CIS Board of Education meeting 16 Jul 2018 -- REPORT By Calen McKinney Campbellsville Independent Schools will begin its new school year on Wednesday, Aug. 8, and preparations are underway. Board of Education members discussed the beginning of the 2018-2019 school year at their regular meeting on Monday, July 16, 2018. To help students prepare for the year, Board members voted to contribute $2,500 to the Site-Based Decision Making Councils at Campbellsville middle and high schools. The money will be earmarked to pay for school supplies. SBDM members will work with Campbellsville Family Resource and Youth Services Center employees to coordinate purchasing supplies. During last month's meeting, CIS Superintendent Kirby Smith announced that Campbellsville Elementary School students will receive their supplies for free this coming school year, to be paid for with CES SBDM funds. At that meeting, Board members expressed interested in also helping CMS and CHS students with their supplies. CMS students are given supply lists, though Smith said the materials required are less than what has been asked for in previous years. There are no general supply lists at CHS, though students will be told what they need during their first day of classes. School supply lists for CMS students be found online at www.cville.kyschools.us. Superintendent's Report In his monthly report to the Board, Smith said the District's buildings and grounds are being prepared for the new school year, and are all in good shape. Smith told Board members that work is continuing on the concession stand and ticket booth at the CES campus, and workers are almost ready to install fences and plant grass. He said the Board office was damaged during a recent storm, and repairs are being made. CHS recently received results from Advanced Placement exams students took toward the end of the last school year. Of the 143 students who took exams, 21 passed with a score of 3 or higher, which will award them college credit for the courses. Overall, Smith said, 49 percent of students taking the exams scored a 2 or higher, which is quite an achievement. Smith said he and the principals at CES, CMS and CHS are working to have vendors at upcoming open house events to provide the Hepatitis A vaccination, which is now required for all students to attend public school. The District will host a Party in the Park on Monday, Aug. 6, from 6 to 8 p.m., Smith said. There will be free food, games and t-shirts. Students and their parents can attend to have fun and fellowship with teachers and other staff members. Academic Spotlight Sue Crabtree, Family Resource and Youth Services Center director, spoke to Board members about her years of experience working for the center. The center was opened in 1993, she said, and recently completed its 25th year of service to the District. Crabtree, who will retire next month, said she began working for FRYSC as an advocate. She discussed her memories of the school-age daycare program Eagles Nest, helping students and their families with clothing and teaching parenting classes. Crabtree said last school year's FRYSC literacy tutors were very successful in helping students raise their MAP scores. About 90 percent of students who worked with the tutors saw increases. She said she recently applied for the FRYSC office to be reconfigured as a Family Resource office and separate Youth Services Center, which she believes will provide more services for students and parents. She said she hopes to hear soon as to whether the application has been approved. Also at the Meeting: - Board members approved a Big Picture Learning contract with CHS, at a cost of $2,117. - A contract was approved for the grandstand/press box project at CES. - Board members had final approval of the 2018-2019 updates to the Kentucky School Boards Association policies. - A FRYSC AmeriCorps agreement was approved, which will provide two tutors to help students with reading skills. - A United Way funding application was approved, which Smith said will allow the District to apply for money to pay for clothing and school supplies for students in need. - An occupational therapy services contract with Green County Board of Education was approved. - District assurances for federal and state funding were approved for 2018-2019. - Fidelity bonds were approved for the District's finance officer, accounts payable, principals, bookkeepers and tax collector were approved for 2018-2019. - The Code of Acceptable Behavior and Discipline Handbook for 2018-2019 was adopted. - Revisions were approved to the 2018-2019 salary schedule. - Food bids for the 2018-2019 school year were approved. - ARC and Section 504 chair persons were named. They include school principals, assistant principals and guidance counselors. - Finance Director Chris Kidwell presented the District's financial report for June. Revenue was $887,089.66 and expenses were $1,753,273.69. The closing balance at the end of June was $3,116,776.77. - Kidwell said the 2017-2018 fiscal year ended with a little more than $2 million to carry forward, which is about the same as in past years. About $330,000 remains in the District's construction fund, which can be used for future projects, he said. Maintenance and building costs increased last fiscal year, Kidwell said, but the District completed several projects, such as roof repairs at CMS and CHS, installation of fences at the CMS/CHS campus, upgrades to the CHS baseball field, the installation of security cameras at the CES and CMS/CHS campuses and more. This month's personnel report includes: - New Employee - Misty Matney, adult education instructor. - Resigned Employees - Kayla Bale, CES teacher; Jessica Newton, CHS guidance clerk, Kathy England, CMS softball coach; Ashley Goodin, CHS girls' golf coach; and Jeff Richardson, CHS fishing coach. - Retired Employee - Jeff Richardson, director of food service, federal programs and pupil personnel. - Additional Duties - Jessica Floyd, CHS choir sponsor; Chris Kidwell, CMS and CHS archery coach; David Mardis, custodian manager; and Blake Milby, CHS boys' and girls' golf coach. - Transfers - Tommy Allen, CHS head custodian; Vickie Brock and B.J. Perkins, cook/baker; and David Petett, director of food service and federal programs. - Board members met in closed session for about an hour to discuss personnel. No action was taken. - The Board will meet again on Monday, Aug. 13, 2018 at 6pmET at the Board office. The meeting is open to the public. This story was posted on 2018-07-19 00:39:55
