REPORT OF THE STUDENT ACHIEVEMENT COMMITTEE
(cont.)
Review of the Solution Options for Walnut Hills High School Enrollment Numbers
Scott Sublett, Director, Testing Administration
Mr. Sublet updated the Committee on possible solutions to enrollment trends that were discussed at the December 13, 2016
SAC meeting regarding building capacity and enrollment growth. Mr. Sublet provided the Committee with the following
options to address increased interest in the school:
1. Restrict the entrance requirements so that fewer students qualify for entrance; and
2. Create additional space for staff and students on and off campus.
He also reported that the new Spencer school may have some impact on enrollment at Walnut Hills.
Committee member Hoffman inquired about the District not taking out-of-district enrollments when schools reach capacity.
Mr. Myles reported that Principal Brokamp makes sure that all eligible CPS resident students get enrolled into Walnut Hills.
ACTION: Committee Chair Bolton reported that the next step would be for the Board to address open enrollment and the
options presented by Mr. Sublett
Since one of the goals of Spencer is to help alleviate demand at Walnut Hills High School, Mrs. Hoffman advised Mr. Myles to
ask parents enrolling at Spencer about what other school(s) they would have chosen if the Spencer school had not opened.
Mrs. Hoffman also expressed concern as to Walnut Hills continuing to enroll any out-of-district students when the school is at
capacity with just in-District students.
ACTION: Ms. Bolton advised to provide information about the impact that Spencer may have on Walnut Hills' enrollment
numbers, as well as looking at open enrollment numbers at Walnut Hills.
Mr. Myles reported that he and Deputy Superintendent Mitchell are looking at ways to accommodate out-of-district enrollments
when Spencer and Walnut reach capacity. Deputy Superintendent Mitchell reported that due to the demand for seats at the
Spencer school, seventh-grade seats may need to be expanded for the next school year.
Code of Conduct Publication Suggested Improvements
Bill Myles, Assistant Superintendent
Jonathan Futch, Manager, A2S/A2E, Student Affairs
Mr. Myles updated the Committee on proposed changes made to the document using the Syracuse City School District’s Code
of Conduct as a model. He reported that the focus was to make the Code less negative and not just about consequences.
Mr. Myles also reported that a section about the District’s student’s court will be added.
The following changes as of February 27, 2017, by the Administration have been included in the document for the 2017-2018
school year.
Cover: Change the color and school year throughout document (Public Affairs decides color)
Inside Cover: Add the new Superintendent’s message
Add information on Restorative Practices
Add information on what to do when you’re being Bullied/Harassed
Add information on Sportsmanship
Add information on Attendance
Back Cover: Change the publication date and tracking number.
March 20 197 2017
REPORT OF THE STUDENT ACHIEVEMENT COMMITTEE
(cont.)
The Committee recommended that the following revisions be made to the document.
Page 2: revise Alternative to Suspension (A2S) and Alternative to Expulsion (A2E) which is no longer at the Spencer
Center.
Include the first paragraph from the Board’s Policy – 2255 Equity and Excellence in Education, emphasizing that the
Board looks at everything through the lens of equity.
Add the Board’s Vision and Mission statement throughout the document.
Add language about not expelling PreK-3 or PreK-4 students once the law and/or policy is determined.
Add information from page 11 to 13 of Syracuse’s document about Getting Help with a Problem. (Mr. Myles is
working with General Counsel on appropriate language.)
Ms. Bolton advised Mrs. Mitchell to add some verbiage on confidentially, the need for health consent forms, as well as
the District’s interest in being a partner with parents for the benefit of students. Emphasize how much help is available
on a daily basis to their children.
Ms. Bolton advised to add information about extra-curriculars and field trips.
Add a picture of the new Superintendent interacting with students.
Add more candid pictures as well and less writing on pages five and nine of the current document.
Mrs. Mitchell reported that she will be working on culture streams for PreK through third grade. The standard practice
throughout all schools will be more along the lines of self-management, overall school culture and the Code itself being more
proactive than reactive and emphasize preventative rather than punitive.
ACTION: The Committee will review another draft of the Code at the March 20 SAC meeting.
ACTION: The Code will be recommended to the Board for passage no later than June 2017.
New or Collected Data on Absenteeism
Bill Myles, Assistant Superintendent
Mr. Myles reported that there is no new attendance data and that he is working with both State Senator Peggy Lehner and the
Northwest School District regarding a new pilot in order to inform new policy and procedures and new practices in CPS.
Among the possible new features will be a three-site Attendance Court, more partnering with parents, perhaps attendance clerks
at schools using CPS social workers for more family and student assistance and interaction.
Mrs. Hoffman inquired about increases in attendance at the Vision 2020 schools. Mrs. Mitchell reported that there have been
increases at the High Schools due to the My Tomorrow initiative
ACTION: Mrs. Mitchell will report on attendance about the Vision 2020 Schools at the March 27, 2017 Committee
meeting.
Thriving Learning Communities, Mayerson Academy
Karen Graves, Ph.D., Program Manager, Thriving Learning Communities (TLC)
Dr. Graves updated the Committee on Thriving Learning Communities. This effort impacts students, teachers and schools'
culture. She reported that Principal Shelley Stein will be recommending the expansion of the program beyond the fifth and
sixth grades at Rees E. Price Academy. Dr. Graves reiterated that one of the Board’s goals is to develop Great Learning
Environments.
She reported that the District has developed Advisory to help create Great Learning Environments by helping students build
academic skills, break down barriers, foster relationships, strengthen listening skills and build trust in the classroom.
The work of Thriving Learning Communities targets the four main goals of Advisory in the areas of:
Creating a sense of community;
Providing academic direction;
Providing college and career planning; and
Encouraging social and emotional learning.
March 20 198 2017
REPORT OF THE STUDENT ACHIEVEMENT COMMITTEE
(cont.)
TLC’s work is also done by adding in 24 Character Strengths in Social and Emotional Learning, which leads to greater
motivation for learning, deeper engagement within the classroom and long-term heightened performance.
A copy of the Character Strengths is attached to the minutes.
Dr. Graves advised that TLC’s programs are research based. The foundation and strengths of the program are patterns of
thinking, feeling and behaving, being universally valued, which is present in all of us. Strengths also lead to engagement,
satisfaction and meaning and well-being, which ties in with the My Tomorrow and Advisory goals.
She reported that there was a gain of 11 to 17 percentile points on achievement tests indicating that Social and Emotional
programs offer students a practical educational benefit.
Dr. Graves informed the Committee that the TLC used the research-based programs to create their program by using core
competencies of Social and Emotional Learning (Self-Awareness, Self-Management, Social-Awareness, Relationships and
Decision Making) and broke them down into units that would speak best to the different character strengths.
Materials were developed that teachers could use for implementation of the program. Deputy Superintendent Laura Mitchell
asked that “Strength Journals” be created for use in various ways by students and teachers.
Dr. Graves reported that schools that had a high implementation of the program showed that students had greater self-awareness
and the ability to name and apply their character strengths to solve problems at home and school, and the capacity to understand
how to do better in school, lower absenteeism, lower discipline rates and higher grade point averages.
Monica Battle, Principal for College Hill Fundamental Academy, was present and informed the Committee how the Social and
Emotional Learning program is impacting her school. She reported that the school community is dedicated to the work of the
program. Her goal is to build resilient children to help them know who they are and what they need to do to go beyond school
and further in life.
She emphasized that Social Emotional Learning, Service Learning and the 24 Character Strengths are the key components in
the education of the students. Her staff also uses the program to help them reflect on their own strengths.
She advised that the program is very beneficial to her students. Third and fourth graders, and Kindergartners are also exposed
to the character strengths. Ms. Battle introduced the program school-wide to ensure that everyone was on the same page,
including parents in order to help them with parenting.
Mrs. Hoffman inquired about a timeline as to when the program will be introduced to the younger grades, including preschool.
Mrs. Mitchell reported that Mayerson Academy is currently working with teachers in Advisory for grades five and six and
having discussions on introducing the program to third and fourth grades districtwide.
Schedule E Programming by School, ABC Report on Budget, Programming and Fundraising
Brian Leshner, Executive Director, Activities Beyond the Classroom
Bill Myles, Assistant Superintendent
Mr. Myles reported that an inventory of extracurricular and athletic programs was done at the schools and dollars have been
added to the 2017-2018 budget for Schedule E.
Committee Chair Bolton suggested that the budget for Schedule E needs to be removed from the CFT contract due to it
inhibiting the District's ability to provide extracurricular activities for students, and that only a certain amount of money can be
spent on extracurriculars. Mr. Myles reported that he and the CFT President reviewed the Schedule E budget.
March 20 199 2017
REPORT OF THE STUDENT ACHIEVEMENT COMMITTEE
(cont.)
Mr. Myles stated that ABC’s fundraising has helped fund additional programs and equipment. Mr. Myles reviewed Mr.
Leshner’s report on clubs that are offered at the elementary schools. Some schools may have additional clubs that are funded
through the school’s foundation or other donors. The report is broken down by name of the school, the number of clubs and
athletics, and where dollars come from to support the programs (Schedule E, Boosters, Volunteers, Grants, ABC and other).
A copy of the report is attached.
Mr. Leshner provided the Committee with a copy of ABC’s Year End Financial Analysis Report from July 1, 2015 through
June 30, 2016 and the Year-End Athletics/Extracurricular Financial Analysis from July 1, 2015 through June 30, 2016.
A copy of the reports are attached.
Mr. Myles informed the Committee that in the past the boys outnumbered the girls in high school athletic programs. However,
removing football from the equation would show that girls might outnumber the boys in athletics at the high school level.
Mr. Leshner provided the group with a copy of athletic programs in which ABC participates.
A copy of the programs are attached to the minutes.
ACTION: ABC’s contract will be up for renewal on June 30, 2017 and Mr. Myles will work with Mr. Leshner on the
process of recommending the contract for renewal and increase.
ACTION: Mrs. Hoffman inquired as to why some schools have more clubs than others. Mr. Myles will reach out to
schools with fewer clubs to determine what they have, what clubs they would like to have, and determine if
schools know what activities are offered at other schools.
Written Follow Ups
Regarding any new perspectives or new options to accommodate later start times
Dr. Lofton reported that after meeting with Superintendent Ronan and John Davis, the Director of Transportation, Mr. Davis
advised that several conversations with Metro have amounted to the same scenario about there not being enough Metro buses or
vehicles to accommodate later start times. At any rate, to accommodate later starts in some would force other high schools to
change their start times.
For example, Hughes, Shroder and Woodward would need to start school earlier in order to free up buses.
Dr. Lofton reported that Metro could accommodate five to fifteen minute later start times at some schools with existing
inventory.
ACTION: The Committee assigned the Administration to contact other districts that have changed their start times to learn
how they managed the transition.
Ms. Bolton and Dr. Lofton advised that other districts may be using their own buses to transport their students.
ACTION: Ms. Bolton advised that additional bus companies may be needed to address CPS’s needs and advised Dr.
Lofton to research and update the Committee and to report on how to contract to expand the bus inventory.
ACTION: Ms. Hoffman advised that the District needs to hear from Metro about what a different plan would look like for
the CPS District, and that the Administration investigate how other districts changed their start times, costs
involved, different scenarios, would start times for elementary schools need to change, the need for additional
contracts, and different routings.
ACTION: Dr. Lofton will follow-up with Mr. Davis and Bill Moerhing, Chief Operations Officer, about the Committee’s
suggestion for a draft model.

Board Office Conference Room.
Student Voice/Representative in Board Practice
Committee member Hoffman, in the absence of Ms. Bledsoe, the Board’s Fellow, informed the Committee that she and Ms.
Bledsoe will be meeting with Pat Neal-Miller, the Director of Family and Civic Engagement on March 10, 2017 to get feedback
on the presentation for Superintendent Ronan’s Student Leadership Team’s April 2017 meeting.
ACTION: Ms. Bledsoe will prepare a guide on how the group discussions will be managed. The Policy Committee will
discuss the students' recommendations at the April 10, 2017 Policy Committee meeting.
Chairperson Jones recommended inviting the students to the April 10 meeting to involve them in shaping their participation as
student representatives on the Board.
Committee Member Nelms expressed a desire in forming a District Student Athlete Council.
Magnet Enrollment
The Committee reviewed Chief Information Officer Sarah Trimble-Oliver’s preliminary magnet enrollment first-round report
that contained racial, economic, and geographic diversity for the elementary magnet schools with the highest demand: Dater,
Fairview, North Avondale and Sands Montessori schools.
The Committee reiterated that more than one year’s worth of data is needed to see trends.
Mrs. Hoffman reported that the preliminary data showed that there was a 5 percent increase in the non-white population for
over two years. Ms. Trimble-Oliver reported this information at the February 13, 2017 Policy Committee meeting.
Ms. Jones advised the Committee to establish timelines as to when the data should be reviewed, with a goal of reviewing total
enrollments at the completion of the lottery.
Mrs. Hoffman recommended that the data be reviewed in the month of October, which is when official enrollment counts are
available. The data should also be reviewed after the third round that runs from April 5-21.
Mr. Nelms advised to include data about parents whose children were accepted into the lottery but chose not to move forward,
as well as who applied and who was accepted.
Mrs. Hoffman advised to include economic and geographic diversity data in the report.
Mrs. Neal-Miller reported that a survey will be administered to parents that participated in the lottery for school year 2015-
2016 to get feedback and to ask why parents picked a certain school. The survey will be administered at the end of March 2017
or early April 2017.
Mrs. Hoffman advised Mrs. Neal-Miller to include in the survey a question as to where parents would have enrolled their
children if they did not get in through the lottery.
ACTION: Mrs. Neal-Miller will provide an update on the results of the survey at the May 8, 2017 Policy Committee
meeting.
March 20 206 2017
REVISED
REPORT OF THE POLICY COMMITTEE
(cont.)
Ms. Jones advised the Committee that when looking at the patterns and trends of the data, clarity is needed as to why the data is
being reviewed, as it is tied to the Magnet Enrollment policy, and how does it reveal that equity is being achieved in the
enrollment process.
Ms. Jones talked about how the magnet enrollment relates to the Board’s equity policy that affects the entire District. She also
advised that once the Board establishes its measures for its strategic goals, it is imperative that the Board addresses equity in the
magnet enrollment and establishes a framework to do it.
ACTION: The Committee will include in its workplan what are the measures of equity.
Policy 7560.01 – Creation of High Quality Schools
Ms. Jones reported that the Policy will be recommended for approval at the Board’s March 6, 2017 Regular Meeting.
She informed the Committee that Board member Bates initiated review of the policy upon the Board’s past consideration of
partnering with Phalen Leadership Academies to ensure that the Board, at least on an annual basis, requires a report regarding
the progress of any community schools that it sponsors or supports. The reports will include a review of the academic
achievement and financial accountability of the school.
OSBA Essential Policies
Policy 5201 – Truancy
Mr. Hoying recommended that the Committee review Policy 5201 – Truancy, due to House Bill 410 that will require changes to
the document. The bill will be effective in April 2017.
The Bill will redefine “habitual truancy,” remove the term “chronic truancy” from the Ohio Revised Code, and revise when
schools can intervene from a day’s scheme to a calendar year.
The bill now defines “habitual truants” as students that miss more than 30 consecutive hours, 42 or more hours in a month, or
72 or more hours in a school year.
When a student reaches the level of a habitual truant, the school district must assign the student to an absence intervention team
comprised of at least two district staff members and the student’s parent or guardian
Mr. Hoying informed the group that the General Assembly has prohibited schools from suspending or expelling students for
truancy. The District does not practice this procedure.
Committee member Nelms inquired as to how long students are considered truant or dropouts.
Mr. Hoying advised that he has been discussing this with Barbara Mattei-Smith, Director of Performance and Accountability,
and that currently there is nothing in the statute as to how the Ohio Department of Education and Educational Management
Information System will treat withdrawing students, as this is counted on student’s report cards.
Mrs. Hoffman reiterated that Bill Myles, Assistant Superintendent, is working with Senator Peggy Lehner regarding a pilot
program on attendance and truancy.
ACTION: The Committee will review the Truancy policy at the April 10, 2017 Policy Committee meeting.
