Annual Total for All Lines $917,273 $983,603

This is the annual proposal for the total insurance package for USD 305. Assurance Partners provides USD 305 with consultative broker services for all lines. The Kansas Educational Risk Management Pool, LLC (KERMP) is a protected self-insurance risk management program that gives districts long-term stability in premiums, as well as broader coverages. This will be the fifth year of membership in the pool. Premiums are paid to KERMP to purchase insurance for the group as a whole, and part is retained to fund for losses. In the event the loss fund is not fully depleted during the policy year, the district has the opportunity to have these funds returned in the forms of dividends. The amount we contribute to the loss fund is impacted by the district’s loss history.

Due to the market place and a partnership with KASB, membership has increased to approximately 80 members, and is expected to continue to grow in membership. This growth will benefit the pool in securing coverage. Lisa Peters, executive director of business, serves on the KERMP Board of Trustees. This is also the fifth year with United Heartland for workers compensation. When comparing the premium cost for all lines, there is an increase of $66,330. Over the last several years, the commercial insurance marketplace has experienced record-setting losses. The catastrophic weather-related events include hurricanes, tornados, wildfires and flooding. As a result, the entire marketplace for property insurance is tightening. In addition, cyber liability is an area of risk as more online and electronic systems are used. With the expertise of

Page 38: U.S.D. 305 BOARD AGENDA District Offices

the KERMP program, multiple insurance carriers were contacted for renewal quotes. Without this expertise, premium increases would have been much larger. The proposal recommendation is listed above for approval. A comparative summary of insurance lines is attached.

By pooling the expertise of district leadership, KERMP and Assurance Partners, USD 305 has implemented an overall risk management program with techniques to measure and monitor the selected products and strategies designed to protect the district, its patrons, students and staff in an efficient and cost effective manner. It is recommended that you approve the Encumbrance Listings as presented.

V.-k. Consent Agenda Approve CKCIE Contract with Presence Learning

Central Kansas Cooperative in Education (CKCIE) continues to have 5.0 FTE openings in the speech language pathology (SLP) department based on the current number of students receiving speech therapy. This spring, CKCIE was able to hire 5.5 FTE for SLPs but had 4.0 FTE in resignations received at the end of the year.

There continues to be a tremendous shortage of certified SLPs in the state. To compound the shortage within the school setting, SLPs have the ability to work in both the educational and medical environments. Many current graduates in this area have chosen to work in the medical environment due to higher salaries paid.

This has forced the administrative team at CKCIE, for a seventh year, to look for other options to serve students, one being tele-therapy. Tele-therapy occurs when a SLP with a Kansas license is located at a remote site and services are delivered by monitor/ webcam. A paraeducator sits with the child during the therapy sessions. During the last several school years, CKCIE utilized this service through the Presence Learning Corporation as a stop-gap measure. The company provided services for 430 students this past school year. CKCIE is pleased with the quality of therapy provided to our students.

For the 2021-2022 school year, it is recommended that CKCIE utilize the Presence Learning Corporation to service a minimum of 350 students.

The estimated cost of contract services is approximately $800,000. Cost per hour is $72. Since CKCIE has been a past customer, the one-time technical set-up fee of $64 per student has been waived. This represents a savings of $16,000. We also would request to purchase access to the Presence Learning software platform for each of our on-site therapists. This software empowers them to work with students in many settings. If a SLP travels a great deal, the therapist can provide services from a remote location to students in rural settings; or, if a child is ill, the therapist can still work with a child without exposure to the illness. A one-time, annual cost for the software is $16,200 for access for all therapists for the year.

The total salary/benefits of the 5.0 FTE of SLPs, who CKCIE was unable to replace, is $324,960. This contract is for one school year and will be revisited in April 2022 to see if the services are needed again for the 2022-2023 school year. The goal will be for this to be utilized for one year and then hire replacement SLPs, if they are available.

It is recommended that you approve the contract with Presence Learning for the 2021- 2022 school year for a minimum of 350 students as presented.

V.-n. Consent Agenda Approve Mental Health Grant Request

The Kansas State Department of Education has invited districts to submit grant proposals for projects that coordinate school-based services with a community mental health center. The grants will be for the 2021-2022 school year. The Mental Health Intervention Team (MHIT) Program provides school districts grants to hire school liaisons to assist and provide mental health services to students and grants for community mental health centers. The grant will provide funds to pay for 75% of the school liaison’s salary and fringe benefits. Based on the grant amount awarded to the district, the contracting community mental health center will receive a separate payment, which will flow through the school district.

Salina Public Schools and Central Kansas Mental Health Center have been partnering for many years to meet the needs of students. The opportunity of the grant allows for these efforts to be continued and strengthened. The district will put forward an application requesting funding for six school liaison positions. The application amount is for $279,000 with a district match of $93,000. This is the same grant that was submitted and awarded by KSDE in 2019-2020 and 2020-2021.

It is recommended that you approve the Mental Health Intervention Team Program Grant request as presented.

SATC in this Lease relating to the use of the Premises so that the interest on the Bonds will continue to be

excluded from gross income for federal income tax purposes. In order to maintain the tax-exempt status

of the Bonds, SATC hereby agrees that it will take whatever action, and refrain from whatever action,

necessary to comply with the applicable requirements of the Code and will not allow use of the Premises

in a manner that would violate applicable provisions of the Code.

3.1 In General. The District is a public educational institution duly created, organized and existing under

the laws of the State of Kansas. SATC agrees that the District under the terms of this Lease has the right

to use the Premises for the sole purpose of operating a public educational program and the activities

Page 89: U.S.D. 305 BOARD AGENDA District Offices

3.2. No Private Business Use. Throughout the term of the Lease, SATC will not use, or permit-the use of,

the Premises in any manner that could jeopardize the exclusion of the interest on the Bonds from gross

income for federal income tax purposes. SATC will not sell or otherwise transfer to a Non-Qualified User

any special legal rights to use the Premises during the term of the Lease or any Lease extension without

first obtaining the prior written consent of the District. For this purpose, Non-Qualified User means any

person or entity other than a State, territory, possession of the United States, the District of Columbia, or

any political subdivision thereof, or any instrumentality of such entity, but the term Non-Qualified User

includes the United States or any agency or instrumentality of the United States.

3.3. Reasonable Use. Both parties agree that the Premises shall not be used or occupied for any purpose

that constitutes a nuisance or may be objectionable to adjacent property; that it will not allow the escape

from the Premises of any fumes, odors, smoke, obnoxious gas, gases or other substances which are

offensive, or which constitute a nuisance or interfere with the conduct of other business in the area.

3.4 Signage. During the Term of this Agreement, SATC hereby grants to the District the ability to use the

sign at the entrance to campus located at the intersection of Centennial Rd. and Derussy Rd. The

appearance, location, and payment for costs of any additional signage will be mutually agreed upon by

the District and SATC. Any additional signage for use by the District but requiring permanent installation

on the SATC campus property will be installed and paid for by SATC. Any such costs apportioned to the

District by mutual agreement of the parties will be reimbursed as additional rental subject to paragraph

2.2 above.

4. Environmental Concerns.

4.1. Acknowledgements. The District and SATC acknowledge that:

The Premises are located on property upon which the former Schilling Air Force Base ("SAFB") was

located. The former SAFB is known to contain areas of soil and groundwater contamination,

primarily from the use and disposal of chlorinated solvents and petroleum products caused by

activities at the former SAFB during its operation as an active duty military base from 1942 to 1965.

The public entities directly involved with environmental matters at the former SAFB (including the

District; the City of Salina, the Salina Airport Authority, and Kansas State University, collectively the

"Public Entities") are currently involved in remediation of the soil and groundwater contamination

resulting from operation of the former SAFB.

4.2 District's Responsibility Regarding Former SAFB.

While the District is not responsible for the former SAFB soil and groundwater contamination, the District,

will continue its involvement with the remedy of the soil and groundwater contamination as a member of

the Public Entities.

Irrespective of any other provision of this Lease to the contrary, SATC agrees that the District shall have

unlimited access to the Premises for the purpose of installing, maintaining, and monitoring all existing and

future equipment, installations, or processes determined by the Public Entities to be necessary for the

purpose of analysis or remediation of any environmental contamination. The District shall be responsible

for the costs and expenses of such activities and the operation of such equipment subject to SATC's

obligations for costs and expenses under §5 below.

5. Improvements to or Destruction of Premises. SATC shall retain ultimate authority under this Lease for

all decisions regarding the improvement, other than normal day-to-day maintenance and repairs, of the

premises and destruction ("razing") of buildings.

5.1 District Improvements. Should the District’s use of the Premises require the need to build or construct

improvements on the Premises, the District shall submit, at its own expense, construction and site plans

thereof to SATC for its approval and secure the necessary building permits from the City of Salina and all

other applicable regulatory agencies. The responsibilities and obligations for payment of the costs

associated with any approved repairs, improvements, or construction approved by SATC shall be paid for

by SATC and the reimbursement for such payments shall be negotiated between the parties as an

additional rental subject to paragraph 2.2 above. Approval of the improvements, costs, and rental rate

for reimbursement shall be made in writing by the parties before any such work is started. Any repairs,

improvements, or new construction shall conform to the following:

5.1.1 Any improvements to the Premises shall be restricted to those designed to assist the function and

purpose of a public educational institution.

5.1.2 All construction shall conform to applicable Building Codes, including but not limited to asbestos

attached to the Premises or placed on or about the Premises by the District shall be considered personal

property and shall remain the property of the District, which, in the absence of any other contrary

provision of the Lease or written agreement of the parties, shall have the right to remove the same from

the Premises upon the expiration of this Lease so long as such removal does not impair the structural

features or integrity of the improvements presently on the Premises. The District grants to SATC an

enforceable security interest in the fixtures and equipment to secure the District’s obligations under this

Lease to the extent any ascertainable damages resulting from the District’s default under this Lease.

7. Removal of Fixtures. Except as otherwise provided in this Lease or as otherwise agreed in writing by the

parties, on or before the date of expiration of this Lease or any extension thereof or upon termination of

this Lease for any reason, the District shall vacate the Premises, remove its property there from and

restore the Premises to as good an order and condition as that existing upon the commencement of the

term of this Lease, damages beyond the control of the District and due to normal wear and tear excepted.

If, however, the District fails to remove the fixtures and/or to restore the Premises to substantially the

same condition as existed at commencement of the Lease, then SATC may remove the fixtures and restore

the Premises and, at its discretion, (a) may retain the fixtures and property until such time as the District

reimburses SATC for all its expenses connected therewith or (2) execute on its security interest in fixtures

and equipment to the extent of its expenses connected with the removal of the fixtures and restoration

of the Premises.

8. Waiver. Waiver by SATC of any breach of this Lease shall not be construed as a continuing waiver of a

subsequent breach nor imply further indulgence.

be entitled to give a notice of default. If the District cures the default described in the notice within thirty

(30) days (or within such other period as may be agreed upon by the parties if it is not feasible for the

default to be cured within thirty (30) days of its receipt), the default shall be deemed cured. If the District

fails to cure the default, the following shall apply:

9.1 Breach of Substantial Obligation. If during the term of this Lease the District materially breaches any

substantial obligation under the Lease and fails to cure the breach after notice as described above, SATC

may re-enter, take possession of the Premises, and execute on its security interest in the fixtures and

equipment for satisfaction of any loss or damages resulting from the default.

otherwise provided in this Lease, or in the event there is any dispute arising out of or relating to this Lease

or the interpretation or meaning thereof, the parties agree they will resolve the matter utilizing the

following procedure:

SATC and the District agree they will attempt in good faith to resolve such dispute promptly by

negotiation or through mediation before seeking assistance through the courts. Nothing in the

foregoing shall be construed to prevent any party from seeking from the District Court of Saline

County, Kansas, a temporary restraining order, or other temporary or preliminary injunctive

relief pending final resolution of any dispute pursuant to this paragraph or from exercising any

other right or remedy available at law or in equity for any unwarranted or attempted

termination or cancellation of this Lease.

10. Exigent Circumstances. Notwithstanding any other provision of the Lease to the contrary, upon notice

of an exigency, SATC may re-enter and take possession of the Premises without serving notice of any kind.

that upon the termination of this Lease, whether because of cancellation, forfeiture or agreement of the

parties, it will surrender immediate possession of the Premises and all parts thereof to SATC in good

In the event possession be not immediately surrendered, SATC, with or without process of law, may

forthwith re-enter the Premises and repossess the same or any part thereof in the name of the whole and

expel there from using such force as may be necessary, all persons and property without being deemed

guilty of any unlawful act and without prejudice to any other legal remedy available to SATC.

fees, or other utilities used by it during the term of this Lease or any extensions thereof.

13. Assignment of Lease. The parties acknowledge that their circumstances and capabilities are sufficiently

unique that this Lease and the benefits and duties thereunder are not subject to assignment by either

party whether in whole or in part, without the prior written consent of the other party, which will not be-

unreasonably withheld or delayed.

14. Inspection of Premises. The District agrees that SATC and its employees and agents shall have free

access to the grounds and exterior portions of the Premises and buildings thereon for the purpose of

examining or inspecting the condition of the same or exercising any right or power reserved SATC under

the terms and provisions of this Lease. With the exception of examination and inspection by SATC’s

Director of Operations, which may occur at any time of day or night, access by other SATC personnel to

interior portions of the buildings located on the Premises shall, except in emergency or unusual situations,

be during normal administrative operating hours and shall not unreasonably or unnecessarily interfere

with scheduled classroom and educational activities occurring on the Premises. To the extent possible,

but not as a limitation on SATC’s right, SATC shall attempt to provide the District with advance notice of

its intended inspections and examinations of the interior portions of the buildings located on the

premises.

15. Notices. All notices and demands related to a default shall be given in writing either by personal service

or by registered or certified mail, postage prepaid, and return receipt requested. All other notices may be

Enrollment After the Start of the School Year or Semester Enrollment in Salina Virtual is possible at the end of each semester.

Full-Time Students All students are required to be enrolled full-time with Salina Virtual. Attendance and Truancy Virtual students under the age of 18 are subject to the requirements of compulsory attendance (K.S.A. 72-1111) and truancy (K.S.A. 72-1113).

Page 100: U.S.D. 305 BOARD AGENDA District Offices

Attendance will be documented through a combination of measures: ● online time monitored through log-in and program progress; ● offline time using academic activity log; and ● on-site activities.

Making sure your student engages in school every day is one of the most important things you can do to help your student succeed in Salina Virtual. Parents/guardians are responsible for ensuring their student is fully participating in school while at home. Absence Reporting Procedure The parent, guardian, or learning coach will contact the homeroom teacher by email before 10:00 a.m. to report a student absence from a required synchronous activity. Students will also be considered absent if there is no evidence of student engagement in assigned academic work and/or there is no evidence of participation in required school events. The school principal will communicate with parent/guardian about attendance concerns to develop a plan prior to recording unexcused absences or proceeding with any truancy filings. Virtual schooling has flexibility in determining when school work can be completed, but the expectation is students will be fully engaged in the learning process. Truancy Reports According to Kansas Compulsory Attendance Law, when a student has unexcused absences on three consecutive school days, five school days in a semester, or seven school days in a school year, whichever occurs first, a report of truancy will be made to the county attorney for legal action. Required Instructional Hours Attendance is based on students logging in to our student information systems and our learning management system, as well as the regular submission of coursework. Regardless of the amount of time a student misses due to absences, the student is required to complete all coursework included in the course gradebook and assessment list. Excessive absences may lead to a student being considered truant. Health related absences of three or more consecutive school days may also require a doctor’s note. Regardless of the amount of time a student misses due to excused absences, the student is required to complete all coursework included in the course gradebook and assessment list. All other absences will be considered unexcused. Students in Good Standing Students are considered ‘in good standing’ if all of the following expectations are met:

● complete the minimum amount of progress per week in courses (including lessons, projects, quizzes and tests);

● attend the required virtual meetings each week; and ● actively communicates with teaching advisor.

Page 101: U.S.D. 305 BOARD AGENDA District Offices

On Academic Notice A student is placed on academic notice if they do not meet the requirements of a student in good standing for one week. The teacher is then required to collaborate with the student to outline a plan by which the student can return to good standing. Failing that, the student is placed on academic warning and a stricter intervention plan is outlined by the teacher, the student, parent, and principal. If the plan is unsuccessful still, the student is placed on academic probation and a meeting is called with parent, student, principal, and teacher to outline lengthier terms to remain enrolled in the school. If the student remains uncommitted to the work and unable to achieve success in the virtual environment, then truancy measures will be taken. Processes and procedures are established for virtual students for provision of special education, English for Speakers of Other Languages (ESOL), migrant, and homeless services. Field Trips and On-Site Events Salina Virtual students will have the opportunity to participate in pre-arranged field trips and on-site events. Most of these trips and events will require the student to be accompanied by his/her learning coach (K-6). Families are responsible for transportation and any costs that may be required for the field trip. These activities are optional but highly encouraged as they provide for student interaction, collaboration, and connecting virtual learning to real-life applications. Student behavior expectations for events follow the USD 305 behavior guidelines. Eligibility In order to be eligible to participate in any Salina Virtual activity, students need to be considered in good standing as defined. (See ‘Students in Good Standing’) Students attending Salina Virtual are not eligible to participate in athletic and non-athletic activities regulated by the Kansas State High School Activities Association (KSHSAA). Salina Virtual students are encouraged to take advantage of the community opportunities available (e.g. community theater, recreation leagues, etc.) as an alternative. Student Code of Conduct (Online and In-Person) Salina Virtual follows all USD 305 policies in regards to student code of conduct. Inappropriate behavior includes but is not limited to:

● insults or attacks of any kind against another person; ● disobedience, non-compliance, and/or inappropriate behavior; ● use of obscene, degrading, or profane language; ● harassment (continually posting unwelcome messages to another person) or use of threats; ● posting material that is obscene or defamatory or which is intended to annoy, harass or

intimidate another person, this includes distributing “spam” mail, chain email, viruses, or other intentionally destructive content; and

● verbal, emotional, cyber or physical bullying. If a student displays inappropriate behavior, there will be consequences. Consequences will depend on type and severity of behavior.

Page 102: U.S.D. 305 BOARD AGENDA District Offices

Dress Code For students, personal grooming and dress is an individual responsibility and subject to the restrictions and limitations imposed by parents/guardians. The district’s dress and appearance rules will serve as guidelines for students and parents/guardians in interpretation of what is appropriate school dress and appearance. The following rules are intended to reflect the district’s desire that clothing be appropriate for school wear:

● some type of footwear shall be required (in-person events); ● a student’s dress or appearance shall not present a danger to his/her physical health or safety

or the physical health and safety of others; and ● a student’s dress or appearance shall not present a distraction to the educational process.

The administrator will have the final determination in whether student dress is inappropriate. Students wearing inappropriate school clothing will be required to change clothes or remove accessories. Academic Dishonesty Salina Public Schools has established a high expectation for academic integrity. Academic dishonesty in any form will not be tolerated. Students who violate this standard will be subject to disciplinary procedures. Communication of this policy through this handbook is considered a warning. Students found to have participated in academic dishonesty will receive disciplinary consequences as listed on the discipline chart. Examples of academic dishonesty include but are not limited to the following:

● verbally or in writing giving another student answers on assignments, papers, quizzes, tests, or other academic activities;

● using the Internet, books, other student’s notes, or other sources to obtain information and answers while taking a quiz, test, or exam;

● logging into someone else’s Edgenuity, Google, or other accounts; ● copying, paraphrasing or summarizing another person’s work without citing that source; ● copying and pasting items from anywhere and using it as your answer; and ● using material, including photographs, from the internet or any other source and representing

them as your own, even if you have changed some of the words. Inclement Weather / School Closings Salina Virtual will follow the same closures for inclement weather as the rest of USD 305. Courses, Credits, and Assessments Goals and objectives of course content correlates to USD 305 and Kansas state standards to ensure quality in content. Students and parents will be provided with the correlating standards upon request. A syllabus containing important information (outlines, expectations, grading policies, and completion timelines) will be provided for each course. Credit is awarded when students have met all goals and objectives, demonstrating competence in course content.

Page 103: U.S.D. 305 BOARD AGENDA District Offices

Mandatory Participation in State Testing Salina Virtual students are required to participate in state testing as required by USD 305. This testing will take place on-site and be proctored by Salina Virtual staff. Special needs support will be provided as it is for brick-and-mortar students.

As many programs may not be able to serve their funded enrollment while responding to the COVID pandemic, programs’ current funding levels will not be reduced. Actual enrollment figures will not be considered in determining a grantee’s enrollment status at this time. OHS will continue to monitor program’s monthly enrollment, but evaluation of under or fully enrolled grantees has been paused.”

6) Family Engagement Activity. On April 22, 2021 we were excited to hold a parent-child engagement drive through

opportunity for Head Start families. Family Consultants created a pizza activity the children could color and cut out and a nutritional handout on how to incorporate healthy foods on a pizza. As families drove through they were given pizza(s) for dinner and an activity bag for each enrolled child that included the pizza activity, crayons, nutritional handout, and a book “Pizza Pig”. We had 23 families participate and handed out 53 pizzas.

7) Since the pandemic, Head Start programs have received three rounds of one-time additional funding. Round one was used for 2020 summer school, additional teacher assistants, salaries and COVID supplies. Round two and Round three funds have a two-year timeline. We engaged the PC reps during our May meeting regarding the following categories for how funds can be used: strategies for reaching more families, preparing facilities for in-person services and supporting Head Start employees. Our reps for their thoughts offered the following suggestions: improving playgrounds, more professional development opportunities, paying for college coursework, purchasing more hotspots to be used on home visits, staff wellness and team-building activities. See below for the Program Instruction outlining more expectations.

8) ACF-PI-HS-21-03 FY 2021 American Rescue Plan Funding Increase for Head Start Programs (included). The expectation

for Head Start/EHS programming has always been to provide safe and high-quality early childhood learning opportunities for children and families. The funding as explained in #7 above gives programs a chance to reach out and serve because across the board Head Start programs served 1/3 fewer children than before the pandemic began. Programs are encouraged to invest in activities that are one-time or temporary but have a long-term impact.

9) ACF-PI-HS-21-04 Office of Head Start (OHS) Expectations for Head Start Programs in Program Year (PY) 2021-2022

(included). OHS is providing guidance via this Program Instruction as programs begin to prepare for 2021-22. • Operating Status and Enrollment – programs are expected to work toward full enrollment and full comprehensive

services. In September ’21, OHS will begin reviewing monthly enrollment (this was paused last program year). Programs must communicate with their regional program specialist in unable to be fully enrolled. Beginning January ’22, regular tracking and monitoring will be reinstated and if under-enrolled, an action plan will be initiated.

• Virtual and Remote Services – OHS recognizes that virtual and remote services are not an acceptable replacement for in-person comprehensive services which is the expectation.

• Recruitment and Selection – OHS expects programs to prioritize recruitment. Community Assessments should be updated to guide recruitment efforts and review their established selection criteria.

Page 109: U.S.D. 305 BOARD AGENDA District Offices

10) Self-Assessment Update In light of COVID-19, Heartland came up with creative solutions for recruitment by re-defining our committee and creating recruitment videos for all program options that have been effective for use on social media, etc. To increase community connections, we have designated a staff member to look for opportunities in our community to partner and exchange referrals. The group delivered baskets to the medical community to thank them for their support of our program. Each basket contained brochures, applications, etc. to hand out as needed. In December, Heartland began a quarantine support project for families and staff providing assistance with non-perishable food and household items (laundry detergent, etc.) during quarantine. Heartland staff demonstrated overwhelming support for the project and provided enough items and funding to last through April.

PROGRAM INSTRUCTION

TO: Head Start and Early Head Start Grantees and Delegate Agencies

SUBJECT: FY 2021 American Rescue Plan Funding Increase for Head Start Programs

INSTRUCTION:

President Biden signed Public Law 117-2, the American Rescue Plan Act, 2021 (ARP), into law on March 11, 2021. The $1.9 trillion American Rescue Plan includes $1 billion for Head Start programs. All Head Start, Early Head Start, and Early Head Start-Child Care (EHS-CC) Partnership grantees are eligible to receive additional funds proportionally based on funded enrollment levels.

When combined with the $750 million in the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act and the $250 million in supplemental funds in the Coronavirus Response and Relief Supplemental Appropriations (CRRSA) Act, the Head Start program has received a total of $2 billion in additional funding to support staff, children, and families during this unprecedented time.

This Program Instruction (PI) provides examples of activities grantees can consider as they continue supporting children and families and investing in safe and high-quality early childhood learning opportunities for children. This PI also describes the application requirements for these funds.

Use of Funding

The Office of Head Start (OHS) strongly encourages grantees to prioritize additional weeks of Head Start and Early Head Start programming with this funding, through summer programs or as extensions of the program year. At this time, Head Start programs are serving one-third fewer children than before the pandemic began. With ARP funding, programs have an opportunity to reach eligible children and families who did not enroll last year, or who did not engage in a full program year, due to the many uncertainties caused by the pandemic. Grantees are encouraged to prioritize programs for rising kindergartners, children with disabilities, children experiencing food or housing insecurity, children that were not able to receive any in-person services this year, or other areas determined by community needs.

Page 111: U.S.D. 305 BOARD AGENDA District Offices

Grantees do have flexibility to determine which one-time investments best support the needs of staff, children, and families, while adhering to federal, state, and local guidance. In making these determinations, grantees should consider how the use of the one-time funds could meet both short- and long-term needs and determine whether purchasing, leasing, or contracting for services is more prudent.

Other uses of funding include, but are not limited to, the following:

Reach More Families

· Enrollment and recruitment. Now is the time to focus on re-enrollment and enrolling new families. Programs can use funds to purchase services, materials, and technology to ramp up recruitment and enrollment efforts so that as a program you able to enroll the eligible children and families in your community.

· Additional weeks of Head Start or Early Head Start programming. Extending the program year or offering summer programming to increase the time children and families receive services.

· Family supports. Addressing families’ economic security by partnering with them on employment, education, and career goals. Investing in the development of partnerships with local community colleges, apprenticeship programs, and local employers committed to helping Head Start and Early Head Start families find meaningful employment and career tracks. Assessing families’ nutritional, health, and wellness needs more frequently. Ensuring materials and resources are available in languages families understand.

· Mental health support for children and families. Employing additional family service workers and mental health consultants to assist families with adverse circumstances, including families who may be experiencing homelessness.

· Provision of meals and snacks not reimbursed by the U.S. Department of Agriculture, including purchasing kitchen equipment and supplies to support in-person meal service.

· Transportation. Hiring bus drivers and monitors to allow more trips with fewer children per bus. Purchasing buses and other vehicles that support continuity of program service and reaching families most in need of services, including families experiencing homelessness.

· Partnerships to increase the inclusion of children with disabilities. Providing more training for teachers and families and more support for families. Remodeling classrooms and playgrounds to be accessible.

· Partnerships to increase the enrollment of children experiencing homelessness. Partnering with local shelters and public schools to identify and serve children and families experiencing homelessness.

· Addressing unique needs within their communities, such as providing internet access to support extended learning.

Get Facilities Ready for In-person Comprehensive Services

Page 112: U.S.D. 305 BOARD AGENDA District Offices

· Ventilation to reduce risk of indoor transmission and make facilities safer. Installing new heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) systems or other improvements, such as windows that can open with safety measures to prevent falls.

· Outdoor learning and play. Purchasing or enhancing outdoor learning spaces, including nature-based learning and outdoor classrooms. Creating play areas and landscape features that promote exploration and discovery in a natural environment, such as plantings, gardens, and “loose parts” (i.e., materials for construction and pretend play), rather than traditional play structures or playgrounds.

· Cleaning supplies and services. Purchasing necessary supplies or contracting services to clean and disinfect facilities and vehicles.

· Renovations or other space modification. Converting available space into classrooms, modifying current classroom designs with room dividers, or adding well-ventilated modular classrooms.

· Additional space. Renting additional classroom space, due to physical distancing, to increase opportunities for more children to return to in-person services. Contracting for slots with child care providers in center-based or family child care settings to deliver comprehensive services.

· Other locally determined facility, staff, and equipment or partnership actions that are necessary to safely resume and maintain full in-person program operations.

Support Head Start Employees

· Planning sessions for staff. Preparing for a return to in-person comprehensive services starts to ensure everyone has the knowledge, skills, and resources necessary to operate effectively. This funding can be used to invest in planning sessions to prepare for providing services now and in the summer and fall.

· Staff wellness and mental health support. Conducting employee wellness surveys or engaging in other data collection to better understand the needs of team members. Increasing access to mental health consultation and therapy services for staff, contracting with an Employee Assistance Program (EAP), and instituting a staff wellness program that includes activities such as mindfulness breaks and opportunity for self reflection.

· Additional staff. Hiring additional classroom staff to meet physical distancing requirements or reduce group size. Bringing in full-time floaters to reduce the need to bring in outside substitutes.

· Professional learning and development for staff. Providing professional learning experiences on key topics such as equity, diversity, inclusion, bias, economic mobility, trauma-skilled practices, and other topics.

· Other personnel costs. Offering fringe benefits and expanding sick leave.· Vaccine support. Providing transportation assistance to vaccination sites and temporary

coverage to allow absence from the workplace for vaccination. Offering paid time off, sick leave, or other paid leave for the time spent receiving vaccination and if staff members experience side effects post-vaccination.

Grantees should carefully plan to engage in activities that are one-time or temporary in nature but have a long-term impact. Additional funding cannot be made available to sustain ongoing, long-term, or permanent expenses. For any ongoing activities, grantees would be responsible for

Page 113: U.S.D. 305 BOARD AGENDA District Offices

sustaining additional costs either within their existing operations budget or securing outside support to continue activities beyond what is allocated through this opportunity.

Application Requirements

All Head Start, Early Head Start, and EHS-CC Partnership grantees are eligible to receive additional funds. Each grantee may apply for a proportionate amount of the $1 billion based on their total funded enrollment. Funds will be made available through a supplemental application in the Head Start Enterprise System (HSES). The funds will be awarded as supplements to the HE, HA, and HN grants currently used for the $250 million in CRSSA funds. Additional instructions will be forthcoming. Note that grantees will also be asked to report on the ARP funds in HSES, similar to the fall prior data collection.

Waiver of Non-Federal Match

The COVID-19 pandemic is a national emergency seriously affecting economic conditions in communities throughout the U.S. The Head Start Act recognizes that lack of resources in a community adversely impacted by a major disaster may prevent Head Start grantees from providing all or a portion of their required non-federal contribution. OHS has determined that the widespread impact of the COVID-19 pandemic adversely impacts all Head Start grantees. Consequently, OHS will approve requests for waivers of non-federal match for the funds awarded from the ARP. To request a waiver of non-federal match, enter $0 in SF-424A Section C of your application. No additional justification of the waiver is required. The issuance of a notice of award constitutes approval of the requested waiver.

Additional Information

Additional information and materials related to the pandemic are available on the COVID-19 and the Head Start Community webpage on the Early Childhood Learning and Knowledge Center (ECLKC) website. This webpage continues to be updated on a regular basis.

Please direct any questions regarding this PI to your Regional Office.

Thank you for your work on behalf of children and families.

PROGRAM INSTRUCTION

TO: Head Start and Early Head Start Grantees and Delegate Agencies

SUBJECT: Office of Head Start (OHS) Expectations for Head Start Programs in Program Year (PY) 2021–2022

INSTRUCTION:

Since the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, Head Start programs — inclusive of Head Start, Early Head Start, Migrant and Seasonal Head Start, American Indian and Alaska Native Head Start, and Early Head Start-Child Care Partnership programs — have faced unprecedented challenges. Beginning in spring 2020 and throughout PY 2020–2021, all of our directors, staff, and families have demonstrated resiliency, innovation, and perseverance. To date, OHS has provided needed flexibilities and guidance that allowed programs to adapt services based on the changing health conditions in their communities. Now, as programs prepare for PY 2021–2022, OHS is providing updated guidance.

This Program Instruction (PI) outlines OHS’s expectations for Head Start programs to begin working toward full enrollment and providing in-person comprehensive services for all enrolled children, regardless of program option. The PI also addresses whether virtual or remote services are an allowable, long-term, locally designed option (LDO).

By virtual, OHS means services for children provided through technology. Remote refers to services provided via the delivery of supports and resources, such as educational materials or food boxes.

Operating Status and Enrollment

OHS expects Head Start programs to provide comprehensive services in their approved program options beginning in PY 2021–2022, to the extent possible, as local health conditions allow.

OHS acknowledges programs are in different stages of fully returning to in-person services. Many programs continued to provide in-person services for children and families throughout the COVID-19 pandemic. These programs are expected to continue serving children in person, as local health conditions allow.

Page 115: U.S.D. 305 BOARD AGENDA District Offices

Other Head Start programs have been alternating between in-person services, virtual or remote services, or some combination of the two, due to community health conditions. These programs are expected to move to in-person services, as local health conditions allow.

OHS expects programs to work toward full enrollment and full comprehensive services, contingent upon U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) guidelines and state and local health department guidance and in consideration of local school districts’ decisions.

In September 2021, OHS will begin reviewing monthly enrollment in the Head Start Enterprise System (HSES) and discuss program plans for moving to full enrollment. Programs should build toward full enrollment and provide comprehensive services for all enrolled children as soon as possible. Programs must communicate with their Regional Office and be able to demonstrate why they are unable to be fully enrolled or serve children in person in their approved programs options. All programs must have plans in place that allow for adaptation to changing guidance and to changes in community conditions, which may affect achieving full enrollment or cause programs to temporarily suspend in-person services.

Beginning January 2022, OHS will reinstate pre-pandemic practices for tracking and monitoring enrollment. OHS will also resume evaluating which programs enter into the Full Enrollment Initiative in January 2022. All programs will start fresh, including those participating in the Full Enrollment Initiative prior to the pandemic. Reported enrollment in January 2022 is the first month of enrollment that OHS will evaluate for the under-enrollment process.

Virtual and Remote Services

Virtual and remote services for children are considered an interim strategy in the presence of an emergency or disaster and will not be approved as an LDO.

OHS has supported the implementation of virtual and remote services over the past 13 months. However, they are not an acceptable replacement for in-person comprehensive services. For PY 2021–2022, it is unallowable to have a program option run entirely by technology or delivering educational material, for example. OHS may still support some portion of services to continue remotely, as necessary.

OHS also recognizes that programs have discovered new virtual strategies for engaging families and reinforcing early learning and development at home. Innovations in virtual practice should be used as enhancements rather than substitutes for previously approved program options and service delivery.

Given their increased capacity to conduct virtual and remote services, programs may establish policies and procedures for temporary, weather-related virtual and remote services.

Head Start grantees have significant one-time funds and layered mitigation strategies available to support a return to in-person services. This includes access to the COVID-19 vaccine for adults.

Recruitment and Selection

Page 116: U.S.D. 305 BOARD AGENDA District Offices

As grantees look to summer programming and PY 2021–2022, OHS expects programs to prioritize recruiting eligible children and families.

Almost one third of children served in Head Start programs before the pandemic — approximately 250,000 — have not received any services to date.

The pandemic has created and exacerbated long-standing disparities and inequities for families who have been marginalized for decades. The number of children and families in poverty has grown significantly. All grantees should update their community assessments to guide their intensive recruitment efforts and to ensure they are reaching families most in need of services. If a program determines that their pre-pandemic approved program option will not meet the needs of the community, they must submit an updated community assessment and request approval for a change in scope.

Programs should also revisit their established selection criteria based on findings from their updated community assessment. As always, programs must include specific efforts to actively locate and recruit all eligible children and, in particular, those whose families are English language learners, experiencing homelessness, or affected by substance misuse, as well as children with disabilities and children in foster care.

The funds grantees have received from the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) and Coronavirus Response and Relief Supplemental Appropriations (CRRSA) Acts, as well from the American Rescue Plan, can and should be used to support enhanced community partnerships and related recruitment efforts. Per OHS guidance in ACF-PI-HS-21-03 FY 2021 American Rescue Plan Funding Increase for Head Start Programs, grantees have flexibility to determine which one-time investments best support the needs of staff, children, and families, while adhering to federal, state, and local guidance. This includes using funds to purchase services, materials, and technology to ramp up recruitment efforts, as well as to provide vaccine outreach and support as one layer of mitigation and protection for staff, children, and families.

Program planning for a full return to in-person services should include new and returning families at every step. Clear communication with families and regular invitations for input ensure Head Start services are most responsive to families, children, and the community.

Additional Information

OHS will support grantees through webinars and guidance as programs continue and return fully to in-person services. Additional resources and information are available on the Early Childhood Learning and Knowledge Center (ECLKC) website.

Please direct any questions regarding this PI to your Regional Office.

Thank you for your work on behalf of children and families.

USD 305 Parents as Teachers Advisory Committee Quarterly Report May 2021

Enrollment Current – 59 children / 44 families Year to Date – 74 children / 54 families

Outcome Plans Objective 1: Parent educators will complete no more than 50 home visits each month. Current monthly home visit requirements based on family caseload Parent Educator A – 23 required home visits

Parent Educator B – 26 required home visits

Objective 2: Parent educators will use Foundational Curriculum along with interpersonal and communication skills to design and deliver personal visits to families.

Current percentage of families receiving at least 75% of the required number of home visits 71% of families with 0-1 stressors – 35 of 49 families 43% of families with 2 or more stressors – 3 of 7 families

Objective 3: Provide opportunities for enrolled families to participate in planning Group Connections.

Number of parent planning meeting opportunities Due to COVID-19, Group Connections are planned by Heartland staff to ensure the safety of all participants. However, PAT has been able to provide activities for parents despite the limitations of social distancing. Kirk Cusick offered “The Benefits of Nature” through a Virtual Connection. A Parent “drive-through” Connection in March provided families with all of the ingredients to make their own pizzas at home. Parents were encouraged to share pictures of the activity. PAT is hopeful to have their first in-person Group Connection soon with “Bubbles in the Park”.

Objective 4: Parent educators will help parents understand their child’s development, recognize strengths, and identify areas of concern.

Percentage of children who received developmental screens within 90 days of enrollment 66% - 4 of children

Collaborations Early Head Start: USD 305 PAT works very closely with Early Head Start to provide parent networking and parent / child

interaction opportunities twice each month

Regional PAT Programs: USD 305 PAT hosts a monthly meeting for other PAT programs in the region. These meetings are

an opportunity for programs to share ideas and work collectively on issues affecting multiple programs.

Infant Child Development (ICD): PAT home visitors provide developmental screenings during ICD Child Find events.

These screens are critical to detect and determine needed services as early as possible.

Policy Council Minutes 04.01.2021 via Zoom Voting Members Present: Brandi Galarneau, Misty Krouse, Cody Hoferer, Dana Webb-Lewis, Miranda Kay, Tami McGreevy, Sherri LaFollette, Sarah Crowley, Kim Dykes, Lindsey Sellers Non-Voting Present: Mandy Stephenson, Alaina Ryan, Linda Lorett, Scott Gardner, Sherrie Scott, Lesa Larson, Rhonda Smith, David Powell, Shanna Rector Call to Order – David Powell called the meeting to order at 5:00 p.m. Changes & Additions to the Agenda: Brandi Galarneau motioned to approve the agenda as presented. Lindsey Sellers seconded the motion and the motion carried. Approval of Consent Agenda Items: Brandi Galarneau motioned to approve the Consent Agenda Items as presented. Lindsey Sellers seconded the motion and the motion carried. Training: Kindergarten Transition Sherrie Scott (Salina FCS) Heartland is intentional about Kindergarten transitions and Heartland works to make the transition as smooth as possible for students, parents, and the elementary schools. We begin gathering student transition information in January. A spreadsheet is created to track where each child will be attending kindergarten. The Heartland teachers complete kindergarten transition forms with parents to provide to the kindergarten teacher which gives important information needed for each child. Cumulative files are organized and provided to the elementary school after the child is enrolled in kindergarten. Between January to the end of the school year, the Family Consultant Specialist updates information gathered for elementary schools. The information is provided to the elementary school so they know which Heartland children should be attending their school in the Fall. Many transition activities are different this year due to COVID-19. Typically, we hold kindergarten transition meetings for parents. Due to COVID-19, family consultants are providing information to parents about the virtual Kindergarten Round-Up and guides parents through the enrollment process. Family Consultants provide the USD #305 Parent’s Guide to Kindergarten Readiness pamphlet to each parent, as well as a book we purchased to help the parent have conversations with their child about kindergarten. Our classrooms begin instituting transition activities near the end of the school year for transitioning preschoolers. End-of-school social/emotional curriculum begins, children practice with lunch trays and are encouraged to work more independently. Mandy Stephenson (Outlying Sites FCS) Due to the smaller school sizes in outlying Sites, Heartland has the opportunity to meet with elementary school principals; teachers, FCs, and mental health staff visit and provide important information about families and children heading their way. Outlying sites do not complete formal cumulative files, but the same information is provided to kindergarten schools in outlying sites, including birth certificates, Kan-Be-Healthy forms, and immunization records. Classrooms participate in the same transition activities to help preschool children prepare for kindergarten.

Director’s Report: Lesa Larson submitted the last and final grant today. Old Business: None New Business: Coaching Update Heartland’s education coach Rhonda Smith started coaching eight teachers at the beginning of the year. Due to COVID-19, one of the teachers was not able to complete the coaching. Another teacher successfully completed her goals and exited the coaching program. A coaching evaluation was completed when the teacher exited and she had great things to say. It improved connections in her classroom. One things she’s doing differently after receiving coaching is connecting with children more intentionally and frequently. She said the coach was cheerful, helpful and had a knowledge of curriculum. Rhonda is currently coaching six teachers. As a result of coaching, we are seeing increased connections in the classroom. Rhonda has seen a lot of growth in teacher pride as they accomplish action steps and complete goals. They have collectively achieved 15 goals this year. We have been focusing on CLASS domains for coaching. Conscious Discipline and behavior management, practicing assertiveness, and making connections with students has been a large focus for teachers this year. When they are making those connections, teachers are growing in other ways as well. The program is benefiting the teachers, which in turn, benefits the children. Brandi asked if teachers are required to participate in coaching? Rhonda reported that the program has been voluntary this year. There has been discussion about required coaching if a teacher’s CLASS scores are low or if outcomes show an area of weakness in the classroom, but so far, teachers are coached voluntarily. OHS COLA of 1.22% Grant Approval Request Heartland Early Education is applying for COLA funding from the Federal Department of Health and Human Services Administration for Children and Families for the Head Start and Early Head Start grant that serves qualifying low-income families. Heartland Early Education provides services through center-based programming and home visitation for children ages 0-5 in Saline, Dickinson, and Ellsworth Counties. The funding increase was approved under the Consolidated Appropriations Act for Fiscal Year 21-22. COLA funds awarded are 1.22%. Approved funding amounts are: $ 41,767.00 – Cost of Living Adjustment Head Start $ 21,689.00 – Cost of Living Adjustment Early Head Start $ 63,456.00 – TOTAL The Federal Supplemental Grant for COLA does not require a 25% match. It was recommended the Policy Council approve the Federal Head Start and Early Head Start Grant Application as presented. Brandi Galarneau motioned to approve the OHS COLA of 1.22% Grant Request as presented. Dana Webb-Lewis seconded the motion. The OHS COLA of 1.22% grant was approved.

One-Time Activities in Response to COVID-19 – 04/01/21 – 03/31/23: Heartland Early Education is applying for supplemental funding from the Federal Department of Health and Human Services Administration for Children and Families authorized under the Consolidated Appropriations Act for additional one-time activities in response to COVID-19. Approved Funding amounts are: $ 143,562.00 One-Time Activities in Response to COVID-19 The Federal Supplemental Grant for COVID-19 response does not require a 25% match and does not require Policy Council approval due to the short turn-around time for submission. Potential Community Representatives Discussion: The Potential Additional Policy Council Community Representatives list for 2021-22 was shared. The list provides potential representatives to replace outgoing community members. Policy Council members are limited to five years of service according to Head Start regulations. Heartland would like to see community representatives who partner with Heartland or are in a service organization in the community. Lesa Larson asked members to submit recommendations for future community representatives during next month’s meeting. T/TA Plan: The 2021-2022 T/TA Plan was presented to the Policy Council. The plan describes ways Heartland will provide training to meet Five Year Goals, address OHS priorities and individualized training needs, and Head Start Mandatory Training for 2021-22. Past Parent Discussion: Each year, Heartland elects a past parent to serve on next year’s Policy Council. The past parent becomes a community representative and provides support and leadership for newly elected parents. Current past parent, Kim Dykes said, “being a past parent provides an opportunity to be involved in what’s happening with younger kids. As a grandparent, whose kids are in elementary school, it keeps you in touch with Head Start. Being a Past Parent gives you a chance to have a voice about what might be coming up for children. Also, if new Policy Council parents have doubts or questions, you may be able to speak to it because you have already been through it.” The Past Parent Election will take place during the May meeting and Lesa asked Policy Council parents to consider running for past parent if they would like to continue serving on the council, even if their child will no longer be in the program. Five Year Goals Update – Year One: Lesa Larson presented the Five Year Goals Update. The update describes ways Heartland has met goals and strategies to complete goals in process for Year-One of the Five-Year grant. Goals became very COVID central this year as a necessity to keep children and staff safe, so there were some things we needed to do differently. Head Start gave us flexibility this year because of the challenges. Many of our goals are carry over goals from the previous five-year grant, because we always want to continue improving and providing quality education in these areas. Goal 1: Heartland is committed to attracting and cultivating staff who inspire and empower children and families. Expected Outcome: Qualified and trained staff will be knowledgeable and effective in their specific roles. Goal 2: Heartland will intentionally integrate communication practices to strengthen relationships.

Expected Outcome: Communication will flow and staff will be more knowledgeable in all areas of the program. Goal 3: Heartland is responsive to the needs of children, families, staff and community. Expected Outcome: Heartland will provide quality services based on a strong understanding of the impact of trauma and align with the district in terms of early childhood needs and opportunities. ACF-PI-HS-21-02 Head Start Center-Based Service Duration Requirement for 45 Percent of Slots This Program Information instruction from the Office of Head Start states: “by August 1, 2021, each Head Start program must provide at least 1,020 annual hours of planned class operations over the course of at least 8 months per year for at least 45 percent of Head Start center-based funded enrollment or submit a request for a waiver of this requirement.” These requirements are outlined in the Head Start Program Performance Standards (HSPPS) at 45 CFR 1032.21(c). Grantees have the flexibility to design programs with varying hours per day and days per year, as long as at least 45 percent of children in center-based slots receive at least 1,020 annual hours of planned class operations over the course of at least 8 months or, where appropriate. These requirements were waived during the 2020-21 school year due to the COVID-19 pandemic, but are required for the 2021-22 school year. Linda reported, Salina will return to providing School Day School Year classrooms and Abilene Head Start will be increasing from a 4-day to a 5-day classroom in 2021-22, which will bring Heartland’s duration percentage to 51%, above the 45 percent requirement. Parent and Community Member Reports: Brandi Galarneau reported Jakoby has been having epileptic seizures. Next Friday, he is scheduled to go to Wichita to complete stress tests to figure out what is triggering the seizures. Casy Ziegler said she’s going to visit with Brandi’s Family Consultant to talk to our nurses about supporting the family. Brandi is currently using Door Dash to supplement income and can take Jakoby with her and keep an eye on him. Dana Webb-Lewis reported Carson is coming home from school with cool projects to complete at home. It’s been good to see all the things Cindy comes up with to help engage the kids. He likes to look at the activities even though he’s been in school all day. April is World Autism month. Her son has autism, and tomorrow is his 5th birthday and National Autism Day! This weekend they are going to the Rolling Hills Zoo. He is really interested in animals, both in school and at home. The Easter Bunny is coming on Sunday and are looking forward to holiday activities. Miranda Kay reported her family has a Zoo pass this year and it has been worth it. David Powell reported they went to the Zoo last weekend. Brandi Galarneau motioned to adjourn the meeting at 5:49 p.m. Miranda Kay seconded the motion. The meeting was adjourned. The next meeting is scheduled for May 6, 2021. Respectfully submitted by Alaina Ryan, Administrative Assistant and Sarah Crowley, Policy Council Secretary

Policy Council Minutes 05.06.2021 VOTING MEMBERS PRESENT: Natasha Busch, Sarah Crowley, Kim Dykes, Brandi Galarneau, Keri Kavouras, Miranda Kay, Sherri Lafollette, John Lobato, Lindsey Sellers, Dana Webb-Lewis NON-VOTING MEMBERS PRESENT: Alaina Ryan, Linda Lorett, Lesa Larson, David Powell, Shanna Rector, Scott Gardner CALL TO ORDER: David Powell called the meeting to order at 5:05 p.m. CHANGES AND ADDITIONS TO THE AGENDA: Kim Dykes motioned to approve the agenda as presented. John Lobato seconded the motion and the motion carried. APPROVAL OF CONSENT AGENDA ITEMS: Brandi Galarneau motioned to approve the Consent Agenda Items as presented. Keri Kavouras seconded the motion and the motion carried. TRAINING: COVID Spending Discussion Linda presented a handout containing Round 1 and Round 2 of COVID budget expenditures. Round 1 in the amount of $419, 191 was used for 2020 summer school and additional teacher assistants, mental health, maintenance, and transportation salaries. It also covered health insurance, FICA, unemployment and Work Comp salary expenses. COVID-19 supplies were purchased and funds also helped with technology support and building utilities. Round 2 funding in the amount of $143,562 will be used to provide 2021 and 2022 summer school for preschool students. Heartland received notification of a 3rd round of funding in the amount of $570,731. This funding is for the next two years. We also received a program instruction (ACF-PI-HS-21-03: FY 2021 American Rescue Plan Funding Increase for Head Start Programs) that was emailed to give members a chance to review it prior to the meeting. The document provides Office of Head Start recommendations for spending COVID funds. The Office of Head Start strongly encourages programs to use funds to provide additional weeks of learning for children, whether providing summer school or extending the school year. Three different categories of how to use the funds were outlined:

1. How to reach more families 2. How to get facilities ready for in-person services 3. How to support Head Start employees

Since this is one-time funding, we must ensure spending will not require future costs once the COVID funding expires. Examples are hiring additional staff, etc. The non-federal match was waived. We will not need to document in-kind for these funds. Improvements are being planned for playgrounds to encourage children to spread out as they play and provides for less sharing of items. Kim Dykes asked if we were able to hire additional staff to help with absences due to illness during COVID-19? Linda said, Heartland hired four new Teacher Assistants to fill in during teacher and TA illnesses this school year.

Kim Dykes asked if we are able to use the funds to help staff with professional development expenses? Linda explained that Heartland already pays for schooling for staff, including CDA expenses and college expenses with training dollars, but we could use these funds to provide additional schooling if needed. Heartland is required to decide how the money will be spent by May 18th. Lesa said we are considering expanding the kitchen area because it is very close quarters for the kitchen staff. We have also considered providing a sick room for children. We created a temporary sick room this school year. Lesa asked outlying sites parents to talk to their teachers and think about how we can use funds in our outlying sites to be more effective during the COVID-19 pandemic. Kim Dykes asked if it is possible to provide parents with home-based learning supplies (such as crayons, markers, etc.) for parents to use during home visits? Linda said we are able to provide those supplies. We currently have four hot-spots that are being used by staff for home visits. We will be adding more for home-visit use when our cell phone contract expires in July. Keri Kavouras asked if Heartland can use COVID funding to provide team building opportunities for staff? She believes it is good for staff to get away from the building and have opportunities to connect with each other. She also suggested bringing in guest speakers or going off-site to team-build. Lesa said we are able to use funds for staff wellness and development. DIRECTOR’S REPORT: Lesa Larson reported Nicole Weigel received the KHSA Head Start Teacher of the Year award. She has also received the Region VII Teacher of the Year award. In place of our Art Show, we had an Art Walk. It’s been fun to see all of the colorful art in the hallways. Outlying sites did some special things. Enterprise shared a video of all of the children outside with their art projects. Heartland will be receiving 17 additional surveillance cameras. We have had some vandalism on our playgrounds. OLD BUSINESS: None NEW BUSINESS: Past Parent Election David Powell and Sarah Crowley nominated themselves to serve as Past Parents for the 2021-2022 school year. Brandi Galarneau motioned to accept their nomination. Lindsey Sellers seconded the motion. The motion passed. Virtual Meeting Reflection & Discussion Fourteen Policy Council members responded to the Policy Council virtual meeting survey sent out in April. The responses to the virtual meetings were positive. Some people miss the opportunity to interact and sometimes technology made Zoom meetings more challenging, but overall, it was a success. Outlying sites members found it especially helpful. They appreciated not having to travel out of town to attend meetings.

The May 6th meeting was the first hybrid meeting held at Heartland this year. Some members attended in person, while others preferred to attend virtually. This was a successful test to see how well this option will work next year. There was discussion about using COVID funding to purchase updated equipment to improve virtual meetings in the future. It was recommended we keep a hybrid option available for in-person and virtual meeting attendance during the 2021-2022 school year. Potential Community Representatives Lindsey Sellers suggested adding someone from Salina Area Tech. They are working on providing an early childhood education degree program. Shana suggested we contact Greg Nichols, who might be interested or would be able to suggest someone. Brandi Galarneau suggested Dr. Natalie Davis with the Women’s Clinic on Santa Fe be added to the list. Lindsey Sellers motioned to approve the Potential Additional Community Policy Council Community Representatives with the addition of the suggested names. John Lobato seconded the motion. The motion carried. USD 305 Preschool Report The USD 305 Preschool report was presented to the Policy Council in the May PC packet. The report included funding information, as well as current enrollment information. Lesa announced, beginning 2021-22, all USD 305 elementary schools will house a USD 305 preschool classroom. Preschool children with an IEP or 4-year olds who meet At-Risk qualifications will qualify for half-day preschool in their home elementary school. The USD 305 Preschool classroom currently housed at Heartland will move to Heusner and the USD 305 Preschool classroom housed at Hageman will move to Meadowlark. Miranda Kay asked about transportation services for the USD 305 Preschool classrooms. Shanna Rector said transportation is available to special education children if it is determined necessary as a part of their IEP. General education students must live at least 2.5 miles from the school and can only be transported to and from their home. Parents as Teachers Report The Parents as Teachers (PAT) report was presented to the Policy Council in the May PC packet. The report provided enrollment information, as well as outcomes for each objective. Lindsey Sellers said, “If anyone wants to receive services for their child, PAT does a good job serving all levels of students. I appreciated having a supportive person I could run things past. It was nice to have a person I could throw ideas at who would offer support.” PAT collaborates with Early Head Start, Regional PAT programs and Infant Child Development. APM Report Lesa reported last month’s APM meeting was held virtually and face-to-face. R7HSA director, Clarence Small, discussed the importance of involving Policy Council members in making decisions about COVID-19 spending. Tonight’s COVID-19 spending discussion led by Linda Lorett was important to ensure Policy Council received information and had an opportunity to give feedback and ideas. COVID spending will continue to be a standing item of discussion during future Policy Council meetings to keep parents informed and give them an opportunity to provide as much input as possible. Tooth brushing in the classrooms was a major topic. Heartland classrooms have not allowed tooth brushing this year due to COVID-19. Starting July 1, 2021, Heartland will begin a dental health campaign for families. Family Consultant Specialist, Sherrie Scott has applied for a Delta Dental grant. We will

Page 130: U.S.D. 305 BOARD AGENDA District Offices

begin providing toothbrushes, tooth brushing timers, and other resources to promote dental health. We do not know if students will be able to brush teeth in classrooms next year. We are still waiting for more guidance as it comes available. Tommy Sheridan with NHSA talked about specific priorities, including promoting COVID-19 vaccinations and an upcoming update to the Head Start Reauthorization. In 2007, Head Start released a new Reauthorization. The Office of Head Start is beginning the process again, and Eligibility Criteria will be a focus area. Heartland Program Coordinator, Casy Ziegler is currently on the national committee looking at the eligibility portion of the new Head Start reauthorization. Next year we should have more information about the direction they are heading. Peggy Kelly served as the Executive Director of the Kansas Head Start Association for many years. She will be leaving KHSA to care for her aging parents and is currently serving virtually from Minnesota. KHSA is actively seeking a new director to take her place. Self-Assessment Plan Update The Self-Assessment Plan update was presented. The report listed four areas to strengthen, the plans of action for each area, and the actions taken to strengthen each area. In light of COVID-19, Heartland came up with creative solutions for recruitment. We revised our recruitment committee and have created recruitment videos for all program options that have been effective for use on social media, etc. To increase community connections, we have a staff member who is out in the community looking for opportunities to partner and exchange referrals. The group delivered baskets to the medical community to thank them for their support of our program. Each basket contained brochures, applications, etc. to hand out as needed. In December, Heartland began a quarantine support project for families and staff providing assistance with non-perishable food and household items (laundry detergent, etc.) during quarantine. Heartland staff demonstrated overwhelming support for the project and provided enough items and funding to last through April. ACF-IM-HS-21-01 Updated COVID-19 Fiscal and Administrative Flexibilities This information memorandum, released on April 14, 2021, outlines fiscal and administrative flexibilities and waivers due to COVID-19, allowing Head Start Programs to do their jobs more efficiently. It provides flexibility for the SAM registration, no-cost extensions on expiring awards, the allowability of costs not normally charged to awards, extension of single audit submission, flexibility related to physical inventories, and waivers and other flexibilities. The waivers allowed Heartland to purchase supplies for home visits and work bags and send them home to families. Prior to COVID-19, this was not an allowable expense. Head Start programs were required to keep these items in the building for use in the classrooms. Prior approval waiver requirements have been increased from $5,000 to $25,000 so programs are not required to complete the waiver as often. Heartland used this flexibility to purchase equipment we needed for the Abilene Head Start playground without a waiver. These flexibilities allow for the waiver of non-federal share requirements. Thank Outgoing Policy Council Members

Heartland presented outgoing Policy Council Community Representative, John Lobato with a framed art piece from a Heartland preschool student for his five years of service to the Heartland Policy Council. Lesa thanked all Policy Council members for serving during this difficult year and for their flexibility as we navigated COVID-19. Heartland has actually seen better meeting attendance through virtual meetings, so that was an unexpected bonus this year. We appreciate the time and dedication shown by each Policy Council member. PARENT AND COMMUNITY REPORTS: Brandi Galarneau reported her son was diagnosed with epilepsy. They are working with doctors to find a medication that will work for him. He is walking and climbing on things. She attended the Mom’s Group meeting last month. During the meeting, moms discussed their desire to get the Dad’s Group started again. David Powell reported Logan is doing well in Head Start. Behaviors stemming from sensory issues due to autism have improved this year. Potty training is still a work in progress. John Lobato (CKMHC Director of Children Services) reported a dramatic increase in the number of families and children coming in for services the past few months. There are a lot more people reaching out for help as COVID is tapering off. They have received a lot of referrals through the school partnership program. As we see COVID wind down, they are beginning to see the impact the pandemic has had on children and families in terms of mental health issues such as anxiety and mood disorders. Dana Webb Lewis reported Carson tumbled off his bed last month and broke his elbow. He had surgery, which included an overnight stay in the hospital. Dana said the doctors and nurses were wonderful with both Carson and herself, as this was a major event for all of them. His Head Start teacher, Ms. Cyndi stayed up-to-date with Carson’s recovery and sent get well pictures from all of the Head Start students. She was very appreciative of the encouragement. They are looking forward to next week’s end-of-year event. It’s being held outside and there are many activities planned for students and parents. Natasha reported her twins attended their Kindergarten Round-up meeting. They will be attending Oakdale in the fall and will be in separate classrooms. They both had their first dance recital and she just received notice her children will be able to attend her graduation from KU Medical. She will take her state test and begin her new job after taking a few weeks off. This is the final meeting of the 2020-2021 school year. Meetings will resume for the 2021-2022 school year in September. Brandi Galarneau motioned to adjourn the meeting at 6:13 p.m. Keri Kavouras seconded the motion. The motion carried. Respectfully submitted by Alaina Ryan, Administrative Assistant and Sarah Crowley, Policy Council Secretary
