendar.

Committee member Bolton discussed a suggestion from Administration that Monday night meetings begin at 6:30 p.m. to better

accommodate constituents’ schedules, and Wednesday meetings begin at 11:00 a.m. The Committee agreed to recommend

these new start times to the Board.

Committee members also discussed scheduling the quarterly Board retreats into the calendar. They will suggest two retreats be

scheduled for Saturdays to give Board members the time and space to complete the important goal setting/evaluation work.

They discussed scheduling the April budget retreat during a regular Wednesday meeting time since that worked well this year,

and the summer retreat also during a regular Wednesday meeting. They also suggested moving the June retreat to July since

June is historically very busy with budget work and the last graduations, while July is a slower month, thus allowing the Board

the time to focus on this important work.

Committee members also discussed when it might make sense to hold meetings at school sites so that the Board goes to

constituents instead of always asking constituents to come to us. Two fall meetings in 2017 are scheduled for school sites. The

Committee will suggest three school-based meetings for 2018 and include potential dates for those meetings on the calendar.

June 26 492 2017


(cont.)

ACTION: The Committee will present the revised calendar to the Board for recommendation of

approval at the June 26, 2017 Regular Board meeting.

There was also a recommendation from Administration to conduct committee meetings around the noon hour. The Ad Hoc

Committee advised that committees will take this into consideration as they determine their preferred meeting times after the

organizational meeting in January.

Other Business

Mrs. Hoffman reported that, per the last Ad Hoc Committee meeting assignment, she will meet with Jillian Darwish after July 5,

2017 to combine the Goals Work Plan and the results of the Board assessment into one user-friendly document to monitor the

Board’s work. Once that work is completed, Ad Hoc will meet to review and forward on for full Board approval.

The meeting adjourned at 10:44 A.M.

Lobbyist Projects Update

Ms. Cahall reported that the commission is sun-setting the Joint Education Oversight Committee on October 1, 2017. That was

House Bill 49

The Ohio Senate is due to release its final version of the budget Tuesday, June 20. It will be swiftly voted on by

the Ohio Senate Wednesday, June 22. A House-Senate Conference Committee will work to reconcile the differences

between the two budgets. The negotiations have been ongoing so it is expected the Conference Committee will come to a

relatively quick compromise. Once both House & Senate approve, the budget will be sent to Governor Kasich. It is

estimated to be sent to the Governor by June 28.

Issues of Interest to CPS in the 1st Senate Version:

Restores current law on textbook costs within College Credit Plus

Allow the chancellor to approve a CCP payment rate below the default floor, rather than require the chancellor to

approve that rate.

Modifies requirements that higher education institutions pay the cost of college readiness9assessments for

CCP students.

Maintains the House reduction in transportation and capacity aid.

o Education funding statewide would not keep pace with inflation

o Accounting for inflation, K-12 funding still has not returned to pre-recession levels

Factors influencing current funding capacity

o The state faces a funding shortfall that could reach $1 billion

o Diversion of funds to combat the ongoing opioid crisis

Trends around the state

o Targeted investments from state funding are very limited under this proposal

With few exceptions, funding for individual school districts is static

Grant programs (Straight A Fund, Finish Your Future, college ready transition programs) eliminated

o Though schools are flat-funded, the focus of budget structure is on stability of district funding

Districts earning performance bonuses and making career technical investments are protected from a

swift elimination of those funding sources from budget to budget

No sweeping changes in the funding formula from the prior two budget cycles

Districts are protected from heavy population losses and private sector divestment in areas

dependent on one source of local revenue (affects mostly small, rural districts)

Long Term Implications of this budget on Ohio K-12 Education

Ohio now raises more revenue from its sales tax than income tax (recent shift)

o If consumption decreases for any reason (recession, interest rate increases), what does this mean for state

funding capacity?

o If the opioid crisis deepens as expected, how will education funding be affected?

Other Education Issues

Scope and intent of incentives for private, parochial school attendance

Charter/E-School Sponsor language

Coordination of K-12 programming with higher education and job training

Potential for new education programming

Eliminates the Joint Education Oversight Committee as of October 1

Incorporates SB 36 as passed by the Senate dealing with CAUV formula changes

Ohio Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA) Plan

Throughout May and into June, the Ohio Department of Education (ODE) has been releasing pieces of the Ohio ESSA

Plan. The majority of the plan has been released with some significant changes to the previous plan.

ODE is seeking input and comments on the plan. The timeline for comments is very short because ODE has scheduled

a presentation to the State Board of Education July 10/11.

A working group within CPS has been reviewing the plan and a set of comprehensive and concise comments will be

created.

Nan Cahall is participating in the CPS Ohio ESSA review working group.

Legislation requiring legislature review prior to submission has been introduced. Please see HB 235 below.

Still Pending

Dates to invite SW Ohio Legislators to visit CPS – Can we get a few dates?

Bill Blessing – member Finance Subcommittee on Primary & Secondary Education, Bill Seitz, Tom

Brinkman, Alicia Reece, Brigid Kelly, Catherine Ingram, Cecil Thomas, Louis Terhar, Steve Wilson.

Federal Tax Reform

o Identify concerns related to tax proposals– think we need a little more background on what the

proposals are and how they affect CPS.

o Invite Reps/Sen to visit this summer and discuss tax reform

o In the least send a letter

ACTION: The Finance Committee will schedule a breakfast to invite Southwest Ohio Legislators to meet with the Board

and the Administration to provide the Legislators with an update on CPS, learn about new programs that have

yielded strong outcomes, and visit with students at the schools. With an emphasis on workforce development

and other innovative programs, Superintendent Ronan suggested hosting it at SCPA and other downtown

schools sending representatives. The meeting will be scheduled on a Monday or Friday morning to

accommodate legislator’s schedules.

Cincinnati Preschool Promise (CPP) Update

Ms. Byrd reiterated with the Committee about discussions that took place with CPS and CPP representatives on June 20, 2017

meeting.

A small group of representatives met to discuss how best to allocate the preschool budget in order to fulfill the promises we

made to the public, specifically around tuition assistance, and stay within the master agreement that all parties agreed to.

Please find attached to these minutes a copy of a memo that Treasurer Wagner provided to the Board about the discussions.
