integrated effort on CPS’ part, and possibly on their part too. CPS has many community partnerships.

This report is somewhat dated, but CPS has current data for the District that the committee would like to see.

In order to move ahead on equity, Ms. Bolton suggested the Administration also provide data regarding poverty disruption,

Continued Discussion: Kindergarten Entrance Requirements
Ms. Brooks continued her discussion on the possibility of moving back the cutoff date for entering preschool and kindergarten
from a September 30 birthday to an August 1 birthday.
She discussed the following report with the Committee.
At the September Board Policy Committee Meeting, the Early Childhood Department was asked to consider the
possibility of moving back the cutoff date for entering preschool and kindergarten from a September 30 birthday to an
August 1 birthday.
Under Ohio Rev. Code 3321.01, either August 1 or September 30 may be adopted by the Board as the required date by
which students must have attained the specified age for preschool or kindergarten.
While the Early Childhood Department can support either date, in their view, there are pros and cons to remaining with
September 30 or moving the cutoff date to August 1.
PROS CONS
+All students will have attained the age of
three before starting preschool or five
before starting kindergarten.
-Increases the age of eligibility for preschool (i.e.,
students who turn 3 between August 1 and
September 30 will no longer be eligible).
+All students will have attained the age of
eligibility by the first day of school.
+Avoids necessity of holding some spots
for two-year old students in preschool
classrooms before they turn three.
-Private providers (i.e., Preschool Promise
providers) will likely be negatively impacted
because of the reduced number of students eligible
(for 1 year).
-Creates a difference between CPS's rules and
neighboring school districts—most of which
currently use September 30.
-Increases number of students applying for early
entrance testing to kindergarten
November 5 1127 2018
REPORT OF THE POLICY COMMITTEE
(cont.)
Continued Discussion: Kindergarten Entrance Requirements (cont.)
Ms. Brooks commented that there would be an impact on preschool if the enrollment period is changed.
ACTION: The Administration will continue studying enrollment period and provide the Committee with data as to how
the current enrollment birthday date, third-grade and KRAL data affects learning.
ACTION: The Administration will provide the Committee with data of students that were born in August and
September.
Discuss A Resolution In Opposition to House Bill 658 – Gender Dysphoria Bill
Mr. Hoying informed the Committee about House Bill 658. The Bill prohibits a court from using a parent, guardian, or
custodian’s refusal to allow a child to undergo gender-based treatment as a basis for determining custody of the child.
The bill would require any government agent or entity with knowledge that a child under its care or supervision has exhibited
symptoms of gender dysphoria or otherwise demonstrates a desire to be treated in a manner opposite of the child’s biological
sex, to immediately notify the child’s parents, guardian, or custodian.
The bill defines “gender dysphoria” to mean “the condition of feeling one’s emotional and psychological identity as male or
female to be opposite to one’s biological sex.”
Mr. Hoying reviewed a draft of the Board’s Resolution in Opposition to House Bill 658 – Gender Dysphoria Bill with the
Committee.
A portion of the resolution states:
WHEREAS, this Board has affirmed its prohibition against discrimination against students on the basis of gender
identity and expression in Board Policy 5517.01 (Bullying and Other Forms of Aggressive Behavior); and
WHEREAS, this Board believes that the act of coming out can be an ongoing, personal, and difficult process because of
potential discrimination, homophobia, rejection, or marginalization from a student’s family and the community at large,
and therefore the student should determine how and when to disclose this personal information to the student’s family;
and
WHEREAS, this Board believes that gratuitously providing information about students’ gender identity or expression to
students’ parents, guardians, or custodians, absent reasonable circumstances that warrant a need for such information to
be reported, could endanger the student at home.
NOW, THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED, the Cincinnati Board of Education strongly opposes HB 658.
ACTION: The Committee agreed with the resolution and will recommended the document to the Board for approval at
the October 22, 2018 Regular Business meeting.
Discuss A Resolution to Extend Graduation Options to the Class of 2019, 2020, 2021
The Committee discussed the Resolution to Extend Graduation Options to the Class of 2019, 2020, 2021 as a result of
Section 733.67 of House Bill 49 of the 132nd
Ohio General Assembly. The Bill authorized two additional graduation
pathways for students in the Class of 2018.
Those additional pathways provided a meaningful opportunity for those who did not otherwise meet one of the standard
existing pathways to graduation as well as provided increased opportunities for earlier and more targeted career and technical
education pathways.
The Committee reported that urban, suburban, and rural school districts across Ohio are seeking the extension of these two
additional and meaningful graduation pathways for the Classes of 2019, 2020 and 2021 to ensure those students have the
same opportunities to graduate as the Class of 2018.
November 5 1128 2018
REPORT OF THE POLICY COMMITTEE
(cont.)
Discuss A Resolution to Extend Graduation Options to the Class of 2019, 2020, 2021 (cont.)
A portion of the resolution states:
ACTION: The Policy Committee agreed that the two additional pathways should be extended to the Classes of 2019,
2020 and 2021 and will recommend approval of the resolution to the Board at the October 22, 2018 Regular
Business meeting.
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Cincinnati Board of Education requests the Ohio General
Assembly act immediately and in advance of December 1, 2018, to extend the two additional pathways authorized in
Section 733.67 of H. B. 49 of the 132nd
General Assembly to the Class of 2019, the Class of 2020 and the Class of
2021.
Assigned by Finance Committee: Policy 6210 – Fiscal Planning Status
The Finance Committee reviewed the policy at their August 16, 2018 Finance Committee Meeting. The Board approved the
policy at their August 27, 2018 Regular Business meeting.
The Policy Committee advised that policies needing to be reviewed should first be assessed at a Policy Committee meeting
and then reviewed in the appropriate Committee in order for the recommendation of approval of the document to come from
the appropriate Committee.
Re-Affirmation to Organized Labor Resolution
The Committee reviewed A Resolution Affirming Labor Rights and Obligations in Public Workplaces.
The Cincinnati Public Schools Board of Education issues this resolution in response to the recent ruling of the Supreme
Court of the United States in Janus v. AFSCME Council 31, 585 U.S. (June 27, 2018). The Janus decision overturns
decades of well-established law and practice relating to the right of a union to require the payment of fair share agency
fees from public sector employees who decline union membership. Under Janus, public employers may not deduct
agency fees from a nonmember’s wages, nor may a union collect agency fees from a nonmember, without the employee’s
affirmative consent
ACTION: The Committee agreed under Janus that public employers may not deduct agency fees from a nonmember’s
wages, nor may a union collect agency fees from a nonmember, without the employee’s affirmative consent.
The Policy Committee will recommend approval of resolution to the Board at the October 22, 2018 Regular
Business Meeting.
New Policy: Crowd Funding
Mr. Hoying discussed with the Committee the possibility of teachers being able to generate donations to provide materials to
enhance the educational experience of their students, as mentioned by Dave Yost, Ohio Auditor of State. The Auditor is also
urging school districts to adopt policies to govern the use of online fundraising.
Mr. Hoying will view the Ohio School Boards Association webinar on Crowdfunding Best Practices on Wednesday, October
24, 2018, from 12:30 p.m. to 2:00 p.m. He will also look into how other districts are using crowdfunding and survey teachers
to learn how successful they are at raising funds. Committee member Bates will provide the Committee with crowdfunding
information available through the Council of the Great City Schools.
Committee member Moroski recommended that policy indicate that a preferred crowdfunding vendor be used district-wide.
ACTION: The Committee will discuss a draft policy at the December 20, 2018 Policy Committee meeting.

REPORT OF THE STUDENT ACHIEVEMENT COMMITTEE
(cont.)
Kindergarten Readiness Assessment (KRA in CPS)
Lucy Collier, Manager, K-3 ELA, updated the Committee on the following information regarding an assessment that is
administered to all first-time kindergartners. She reported:
Under Ohio’s Third Grade Reading Guarantee, all first-time kindergarten students are assessed using the Kindergarten
Readiness Assessment, or KRA.
The assessment is used to determine which students are likely to struggle with reading, or be considered “not on-track”
and need targeted reading interventions to close the gap.

4. Mrs. Bates – expand our internal communication regarding engagement.
5. Mr. Davis – do we have a directory for GSA’s and GSTA’s? Do we know where those organizations are fitting inside our
