Bylaw Revision Approval The Finance Committee agreed with their revisions and will forward the Bylaws to the Policy Committee for its review. Treasurer Updates Jennifer Wagner, Treasurer/CFO Monthly and Year-to-Date Revenue and Expenditures Mrs. Wagner reiterated that due to needed clerical and system modifications, she requested that January 2016 Reports be presented with the February 2016 Reports, in March 2016. She updated the Committee on the following: General Fund: Revenues: Year-to-date totals $589.2M. This includes the Schoolwide pool transfer correction $188.2 that was intended to reverse a transfer journal entry in February 2016 that was booked at the wrong value.

Segment 2a was completed in 2004 and Segment 2b was completed in 2006. Those segments are now ready to be closed out and the District agrees with the State Auditors audit of CPS’ Project Construction Funds (Fund 10).

a resolution at the Board’s March 21, 2016 Regular meeting.

Mr. Moerhing advised that he negotiated with Mount Auburn International Academy and they agreed to be in sync with the districts’ “bell schedules.” The Catholic Archdiocese has instructed their schools to also be in line with CPS’ school start times. The change will occur at the beginning of school year 2016-2017. Negotiations are taking place with First Student and Peterman.

Group and Voluntary Life Insurance Paul Mcdole, Jr. Director of Human Resources

Mr. Mcdole updated the Committee on the District’s Life Insurance due to the expiration of the current policy.

His written report was as follows:

Current Situation: The Board currently pays Basic Life and AD&D Insurance for approximately 3,000 eligible employees. The approximate annual cost is $172,560. The current Board paid life, Board paid AD&D and employee paid voluntary life insurance is currently up for renewal. The current vendor, Standard Life Insurance is proposing a 2 year rate guarantee for all lines of coverage. For the Board paid Basic Life there will be an increase from .11 per $1,000 to .13 per $1,000. The AD&D rate will remain the same at a cost of .015 per $1,000 and the employee paid voluntary rates will remain the same as well. Recommendation: Based on the above information, the recommendation of the Benefits Committee is to enter into a new contract for the Basic Life, AD&D and Voluntary Life Insurance with AXA Equitable Life Insurance Company. This change will result in a savings to the Cincinnati Public School district of approximately $41,414 over the next 3 years.

ACTION: The Committee agreed with Mr. Mcdole’s recommendation to enter into a contract with Basic Life, AD&D and Voluntary Life Insurance with AXA Equitable Life Insurance Company. The Committee will recommend approval of AXA to the Board at their March 21, 2016 Regular meeting.

Dusty Rhodes office in the form of a possible resolution.

REPORT OF THE COMMITTEE OF THE WHOLE The Committee of the Whole (COW) met on Wednesday, March 16, 2016, at 11:30 AM at the Cincinnati Public Schools (CPS) Education Center in Conference Room 1-A. Magnet Enrollment Update Pat Neal-Miller, Director, Family and Community Engagement Mrs. Neal-Miller updated the Committee on feedback that was received from Town Hall meetings centered on Magnet Enrollment. The report included:

• Strategies that were used to conduct the meetings. • Updates on the demographics of parents who were in attendance at the Town Hall meetings. • Various communication methods that were used to allow parents to participate in the meetings. • Survey results on how parents felt about the current Magnet Enrollment process. • Data on parents preferred programming choices

The following are common themes that came out of the meetings: • First come - first serve isn’t fair. • Everyone can’t stand in line overnight. • Online lottery application is more equal. • Digital divide is still a major concern. • ESL population will require one-on-one assistance to complete the online application process. • Most participants did not know about the online lottery application process. • Perception in the community is that magnet schools are for a select few. • School choice is often decided after family experience (welcoming front office, questions

answered in a timely manner, etc.) • All schools should be high quality. • Neighborhood Schools should provide more ESL services so families don’t have to flood

one or two schools. • More clarity is needed around school options.

The following was suggested from meeting about Weighting:

• Sibling Priority • Neighborhood Priority (mixed emotions) • Tour • Required Parent Meeting with Principal or School Staff

March 21 160 2016

REPORT OF THE COMMITTEE OF THE WHOLE (cont.)

The following was suggested from the meeting for New Program Enhancements

• Zoology • Creative Writing • Aviation • Horticulture

The full report is available in the Board office The Committee advised to also have Town Hall meetings around Preschool. Assignment: Board Member Hoffman will assign the Family and Community Engagement Department and Public Affairs,

at the March 21, 2016 Regular Board meeting to do a communication plan on to make sure that families and the community are made aware as to when and where Magnet Enrollment conversations are taking place at the Administrative and Board level. She would also like to see a communication plan on the results of the conversations from the Magnet Engagements.

The plan will also include Board Member Bates request to integrate the timing when information is sent out about Magnet Enrollment.

Assignment: Board member Daniel Minera will assign the Administration at the March 21, 2016 Regular Board meeting to

provide feedback on issues that parents bring up with secretaries in the front offices at the schools.

Mr. Minera will advise the Administration to get feedback from Leadership Scholars on input that they receive from the many parents that they service and data that they provide to school Principals. Feedback should also be gathered from the District’s community partners.

Board Member Bolton advised to combine the Magnet school sign-up with the Neighborhood schools sign-up and to use the Neighborhood Community Councils as the District unveils the changes in the Neighborhood schools. New Magnet Enrollment Policy Policy Committee Chair Elisa Hoffman facilitated and dialogued with the Committee about language to include in the new policy. The goal is to have the policy approved to go into effect for school year 2016-2017. The conversation was focused on the Board continuing with the lottery process and what items will be weighted in that policy and how preschool will play a part in the lottery process. The Board agreed that the lottery was the most equitable way for enrollment and parametesr will need to be set to ensure equity. Board member Bates informed the group that there are legal implications when using the lottery process. She advised that this was based on the Civil Rights Act of 1964, and a decision that was made in a case in Toledo, Ohio. The Committee discussed the following questions in the following areas:

March 21 161 2016

REPORT OF THE COMMITTEE OF THE WHOLE (cont.)

Weight Conditions Lower Income Families The Committee expressed concern on how income data would be collected and how incomes would be determined before consideration of a Weight. They also discussed if lower income families and lower performing schools would get additional Weights. Assistant Superintendent Bill Myles will do research to determine what can and cannot be done as it relates to adding Weights to incomes. By Neighborhoods The Committee discussed if weights should be given to areas where parents would drive pass a magnet school that is in the area of a Neighborhood school. School Tours Board members expressed concern about requiring parents to tour schools. The Board felt that favoritism may be given to certain parents and that this would be an additional layer for enrollment that could possibly be an inconvenience to parents. The Board also agreed that communication efforts are currently in place that outlines the workings of the schools. The Board will learn more about Universal Choice and discuss if there is a need for a Magnet Enrollment Policy. Assignment: The Administration will be assigned to provide data on parents that took tours of the schools after enrolling in

the lottery. The Policy Committee will review the Board’s questions and recommendations for the Magnet Policy at their March 21, 2016 meeting. The Board will look at reviewing a Universal Enrollment Policy. The meeting adjourned at 1:02 PM. Mrs. Copeland-Dansby moved that the Report of the Committee of the Whole be accepted.
