social studies and science. Day will be paired with Health &
Wellness training for all all elem staff and the middle/high school

In Feb 2014, new CAPSTONE for the Arts was announced for Barren
County. Additional dialogue with WKU was held in spring about AG
Capstone & ways to enhance program that has struggled as of late.
BAVEL is exploring DUAL CREDIT opportunities across the state for
access of virtual students in other parts of state.
BCMS and BCHS are fortunate to have the services of guidance
counselors earmarked to work with ECE students. These counselors
assist with ARC meetings, ILP development, and transition needs.
This year, the counselor at the HS and one of our school
psychologists met each month with senior ECE students to further
discuss career opportunities and transition needs. Guest speakers
were utilized as a part of the meetings.
BCHS staff have studied and plan to implement a period in the day to
allow for further ILP develop, student advisement, and RtI to address
any student needs.
Additional ILP training has occurred at secondary level. New
amended ILP process (ILP-A) for students who are going to
alternative school settings. Staff have had initial training on process
to be implemented in 2014-15.
During the course of the year, teachers identify needed
accommodations for various tests, based on IEP accommodations,
and identify staff to administer the accommodations to individual
students. Staff are then trained using the Inclusion Regulation
Assessment Training Regulation from KDE.
Additional STEM opportunities have been implemented at elementary,
middle and high school levels. Summer learning opportunities have
focused on STEM through 21st CCLC.
http://www.barren.kyschools.us/districtNewsArticle.aspx?artID=42990;
additional aspects of the Project Lead the Way program will
considered and studied for possible implementation.
The ECE staff held a very successful "Parent Meet" opportunity on
October 19, 2013. A variety of topics relevant to parents were
included to include assistive technology, Strategies for students with
autism, Related services, understanding the IEP and testimonials
from parents and other service providers.

Technology resource teachers and other support personnel roles are
being restructured to continue current work and to enhance all
aspects of teaching and learning.
District committee was formed to study available programs and
determine maximum benefits for the most students/programs. In
April, committee recommended Edgenuity be implemented. In May
2014 Board approved contract allowing all students in grades 6-12 at
all campuses to access on-line curriculum. PD for implementation is
planned for May 20, 2014, with follow-up planned for summer.
School & district implementation team is being formed in order to best
established program.
Every school in the district, with the exception of BCHS, implements
and has been a part of KyCID. Training by KyCID staff, as well as
district staff, in PBIS strategies has been on going for several years.
Updates are provided to staff annually.
This districtwide program allowed students to use the 95210
challenge as a way to earn tickets for a monthly drawing, and the
school wellness committee members met in a district wide committee
to plan activities for the students in addition to professional
development provided by A Healthier Generation. Promotional signs
and materials have been posted in each school. Some schools had a
family nights focused on this wellness plan in addition to districtwide
celebrations of National School Lunch Week, National Breakfast
Week, and Every Kid Healthy Week. During National School Lunch
Week, Dr. Phillip Bale spoke on the importance of sleep to 300
community members and high school students.
2013-14 was a pilot year for PGES so partially implemented in pilot
schools. Full implementation will begin in 2014-15.
Red Cross, Park City & North Jackson - have implemented Leader In
Me; Eastern Elem is scheduled for implementation in 2014-15.
Grants have been sought to implement district-wide but have not been
awarded. District student council is implemented across district.
Elementary Magnet program has helped implement Leadership
further (Austin Tracy Leadership program). Ambassadors have been
utilized at high school level.
By schedule, GALLUP was not completed in 2013-14. Consideration
will be given for 14-15 - however with additional surveys for PGES,
this activity may be changed to only use of Student Voice Survey
provided by state.
Activity continues from plan to plan; district support is aligned to
school annually.
Discussion and research continue; PD 360 was utilized with success
in Spring 2014 with staff hired after first of year & those needing
additional hours.
New CEP has been developed and approved by Board of Education.
KDE has plan for review/approval. After KDE returns plan and
adjustments will be made. Summer training is being planned for
principals and school staff to be able to fully implement the plan in
2014-15.
