Preschool Promise: Coming to a Ballot Near You » AFTER FOUR YEARS OF RESEARCH, a new preschool initiative is primed to hit the ballot this November. Greg Landsman, strategic advisor to Preschool Prom-ise, gives us a crash course in what voters need to know. —ELIZABETH MILLER WOOD

[ SCHOOLS GUIDE] Bulletin Board

What is the goal of Preschool Prom-ise? The goal is to expand high-quality preschool to every 3- and 4-year-old in the city. When we do that, we will have changed the trajectory of thousands of children, giving them a fair chance at a better life. For our providers, it means they will finally have the resources they need to achieve and sustain quality. And for our city, that will mean better schools when more children show up prepared.

Who would benefit from the Preschool Promise initiative? It’s universal in the sense that all families will receive some assistance. Those families who need it the most will be eligible for enough support to make full-day, high-quality preschool free. And then it would be on a sliding scale for all other families.

Though the exact cost of the initiative is still being finalized, what is the projected ROI? The Economics Center at the Univer-sity of Cincinnati’s impact analysis sug-gests that this investment would produce $50–$70 million a year over time. Conser-vatively, we’ll get two to three dollars for every dollar we invest. We believe that any ask of voters must be compelling and ur-gent. It also must be a community-driven plan that’s evidence-based, and the burden for taxpayers must be as small as possible.

How is this initiative different from oth-er Cincinnati preschool programs that are currently or prospectively in the works? This would help support CPS’s current preschool program and allow the dis-trict to pursue its expansion plan, but it doesn’t stop there, because if we did, we would only be able to serve a fraction of the children that need high-quality pre-school. CPS currently serves 1,200 of the city’s 9,000 3- and 4-year-olds, and they may be able to serve another 1,500, but almost everyone believes that we should invest in a comprehensive system of high-quality preschool programming so that we’re able to cover as many of those 9,000 as possible.

WINNING THE LOTTERY

» AFTER AN ABRUPT POLICY CHANGE IN LATE 2015 THAT DID AWAY WITH CINCINNATI PUBLIC SCHOOLS’S INFAMOUS MAGNET SCHOOL CAMPOUTS, THE BOARD OF EDUCATION HUSTLES TO COMPLETE AN OVERHAUL OF ITS ENROLLMENT PROCESS BEFORE THE 2017–2018 SCHOOL YEAR.

S C H O O LS G U I D E 2 0 1 6 | 1 1

N APRIL 6, 2016, THE BOARD OF EDUCATION FOR Cincinnati Public Schools took a decisive step to permanently alter the demographic distribution of the city’s largest school district: to set in stone 2015’s temporary suspension of the fi rst-come, fi rst-served enrollment policy, pending an offi cial vote at

the end of the 2016 school year. Replacing the fraught policy is an online lottery, which puts

all CPS families on an equal footing as they vie for competitive positions in the most popular district magnet schools.

“The feedback was loud and clear,” says Board Policy Committee chair Elisa Hoff man. “We know we can’t please everybody, but it was really apparent from our family engagement that the commu-nity supported this kind of more equitable access.” Indeed, despite vocal opposition to the suspension of the fi rst-come, fi rst-served policy, 75 percent of parents surveyed preferred the lottery as a more fair method of enrollment. “The comments in particular were really compelling,” Hoff man says, “about how much all parents care about their children’s education.”

IF EDUC ATION NEWS IS YOUR THING, THEN L A ST SUMMER WA S OPEN SEA SON for breaking headlines, prickly op-eds, and overnight single-issue parent groups. On August 10, 2015—just weeks before school was to start and a few months before enrollment for the 2016–2017 school year—the Cincinnati Public Schools Board of Education voted unanimously to temporarily suspend the district’s longstanding policy of admitting magnet school stu-dents on a fi rst-come, fi rst-served basis, replacing it with an online lottery, which began October 24, 2015.

The established “lineup” arrangement had created its own peculiar ecosystem among CPS families: One parent would suddenly decide to get in line—the 2014 line started a record 16 days before the enrollment application cycle opened—then the rest would begrudgingly fol-low, setting up tents outside of their chosen school to guarantee a spot for their kid.

To many, the fl aws of the fi rst-come, fi rst-served policy are obvious: It was highly incon-venient for families. It suggested a lack of good placement options in the district and general disarray in the administration. And perhaps most troubling, it had a way of self-selecting families of means for the best-performing schools—after all, who else can aff ord to take weeks away from work? Stocking these already successful schools with students from fi -nancially secure families (most of whom were white) contributed to the socioeconomic and racial segregation of Cincinnati Public Schools. The scene was a living example of a very real district issue: equality of access. The policy left CPS families out in the cold—both those who literally set up camp tents in the November snow and those who couldn’t aff ord to take time

O

away from work and family obligations to simply enroll their children in a quality public school.

Even still, the fi rst-come, fi rst-served approach has its supporters. Many parents did not appreciate the board’s unilateral decision, and some even threatened to move out of the district if they couldn’t secure their chosen school for their children. “There were some families who believed, and likely still believe, that the fi rst-come, fi rst-served policy gives parents a measure of control that a randomized online lottery does not,” says Director of Public Aff airs Janet Walsh. “And those have been the most vocal opponents.” According to Walsh, many of those parents already had children enrolled in the popular magnet programs and had become invested in the fi rst-come, fi rst-served policy.

Walsh acknowledges the parents’ instinct to want control over the enrollment process: “Every parent, no matter what they believe in the abstract…when it comes to advocating for their own kid, they’re going to move heaven and earth to do what they feel is right.” However, she notes that a city school district has a broader obligation: “As a district we have a diff erent perspective. Our responsibility is to look out for what’s best for all children, and that’s why our board is so concerned about fairness and equity of access.”

THE GOALS OF THE LOT TERY ARE CLEAR: USE IT TO HELP CPSmagnet schools become a better refl ection of the city’s population, both racially and economically. But simply instituting a lottery may not be

enough to suffi ciently realign the demographic makeup of magnet schools that have been largely segregated for much of their existence—it could take years for the process to catch up to the ideal.

To move things along, the CPS board has used the last year to engage and inform all district families about the new lottery system and to help them fi nd their way through the complicated process of enrolling their children, should they so choose. “There’s outreach work that is never done in our district,” Walsh says. The fi rst step was developing diff erent levels of engagement, from tech-friendly webinars to face-to-face information sessions. “We have families that we want to serve equally who really want to receive information in a form that they feel comfortable with,” explains Walsh. The hope is that, as CPS works with more families from diff erent backgrounds, the district as a whole will become more diverse at the individual school level—and in its magnet schools, in particular.

T H E C O N V E R S AT I O N A R O U N D P U B L I C S C H O O L A C C E S S I NCincinnati has become inextricably linked with a heightened focus on preschool. Preschool has always been a challenging subject in the United States, since it is not compulsory and therefore not subsidized by tax dol-lars. But more and more research suggests that preschool is benefi cial to students, better preparing them for kindergarten and grades beyond. And from CPS’s perspective, the demand for accessible, aff ordable preschool has increased accordingly—at least anecdotally.

One unintended consequence of the online lottery? Brand new quantifi -able data on this matter. Thanks to the formalized process, CPS gained a greater awareness of this city’s actual need for quality preschool options. “With the previous system, we suspected that when a lot of people saw the long lines, they didn’t even apply,” Walsh says. “With the lottery, we were able to get a picture of the true demand.”

To meet this need, CPS has expanded its preschool off erings from 1,200 to 1,500 spots across the district. They estimate that the demand could be as high as 9,000. Fairview-Clifton German Language School’s preschool program alone will expand from one classroom to six.

And where will all these new students go? For 2016–2017, most of them will attend the newly renovated Rising Stars Academy in the former Vine Street School in Over-the-Rhine, which will host 200 students in 10 classrooms of preschool programs from various schools in the district, including from Fairview-Clifton German Language (the school’s single remaining on-site preschool classroom will host a group of 20 students for the 2016–2017 school year; for 2017–2018, it is possible that all Fairview preschool students will attend Rising Stars Academy).

In addition to expanding access to public schools for more Cincinnati preschoolers, the enrollment lottery has also fulfi lled a much grander pur-pose: It opened up magnet schools to a great many more students of diff er-ent racial and economic backgrounds. Says Walsh: “Equity has been a value of CPS leadership for a long time. Because we are a diverse school district, it’s been part of our DNA. And it’s been important for this school board in particular to say it explicitly and to put it into policy.”

The club is part of the Greater Cincinnati STEM

Collaborative (GCSC) program, which started at Wood-

ward Career Technical High School in 2014, expanded

to seven other area schools last spring, and grew to

18 total clubs at schools in Ohio, Kentucky, and In-

diana in 2016. At Holmes more than a dozen middle

schoolers meet for an hour on Monday afternoons

to assemble brand-new bikes, thanks to the help of

corporate partners—Walmart providing the bikes

and tools, and volunteers from GE and Fidelity aiding

students through the assembly process. At the end of

the 10-week program, each student gets to keep their

self-assembled mountain bike, along with a helmet

and bike lock; the tools remain at Holmes for use by

next year’s club.

“It’s been incredible,” says Jeff Haney, a science

teacher at Holmes Middle School and the club’s su-

pervisor. “The kids really benefi t from these hands-on

experiences and being exposed to new things.”

Haney is an ideal fi t as the club’s leader and de facto

spokesman. Young, energetic, and oozing positivity, he’s

also an avid cyclist himself. After graduating college with

a degree in biology, he took a soul-searching bike trip

from Cincinnati to Florida and back, after which he de-

cided to get his teaching license from Xavier University.

In a diverse school with a high percentage of low-income

students—Holmes is eligible to receive Title 1 federal

funds, and 90 percent of the district’s students qualify

for free/reduced lunch—Haney’s brand of engagement

and dedication is a vital part of the club’s infl uence. To

his mind, mentorship has been the linchpin. “I did not

anticipate that the mentors would be such an asset,”

he says. “I witnessed fi rsthand some of these kids come

out of their shell.”

A handful of middle-aged men and women wearing

brightly colored GE and Fidelity T-shirts over button-

down Oxfords work with the same kids one-on-one or

in groups of two each week, pointing to diagrams in the

direction booklets, off ering congratulatory fi st-bumps,

and chatting about their day. Most of the mentors have

an interest in bikes, but more important, they show

up every Monday and take a genuine interest in their

mentees, representing a direct line for these students

from their STEM curriculum (science, technology, engi-

neering, math) to a professional STEM career.

“That’s the coolest part, even beyond the bikes, is

just seeing that human element and the connection

between the mentors and kids,” says Haney.

There’s a more conventional STEM element as

well, with corresponding workbook problems for the

students to go over with their mentors during each

session, including prompts like What type of mechanical energy (kinetic or potential) do your bikes have during your ride? and Explain how energy transformation oc-curs when you are riding your bike. The payoff , which

Haney can attest to, is seeing students transfer those

tangible experiences with the bikes to their eff orts and

interests in the classroom—and eventually, beyond.

“Our kids, when they are engaged and there’s a

hands-on element, it’s like an automatic hook,” says

Haney. “It’s almost tricking them into learning.”

At fi rst glance, it ap-

pears as if Holmes

M i d d l e S c h o o l

in Covington is in breach

of some child labor laws.

Wind through the build-

ing’s cramped hallways in

mid-spring, back to a clut-

tered storage room behind

the gymnasium, and you’ll

find a group of students

standing over upturned bi-

cycles, cranking wrenches,

adjusting tire pressure with

brand-new pumps,

and examining gear

chains. But forget

sion; this is not a

AN ECLECTIC EDUCATION IN DEER PARK —LINDA VACCARIELLO

IT’S IN A SCHOOL BUILDING, BUT THE STUDENTS ARE HOMESCHOOLED. THAT MAKES TRYING TO fi gure out just how to classify Leaves of Learning a head-scratcher. Christie Sawyer, assistant director of the nonprofi t, simply calls it an “à la carte school.”

The 19-year-old preschool–12 program housed in a former parochial elementary in Deer Park was begun by Diana Osborn, who conceived of it as a way to supplement conventional homeschooling. Today LOL has about 250 students, and approximately half of them take all their classes at the school. The rest enroll in individual subjects—often those that a parent doesn’t feel equipped to teach at home (“Science is a big one,” she says), or that are enriched by being part of a group, such as art or musical theater. Classes are small, and instructors are experts in their fi eld, Sawyer says, but LOL doesn’t require them to be certifi ed.

You hate standardized tests? At LOL your child won’t take them. “At the end of the year, a family can administer the California achievement test, or a certifi ed teacher can sign off on them having completed their grade level work,” Sawyer says. If a child fails a subject, “a family has to choose to make it up.” An LOL counselor will discuss a child’s progress and help with problems, but if Mom and Dad decide that a kid’s grasp of grammar is good enough, so be it.

Instruction is highly individualized, but this is not an appropriate setting for special needs kids, or for families looking for faith-based curricula, or kids with behavioral problems. And despite the warm-and-fuzzy vibe of the place, Sawyer says that “there are people who we’ve had to ask to leave.”

Apparently those who stay thrive: According to the program’s literature, LOL students have gone on to Carnegie Mellon, Georgia Tech, Kenyon, Purdue, and a host of other challenging, highly selective colleges and universities.

Hundreds of thousands of students are going to school online. Ohio has 12 public e-schools affiliated with school districts, in addition to the statewide Ohio Vir-tual Academy and 13 private online schools. Kentucky’s statewide virtual school closed in 2012, though sup-plemental district programs and private alternatives re-main. But with options and student numbers on the rise, it’s worth asking: Is online schooling for everyone? –SARAH STANKORB

Two programs get high school kids ready for the workforce. —ALYSSA KONERMANN

B U S I N E S S E S N E E D E M P L O Y E E S .

Graduates need jobs. Simple, right? Not so much. Two orga-

nizations—the Business-Education Con-nectivity Council, an outgrowth of Cin-cinnati USA’s Leadership Action program, and NaviGo Scholars, in partnership with the Northern Kentucky Education Coun-cil—aim to prepare high school students to enter the workforce and connect them to businesses ready to hire for jobs with good pay and a future career path.

The BECC paired up with Cincinnati Public Schools to bring businesses into the schools, focusing on healthcare, technolo-gy, manufacturing, fi nance, environmental science, and entrepreneurship. The 2015–2016 school year’s pilot program kicked off with 400 juniors at Aiken, Dater, and Gam-

ble Montessori high schools (with plans to expand) with a career expo, résumé and interview skills-building, and fi eld expe-rience. The goal? “By the [end of the year], they have a really good idea of what they want to do and where they want to go—and they’ve seen a little bit more of the world than they had in the past,” says BECC Chair (and PNC Senior VP) Doug Adams.

Across the river, NaviGo already had a system of trained coaches helping kids. They expanded its reach, soliciting busi-nesses to sponsor scholarships—154 for the 2015–2016 school year. In turn, the businesses get an early chance to meet and groom future employees. Students meet monthly with their coach, either one-on-one or in small groups, the latter of which more intensely focus on recruiting and training. “It’s not a series of career day speakers,” says president and long-time educator Tim Hanner. “We want them to learn the realities of the job by doing.”

WHEN TIM BEERMAN FIRST STEPPED ON THE BLOCKS AT ST. XAVIER High School’s Keating Natatorium, it felt diff erent. From 1982 to 1986, he was a breaststroke specialist at Moeller, but even then, St. Xavier had a certain aura. “It was palpable that being a part of St. X swimming was something special,” says Beerman. “That type of tradition, that type of energy—that’s transferred from year to year.”

Beerman is now responsible for carrying on that tradition. Before the 2015–2016 season, Beerman was named head coach of the St. Xavier AquaBombers, replacing his friend and six-time Ohio Coach of the Year Jim Brower, who shifted into a role as an assistant coach.

They say in sports that you never want to follow a legendary coach, but Beerman was hardly intimidated by the new role. “I was excited, but part of it was very familiar to me,” says Beerman, who has spent more than 20 years coaching high school swimming. “In all honesty, I haven’t really felt a lot of pressure.”

THE STATE’S GREATEST SPORTS PROGRAM JUST KEEPS SWIMMING. BY ADAM FLANGO

TAKING A DIP SURE, EVERYONE TAKES SWIM-

MING LESSONS. BUT THESE AQUATIC CAMPS AND TEAMS OFFER WATER SKILLS BEYOND THE DOGGY PADDLE.

Learn to Row Summer CampMiddle schoolers can learn sculling skills on the Little Miami River from the Queen City Rowing Club. When: Mondays, Wednes-days, and Fridays throughout July; Where:Queen City Rowing Boat House (Califor-nia); Cost: $350; Information: queencityrowing.com/youth-rowing

Wake Nation CincinnatiWith three-day sessions offered throughout the summer, kids ages 7 to 17 learn some far-out water skiing and wakeboarding tricks. When: June to August; Where: Fair-fi eld; Cost: $375; Information: wakenationcincinnati.com —A.F.

If he did feel pressure, though, it would be understandable. St. Xavier’s swim team has become the most dominant sports program in the state, and one of the most dominant in the country. The all-boys school has produced countless state record holders, All-Americans, and even an Olympic gold medalist. Since 1970, the school has won an astounding 37 state championships, more than any other sports program at any other school in the state by a wide margin. Swim-ming World Magazine named St. Xavier national champions in 1992 and 2001, while the National Interscholastic Swim Coaches Association has named the school national champions seven times. In short, the AquaBombers are a bona fi de swimming dynasty.

St. Xavier’s winning tradition is built around its team-fi rst philosophy. That may sound like common sense, but many high school athletes swim with their club teams year-round while representing their school at meets and attending the occasional practice. At St. Xavier, if you want to be on the roughly 100-man team, you have to train with the team. That means diving into the school’s eight-lane, Olympic-sized pool—one of only a handful in the state—as early as 5:45 a.m. on weekdays, followed by after-school swimming or weight lifting, meeting with nutritionists before the season, and even sacrifi cing personal accolades for team glory.

“An individual steps up on the block, but they are supported by every other member, parent, and coach who is a part of this program,” Beerman says. “I per-sonally feel that is what leads to the suc-cess that St. X has been able to achieve.”

That support led St. Xavier to the school’s eighth straight state champion-ship in February and the fi rst of what Beerman hopes is many more under his watch.

“There are a lot of people who roll their eyes at the crazy morning prac-tices or the two-a-days over holidays,” Beerman says. “When you reach the end, you realize why you did it.”

Because the Cincinnati USA region spans three states, the Schools Guideis organized by state, and listings con-tain state-specifi c data for each school and district. Additionally, the Guide lists some national data, such as ACT and SAT scores.

For public schools, we include the district and the high schools within that district. All private schools, including elementary and middle schools, are listed. The public school data was collected solely from the De-partment of Education databases for Ohio, Kentucky, and Indiana. Private schools are not required to divulge data to the state, however, many have voluntarily reported theirs to the Guide.

In Ohio, the Department of Edu-cation has been working to change the way public school performance is measured. Some newer data points are available in this year’s listings, includ-ing the percentage of third graders pro-fi cient in reading and math.

For more information, please visit the Department of Education web-sites for Ohio, Kentucky, or Indiana.

What are the Buckeye Top Fifty?

The Buckeye Top Fifty are high-wage

occupations in Ohio that are in demand by

employers and are projected to stay in demand

The Top Fifty pay average annual earnings of

more than $59,600.

Within each occupational cluster, occupations

are ranked by the total expected annual

openings.

Why do I care?

When considering a career,

examine the number of

current job openings,

projected growth for the

career, average wages and

educational requirements.

It is important to note

that almost all of these

high-wage jobs require

postsecondary education and

training.

» SIMPLY PUT, COLLEGE IS EXPENSIVE. AND THE NUMBERS aren’t shrinking. It’s important now more than ever to consider options when saving for your child’s college education. We talked to market executive John Nicholson of Merrill Lynch to go over the fundamentals you’ll need to know when you’re ready to begin the savings process.

[ COLLEGE GUIDE]

THE INS AND OUTS OF

SAVING FOR A HIGHER EDUCATION BY S A R A H M . M U L L I N S

W H E N A N D W H E R E TO S TA R T “It’s best to begin with a goal in mind,” Nicholson says. “Some parents want to fund tuition only; others want to be able to provide not only tuition, but room and board as well. What goals do the parents have in mind? Are they willing to fully fund private school? Would they rather plan for an average in-state tuition rate?”

W H AT YO U N E E D TO K N O W A B O U T A 5 2 9 P L A N In a nutshell, a Section 529 college-investing plan is a tax-advantaged way to fund higher education expens-es. Nicholson notes that the earnings portion of a withdrawal is federal in-come tax-free as long as withdrawals are used for qualified higher education expenses. Qualified expenses include tuition and fees, room and board, books, supplies, computers, software, and others. However, non-qualified expenses are subject to taxation, plus an additional fee.

OT H E R S AV I N G O P T I O N S UNIFORM TR ANSFER S TO MINOR S AC T

(UTMA): A UTMA is an account in which a custodian holds money or other property that has been gifted or transferred to a minor. Nicholson says that unlike a 529, there are no restric-tions on the use of the funds except that funds may only be paid to or for the benefit of the named minor. The custodian controls the account until the minor reaches the vesting age. At that point, the custodian has the re-sponsibility of transferring the assets to the minor. Once a gift or transfer is made, the named minor cannot be changed.

COVERDELL EDUCATION SAVINGS ACCOUNT

(ESA): “An ESA is a tax-advantaged way to fund the qualified elementary, secondary, and/or higher education expenses of a designated beneficia-ry—formerly known as the education IRA,” Nicholson says. “There are eli-gibility requirements based on a per-son’s modified adjusted gross income as well as a maximum annual con-tribution of $2,000. Neither 529s or UTMAs have eligibility requirements and the maximum contributions for 529s and UTMAs are much higher.”

M Y T H S A N D M I S C O N C E P T I O N S A B O U T T H E S AV I N G S P R O C E S S “Many people don’t account for the impact inflation has when planning to pay for a future education,” Nicholson says. “Education costs have outpaced normal costs of goods over the last several decades. Tuition for a person born today is going to cost much more than the current cost. This is why hav-ing education savings vehicles in di-versified investments will help com-bat the effects of inflation.”

W H AT YO U S H O U L D N OT D O Don’t rely on your child getting a full-ride scholarship. “It’s hard to predict if your child is going to get a full ride,” Nicholson says. “What if they get into their dream school with no aid, but get a full ride to a less desirable school? Have a conversation about these decisions.”

It’s never too late to start saving, however, planning can be complex. Nicholson says it’s important to sit down with a qualified professional to help navigate the complexities of sav-ing for college. There is not a one-size-fits-all approach.
