Mrs. Burgess asked that Mr. Stein’s title be corrected to read secretary rather than member in the March minutes on page two in the packet. Mrs. Burgess moved to approve the consent agenda as presented with the addition of the title change for Mr. Stein in the previous minutes, claims of $3,757,083.67 and payroll of $3,243,281.32 Mr. Stein seconded. Passed 5 - 0. Superintendent’s Reports Dr. Robison publicly thanked the town of Whitestown and Town Manager Dax Norton for being available and ready to accommodate staff and students at their Town Hall on April 8 in the case of an emergency evacuation of ZWMS students and staff due to a faulty fire alarm sensor and inclement weather. In the end, faculty and students were not evacuated but the Town’s response was affirming of the level of support and collaboration the school corporation shares with local entities. Dr. Robison introduced Director of Special Education Cathy Fuelling and announced that Mrs. Fuelling would be retiring at the end of the school year. Mrs. Fuelling has worked for Zionsville Community Schools since 1979 and became the Director of Unified Students Services in 1999. Through a detailed PowerPoint presentation, Mrs. Fuelling and Assistant Director, Donna Hudson, provided the annual special education report. Over the past five years, the percentage of students served in special education has stayed relatively steady moving from 11.75% to 12.41%, which is a decrease from years prior. Mrs. Fuelling reviewed the history and importance of NCLB (No Child Left Behind), IDEA (Individuals with Disabilities Education Act) and how these programs improved the practice of early identification and interventions, reiterating the importance of early interventions in reading. She outlined enrollments by exceptionality pointing out that two areas of increase are students with autism and students with multiple handicaps. Mrs. Fuelling explained for the board what the category Other Health Impairment (OHI) defines and what it means to our services for students. There was discussion about the increased incidence of autism. Dr. Hudson talked about the developmental preschool program. There are 89 students in the program this year and 102 students were evaluated for the program. Developmental preschool

students interact with students in the Universal Preschool program which is an important educational standard for developmental preschool students. Mrs. Fuelling went on to review the revised state required assessments for special needs students in the upcoming year. She shared the number of staff who work in special education and that the district is no longer part of a special education cooperative. Total funds expended for special education programming during 2014 was $5,059,788.62 with $1,075,890.03 coming from the General Fund because federal and state special education allocations are insufficient to fund the services we must provide. Mrs. Kissel, Community Relations Coordinator, provided the “Spanning the District” Report. She congratulated Senior Bryan Wilson for winning a Nation Achievement Scholarship. The Eagle Recreation and Enrichment Summer Camp magazine is published and families can register for summer experiences online. Pleasant View Elementary raised $500.00 through Jump Rope for Heart to purchase PE equipment. Ms. Kelly Masters, UE teacher, and several of her second grade students reported on a bat project they recently conducted in their classroom. The class studied bats by reading books, then incorporated math into their learning by measuring wing spans with standard and not standard units of measurements. The students spoke about the classroom experiences which included presentations by experts in the study of bat physiology and habitats. The project culminated in building and selling bat houses with earnings going to the bat conservation organization. Dr. Robison concluded his report by summarizing the current events of the Fix-it Coalition. There are just a few weeks left in the legislative session. The district is anticipating some funding gains but not enough to maintain current programming once the Referendum expires at the end of calendar year 2015. Mrs. Ungar thanked the Superintendent, the community and everyone involved in the coalition for working so diligently on school funding during this legislative session. Mrs. Burgess publicly thanked this month’s donors and read the list of donations aloud. Audience Comments There were no audience comments. Old Business 5a Student Handbooks – Second Reading The board reviewed the handbooks for second reading and consideration of adoption. There was one minor change to page 16; Immunizations. The board received a copy with the changed wording about Hepatitis A. There was no discussion about this change. Mrs. Ungar asked Principal East to address some concerns she had about the proposed senior privilege which allows seniors to leave campus for lunch. Mr. East explained that only qualifying

seniors as described in the handbook and permitted by parents would be entitled to leave for the lunch period. Mr. East estimates that 30 – 40 students would be leaving over any given lunch period and the privilege will not be available every school day. Systems will be in place so seniors are less likely to take advantage of the privilege and these protocols will be adhered to strictly. Mr. East will also talk with local merchants so they are aware that they may have an influx of ZCS seniors on certain days and the ZCS Food Services Department will be made aware of dates and the number of students who may take advantage of the open lunch option. The senior privilege will be rolled out to seniors during the back to school days. Parents and senior students will receive pertinent information and permission slips at that time. Seniors will meet with lead staff on the first day of school to review guidelines and expectations. Mrs. Burgess moved that the Board of Trustees accept the recommended revisions as presented for the 2015-2016 student handbooks. Mrs. Ungar seconded. Passed 5 – 0 5b – Board Discussion on Random Drug Testing – No Action – Discussion Only Mrs. Richey introduced the topic for discussion and briefly reviewed the timeline for when the Board began considering a random drug testing policy for the high school. She stated that the Board was first asked to consider such a policy in May of 2014. The Board researched the topic, discussed the topic in public meetings, listened to public sentiment, and came to no consensus and asked for more information about the topic. President Longest tabled the item allowing the Leadership Team time to gather data on current costs and practices across the district. Those findings were presented to the board in November of 2014. This was a five-year compilation of programs, speakers and costs associated with the programming. Mrs. Richey stated that the board, upon review of the findings concluded that, currently, there is not a well-articulated, systematic plan in place across all grade levels to teach resiliency, grit, and other specific skills with the power to help deter risky behaviors in adolescence and young adulthood. She indicated that the discussion will resume to establish a program that best serves all students in a coordinated approach. She shared that she and Dr. Robison met with several experts in the area of risky adolescent and young adult behaviors and how best to keep children from using drugs and alcohol. Mrs. Richey presented board members with a white paper several weeks prior to the meeting which laid out a plan for an approach that extends beyond drug and alcohol prevention. Mrs. Richey asked that the board consider a more holistic approach to the problem and institute a broad range of programs to help students focused on prevention and would involve a wide range of services beyond school staff. She also asked that the board consider delaying the vote on random drug testing until more research could be gathered to support a holistic approach. She invited each board member to share his/her opinion about next steps in this regard. Mrs. Burgess asked Principal East to review the reasons for recommending RDT. Principal East stated that the impetus for the request a year ago, centered on student athletes and the goal to keep athletes from using drugs while playing high school sports. He added that it is his belief that RDT would deter students from using drugs and he has yet to hear any concern that leads him to believe differently. He concluded that he remains confident in his recommendation. Mrs. Burgess thanked the Leadership Team for their report on current practices and added that she agrees with Mrs. Richey’s recommendation for a more systematic, holistic approach but she would like to also pass RDT as presented last year. She read a list of personal experiences to support her position.

Mr. Longest added that he would like to see the corporation help students learn how to make better decisions in every aspect of their lives and that efforts should be coordinated with churches and youth organizations to promote good choices. He has some concerns about the effectiveness of drug testing and how long a substance stays in the body. He would like to see a public workshop that gives the board the opportunity to learn more. Mrs. Ungar added that she believes details are important to her ability to make an informed decision and would find a workshop beneficial. Mr. Stein stated that while he is in favor of a holistic approach, he believes the district already does a lot in this regard. He would like to adopt an RDT policy and then work on the holistic program. He also expressed that while he has some concerns about the research that suggests students may use more potent, non-detectable drugs if an RDT program is in place, his current view is that the deterrent is effective in stopping students from considering drug use. Mrs. Richey thanked the board members for sharing their opinions and emphasized that each board member wants to do what is in the best interest of children. She shared some research findings about RDT that were shared with her by a Purdue University professor. The research focused on how students may go on to use more harmful drugs when an RDT policy is implemented. She asked the board to come to a consensus about next steps. Principal East stated that the high school could not implement an RDT policy in the fall if it was approved later than May. The board decided that a public work session with an expert panel would be be attempted for a to be determined date, preferably in June and a vote on the RDT policy as presented in May 2014 will be postponed until a later date. Mrs. Ungar invited community members to contact the board with their concerns and opinions. Mrs. Richey called for a break at 7:49 pm. She reconvened the meeting at 7:59 pm. New Business Items 6a Construction Change Orders and Remaining Projects Mr. Landfair, Skillman Corporation, briefly updated the board on the status of the current construction projects. He provided the board with a change order report. Overall, projects have gone according to the financial plan and less has been spent than expected on change orders. Mr. Landfair described for the board what change orders are and why it is important to approve them. Currently there is $662,260.00 in contingency money and $226,333.00 is needed for change orders. He asked that the board approved these change orders so projects can move forward and be completed. At the request of a board member, Mr. Landfair explained why the contingency fund for BMS software was set to accommodate hardware replacements that may be required as the system is replaced. Mr. Stein moved that the Board of Trustees authorize the change orders, expenditures, and purchases as presented by Skillman Corporation. Mr. Longest seconded. Passed 5 – 0.

6b Certified Staffing Recommendations Mr. Bostwick and Mrs. Hoover presented on the current certified staffing recommendations for the upcoming 2015-2016 school year. In a PowerPoint Presentation they reviewed the process for making a determination for what is needed in the coming year. The projections are very conservative and the goal is to only hire the number of staff necessary in order to live within our lowest funded school district means—even while accommodating new enrollment growth. In July 2013, the IBRC (Indiana Business Research Center) projected that the district would grow by 144 students in the coming year. Based on that number and current new student enrollment trends, ZCS projects that hiring certified staff in the range of 7.23 FTE to 10.23 FTE will provide the necessary staffing.. Certified staffing is projected as follows: Secondary level, 4.76 FTE; Special Education, 2.47 FTE and Elementary, 3 FTE. The estimated annual costs, which include benefits, for these new staff will be between $432,218.00 and $607,442.00 depending on the final number of new hires. Mrs. Ungar thanked Mr. Shafer and Dr. Robison for extending the referendum reach to conclude at the end of the 2015-2016 school year so as to avoid layoffs this spring (mid-year layoffs of teachers are not legal). Mr. Longest moved that the Board of Trustees authorize an increase in certified staff up to 10.23 FTE (full-time Equivalent) as presented. Mrs. Burgess seconded. Passed 5-0. 6c Materials Adoption Recommendations Director of Academic Services Mrs. Devereaux explained that Public Law 73-2011 altered state and local textbook adoption procedures. Under the new law, Indiana no longer follows a strict six-year cycle for materials adoption. The board received a complete explanation of the significance of this change and the process ZCS has chosen to use going forward. In summary, although there may be some exception, the district will stay with a six-year adoption cycle. The following items are being recommended for adoption at this time. �Social Studies/Humanities: 3rd grade: The US Communities and Neighbors (approximate cost is $59.64 + shipping) 4th grade: 4th Grade Social Studies (approximate cost is $69.60 + shipping) 5th grade Humanities: US History (approximate cost is $68.72 + shipping) and NEWSELA (approximate cost is $5.50/student) 6th grade Humanities: Discovery Education (approximate cost is $7.50/student) and NEWSELA (approximate cost is $5.50/student) 7th and 8th grade: Discovery Education (approximate cost is $7.50/student) AP Human Geography: Cultural Landscape: An Introduction to Human Geography (approximate cost is $180.00 + shipping) AP Micro and Macro Economics: Krugman's Economics for AP 2nd Ed (2015) (approximate cost is $182.00 + shipping) AP Psychology: Myers' Psychology for AP 2nd Edition (approximate cost is $155.00 + shipping) AP US History: Norton's Give Me Liberty! An American History, 4th edition brief (approximate cost is $80.00 + shipping) AP World History: Traditions and Encounters (Bentley-Ziegler), AP Edition 6E (not coming out until this summer) Economics: Economics (approximate cost is $74.97 + shipping) and GALE (approximate cost is $2.50/student) Geography and History of the World: Geography and the Humans and Physical World (approximate cost is $73.62 + shipping)

Mrs. Burgess seconded. Passed 5 – 0. 6d Review and Recommendation of Pending Operations Agreement Mr. Bostwick explained that the contract with our current custodial provider, Sodexo, will expire in July 2015. In an effort to hire the best custodial services firm, six companies were invited to provide an estimate and present to a team of ZCS administrators. The presentations included site visits. After much deliberation, the team chose ABM for the district’s custodial contract. . ABM was the low quote at $1,387,116.00 annually. ABM currently serves Center Grove, a similar district in scope. The Board’s counsel is reviewing the three year contract. The administration would also like to institute a sixty-day determination notice to Sodexo so ABM can come in and complete a thorough summer cleaning. Mr. Stein moved that the Board of Trustees grant the school corporation the authority to provide a 60-day written notice of cancellation to the current custodial provider. Mrs. Ungar seconded. Passed 5 – 0. Mr. Stein moved that the Board of Trustees authorize the superintendent or his designee to execute, on the board’s behalf and once fully vetted by the Board’s counsel, a contractual partnership with ABM for custodial services. Mrs. Ungar seconded. Passed 5 – 0. Mr. Bostwick thanked Sodexo and commended Wilburt King, Sodexo’s ZCS Director of Operations, for his hard work during this difficult change. 6e 2015 Early Retirement Incentive Mr. Shafer explained that the district would like to offer an early retirement incentive as it has done in years past. He provided the board with a draft letter of the incentive. He explained that this is a cost savings initiative and has the potential to save a significant amount of money if many qualifying teachers choose to take the buy-out. There are four tiers to the offer. Mrs. Burgess moved that the Board of Trustees authorize the offer of an early retirement incentive for certified employees as described and outlined in the sample letter provided. Mrs. Ungar seconded. Passed 5-0. 6f Resolution for Procurement Card Program

Mr. Shafer explained that it has been determined that it would be advantageous to shift the corporation-issued credit card accounts to a different bank. BMO Harris is a strategic partner with the Indiana Association of School Business Officials and now has a statewide procurement card (credit card) program which would be advantageous for ZCS. By making this change, the corporation expects to increase rebate earnings of $30,000.00 or more and will also gain enhanced customer service. Mr. Longest moved to accept the resolution as presented. Mrs. Burgess seconded. Passed 5- 0 Hearing no further discussion, Mrs. Richey adjourned the meeting at 8:51 pm.

Zionsville Community Schools Board of School Trustees Meeting “Item for Consideration”

Consent Agenda Item ● Date: May 11, 2015

Annual Review of Contracted Services – St. Vincent

Category: X Human Resources, Personnel/Staffing ____ Curriculum, Instruction, Assessment X Finance, Budgeting, Accounting Student Services _____ Board Policy Facilities, Transportation, Nutrition Community Relations _____ Other

Type of Board of Trustees Consideration Sought: Action X Discussion Report

Facts of this Matter: In July 2009 an agreement was adopted between the Board of School Trustees and St. Vincent Health for services promoting school-based health and wellness initiatives. This agreement encompasses, but is not limited to, athletic training/sports performance and school nursing services. A review occurs annually to identify any needs of the partnership that may maximize the value of student services. The following areas have been identified for expansion:

1. Athletic Training/Sports Performance – With the opening of the new facility at ZCHS quickly approaching, there is a need to address the strategy of monitoring usage for this new multi-purpose space. St. Vincent has submitted a proposal to amend the present agreement to include a Fitness Center Coordinator who would be an employee of St. Vincent Health who would primarily be responsible for the daily operations of the strength and conditioning facilities at Zionsville High School in addition to delivering content and support to the academic instructors of physical education offerings as it relates to strength, conditioning and student development.

2. School Nursing – District wide, it is projected that student enrollment will increase by 150 students for

the 2015-2016 school year. This is on trend with the growth seen in previous years. With the transition of Developmental Preschool from Boone Meadow to Zionsville West Middle School, Zionsville West will need additional nursing support. Transitioning partial FTE from the current space (Boone Meadow) is not a viable option due to student growth in K-4 within that area. St. Vincent Health in conjunction with Unified Student Services has conducted a review and projects that an increase of .5 FTE will be needed in nursing support for the 2015-2016 school year to accommodate for growth and an increase in complex student needs.

Objective POSITIVES related to this item or approach:

Athletic Training/Sports Performance o Allow multiple classes to use the space at one time o Maximize student services without additional certified FTE o Specialized support responsible for maintaining equipment promoting safety thus mitigating

liability

School Nursing o Allows for appropriate coverage of school nursing centers o Accommodates additional needs that ZCS faces due to movement and growth

Financial Implications related to this item or approach:

$32,000 -- Cost sharing arrangement for Fitness Center Coordinator and specific details regarding the proposal are attached.

$15,000 (Approximate) -- If possible, this additional increase in FTE will be staffed by a Health Care Professional in lieu of a Registered Nurse thus reducing the salary costs.

Objective NEGATIVES related to this item or approach: None known at this time.

Opinion/Recommendation: It is recommended that the Board approve this request to expand our present contractual agreements with St. Vincent Health to include a Fitness Center Coordinator and an increase in school nursing FTE by .5. Suggested Wording for a Motion, if any: N/A—Consent Agenda Item

Zionsville Community Schools Board of School Trustees Meeting “Item for Consideration”

Consent Agenda ● Date: May 11, 2015

Overnight/Out of State Field Trip

Category: Human Resources, Personnel/Staffing Curriculum, Instruction, Assessment Finance, Budgeting, Accounting X Student Services Board Policy Facilities, Transportation, Nutrition Community Relations Other

Type of Board of Trustees Consideration Sought: Action X Discussion Report

Facts of this Matter: Amy Conrad (ZCHS French Teacher), Jill Trent (ZCHS AP Environmental Science Teacher), and Tim

East (Principal) are requesting to take a maximum of 32 students to Altkirch, in the Alsace region of

France from approximately March 22, 2016 to April 2, 2016 as part of a partner school exchange.

Travelling students will have met their future host siblings when those students are present at ZCHS

from approximately October 28, 2015 to November 7, 2015. Students will be exploring French culture

and language in conjunction with their French counterparts.

Objective POSITIVES related to this item or approach: Students will see beyond the tourist component of culture while staying with a host family in France.

Strong relationships will be fostered through a two-part exchange program. This is projected to be a

repetitive experience for students interested in participating.

Objective NEGATIVES related to this item or approach: None known Opinion/Recommendation: This trip is recommended for approval.

Financial Implications, if any: Travelling students and their families would incur all of the costs associated with travel and personal

spending money. Meals will be provided by their host school and host families upon arrival to the host

city in France, but some meals will be covered by participants. Students will be staying with the

families of their French counterparts during their stay in France.

ZIONSVILLE COMMUNITY SCHOOLS

MEMORANDUM To: All Members, Board of School Trustees; Dr. Scott Robison, Superintendent From: Michael A. Shafer, C.P.A., Chief Financial Officer RE: Financial Update for the Board of School Trustees Date: April 30, 2015 MESSAGE: Attached please find the monthly financial reports for March 2015. The financial results are materially within the normal ranges of fluctuations we consistently experience. Those variances that warranted comment are as shown in the notes which accompany the reports. As you have heard by now, the legislature has finished its long session and adjourned. The new budget bill passed a few minutes before midnight on the final day of the session. While many interested parties are still combing through this massive bill and analyzing the new school funding formula, we now know some basic things about our funding over the next biennium. We did achieve an increase in per pupil funding. The good news is that this is the first time since 2008 that we did not see continuing declines. However, the increase of $193 per pupil over the 2016 and 2017 fiscal years was significantly less than we had hoped. Our current $4,960 per pupil will go to $5,046 in 2016 and $5,153 in 2017. As depicted on the updated “X” chart below, these increases will only be sufficient by 2017 to return us to the per pupil funding level we had in 2012.

As you may recall, it was in the 2011-2012 school year that we found the state funding level was insufficient and we were forced to lay off a significant number of teachers and other staff members, eliminate a number of important programs, and so on. A return to the funding levels we had without Referendum support, when freshman English had class sizes of over 40 students and high school science labs could not be used safely due to overcrowding, was not our goal for this legislative session. With our current Referendum expiring at the end of this year, we are faced as a community and as a school district with making the difficult choice between asking for voter approval of a new Referendum or attempting once more to make tremendous cuts in our programs and personnel to be able to balance our budget at a much reduced level. The following chart illustrates our current situation in a “constant dollars” method adjusting our per pupil funding for inflation back to 2003 levels. As shown, with the current Referendum ended, 2016 would see us attempting to cope with the lowest real dollars per student since sometime in the 1990’s.

Over the next several days we will continue to perform our own analyses of the new funding formula. These will be shared as soon as possible. The obvious policy implications of the state school funding formula and its ramifications will be the subjects of one or more reports at upcoming meetings of the Board of School Trustees.

Notes:1. Income from Student Participation Fees and Rental Income were both higher than

projected on an annualized basis.

2. Contracted Services for the General Fund were more than projected on an annualizedbasis. This appears to be a normal fluctuation and is not expected to be significant forthe entire year taken as a whole.

3. Utilities and Supplies and Materials for the month for the General Fund were both lessthan projected on an annualized basis. This appears to be a normal fluctuation and isnot expected to be significant for the entire year taken as a whole.

4. Building and Equipment Maintenance for CPF were less than projected. This appears tobe a cyclical variation which is seasonal but that will reverse later in the year.

Zionsville Community Schools Board of School Trustees Meeting “Item for Consideration”

New Business Item 6a ● Date: May 11, 2015

Textbook Rental and Other Fees and Charges

Category: Human Resources, Personnel/Staffing __X__ Curriculum, Instruction, Assessment X Finance, Budgeting, Accounting Student Services _____ Board Policy Facilities, Transportation, Nutrition Community Relations ___ __ Other

Type of Board of Trustees Consideration Sought: Action X Discussion Report

Facts of this Matter: The Board of School Trustees is hereby asked to approve the attached schedules of charges for textbook rental fees and other fees and charges. Overall, for grades K through 4, the total of fees and charges for 2015-2016 increased from 2014-2015 by a weighted average of 3.0%. The increase is primarily due to overall cost increases in the subject areas for which new curriculum items were adopted this year, along with some increases in consumable materials and testing.

In lieu of those charges shown on the attached schedule for elementary students, the following fees for elementary special education students to whom these are applicable are recommended:

Developmental Preschool - $83.50

Elementary Lifeskills - $178.75

The total charges for Grades 5 through 8 at the Middle School and Grades 9 through 12 at the High School will be determined according to each student’s course of study as shown on the attached schedules from those schools. High School students attending vocational classes at the J. Everett Light Career Center will also be required to pay such fees and charges as are determined there.

Objective POSITIVES related to this item or approach: The consumable fees shown are calculated to equal our costs for these items. The textbook rental charges are designed to recoup textbook purchase costs over a multi-year period as required by state statute under IC 20-26-12-2. This plan also conforms to IC 20-26-12-1 which requires school corporations to purchase textbooks and rent them to students.

Objective NEGATIVES related to this item or approach: The costs to the parents of students, particularly in households with multiple school children, are significant. Opinion/Recommendation: It is recommended that the Board of School Trustees approve the attached schedules of charges for textbook rental fees and fees and other charges for the 2015-2016 school year as shown, with the inclusion of the alternate charges for elementary and preschool special education students as noted above. Financial Implications, if any: As noted above, the recommended fees and textbook rental charges are designed to recoup costs for those items over a multi-year period as required by state statute that are used in more than one school year. The costs of consumable items are passed through directly to parents for items used up or consumed in a single school year by an individual student. The charges shown on the attached schedule for laptop computer repair apply to any damages from negligence or misuse of school-owned computers from our 1:1 computing program, and are designed to cover the time and materials required for any required repairs of damages which are beyond normal wear and tear. Suggested Wording for a Motion, if any: “I move that the Board of School Trustees approve the schedules of charges for textbook rental fees and other fees and charges for the 2015-2016 school year as presented.”

For the 2011-2012 school year, the United State Department of Agriculture (USDA) mandated public school corporations nationwide to increase prices charged to students under the “Equity in School Lunch Pricing Provision” - Section 205 of the Healthy, Hunger-Free Kids Act of 2010, This resulted in a price increase of 15 cents for all ZCS lunches for that school year. The 2012-2013 school resulted in no price increases per direction from the Indiana Department of Education. In the 2013-2014 school year, an increase of 10 cents at both the elementary and secondary levels was again necessary due to the USDA regulations. For the 2014-2015 school year, the applicable federal regulations mandated a five (5) cent increase in all student lunches. For 2015-2016, the “Paid Lunch Equity Requirements” (PLE) as used by the Indiana Department of Education in the state’s continuing effort to ensure local compliance with the ongoing mandates of the federal Healthy, Hunger-Free Kids Act of 2010 once again mandatre a 10 cent price increase. Compliance with the requirement of the statute is actively monitored by the Indiana State Board of Accounts through their audit process, with exceptions being taken in audit reports for schools that are found not to be charging high enough prices. However, the Indiana Department of Education has the authority to grant waivers for the required price increases upon application by a local school corporation if the local school officials believe such a price increase is not warranted or required. After examining our latest financial results and ongoing fiscal projections for ZCS, we have concluded that the mandated price increase for the 2015-2016 school year is not required here. Accordingly, we propose to apply for a waiver of the price increase and maintain prices unchanged for the next school year.

Objective POSITIVES related to this item or approach: Evaluating both the products we serve and the expectations of our customers helps to ensure we are operating the school lunch program in a responsible manner, and using these results to project our financial status forward through the coming school year while also completing the PLE calculation, further establishes compliance with USDA regulations, and gives us a basis to lave prices unchanged for 2015-2016. Objective NEGATIVES related to this item or approach: Some revenue that could have been realized for the school lunch fund will be foregone without a price increase. Opinion/Recommendation: It is recommended that all types of school lunch prices remain unchanged for the 2015-2016 school year from the 2014-2015 school year prices. It is also recommended that seeking a waiver from the Indiana Dept. of Education of the PLE federally mandated price increase be authorized. Financial Implications, if any: The opportunity costs of not seeking a price increase are the only costs. Our projections of the revenues, expenses, and fund balances of the School Lunch Fund indicate that it does not require increased revenues for 2015-2016. Suggested Wording for a Motion, if any: I move to authorize application to waive the federal mandatory lunch price increase for the 2015-2016 school year, and if approved, to hold ZCS lunch prices at current levels throughout the coming school year.

Zionsville Community Schools Board of School Trustees Meeting “Item for Consideration”

New Business Item 6c ● May 11, 2015

Request to Upgrade PowerSchool Servers

Category: Human Resources, Personnel/Staffing Curriculum, Instruction, Assessment X Finance, Budgeting, Accounting Student Services _____ Board Policy Facilities, Transportation, Nutrition Community Relations Other

Type of Board of Trustees Consideration Sought: Action X Discussion Report

Facts of this Matter: Over seven years ago, ZCS made the change from Sasi to PowerSchool. At the time we purchased servers that could run the software well, based on our student population. Since then, ZCS has grown by over 1,000 students and our servers running PowerSchool can no longer handle the load. The latest software update requires more power than our current servers are able to produce. We have two options to keep our system running. Our first option would be to upgrade our servers. However this would only be effective for three to four years until we surpass the 7,000 mark in enrolled students. This upgrade would cost approximately $18,000. A second option would be to purchase a server array and replace our current servers with more powerful, up-dated equipment. This option is technically preferable because it would give us much more power and more flexibility in load balancing, while providing a more robust infrastructure with a significant amount of redundancy. This option would be sufficient to more than handle the future increases in computing demands that will occur from all projected student enrollment growth over the next decade or so. Being modular, this server array can be updated incrementally as needed to deal with any possible technological changes over time. The cost of this second, and obviously preferable option is approximately $25,000. Objective POSITIVES related to this item or approach: Although the recommendation to replace our current PowerSchool servers now has been precipitated at this time because these machines do not have the power to handle the latest PowerSchool software update, their age would have required replacement in the near future in any case. These seven-year-old servers do not have expansion capability to handle the student enrollment loads expected in the next few years, and in fact are already facing obsolescence to the extent that parts and maintenance services are becoming increasing difficult to obtain. The recommended new server array will not make the system much faster, but will also reduce ongoing maintenance costs.

Objective NEGATIVES related to this item or approach: The only known negative factor is the cost of a new system. Opinion/Recommendation: It is recommended that the Board authorize the purchase of the server array as described above. Financial Implications, if any: As described above, the costs of this server array system will be significant. However, there is sufficient appropriation in the 2015 Capital Projects Fund for technology equipment to allow this cost to be paid from CPF. The first option, although about $7,000 cheaper, would require replacement again in three to four years due to capacity issues generated by our ongoing growth in student enrollment. The second option, the server array, is expected to provide approximately three times the service life as an upgrade to the present system would. Suggested Wording for a Motion, if any: I move that the Board of Trustees authorize the purchase of the server array as recommended.

Type of Board of Trustees Consideration Sought: Action X Discussion Report

Facts of this Matter: And the survey says… Actually, the survey for this is ongoing as of the writing of this item. We had more than 2,000 responses in the first 24 hours (including more than 1,000 during the first overnight!). Jane and I will harvest the full data set on Sunday and reveal it to you quickly so that you do not have to attempt digesting it at the Board table. I will paste in the three calendar prototypes below with some annotations. This is designed to help you be conversant with some of the biggest issues in play. The strategy of prototyping calendars for 2016-2017 with intent to replicate the structure of the chosen calendar onto the dates for the following year eases the confusion for respondents to the survey. Of note with this strategy are two important things, one an opportunity and one a possible struggle.

1. Weeks fall differently across each year, and this can have some dramatic effects on the weeks in which start and end dates land in the latter of the two years to be considered here, but I will show you a version for each that corresponds to the prototypes.

2. There are always little tweaks around the edges (start and end) of each calendar that can allow for some responsiveness to survey feedback even after the prototypes have been shown. As an example in this year’s clump of calendars, if there is sufficient popularity in the Z-2 (balanced) calendar, we could move the start date one week later in August to make it look similar to the non-balanced calendar. A single week would be added in June for offset—and a fair number of folks would be less upset if the Z-2 calendar were selected.

Please keep in mind that a larger than usual number of people become very opinionated about calendar adoptions. No decision or direction will achieve consensus. Some will cry foul about conspiracy no matter what you decide. And so, our actions have been transparent throughout. School calendar is an intensely personal thing in the lives of families across our spectrum of struggling with busy lives, divorce sharing of very busy kids, opportunities to travel for work and take the family during school weeks, and everything in between. Thus, adhering to some so-called “big rocks” (like the firm, firm “end semester one before winter break”) simultaneously

provides rationale to start for the start date and also causes the most angry among our respondents to see that even your hands are somewhat tied in effort to ensure that this remains an academic calendar facilitative of best academic outcomes. By the way, because the ways in which humans move in large groups are often illogical, the notion of longer breaks during the school year operates an important counter-intuitive thing. That is, parents who are against this for sports or work reasons sometimes assert that it is bad for kids to stop and start around a two-week break in the fall and spring. In fact, those who have experienced these calendars see some surprising effects. Following were by-products we did not anticipate with longer fall and spring breaks when I introduced them twenty years ago in Pike Township.

1. Students were better rested in their academic time pre and post break. 2. Student attendance elevated. 3. Teachers were less stressed in the academic time before and after break. 4. Teacher absenteeism goes down. 5. Disease incubation (particularly in the fall with the start of cold/flu season) was altered

during most years with illness seeming to not spread as easily across the student and teacher populations—surely contributing to numbers two and four, above.

6. I recall many situations where the calendar aided teacher retention. In the late 1990s as Pike was changing rapidly and people were exiting to go north, several teachers moved their children and kept jobs—remarking that they just could not leave the calendar. Anecdotal, yes. But I learned through this experience that the old saw is true, “Humans would just as soon retain a familiar pain as accept an unfamiliar pleasure.”

7. Summer learning loss is not a grave issue here with our mostly enriched family lives. However, affluent school districts on more balanced calendars (eight week summers instead of ten) documented in the 1990s lower incidence of adolescent injury and petty crime during the waning weeks of a long summer break. The belief at that time was that adolescents (okay, mostly boys!) get bored with long summers and engage in stupid things. No real science here except that emergency room visits were tracked in suburban Durham, NC to corroborate this phenomenon across years before and after the school calendar change. Perhaps a non-sequitur here where no one ever gets bored, injured or in trouble, right? However, the prevalence of sports involvement here likely mitigates any supposed ill-effects of surplus down time, summer or otherwise.

Though we did not do this in Pike, recent winters have proven to me that a two-week share of “break” in the spring semester may provide an opportunity in future years to land a week of it wrapped around Presidents’ Day. It is widely known that the so called “winter doldrums” exist in the dead of the span between New Year’s and spring in this region. Of course, this is a significant change atop a significant change. Baby steps are likely, if at all, with regard to making a more continuous calendar. Lest this seem a commercial for changing our calendar to coincide with what many districts in the region have come to know and love, the last word here has to be about very stiff dissent with this trend toward shorter summers and dispersed school break days across the year. Many, many parents (chiefly families with two working parents) state a very real logistical problem related to calendar shifts, sometimes even very small ones. While this has been overcome through school-based enrichment and child care in many places, the arrangements for students during non-school time are idiosyncratic from family to family—and parents are

understandably twitchy about any waves that look to upset the delicate balance they must strike to ensure their children’s safety and engagement during non-school times. While balanced calendar mavens would argue that the change merely changes some of the time frames for the days off—and does not increase them, the specter of making multiple, longer arrangements across the year often overwhelms. Now, on to the calendars. Objective POSITIVES related to this item or approach: We will have more robust feedback on these calendar prototypes (broader across all stakeholder populations) than ever before. Establishment of the “big rocks” as a bit of a roadmap for all things calendar is an important innovation in being able to extinguish some of the repetitive arguments common to the old calendar committee approach. The prototype of year one approach will not deter folks who want to express anger about the eventual decision, but it obviously reduces the confusion of things and lands final decision-making authority right where it must—with you. A wonderful new wrinkle this time leverages our Canvas learning management system by which these calendar prototypes were released on Tuesday to ALL students in this district. Their voices matter, too, and though they will likely run in alignment with their parents’ feelings, this is the first full and direct solicitation of all students on school calendar. Objective NEGATIVES related to this item or approach: Well, no matter what is said or done regarding calendar, some people are not happy. This goes to the diversity of lifestyle, work obligations, and family configurations even in this place that is thought by many to be very homogenous. Simply, I have done calendars in schools for more than two decades now. I believe that full transparency with all stakeholders is way better than a small committee that is never representative of all views on this very contentious matter in the life of a school community. Opinion/Recommendation: I will supply this at the table on Monday after seeing the data. I simply cannot tell where feedback will land on this. Financial Implications, if any: School days in August cost a bit more in utilities than school days in June. However, we have long heeded parents’ cry to get out of school as early as possible in June. As we learned during the last calendar round, the proposed extra days off of another week in fall and spring would have us out during the cheapest heating/cooling days of the year. This, too, is a bit of a financial offset that is hard to pinpoint, but it is not nothing. Finally, though not our financial implication, families who are not affluent can see a cost increase for child care with a balanced calendar because of arranging activities when they must work during fall and spring as opposed to having a more cost-effective plan for many more clustered weeks in the summer (family caregiver, etc.). This, too, is not nothing, and it drives school calendar traditionalists crazy (and should) when decision-makers do not acknowledge this real thing in their lives. Suggested Wording for a Motion, if any: I move approval for the Option ______ format of calendars for the 2016-2017 and 2017-2018 school years. Option Z-2 – 2016-2017

Could be started about a week later and ended about a week later. This would create some imbalance in the semester days, but we see this in version L9 as well. At the end of the prototypes for 2016-2017, I’ll show corresponding ones for the next year—and the option with this calendar starting later in August by as many days as possible. OPTION L-9 – 2016-2017

See, this one has some of the semester day imbalance due to start date (85 first semester, 95 second semester). This is the outer edge that we can tolerate—but is tolerable because so many days are eaten up in the second semester with mandatory testing that it can be balanced. Please don’t let anyone ever convince you that standardized testing does not interfere with time for learning activities! OPTION T-3 – 2016-2017

This is pretty much what we have now but adjusted for the ways in which days and weeks fall across the school year of 2016-2017. Now, let’s look at how these same prototypes would play out in 2017-2018 and have a look at a Z-2 option with a slightly later start in August.

OPTION Z-2 LS (Later Start) for 2016-2017

71

As you can see, this option makes the balanced calendar look a bit more attractive to those who are very concerned about the start in early August, though it is not favored by those who see the later finish in June. Now let’s see the three prototype calendars rolled forward with 2017-2018 versions. OPTION T-3 – 2017-2018 – STATUS QUO WITH SAME START AS BALANCED

72

This one is PERFECTLY balanced of semesters with a slightly later start, a good winter break landing of the days, and a nice, early departure (May 24) with ample make-up days if we have to tack some on the end. OPTION L9 – 2017-2018 – STATUS QUO WITH SLIGHTLY LATER START

73

Here is another one that looks quite palatable. We will take heat because the L9 and the T-3 are very similar. However, this is pushing the limits of both maintaining balanced semesters and ending the first semester before the winter break. Some do not believe that these big rock considerations are as important as teachers and Leadership Team members claim. However, these folks are in a distinct minority—particularly if they have ever had middle or high school students of their own who have had to hold studies for finals across the winter break—and the anxiety of finals in early January. This, indeed, is a thing. OPTION Z-2 LS – 2017-2018 -- BALANCED CALENDAR (Same start date as T-3)

This option is shown as the later start. When we reveal this one along with the 2016-2017 version, we see that it is not onerous (except some with dual parent working families saying otherwise). Start and finish are nice. The opportunity for sustained mini internships and study travel would be nicely facilitated. As mentioned in the narrative, we could begin work on unhitching the spring weeks for a winter break during the worst time to be in schools in Central Indiana—February. A wrap of this around Presidents’ Day would present many good opportunities—mostly for the quality of life of teachers and students who are always in “blue” mode during these icy days. But that’s if this thing emerges as favored to begin with. We shall see.
