REPORT OF THE FINANCE COMMITTEE The Finance Committee met on Wednesday, July 16, 2014, at 11:30 AM at the Cincinnati Public Schools Education Center in the Board Conference Room.

FOR BOARD APPROVAL Internal Auditor FY2015 Audit Plan Chandra Brown, Internal Auditor, reported that the Audit Committee reviewed, made recommendations, and agreed with the Internal Audit Plan for Fiscal Year 2015 at their June 11, 2014 Audit Committee meeting. Mrs. Brown updated the Finance Committee on her plan. Committee Chair Bates suggested that because Teacher Evaluation System is one of the five audit areas, selected using a risk-based approach, that it be reviewed by the Finance Committee. This was originally assigned to the Student Achievement Committee; however, changing to the Finance Committee may be more appropriate, during this first year of contract implementation, to obtain updates from the Internal Auditor’s audit of the process. The Committee agreed with the Plan and will recommend approval at the Board's July 28, 2014 meeting. The Plan will be available in the Board office and on the District's website. Report on Board Assignment An anonymous complaint was submitted to the Auditor of State’s Fraud Reporting System. The complaint was forwarded to the Board President for information and consideration of whether any action is warranted or necessary. At the request of the Board, Internal Auditor Brown investigated the concerns; the results showed that no fraud activity occurred. ACTION: Cynthia Dillon, General Counsel, and Internal Auditor Brown will prepare a response for the Board to review

and submit to the Auditor of State regarding the case. Finance 6000 Series Policy Review Diana Whitt, Treasurer, continued the review of the Finance 6000 Series Policies. Each policy was individually reviewed and any suggested revisions were discussed. She reviewed the following policies with the Committee: 6105 Authorization to Use Facsimile Signature Typographical changes only 6110 Grant Funds ¶ 3, line 4 – should read “The Treasurer shall ensure that

…” 6140 Depository Agreements No change 6144 Investments Will review with Financial Advisor for ORC compliance. 6144.01 SWAP Policy Recommend rescinding 6145 Borrowing No change 6150 Tuition Income No change 6151 Bad Checks Change title to Insufficient Funds. Treasurer Whitt will

Other Occasions No change

REPORT OF THE FINANCE COMMITTEE (cont.)

Committee Chair Bates reported that Elisa Hoffman, Board Member, suggested providing links in the CPS policies to the procedures or ORC or other appropriate websites when referenced. Superintendent Ronan indicated the process would be time consuming in order to assure accuracy. The Committee agreed to start with the Finance 6000 Series policies. Treasurer Whitt will submit the recommended revisions to the Policy Committee. The review of the Finance 6000 Series policies will continue at the next Finance Committee meeting on August 13, 2014. Pleasant Ridge Montessori (PRM) Cell Tower Financial Legalities Ms. Dillon reported that the Board made an agreement with PRM in 2006 regarding a cell phone tower that is placed on CPS' property. Mike Burson, former CPS employee, was the point person and the agreement was approved through the Facilities Committee. Since 2006, the cell tower vendors have changed several times. The contract is very one-sided to the benefit of the cell tower vendor. The Committee discussed the current available monies. The funds generated by this agreement do belong to PRM. The Committee assigned the Superintendent and Treasurer to work with PRM to develop a plan to expend and not invest the funds. ACTION: In anticipation of the next contract renewal, Ms. Dillon will research marketing agreements. Contract Implementation Meeting Update to Workplan Committee Chair Bates requested the contract be reviewed to determine what items in the contract need to be monitored for implementation. Any items that are not implemented should provide an explanation as to why it was not implemented. Payment in Lieu of Taxes Agreement – Broadway Development 2001, Ltd. Treasurer Diana Whitt presented a Payment in Lieu of Taxes Agreement with Broadway Development 2001, Ltd. to the Committee. During the period of time in which the tax exemption is in effect, Broadway Development 2001, Ltd. shall pay to CPS an amount equal to 25 percent of the increased taxes that would have been levied had the abatement not been in effect. Annual revenue to CPS is estimated at $18,442.58. The 15-year revenue is estimated at $2,736,638.70. The agreement will be included in the Treasurer’s Report for recommendation of approval at the July 28, 2014 Board meeting. Committee Chair Bates instructed the Administration to have these agreements reviewed by David Conley, Owner, Managing Partner, Rockmill Financial Consulting. Medpace Update The Student Achievement Committee will be meeting with representatives from John P. Parker school and Medpace to discuss partnership opportunities. The Finance Committee will be meeting with representatives from the City of Cincinnati and Ohio Department of Transportation. Ms. Dillon will contact them with the suggested dates of July 24 at 8:30 a.m. and July 29 at either 8:30 a.m. or noon. Other Business Treasurer Whitt shared that David Conley, Owner, Managing Partner, Rockmill Financial Consulting, reported that interest rates appear to be moving in favor of refinancing. This information will be presented at the Committee of the Whole meeting on August 6, 2014.

July 28 432 2014

REPORT OF THE FINANCE COMMITTEE (cont.)

The meeting adjourned at 12:55 PM. Finance Committee Staff Liaisons Melanie Bates, Chair Mary A. Ronan, Superintendent Eve Bolton Diana C. Whitt, CFO, Treasurer Ericka Copeland-Dansby Mrs. Bates moved that the Report of the Finance Committee be accepted. Passed viva voce. President Bolton declared the motion carried.

REPORT OF THE POLICY COMMITTEE The Policy Committee met on Tuesday, July 22, 2014 at 11:30 AM at the Cincinnati Public Schools Education Center in the Board Office Conference Room. Policy 3220 – Teacher Evaluation Yenetta Harper, Director for the Office of Innovation, informed the Committee that revisions to the policy have been made to be contractually compliant. The student growth component is compliant to Ohio Department of Education requirements. For the Evaluation Timeline, expected will be used instead of average. This policy will be added to the Policy Committee Work Plan for June, and will be reviewed on an annual basis. ACTION: The Committee recommended approval of the revisions, and they will be presented to the full Board for

approval at the Special Public Board meeting on July 23, 2014. Board Policy 2111 – Parent Involvement Review/9140 – Parent/Family Engagement ACTION: The Committee recommended approval of the revisions, and they will be presented to the full Board for

approval at the Special Public Board meeting on July 23, 2014. New Policy – 9125 Social Media Policy for District Employees Dawn Grady, Marketing Manager for Public Affairs, reviewed the new policy with the Committee. For additional emphasis, the following will be added to the Personal Technology Staff Guidelines section of the policy:

Personal Internet usage should be unrelated to school. In certain circumstances, courts have held that personal online communications may be connected enough to the District to result in staff member discipline.

ACTION: The Committee recommended approval of the revisions, and they will be presented to the full Board for

approval at the Special Public Board meeting on July 23, 2014.

July 28 433 2014

REPORT OF THE POLICY COMMITTEE (cont.)

Policy 8330 – Student Directories Dan Hoying, Assistant General Counsel, informed the Committee that under the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA), 34 CFT Part 99, and Ohio Revised Code 3319.321 (Ohio FERPA), the Board may designate categories of information that it considers “directory information.” Since 2007, CPS has recognized only three categories of information in its directory of information policy: student’s name, participation in officially-recognized activities and sports, and awards received. The Committee agreed with the Administration’s recommendation of no changes to the policy at this time. ACTION: The Administration will update the Committee as necessary. Board Food Policies Jessica Shelly, Food Service Manager, presented the following revised Board policies that ensure CPS is in compliance with both federal and state laws: 8500 – Food Services 8510 – Sale and Consumption of Nutritional Foods 8515 – Wellness 8550 – Vending Machines Mrs. Shelly stated there are not many changes and most will only affect the Food Service staff, and when sales can and cannot happen. Board member Hoffman questioned how the length of the lunch period at each school is determined. The principal at the school determines the lunch periods based on the school’s master schedule. At some schools, recess is before lunch. This helps because the students enter the lunchroom hungry and ready to eat. ACTIONS: Mrs. Shelly will present best practices and suggestions for scheduling the lunch period upon request from the

Principals at Local School Decision Making Committee (LSDMC) meetings.

The Committee recommended approval of the revisions, and they will be presented to the full Board for approval at the Special Public Board meeting on August 11, 2014.

The meeting adjourned at 1:14 PM. Policy Committee Staff Liaisons A. Chris Nelms, Chair, absent Cynthia Dillon, General Counsel Melanie Bates Yenetta Harper, Director, RttT* Elisa Hoffman *Race to the Top Mrs. Bates moved that the Report of the Policy Committee be accepted. Passed viva voce. President Bolton declared the motion carried.
