Charter School Statute Changes

In 2011, the Tennessee General Assembly passed three charter school bills that made particular changes in the charter school application process and in who is eligible to attend a charter school.

2

The first bill expanded enrollment eligibility to include all students residing within the jurisdiction of the authorizing Board of Education. Previously, only students zoned to a low performing school, students whose performance was below proficient on state assessments, or students eligible for free or reduced price lunch were eligible to attend a public charter school. The legislation also specified that if a Local Education Agency (LEA) authorizes a charter school that focuses on serving students from the previous eligibility criteria, then the charter school "shall give preference in enrollment to students from such group or groups." A second bill changed the charter school approval process in two ways. Charter School applicants must now provide to the State Department of Education a letter of intent to submit a charter school application prior to sending an application to a LEA. The letter must be submitted at least sixty (60) days prior to the LEA’s established deadline for submitting a charter school application to the school district. Since the deadline for submitting an application to the Knox County Board of Education is October 1st, letters of intent must have been submitted to the State Department of Education no later than August 1st. Based on information from the State Board of Education, there were two letters of intent submitted for Knox County; one from a previous Charter School applicant to the Knox County Schools and the other from an out-of-state organization that may have sent letters of intent to several different jurisdictions and may or may not send applications to them. There were some changes in the appeal processes for financial impact denials. If a Board of Education denies an application due to the substantial negative fiscal impact approval would have on the district, the Board making that argument must now provide specific evidence of the substantial negative fiscal impact to the sponsor, and then to the State Treasurer to render a decision on the impact. The sponsor may provide a response to the Treasurer, and the Treasurer may request additional information before rendering a decision. If the Treasurer finds that the information provided by the Board of Education demonstrates that establishment of the charter school would have a substantial negative fiscal impact on the LEA, the Board decision stands, and the charter school sponsor has no further appeal. However, if the Treasurer finds that the LEA has not demonstrated that authorization would be create a substantial negative fiscal impact, then an appeal to the State Board of Education could follow. The third new statute requires local Boards of Education to make a list of underutilized or vacant property, and to have a transparent process for lending space to public charter schools.

No Child Left Behind Transfers

This year the KCS offered School Choice transfers under the No Child Left Behind (NCLB) Act in two phases in an effort to provide as great a window of notice for parents as possible. In April and May, KCS offered transfers for students attending qualifying high priority schools identified as those which would have to make adequate progress against the NCLB benchmarks for a second year in order to be removed from the high priority list. These were schools that would not come off of the high priority list regardless of how well they performed on the 2011 TCAP tests. In August, the second group was offered School Choice transfers for those schools that were newly identified as high priority, based on the 2011 TCAP test results. While School Choice transfers will continue to be granted for the remainder of the year to students new to the schools that fall under this provision of the NCLB statute, the School Choice transfer process is generally complete. In the aggregate, 574 students requested School Choice transfers and 406 or 71% actually accepted the transfers and enrolled at the receiving school. The highest levels of transfer requests came from four schools:

3

Sarah Moore Greene Elementary 46 Northwest Middle School 216 Vine Middle School 41 Austin-East High School 67

By way of comparison, there were 556 students who requested School Choice Transfers in 2010. While the transfers were spread across all grades, the heaviest concentrations were in the entry or transition grades. The schools receiving the largest number of students on transfer are: Bearden Middle School 38 Holston Middle School 34 Karns Middle School 36 Powell Middle School 110 Karns High School 41 Due to the high number of transfer requests for Karns Middle School and the space constraints at Karns the requests were stratified by the students’ academic performance and economic need, as required by the law. 42 students were offered transfers to Karns Middle School, and the remainder of the 105 students who requested Karns Middle School were offered Powell Middle School instead. Staffing adjustments have been made at Powell, Bearden, Karns and Northwest Middle Schools to address the high level of student enrollment under the NCLB transfer process.

Current Enrollment Information

Preliminary enrollment data reflects the average daily membership will stabilize at approximately 56,600 students. This is a slight increase over last year’s enrollment.

Teacher Town Hall Meetings

Two Teacher Town Hall meetings have been held over the past few weeks. These meetings have been an opportunity to share information regarding the recent changes in public education, in particular, the new teacher evaluation system (TEAM) and the strategic compensation initiative (APEX). Approximately 75-80 teachers were in attendance at the meetings. The third and final Teacher Town Hall meeting will be held at 5:00 p.m. on September 8th, 2011 at South Doyle Middle School.

5. Tim Kuhn, GIS Manager for the Metropolitan Planning Commission, gave a brief update on the Knox County Redistricting process. He presented the plans for Release #2 (attached to the agenda for September 6, 2011); all plans and supporting documents regarding the Knox County Redistricting process may be located on the www.knoxredistricting.org website. The members of the Knox County Redistricting Committee are:

There are no Knox County Commission elections in 2012; however, there are four Knox County Board of Education members whose seat will be up for election in 2012. Ms. Fugate stated that the Knox County Redistricting Committee was aware of that fact and their goal was to have the Redistricting plans finalized and presented for approval by the respective bodies in October. The next meeting of the Knox County Redistricting Committee will be on Thursday, September 8th at 5:00 p.m. in the Board Room of the Andrew Johnson Building.

Discussion of the September 7th, 2011 Regular Session Agenda:

Superintendent McIntyre explained that the policies in the “C” section on the agenda were discussed at a Policy Review meeting that some Board members and staff attended, and changes were made to reflect alignment with current procedures within the Knox County Schools.

Board Policies

Agenda Item 8J, Knox County Board of Education Policy IL, “Newly Created Public Charter SchoolsChanges were made to the policy to reflect compliance with the new Charter School statutes from the State of Tennessee. Ms. Buttry noted that the policy stated a list of vacant properties owned by the school system must be furnished to Charter School applicants and asked when the list would be available; Superintendent McIntyre said it would be available before the October meeting. Ms. Buttry asked for clarification on the timeline for approval of Charter School applications; Marty McCampbell stated that the deadline to submit applications to the Knox County Schools is October 1st; applications must be reviewed and either approved or denied by the Board within 60 days of receipt of the application. Ms. Carson asked for clarification on the deadline for Charter School applicants to send their letter of intent to the State; Superintendent McIntyre explained the deadline to submit a letter of intent would be 60 days before the application deadline of October 1st, which would be August 1st. There was some discussion on adjusting the deadlines for Knox County; and Superintendent McIntyre stated the issue could be discussed in the future if the Board desired.

:

• Grants

Agenda Item 9B, “Grant with the Department of Health and Human Services to expand the Vine Clinic to eight additional schoolsSuperintendent McIntyre explained that the grant would utilize technology to extend the Vine Clinic to eight additional schools and was an opportunity to provide medical treatment to more students. There was some discussion regarding the grant; Ms. Deathridge and Ms. Fugate asked for clarification on details of the program. Melissa Massie, Executive Director of Student Support Services and Lisa Wagoner, Supervisor of Health Services, spoke to the Board. Ms. Wagoner explained a Nurse Practitioner from the University of Tennessee College of Nursing would be located at the Vine Health Clinic; and would assess a child who became ill at one of the other schools through the TeleHealth videoconferencing system. The ill child would be attended at the

base school in the clinic by a school nurse. If the student needed medication, the Nurse Practitioner would contact the parents for clarification on which pharmacy to send the prescription. Mr. Deakins asked if the KCS IT staff would maintain the connectivity and network for the program; Gail Byard, Chief Technology Officer, affirmed they would be responsible for maintenance. Ms. Sepesi asked for clarification on liability issues; Marty McCampbell, Deputy Law Director, stated that primary liability issues were covered through the Memorandum of Understanding with the University of Tennessee.

• Regular Agenda Items:

Agenda Item 11A: Stability Pilot Program

Superintendent McIntyre gave a brief overview of the Stability Pilot Program; as part of the Race to the Top application for KCS funds for a pilot program and study for mobility/stability were approved. A committee, chaired by Montina Jones, Senior Advisor for High Needs Schools, was developed to work on the proposal. The program is a one-year pilot program to address student mobility and provide students to remain in the same school for one year. The schools in the pilot program are Belle Morris Elementary, Whittle Springs, Vine and Fulton High, and the pilot will offer three different structures for increasing student stability:

Model A

: Whittle Springs & Belle Morris – enrolled students who move out of the school zones but continue to reside within the schools’ larger feeder pattern (the stability zone) will be allowed to continue to attend the school for the rest of the school year with transportation provided Model B

: Vine Middle – students who move outside the school zone but remain within Knox County will be invited to apply for a magnet transfer back to Vine Middle; magnet transfers to Vine for students previously enrolled but moved out of zone will be accepted and considered on a rolling basis outside of the traditional transfer application window Model C

: Fulton High – students enrolled at Fulton High who move out of the Fulton zone but reside within Knox County will be conditionally allowed to continue to be attend Fulton for the remainder of the school year; students will be provided a transit pass or provide their own transportation

Superintendent McIntyre introduced Dr. Jill Hobby, principal at Whittle Springs Middle, Becky Ervin, principal at Vine Middle and Susan Espiritu, principal at Pond Gap Elementary, members of the committee who were present. Ms. Deathridge asked for information regarding potential increases in TCAP scores for students in the pilot program; Dr. Hobby stated that the research on mobility is evolving and the data for students in the pilot program will be recorded and analyzed for results and outcome. Chair Kincannon expressed appreciation to the members of the Committee.

Agenda Item 11C: Revocation of Tenure

Superintendent McIntyre explained that the Board’s vote would be to determine that if the charges were true, would warrant revocation of tenure for the employee. .

Newly Created Public Charter Schools

CODEIL MTH/YR9/11 Rescinds: Revised:

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 33 34 35 36 37 38 39 40

Charter schools should significantly benefit the students they serve and promote education reform and improvement within their adopted school model. This policy is to promote a fair and equitable process for sponsors seeking to newly create public charter schools within Knoxville and Knox County. I. The following principles and conditions will be considered in reviewing an application for a charter:

a. Student Population

The prospective student population shall be: (A) Students who were previously enrolled in a charter school;

(B) Students who are assigned to, or were previously enrolled in, a school failing to make adequate

yearly progress, as defined by the state's accountability system, giving priority to at-risk students;

(C) Students who, in the previous year, failed to test proficient in the subjects of language arts/reading or mathematics in grades three through eight (3-8) on the Tennessee Comprehensive Assessment Program examinations; (D) Students who, in the previous school year, failed to test proficient on the Gateway examinations in language arts/reading or mathematics; (E) Students in grades kindergarten through three (K-3) who are eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, who may only be enrolled no earlier than August 1; or (F) Students who are under the jurisdiction of a juvenile court and who in the court's judgment would benefit from a work experience and career exploration program. The proposed public charter school shall, in addition to complying with the application requirements §49-13-107, apply to the Commissioner of Education for approval of its proposed work experience and career exploration program.1

All students within a charter school’s jurisdiction may apply for admission and attend the charter school.1 However, where space is a limiting factor, enrollment will be in compliance with Tennessee Law.2 First priority shall be given to eligible students who meet criteria A - D above.. 2 Students enrolled in a charter school under free-reduced lunch status shall not exceed twenty-five percent (25%) of the total school population in grades kindergarten through three (K-3). Further, in no event shall more than twenty-five percent (25%) of the total school enrollment in grades kindergarten through three (K-3) consist of students who only meet free-reduced lunch criteria.3

Any charter school enrolling students based on free-reduced lunch status shall enroll students using a random selection process.4 KCS shall certify each student's eligibility to attend a charter school based on free-reduced lunch status. For certification purposes, the charter school shall supply KCS with a list of who applied, the date of the application, all students who were accepted, and the priority category of each student accepted. The required list shall be provided no later than forty-five (45) days after the charter school's first day of the academic school year.5 No charter agreement shall be granted for a private, parochial, cyber-based, or home-based school.63

Sponsors of public charter schools cannot be a for-profit entity, a private school, a religious school or church school, or promote the agenda of any religiously affiliated entity.74

b. Academic Achievement Charter schools must be committed to attaining a higher level of academic achievement than that realized in typical Knox County Schools in our system serving similar student populations. Charter schools must be committed to meeting or exceeding each of the Board’s academic and target goals, and must be focused on clear instructional goals that support rigorous, challenging learning for all students.

c. Commitment to Diversity and the Varied and Individual Needs of Students Charter schools must be accessible to and positioned to address the needs of all students, regardless of race, color, national-origin, religion, gender, proficiency in English, disability, or academic achievementneed for special education services.85

d. Reform and Innovation

Charter schools shall serve as model school programs that are markedly different than those already being offered within Knox County Schools. Charter schools must promote different and innovative teaching methods.96 Charter schools should support an environment and conditions in delivering public education not typically found in traditional public schools. Charter schools are expected to serve as model centers of reform and innovation from which educators, parents, and community members can learn new and promising instructional practices and methods that could ultimately be replicated. Charter schools should facilitate the active participation of all charter school constituents (administrators, board, sponsor(s), teachers, students, parents, and any others who might have a vested interest). While there is no prototypical charter school, approved charter schools shall provide parents and students with a clear, meaningful alternative to low performinghigh priority schools.107 The vision, mission, and operation of charter schools should be clear and focused such that parents will be able to determine whether or not the school is a good match in meeting their expectations, their student's individual learning style and learning needs, and in the best interests of both students and parents.

e. Choice Schools under NCLB

No newly established school, including charter schools, shall be considered for student assignment as a “choice school” pursuant to NCLB, until the school has met AYP for two consecutive years.118

f. Management and Operation

Charter schools must be administratively, managerially and fiscally sound, as well as accountable.

Approval of a charter school application entrusts public dollars with a chartering agency.129 The business/budget plan, as submitted, must be capable of on-going success and sustainable over time. The charter and meet its defined academic focus and vision for learning while remaining within its designated budget. The Knox County Board will give priority for application approval to charter schools with established and successful academic and fiscal records.

g. Facilities All charter school applicants must guarantee operation in facilities that meet or exceed Knox County Board standards. No charter school shall open unless, and until, the charter school’s facility had been evaluated for compliance with all applicable laws, including but not limited to ADA, fire, zoning, and other compliance standards.1310

h. Charter Schools are Independent

Knox County Schools administrators may provide technical assistance, if appropriate, to the Sponsor before or during the charter school application process. Charter Schools approved by the Knox County Board of Education are to operate independently in all areas, including but not limited to instruction, human resources, communication, administration, business, facilities and operations, transportation, food services, safety, and student discipline. After a Charter School is in operation, services provided by Knox County Schools personnel to charter schools shall be compensated as agreed to prior to the service being rendered.

i. Professional Environment Charter schools shall hire qualified personnel.1411 Charter schools are expected to have the capacity to provide appropriate and ongoing professional development to their staff based on student needs and sound educational pedagogy. Charter schools are to create new professional opportunities for teachers.1512 Charter schools are expected to promote a sense of professional community through sufficient opportunities, time, and resources that will build teacher knowledge and practice, expertise, collaboration, and reflection.

j. Discipline of Students Student discipline must be dealt with in a fair and constructive manner. Disciplinary procedures required by state and federal law, shall be followed. Although the State of Tennessee allows for corporal punishment, no charter school under the Knox County Board of Education shall employ corporal punishment.

k. Recognized (Consistent) Grade Level Configurations Charter school applications must maintain the same grade configurations as Knox County Schools, i.e., K-3, 4-5, K-5, 6-8, or 9-12. Proposals for charter schools that combine grade levels, i.e., K-3 and 4-5, or K-5 and 6-8, or 6-8 and 9-12, thus creating a K-8 or 6-12 school will be accepted. Proposals that split grade levels or combine grade levels into other configurations will not be approved.

l. Charter High Schools

Any charter high school must, at a minimum, meet Knox County Schools’ graduation requirements, and provide a curriculum to meet University of Tennessee, Tennessee Board of Regents, and NCAA requirements for Division I schools.

m. Southern Association of Colleges and Schools (SACS/CASI) Accreditation KCS requires that all charter schools that include high schools (grades 9-12) be SACS/CASI accredited. It is expected that the candidate school status for accreditation will be received during the first year of the charter school operation.

The Review Team may, but is not required to, interview the sponsor, governing body, and/or teachers of the proposed charter school during second review. The Review Team may, but is not required to, include in its recommendation to the Director of Schools the “score” derived from the use of the Tennessee Department of Education’s Scoring Criteria and Rubric.

First Reading



Newly Created Public Charter Schools

IL 9/11 Rescinds: Revised:

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 33 34 35 36 37 38 39 40

Charter schools should significantly benefit the students they serve and promote education reform and improvement within their adopted school model. This policy is to promote a fair and equitable process for sponsors seeking to newly create public charter schools within Knoxville and Knox County. I. The following principles and conditions will be considered in reviewing an application for a charter:

a. Student Population

All students within a charter school’s jurisdiction may apply for admission and attend the charter school.1 However, where space is a limiting factor, enrollment will be in compliance with Tennessee Law.2 . No charter agreement shall be granted for a private, parochial, cyber-based, or home-based school.3

Sponsors of public charter schools cannot be a for-profit entity, a private school, a religious school or church school, or promote the agenda of any religiously affiliated entity.4

b. Academic Achievement Charter schools must be committed to attaining a higher level of academic achievement than that realized in typical Knox County Schools in our system serving similar student populations. Charter schools must be committed to meeting or exceeding each of the Board’s academic and target goals, and must be focused on clear instructional goals that support rigorous, challenging learning for all students.

c. Commitment to Diversity and the Varied and Individual Needs of Students Charter schools must be accessible to and positioned to address the needs of all students, regardless of race, color, national-origin, religion, gender, proficiency in English, disability, or need for special education services.5

d. Reform and Innovation

Charter schools shall serve as model school programs that are markedly different than those already being offered within Knox County Schools. Charter schools must promote different and innovative teaching methods.6 Charter schools should support an environment and conditions in delivering public education not typically found in traditional public schools. Charter schools are expected to serve as model centers of reform and innovation from which educators, parents, and community members can learn new and promising instructional practices and methods that could ultimately be replicated. Charter schools should facilitate the active participation of all charter school constituents (administrators, board, sponsor(s), teachers, students, parents, and any others who might have a vested interest). While there is no prototypical charter school, approved charter schools shall provide parents and students

with a clear, meaningful alternative to high priority schools.7 The vision, mission, and operation of charter schools should be clear and focused such that parents will be able to determine whether or not the school is a good match in meeting their expectations, their student's individual learning style and learning needs, and in the best interests of both students and parents.

e. Choice Schools under NCLB

No newly established school, including charter schools, shall be considered for student assignment as a “choice school” pursuant to NCLB, until the school has met AYP for two consecutive years.8

f. Management and Operation

Charter schools must be administratively, managerially and fiscally sound, as well as accountable. Approval of a charter school application entrusts public dollars with a chartering agency.9 The business/budget plan, as submitted, must be capable of on-going success and sustainable over time. The charter and meet its defined academic focus and vision for learning while remaining within its designated budget. The Knox County Board will give priority for application approval to charter schools with established and successful academic and fiscal records.

g. Facilities All charter school applicants must guarantee operation in facilities that meet or exceed Knox County Board standards. No charter school shall open unless, and until, the charter school’s facility had been evaluated for compliance with all applicable laws, including but not limited to ADA, fire, zoning, and other compliance standards.10

h. Charter Schools are Independent

Knox County Schools administrators may provide technical assistance, if appropriate, to the Sponsor before or during the charter school application process. Charter Schools approved by the Knox County Board of Education are to operate independently in all areas, including but not limited to instruction, human resources, communication, administration, business, facilities and operations, transportation, food services, safety, and student discipline. After a Charter School is in operation, services provided by Knox County Schools personnel to charter schools shall be compensated as agreed to prior to the service being rendered.

i. Professional Environment Charter schools shall hire qualified personnel.11 Charter schools are expected to have the capacity to provide appropriate and ongoing professional development to their staff based on student needs and sound educational pedagogy. Charter schools are to create new professional opportunities for teachers.12 Charter schools are expected to promote a sense of professional community through sufficient opportunities, time, and resources that will build teacher knowledge and practice, expertise, collaboration, and reflection.

j. Discipline of Students Student discipline must be dealt with in a fair and constructive manner. Disciplinary procedures required by state and federal law, shall be followed. Although the State of Tennessee allows for corporal

punishment, no charter school under the Knox County Board of Education shall employ corporal punishment.

k. Recognized (Consistent) Grade Level Configurations Charter school applications must maintain the same grade configurations as Knox County Schools, i.e., K-3, 4-5, K-5, 6-8, or 9-12. Proposals for charter schools that combine grade levels, i.e., K-3 and 4-5, or K-5 and 6-8, or 6-8 and 9-12, thus creating a K-8 or 6-12 school will be accepted. Proposals that split grade levels or combine grade levels into other configurations will not be approved.

l. Charter High Schools Any charter high school must, at a minimum, meet Knox County Schools’ graduation requirements, and provide a curriculum to meet University of Tennessee, Tennessee Board of Regents, and NCAA requirements for Division I schools.

m. Southern Association of Colleges and Schools (SACS/CASI) Accreditation KCS requires that all charter schools that include high schools (grades 9-12) be SACS/CASI accredited. It is expected that the candidate school status for accreditation will be received during the first year of the charter school operation.

II. Application and Review Procedures

a. Applications Applicants must provide a letter of intent to submit a charter school application to the state department of education not later than August 1st of the year in which they intend to submit the charter school application.13 Applications must be submitted to the Knox County Board of Education, through the Board Administrative Secretary, on or before 4:30 p.m. on October 1st of the year proceeding the year in which the proposed public charter school plans to begin operation as a public charter school.14 Applications will be accepted only between September 1st and October 1st.

d. First Review of Complete Application The Review Team members shall independently review each charter school application and render recommendations to the review team chairperson. For each application, each Review Team member shall recommend that: the Review Team meets and has further discussion on the application; denial of the application; or, second review of the application. If the recommendation is that the application be denied, the recommendation should include objective reasons for denial. Based on the recommendations of review team members, the Executive Committee shall decide whether the Review Team: will meet to discuss the application further; will recommend denial of the application without further review; or, will further consider the application during the Second Review. If the Executive Team decides that the Review Team will meet to discuss the application further, the Review Team will meet to discuss the application before the Executive Committee determines whether it will recommend denial of the application without further review or further consider the application during Second Review. If the Executive Team decides to recommend denial of an application without further consideration, the Review Team Chairperson shall compile the Review Team members’ objective reasons for denial and shall render a written recommendation to the Director of Schools to deny the application based on the compiled objective reasons. If the Executive Team recommends that an application be further considered during Second Review, the review team shall continue as set forth in policy.

The Review Team may, but is not required to, interview the sponsor, governing body, and/or teachers of the proposed charter school during second review. The Review Team may, but is not required to, include in its recommendation to the Director of Schools the “score” derived from the use of the Tennessee Department of Education’s Scoring Criteria and Rubric.

Subject: Energy Conservation and Infrastructure Improvement Program– Amendment No 1 to Phase III-A

Dear Dr. McIntyre:

During the last few weeks, while going through the approval and signature process on therecently approved Phase III-A of the Energy Conservation and Infrastructure ImprovementProgram, Knox County Schools Maintenance & Operations has continued to work with Traneto ensure we maximized the available scope vs. guaranteed savings available within Phase III-A. To that end, we have been successful in modifying the scope of Phase III-A regardingSouth Doyle HS, Bearden CTE and West Hills Elementary schools; providing an enhancedscope and financial proposition.

In summary, the following changes to the Phase III-A agreement are proposed at this time:

1. Remove the installation of the well and related pumping and filtration equipment for thecooling tower make-up water at South Doyle HS. Although the annual utility savings issignificant, there are concerns related to the ongoing annual maintenance and upkeep ofthis system (sustainability).

2. Add the scope to address the aged and failing multi-zone HVAC equipment that servesthe second floor of Bearden CTE to the Phase III-A project. As designed by Trane, thisscope not only addresses the failing infrastructure and comfort related issues, it alsoprovides an additional $18,500 in guaranteed energy savings per year to the project.

3. Add the scope to address the aged and failing chiller at West Hills Elementary Schoolto the Phase III-A project. This scope provides for a replacement chiller with ice storageand variable flow on the chilled water loop; addressing failing infrastructure, comfortrelated issues and provides an additional $9,263 in guaranteed energy savings per yearto the project.

4. Please see the updated Exhibit B (Scope) section for details.

Financial Aspects:

The changes in scope to the existing agreement result the following:

1. Increases the contract value from $15,141,233 by $387,303 for revised total of$15,528,536.

Page 2 of 2

a. The additional funding will be provided by (1), a $110,000 cash contribution ofexisting PPU funds from Knox County Schools Maintenance (previouslyapproved and appropriated for the replacement of the A/C units at BeardenCTE) and (2), an additional $277,303 in financed funds (reviewed with JohnTroyer).

2. The annual guaranteed energy/utility savings increases by $29,418, providing therevenue needed to offset the higher cost.

a. This same savings provides an additional $186,356 in cumulative positive cashflow over the 15-year term as compared to the original proforma prior to“leveling”.

3. Please see the Financial section (proformas) for details.

In the following pages are:

Amendment No. 1, which requires approval and execution. Updated Financial Proformas – financial details Updated Exhibit A – schedule of values Updated Exhibit B – scope Updated Exhibit E – energy savings & guarantee documents

With your authorization, and the School Board’s vote of approval on October 5, 2011, andassuming the additional approval from the Knox County Commission in October, we canamend the existing agreement to include these scope changes and meet the originalcompletion dates of the Phase III-A agreement.

Thank you again and please let us know if you have any questions.

Section 4. IPMVP Methodology. Four (4) different methods may be utilized to measure andcalculate the Total Energy Savings: Option A – Partially Measured Retrofit Isolation and/or Stipulated;Option B – Retrofit Isolation; Option C – Whole Facility; and Option D – Calibrated Simulation. Eachmethod is in accordance with the International Performance Measurement and Verification Protocol(IPMVP). The four methods are generally described in Sections 5 through 8. The type and location ofenergy conservation measures (ECM) installed determine which measurement and calculation method toutilize.

Section 5. Option A. Partially Measured Retrofit Isolation. The verification techniques forOption A determine energy savings by measuring the capacity or efficiency of a system before and after aretrofit, and multiplying the difference by an agreed-upon or “stipulated” factor, such as hours of operationor load on the system. Careful review of ECM design and installation ensure that stipulated values fairlyrepresent the probable actual value. Specific M&V methodologies and stipulations are identified for eachsavings strategy are detailed in sub Exhibits E.1 through E.6.

Section 6. Option B. Retrofit Isolation. Verification techniques for Option B are designed forprojects where long-term continuous measurement of performance is desired. Under Option B, individualloads are continuously monitored to determine performance, and this measured performance is compared



Page 5 of 17

with a baseline to determine savings. Option B M&V techniques provide long-term persistence data onECM operation and performance. This data can be used to improve or optimize the operation of theequipment on a real-time basis, thereby improving the benefit of the retrofit. Option B also relies on thedirect measurement of affected end uses. Specific M&V methodologies for each savings strategy aredetailed in sub Exhibits E.1 through E.6

Section 7. Option C. Whole Facility. Verification techniques for Option C determine savings bystudying overall energy use in a facility and identifying the effects of energy projects from changes inoverall energy use patterns. This approach is intended for measurements of the whole-facility or specificmeter baseline energy use, and measurements of whole-facility or specific meter post-implementation(Post) energy use can be measured. The methodology to establish baseline and Post parameteridentification, modeling approach and baseline or model adjustments will be defined in the Section 18 ofthis Exhibit. Periodic inspections of baseline energy usage, operating practices, and facility andequipment, and meter measurements of the will be necessary to verify the on-going efficient operation ofthe equipment, systems, practices and facility, and saving attainment.

Except as otherwise provided, actual Total Energy Savings will be calculated for each month of eachGuarantee Year as the product of (a) “units of energy saved” (kWh, Therms, GJ, etc.) multiplied by (b)applicable Base Utility Rates.

Units of energy saved are computed by the “Metrix” software application. “Metrix” is an accountingsoftware application copyrighted by Abraxas Energy Services, Inc. Units of energy saved are calculatedby subtracting current period measured units of energy consumed from the adjusted Base Facility UtilityConsumption units of energy defined in Section 17, Table 8 Adjustments to the Base Facility UtilityConsumption units of energy are based on factors such as weather, occupancy, operating hours, etc., andchanges to the Base Conditions and operating practices as defined in Section 18).

Section 8. Option D. Calibrated Simulation. Option D is intended for energy retrofits wherecalibrated simulation of baseline energy use and calibrated simulations of post-installation energyconsumption are used to measure savings from the retrofit. Option D can involve measurements ofenergy use both before and after the retrofit for specific equipment/systems or whole-building data forcalibrating the simulation(s). Simulation routines must be demonstrated to adequately model actual energyperformance measured in the facility. This option usually requires considerable skill in calibratedsimulation. Specific M&V methodologies for each savings strategy are detailed in sub Exhibits E.1 throughE.6. Energy use simulation is calibrated with hourly or monthly utility billing data and/or end use metering.

Section 9. Operational Savings. Customer and Trane agree that, as a direct result of theServices, as of the Commencement Date, Customer shall have achieved no less than $62,977 in annualoperational cost savings (“Operational Savings”) for each Guarantee Year during the Guarantee Term.Customer and Trane worked together to identify and quantify the Operational Savings based upon pastand projected expenditure data provided by the Customer. Throughout the Guarantee Term, OperationalSavings for each Guarantee Year after the First Guarantee Year will be deemed by Customer and Traneto escalate at a rate of three percent (3%) per year; accordingly, the Operational Savings for eachGuarantee Year after the first Guarantee Year will be calculated by multiplying the immediately precedingGuarantee Year’s Operational Savings by one hundred and three percent (103%). The parties agree thatthe 3% escalation rate is a reasonable projection of inflation based on past inflation experience and theparties’ expectations. Customer and Trane worked together to identify and quantify Operational Savingsbased upon past and projected expenditure data provided by the Customer. Operational Savingsspecified herein are stipulated as fact, will not be measured, monitored or verified by Trane, and areconsidered satisfied effective on the Commencement Date. Operational Savings include the followingcategories (as applicable):

a. Direct Cost Avoidance. Reduction or elimination of existing or planned service contracts, andmaterial, supply, and labor expenditures;



Page 6 of 17

b Indirect Cost Avoidance. Customer valuation – including such items as re-deployed laborresources and reduction in overhead; and

c. Future Capital Cost Avoidance. Future replacement expenditures avoided as a result of newequipment installed;

Section 10. Total Energy Savings. Total Energy Savings shall be computed as specified in thisExhibit, including the sub-Exhibits. Two different types of energy savings may be achieved under thisAgreement: Energy Use Savings and Energy Rate Savings (hereinafter collectively referred to as "TotalEnergy Savings"). Total Energy Savings will be determined by adding the Energy Use Savings andEnergy Rate Savings for each Billing Period (as hereinafter defined), together with any Installation PeriodSavings. Utilizing energy related bills furnished by Customer pursuant hereto, Trane shall then determineTotal Energy Savings for each Billing Period and for each Guarantee Year when completed. Subject toSection 12 hereof, Trane will begin recording annual savings from and after the Commencement Date.

(a) Energy Use Savings are those energy savings achieved through reduction or shift in energyor demand use. Trane will calculate Energy Use Savings achieved at the Premises by subtracting energyconsumption and demand for the current Billing Period from Baseline energy consumption and demandfor the corresponding month as shown in Section 16, Table 8 and multiplying those savings by the currentutility rate unit cost or the Base Utility Rates as described herein, whichever is higher. The Energy UseSavings will be adjusted for weather, occupancy, utilization, and facility changes as described herein.

(b) Energy Rate Savings are those savings achieved through a reduction in fuel and/or electricityrates by one or more of the following means:

(i) Improved rate from local electric utility company, natural gas company, or fuel company;

(ii) Direct purchase of natural gas or electricity; and/or

(iii) Bulk purchase of fuel.



Page 7 of 17

Trane will calculate the Energy Rate Savings obtained for each Billing Period by multiplyingenergy consumption and demand for the current Billing Period by the energy rate reduction, as shown inthe Total Energy Savings Table 5, which is the amount by which the Base Utility Rate defined in Section15, exceeds the improved rate. There will be no Energy Rate Savings calculation unless an energy ratereduction has been achieved either directly or indirectly by Trane through one or more of the means listedabove in clauses (i) through (iii).

Section 12. Installation Period Savings. Energy Use Savings, as calculated in accordance withthe sub-Exhibits, will accrue as the Services progress during the installation period until theCommencement Date. As applicable, Trane will calculate and document these savings as they accrue inaccordance with the sub-Exhibit(s) (such savings hereinafter referred to as “Installation Period Savings”).

Section 13. Billing Period. The Billing Period is based on the time period between whenreadings are taken either electronically or manually by the utility or other designated agency. Utility billswill be prorated based on the number of days in the Billing Period month.

Section 14. Commencement Date and Guarantee Term. The "Commencement Date” shall bethe first calendar day of the month following the month in which the Date of Substantial Completion isscheduled to occur as indicated in Section 1.03 of the Agreement. The Guarantee shall begin as of the



Page 8 of 17

Commencement Date and, unless this Agreement shall terminate earlier, shall expire on the dayimmediately preceding the 15 year anniversary of the Commencement Date (hereinafter the “GuaranteeTerm”).

Section 15. Base Utility Rates. The Base Utility Rates are those utility rates that are used tocalculate the Monetary Value of Total Energy Savings and are the rates set forth below in tables in thisSection 15. The Base Utility Rates used to calculate Monetary Value of Total Energy Savings will be usedas the floor cost for the Guarantee Term and shall be the lowest rate used. In calculating any energysavings, Trane will use the greater of the then current applicable utility rate unit cost or the Base UtilityRates as described herein. The Base Utility Rates used to calculate energy increases will be used as theceiling price for the Guarantee Term and shall be the highest rate used. In calculating any reduction inenergy savings, Trane will use the lesser of the then current applicable utility rate unit cost or the BaseUtility Rates as described herein.

Section 18. Guarantee Reconciliation. Subject to Customer’s obligations to furnish the data andinformation required hereunder, within ninety (90) days after the final month of each Guarantee Year,Trane will determine the actual Total Energy Savings (the “Actual Savings”) as described in this Exhibitand the sub-Exhibits and report the same to Customer in a Reconciliation Report. Customer shall bedeemed to have accepted the determinations contained in the Reconciliation Report in the eventCustomer fails to object to the same within fourteen (14) calendar days after delivery of the ReconciliationReport to Customer. In the event the Actual Savings, together with any Installation Period Savings thathave not been previously applied against any shortfall in Total Energy Savings, are less than theGuarantee within thirty (30) days after delivery of the Reconciliation Report Trane will pay Customer thedifference between the Guarantee and the Actual Savings (credited by unapplied Installation PeriodSavings) for that Guarantee Year. Upon agreement of Trane and Customer, instead of payment, Tranemay provide services and/or product, equal to the value of the difference between the Guarantee and theActual Savings.

Section 19. Adjustments to Baseline. Trane may, at its sole discretion, make adjustments tothe Baseline using standard and sound engineering principles as follows:

a. Building Utilization: The total number of building occupants is a variable that may be adjusted forif the number of occupants differs from the Baseline quantity;

b. Building Occupancy Hours: The hours the building(s) is/are occupied and/or equipment and/orlighting is utilized is a variable which may be adjusted for if the hours (quantity or time-of-day)differs from the hours identified in this Exhibit E and its sub-Exhibits. Buildings that have Traneenergy management equipment will be monitored by Trane to verify hours of equipmentoperation. Buildings without energy management systems will have to have equipment operationlogged by Customer’s building staff as specified in Section 19, Customer Responsibilities, of thisExhibit E;

c. Weather: Utility bills will be adjusted for weather;

d. Building Changes: The Baseline may be adjusted to account for any building square footagechanges, remodeling, and addition of equipment or change in usage. Customer agrees to contactTrane within seven (7) calendar days of commencement of any changes or additions ofequipment or environments; and

e. Trane’s discretion, based on data or other information newly discovered or otherwise not readilyavailable at the time the Baseline was prepared; and/or

f. Failure of Customer to perform its obligations under Section 20 of this Exhibit E.

g. Baseline Adjustment: Any adjustment in the baseline model of the building created as part of theengineering study appropriate to represent operation of the building if it had been designed,constructed, and/or operated in accordance with local and national codes in place as of the dateof the Agreement. Such adjustments can include, but are not limited to, increased ventilationrates for code compliance and the addition of heating and/or air-conditioning to areas thatpreviously had no environment conditioning. The adjustments included in the engineering studyfor this project on account of such issues are estimated to result in an energy increase of1,559,715 kWh, an increase of 4,584 kW and an energy increase of 51,004 therms.

Section 20. Customer Responsibilities: Customer acknowledges that it has an integral role inachieving savings and agrees to perform the following responsibilities:

a. Properly maintain, repair, and replace all energy consuming equipment with equipment of equal orbetter energy and operational efficiencies and promptly notify Trane of the repair and /or

MEMORANDUM

To: Chair and Members


From: Dr. James P. McIntyre, Jr.

Superintendent

Date: September 29, 2011

Subject: STEM Academy Name Recommendation

My recommendation for the name of the new Knox County STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering

and Math) Magnet High School is the L&N STEM Academy.

This recommendation is the result of an extensive process of public comment that included

students, teachers, parents and members of the greater Knox County community. The

administration of the STEM school began compiling name suggestions from students, faculty,

and parents beginning with the 2011 spring open houses and continuing through September 5th

with the conclusion of a countywide public comment period. More than 100 distinct suggestions

were submitted that covered a broad range of possibilities.

At the end of the public comment period, the school’s administrators established a committee of

four parents, four students, four teachers, and the school’s administrators to review the

suggestions. The committee first agreed to three criteria to follow in assessing suggested names.

It determined that any name should: relate to the school's mission, be historically significant, and

be regionally relevant.


The committee narrowed the suggested names to three that met the established criteria and then

sent an electronic survey to all our students, staff, and parents. Additionally, students were

offered more opportunity for discussion of potential names during their advisory classes. From

this process, a consensus was reached to recommend that the school be named the L&N STEM

Academy.

Also, as a result of faculty and nominating committee discussion, the administration of the

STEM academy recommends, and I endorse, the following designations for specific areas or

buildings on the campus in recognition of various significant contributions to the development of

the STEM academy:

1. The depot building to be named the ProVision Health Alliance STEM Depot in

recognition of that organization’s commitment to a significant, on-going, and multi-

faceted partnership with the STEM Academy. In addition to considerable financial

support, the ProVision partnership will provide opportunities for students of the STEM

Academy to broaden their horizons and to intern with professionals in the field to

enhance the students’ educational experience.

2. The commons and veranda area to be named Haslam Commons in recognition of the

significant professional and personal contributions made by several members of the

Haslam family. In addition to Haslam family members’ significant personal efforts

and contributions supporting the STEM Academy, Governor Bill Haslam, while

serving as Mayor of Knoxville, was instrumental in securing the historic location for

the school, which will provide students ease of access to other educational institutions

and community facilities that will enhance the students’ STEM experience.

3. The physics/STEM lab to be named the Governor Phillip N. Bredesen, Jr. Laboratory

in recognition of the support to public education demonstrated by Governor Bredesen,

his personal commitment to STEM education, and his instrumental role in securing

Federal Race to the Top funding for the creation of the STEM Academy and STEM

programs across the State of Tennessee.


4. The chemistry lab to be named the B&W Y12 Chemistry Laboratory in recognition of

their significant support for the STEM Academy and their commitment to an on-going

partnership with the school. Like the ProVision partnership, the B&W-Y12

partnership will be a cornerstone of the community partnership model embraced by the

high school. As a valuable regional STEM leader, B&W-Y12 will continue to work

with us to explore ways to broaden our partnership to enhance students’ educational

experience over the long term.

The creation of the STEM academy over the last year was an enormous undertaking that would

not have been possible without the support of our entire community, and the specific and

generous contributions and long term commitments of individuals and organizations across the

community. This has been a true collaboration among many private and public entities, and the

benefits to our children will continue to accrue for years to come.

I respectfully request that you approve this recommendation. Please let me know if you have any

questions.

Source: Knoxville-Knox County Metropolitan Planning CommissionNotes:According to the 2010 Census, under the current County Commission and School Board district lines, 327,070 people or 75.7% of Knox County’s 432,226 residents live in the same School Board and Commission District (e.g. District 1 School Board and District 1 Commission, District 2 School Board and District 2 Commission, etc). The Knox County Redistricting Committee has considered the possibility of using a common set of district lines for both bodies which would result in 100% of the County’s population residing in the same Commission and School Board district. In the event that the two bodies were not able to reach agreement on coincident boundaries, an analysis was performed to determine the number of people that would reside in the same Commission and School Board District under the various plans developed for the Committee’s consideration. This table reports the total population residing in the same Commission and School District, as well as the percentage of the County’s total population that would be in alignment.

RESOLUTION

A RESOLUTION OF THE KNOX COUNTY BOARD OF EDUCATION OF KNOX COUNTY, TENNESSEE, SUPPORTING ACCOUNTABILITY IN PUBLIC EDUCATION RESOLUTION: REQUESTED BY: INDYA KINCANNON PREPARED BY: APPROVED AS TO FORM AND CORRECTNESS: DIRECTOR OF LAW APPROVED: DATE VETOED: DATE VETO OVERRIDE: DATE MINUTE BOOK PAGE WHEREAS, the Knox County Board of Education is responsible for providing a local system of public education; and WHEREAS, there is pending legislation before the Tennessee General Assembly that would create a voucher program allowing students to use public education funds to pay for private school tuition; and WHEREAS, more than 50 years have passed since private school vouchers were first proposed, and during that time proponents have spent millions of dollars attempting to convince the public and lawmakers of the concept’s efficacy, and yet, five decades later, vouchers still remain controversial, unproven and unpopular; and

WHEREAS, the Constitution of the State of Tennessee requires that the Tennessee General Assembly “provide for the maintenance, support and eligibility standards of a system of free public schools”, with no mention of the maintenance or support of private schools; and WHEREAS, the State of Tennessee, through work of the Tennessee General Assembly, the Tennessee Department of Education, the State Board of Education and local school boards, has established nationally recognized standards and measures for accountability in public education; and WHEREAS, vouchers eliminate public accountability by channeling tax dollars into private schools that do not face state-approved academic standards, do not make budgets public, do not adhere to open meetings and records laws, do not publicly report on student achievement, and do not face the public accountability requirements contained in major federal laws, including special education; and WHEREAS, vouchers have not been effective at improving student achievement or closing the achievement gap, with the most credible research finding little or no difference in voucher and public school students’ performance; and WHEREAS, vouchers leave many students behind, including those with the greatest needs, because vouchers channel tax dollars into private schools that are not required to accept all students, nor offer the special services they may need; and WHEREAS, vouchers give choices to private schools, not students and parents, since private schools decide if they want to accept vouchers, how many and which students they want to admit, and the potentially arbitrary reasons for which they might later dismiss a student ; and WHEREAS, voucher programs divert critical dollars and commitment from public schools to pay private school tuition for a few students, including many who already attend private schools; and

WHEREAS, vouchers are an inefficient use of taxpayer money because they compel taxpayers to support two school systems: one public and one private, the latter of which is not accountable to all the taxpayers supporting it; and

NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED BY THE KNOX COUNTY BOARD OF EDUCATION AS

FOLLOWS: The Knox County Board of Education opposes any legislation or other similar effort to create a

voucher program in Tennessee that would divert money intended for public education to private schools.

BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that a copy of this Resolution should be delivered to the Governor,

the Lt. Governor, the Speaker of the House, each member of the Knox County legislative delegation, each member of the Senate Education Committee and to each member of the House Education Committee.

BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that this Resolution is to take effect on October __, 2011, the public

welfare requiring it.

A RESOLUTION OF THE KNOX COUNTY

RESOLUTION

BOARD OF EDUCATION OF KNOX COUNTY, TENNESSEE, SUPPORTING THE TEACHER EDUCATION ACCELERATION MODEL (TEAM)

RESOLUTION:

REQUESTED BY: Thomas Deakins

PREPARED BY: Dr. James P. McIntyre, Jr.

APPROVED AS TO FORM AND CORRECTNESS:

DIRECTOR OF LAW

APPROVED:

WHEREAS, the Tennessee General Assembly adopted the Tennessee First to the Top Act of 2010, which required an annual performance evaluation of every teacher every year, with 50% of the evaluation deriving from student academic outcomes, and

WHEREAS, the law required the creation of a Teacher Evaluation Advisory Committee (TEAC) that included broad representation, including several teachers, which was to develop an instrument and protocol for evaluation of educators, and

WHEREAS, the TEAC recommended, and the Tennessee Board of Education adopted the model now known as the Tennessee Educator Acceleration Model (TEAM), and

WHEREAS, the TEAM evaluation process is a comprehensive and rigorous teacher evaluation system that is based on the TAP System (formerly the Teacher Advancement Program) which has been a successful instructional improvement and school reform structure here in Knoxville and across the country, and

WHEREAS, meeting significantly higher academic standards in the state of Tennessee will require an intensive effort of instructional enhancement, which will be facilitated and supported by the TEAM evaluation system, and

WHEREAS, the new TEAM evaluation system will be used primarily as a developmental tool to assist our teachers in continuous improvement of instruction that will ultimately benefit student learning,

NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED BY THE KNOX COUNTY BOARD OF EDUCATION AS FOLLOWS:

The Board of Education of Knox County embraces and supports the TEAM performance evaluation system as a critical instructional improvement effort, and an important strategy in meeting our ambitious goal of Excellence for All Children.

BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Knox County Board of Education recognizes that the TEAM model may be adjusted and refined over time to maximize its positive impact, but that implementation should continue for the 2011-12 school year so that our teachers and students will begin to benefit from the new evaluation system as soon as possible.

BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that a copy of this resolution shall be distributed to the Governor, the leadership and membership of the Tennessee General Assembly and the Tennessee School Boards Association.

BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that this Resolution is to take effect on October , 2011, the public welfare requiring it.
