REPORT OF THE AUDIT COMMITTEE

The Audit Committee met on Tuesday, December 18, 2018 at 4:30 PM at the Cincinnati Public Schools Education Center in

Conference Room 1-A.

Strategic Project Review and Verification Report

Lauren Roberts, Internal Auditor

Strategic improvement projects are a top priority of the Cincinnati Public Schools’ Performance Leadership Team (PLT) for the

2018-2019 school year. The PLT consists of the following key members: Superintendent, Treasurer/CFO, Deputy Superintendent,

Assistant Superintendents, Chief Information Officer, Chief Operating Officer, General Counsel, Chief Strategic Communications

Engagement Officer, and Director of Human Resources.

The PLT is participating in an Improvement Science Leadership course, Impact U, through Cincinnati Children’s Hospital which

focuses on quality improvement and change management. Through this training, each member of the PLT selects a strategic project

in which they will define a process, identify areas in need of improvement, apply various solutions, and tract data to identify the

most effective solutions in which to implement more broadly.

January 7 10 2019


(cont.)

Internal Audit is supporting the strategic project initiative by reviewing the PLT’s resulting process documentation and data to

independently determine if the project objectives have been met and if there are additional opportunities for improvement.

Internal Audit performed review and verification procedures for The Director of Human Resources’ strategic improvement project,

The CPS Employee Experience. The goal of the strategic project was to decrease the payroll errors to enhance the employee

experience.

The Internal Auditor’s objectives were to review the project documentation, validate the results of the strategic project, and identify

additional areas of opportunity. Although Internal Audit was unable to definitively validate that the interventions performed directly

decreased pay errors, there is reliable evidence payroll errors have in fact decreased since the initial HR/Payroll system conversion.

The review also resulted in numerous recommendations which can be utilized by the PLT as they execute future strategic projects.

The full report is available in the Board Office.

Engagement Officer

Community Members/Parents

Page Stevens; Michaela Oldfield

New Draft Policy 9141 – Community Engagement

Committee Member Bolton discussed with the Committee a draft of the policy. The policy was created after a review of the Local

School Decision Making Committee’s (LSDMC) policies and structure. It was learned that the policies were more focused on the

LSDMCs and less specific to community engagement. The policy includes language that will strengthen the District’s community

engagement in its plan for the District’s success. The document also includes Effective Engagement Principles and Equitable

Community Engagement Principles.

January 7 14 2019

New Draft Policy 9141 – Community Engagement (cont.)

Ms. Worley informed the Committee about IAP2. IAP

2 is an international association of members who seek to promote and improve

the practice of public participation/public engagement in relation to individuals, governments, institutions, and other entities that

affect the public interest in nations throughout the world.

The program’s public participation goal is to: Inform, Consult, Involve, Collaborate, and Empower. Committee Chair Bates

expressed concern about the word Empower – To place final decision-making in the hands of the public. She recommended using

the word “equity” and stated final decisions will “rest” with the Board of Education. She also advised to add this language within

the policy.

ACTION: The Committee will recommend approval of the document at the January 7, 2019 Business Meeting.

Update: New Policy – 9120 Internal Communications and Engagement

Mr. Hoying reviewed the policy with the Committee. The intent of the policy is to make sure staff is well informed and able to

access information quickly, since they are the first contact with families. Committee member Moroski recommended adding a FAQ

(Frequently Asked Questions) section to the My CPS website. Ms. Worley reported that she is working with the Information

Technology Department to use Chatbot as a means of communication.

A Chatbot allows a form of interaction between a human and a machine. The interaction happens via written messages or voice.

The chatbot is programmed to work independently from a human operator. It can answer questions formulated to it in natural

language and answer like a real erson would. What is a Chatbot; Jan 3, 2018 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=38sL6pADCog

The Committee recommended posting information at all school buildings, including the Superintendent’s Recommendations and the

Treasurer’s Report.

ACTION: Ms. Worley will revise the policy with the Committee’s recommended changes and discuss the document at the

January 2019 Policy Committee meeting.

Other Business

Use of the Walnut Hills High School Swimming Pool

Ms Bates informed the Committee about a complaint she received from a constituent about the perception that the Administration is

giving priority for the use of the Walnut Hills High School swimming pool to private swim programs, requiring the Clark

Montessori swim team to use the pool at the Norwood YMCA for team practices. She asked who by Board policy has the authority

to schedule rentals of CPS athletic facilities and what policies and procedures are to be followed.

ACTION: Mr. Hoying will review District policies and procedures regarding the rental of athletic facilities and report to the

Committee his findings and recommendations for revision, if needed. Follow up with Walnut Hills High School

regarding its pool schedule shall also occur to ensure Board policies and procedures are being followed with the

school's pool rentals to ensure CPS programs are given priority.

The Good Food Purchasing Program

Committee member Moroski presented a proposed draft of a Resolution to implement the Good Food Purchasing Program. He also

introduced Page Stevens, UFCW Local 75, and Michaela Oldfield, JD, PhD, Director, Greater Cincinnati Regional Food Policy

Council. Both ladies informed the Committee about their support and involvement in the Program.

The Good Food Purchasing Campaign encourages large institutions to direct their buying power toward five core values—local

economies, environmental sustainability, valued workforce, animal welfare and nutrition. https://goodfoodcities.org/about/

The Board heard a presentation about the Program at their December 17, 2018 Board meeting. Mr. Moroski emphasized from

discussions that took place at that meeting, that individuals who own farms may not be a diverse group of people, but boosting local

economies through Good Food ensures that workers work in this type of environment are given a living wage; workers who are a

diverse group of people (some of whom are parents of the District's students). Workers should be paid what they are worth and

treated well.

Committee members expressed concern about local vendor and minority women businesses. The Committee agreed to recommend

passing a resolution after the policy has been recommended for adoption.

ACTION: Mr. Hoying will draft a policy, a resolution, review local vendor purchasing policies, and update the Committee at a

Policy Committee meeting in January 2019.

Budget Items that Arose in Year 2018

Ms. Bolton informed the Committee that in 2017 there was a great inventory of the Arts and inequities. She also reported that more

attention should have been paid in allotting and making sure that funding for the Arts was communicated during the budget process.

Presentation: NAMI (National Alliance on Mental Illness)

Dorothy Calloway, Parent Advocate, Regional Coordinator

Elise Bowen, PAC (Parent Advocacy Connection)

Ms. Calloway, who works out of the Columbus office for NAMI of Ohio, reported that the Parent Advocacy Connection (PAC) of

Ohio is a Parent Peer Support Program that supports families through crisis by helping and teaching parents how to advocate for

their children. She reported that the service is free and individuals are referred to NAMI from the mental health board, Columbus

and other locations.

PAC supports families as they try to seek help through multiple systems (Juvenile Court, JFS, Child Protective Services, Education,

Mental Health and Developmental Disabilities).

NAMI would like to be a part of the CPS team to help parents and students be successful within the school District as a whole.

Committee member Davis would like to see NAMI Ohio integrated into the work that CPS is doing and not be envisioned as an

outside source.

ACTION: Committee members were in agreement that services provided by NAMI would be beneficial to the District.

Assistant Superintendent Bunte will meet with NAMI to discuss how the organization can fit within the “Whole

Child,” to increase parental support, and train parents to advocate for their children.

Attendance Campaign from Cleveland, Ohio Schools

Ms. Bolton provided the Committee with an article that she received at the Ohio School Boards Association’s Leadership

Conference. The article is titled: In Cleveland, Reducing Absences is a Community-Wide Effort. Ms. Bolton reported that

ACTION: The SAC will discuss how the campaign affected the community at a scheduled SAC meeting. The Administration

will look into Cleveland’s efforts on attendance.

Bullying Report from Community and Decision Makers Conversations

Dani Isaacsohn, Bridegeable

Mr. Isaacsohn updated the Committee about anti-bullying conversations and strategies that he conducted at various schools. The

project focused on getting feedback, insights, and ideas from students who have experienced bullying, parents of students who have

experienced bullying, student leaders, teachers, staff and administrators. The process included academic and policy research, one-

to-one interviews, facilitated group discussions between CPS decision makers and those who have been bullied.

The following are next steps that were generated from the engagement:

1. Create a “Bullying Advisory Board” of students to sustain engagement.

2. Develop a strategy to train all CPS staff on empathetic listening, especially as it relates to issues of bullying and trauma.

3. Pilot and expand mentorship, peer-meditation, and support group programs.

4. Increase use of restorative practices, and move away from traditional punitive strategies.

A summary of Mr. Isaacsohn’s report is available in the Board office.

Jeffrey Stec, Director of Citizens for Civic Renewal updated the Committee about the following report. He informed the group that

his work is to find out what what’s going on inside or outside of the school that would cause bullying or aggressive behavior. His

strategy is to ask the community about what’s going on outside of the building that would lead to bullying.

Hispanic community feedback

Problems

Trump – and no one at school disclaims him; after the election, parents didn’t send kids to school for fear

If you don’t speak English, people mock you

Solutions

Need more moral support from the school and the community

Offer Spanish language classes in school for adults
