Ginger Gray, Kenton County School District Food Director, has been named the Outstanding Director of

plates. The cafeterias have salad bars in all high schools and have added salad bars to two elementary
schools and use whole grain breads and pasta. Fresh fruit is a choice everyday at breakfast and lunch and
the staff does a lot of scratch cooking. It was under Ms. Gray’s expertise that the Dixie Heights student café
was opened. Ginger, congratulations on this well deserved honor!
WHAT OUTSTANDING WORK AWARD
John “Doc” Fleissner, Simon Kenton High School Building Operations Support
Nominated by a colleague
I would like to nominate John “Doc” Fleissner for a WOW Award. Doc will retire this year after many
years of dedicated service as a bus driver and custodian for the Kenton County School District. Doc greets
students and staff each day with a big smile and the latest information about Nascar and his favorite drivers
Matt Kenseth and Carl Edwards. Congratulations on your well deserved retirement!
Malissa Eaves, Summit View Middle School Teacher
Nominated by a parent
Mrs. Eaves has been a wonderful addition to my daughter’s education. I feel at ease when sending her off
to school when she is not feeling well. Mrs. Eaves smile, tone of voice, and understanding has helped us a
great deal. My daughter really needs to learn coping skills as her medical condition is chronic. Mrs. Eaves
is trying very hard to help her succeed. I would like for you to know how grateful I am to have someone
like Mrs. Eaves advocating for my daughter.
Diane Cook, Insurance Benefits Coordinator
Nominated by a colleague
My husband lost his job last month. Diane was very helpful and supportive as we looked at insurance
issues for my family. I felt so relieved after meeting with her as she assured me that we were going to be
okay. I know that Diane is very busy, but she took the time out of her day to stop and help me during my
difficult time. Thank you very much! Diane is a wonderful asset to the Kenton County School District and
exemplifies what it means to be a resource at the district level. When I went on maternity leave and had
numerous questions regarding taking unpaid days, maintaining my insurance, and retirement, she was
extremely informative and patient in assisting me with understanding my options. Diane was not only
professional, but very caring as well. She made a stressful situation much easier to handle, and I am
appreciative for everything Diane did!
Stephenie Pence, Instructional Assistant, Simon Kenton High School
Nominated by a colleague
Stephenie just recently rejoined our unit and has already proved herself to be indispensible. She jumped
back in and started attending classes with our students, adapting their lessons appropriately and promoting
success. She has a very good relationship with all our students while maintaining a fair discipline standard.
We are very glad Stephenie is back in our unit and hopes she stays at Simon Kenton for a long time. Our
classroom is lucky to have her as part of our team.
Jessica Hamilton, Instructional Assistant, Simon Kenton High School
Nominated by a colleague
Jessica has worked and been a part of our Special Education unit for the past three years. She accompanies
students to classes and makes all appropriate modifications to the core content material so that our students
will understand and maintain the most important parts of the lessons. She continually prepares in advance
for her classes so she is aware of the content and is ready with appropriate assignments. She gives our
students compassion and support when they need it and is kind and caring to each and every one of them.
Jessica is a huge asset to our unit and we and Simon Kenton are lucky to have her as part of the team
Debbie Hurley, Instructional Assistant, Simon Kenton High School
Nominated by a colleague
Debbie Hurley joined our unit at Simon Kenton High School only this year but has already made a
significant impact in our unit and with the students. From working at Twenhofel, she knew some of the
students and she easily became to know the newer ones. As part of her job, she was required to go to high
school core content classes for the first time. She quickly became familiar with the curriculum and made
appropriate modifications and adaptations to the lessons to better serve our students. These
accommodations made the work easier and more accessible for them, which also promoted success in their
studies. Debbie has also established a good rapport with all our students while maintaining good discipline.
I feel very fortunate to have Debbie working in our unit. I hope she stays at Simon Kenton for a long time
to come.
Lauren White, Woodland Middle School Teacher
Nominated by a colleague
For several reasons Lauren needs to be recognized. She is such a great team member to work with! When
they say, "There is no 'I' in team" Lauren takes that to heart. She has always been the first to take on the
responsibilities and needs of the team. Sometimes I wonder how there is enough time in the day to do
some of the things she has taken on, but she always pulls through and never acts as if it were a
bother. Another reason I would like to recognize Lauren is for her yearly dedication to making Pennies for
Patients a great success at Woodland. Taking on a fundraiser by yourself requires a great deal of time and
persistence. She does a great job of delivering the life story of real people who have suffered from
leukemia, as well as how each student can make such a big difference. This year Woodland raised nearly
$3000 with the help of Lauren's motivational speech, competitive incentives and regular announcement
updates. She goes the extra mile by allowing classes to set their own goals and counting class totals
separate to keep the kids excited. I appreciate Lauren's commitment to Pennies for Patients because I think
it is a great way to teach kids how they can give back and make a difference in someone else's life!
Katie Graham, James A. Caywood Elementary Teacher
Nominated by a colleague
Katie is an incredible coworker and academic team coach. When I unexpectedly began my maternity leave
early, she was ready and willing to help my long-term sub make preparations for the classroom and to
answer any questions. Without a doubt, this benefitted student learning and helped make the transition
easier. Furthermore, Katie took over all academic team duties: preparing team members for competition
and cheering them on at Governor’s Cup. Her patience and enthusiasm are unsurpassed, as well as,
appreciated. I am so lucky to have her as a teaching partner, and she certainly is an asset to the Kenton
County School District!
Rhonda Ashbrook, Bus Monitor on Bus#76
Nominated by a colleague
Rhonda never ceases to amaze me with the work she does with special needs. She always knows what to
say or do when a child is having a bad day or needs direction. She is a great person to work with every day.
Rhonda goes above and beyond the call of duty. Please help me honor and thank her for a job more than
well done.
Emily Kuhn, Taylor Mill Elementary Teacher
Nominated by colleagues
This is Emily’s first year back in a regular classroom after several years as a reading specialist. She has
collaborated and contributed many new ideas and brought her expertise in remedial reading and counseling
to add to our second grade curriculum. Emily has been a great addition to our second grade family.

C. Reconsideration of Instructional Materials
River Ridge Elementary received a written request for Reconsideration of Instructional
Materials on February 1, 2010. As per board policy 08.2322, the principal submitted
Reconsideration of Instructional Materials to the SBDM Council. A Reconsideration
Committee was appointed as an ad hoc committee and included a school administrator, a
community representative, a high school student, the school media specialist, and the Executive
Director of Elementary Education and Federal Programs. The committee was provided the
challenged material to review and examine independently prior to the committee meeting to
review the written complaint.
The Reconsideration Committee met on February 26, 2010 to review the complaint, determine
the merit of the complaint, and prepare a recommendation for the disposition of the complaint.
The committee determined:
 The video contained mature content for a student in kindergarten or first grade.
 The video was 60 minutes in length and the committee felt this was not developmentally
appropriate for kindergarten/first grade students.
 The video contained some loud and abrupt transitions.
 The committee did not find the content of the video to be offensive or inappropriate for
most audiences.
The Reconsideration Committee’s recommendation to SBDM Council was that the video would
be appropriate to be shown to student in grades 2-5, and it was recommended that teachers
preview all videos before showing to students.
The recommendation was submitted to SBDM Council on March 11, 2010. The council
approved the recommendation and revised the existing Video Policy.
The principal of River Ridge Elementary shared this process and the outcome of the complaint
procedure with all Kenton County principals at the April 1, 2010 Principals Meeting.
D. Energy Usage Report
Enc. 5
It was another tough month for gas usage. Our district wide gas usage was up 21% again this
month. The good news is our district wide electric consumption was down by 15.7% and our
overall energy usage was down by 2%.
We used 321,845 kWh less than our baseline which is a reduction of over 482,000 lbs of
CO2. This is the equivalent to removing 32 cars from the roads or planting 65 acres of trees.
Congratulations to this month’s winners:
Simon Kenton H.S. – 14.7%
Twenhofel Middle – 24.3%
Ryland Heights Elementary – 49.2%

H. Investing in Innovation (i3) Grant Application
The Kenton County School District will be working to submit a U.S. DOE Office of Innovation and
Improvement Grant. The grant application will be for a Development grant addressing Absolute
Priority #1 Innovations that Support Effective Teachers and Principals. The Professional Practices
Rubric will be used to measure effective teaching while analyzing assessment data monitoring
increased student achievement. Kenton County is partnering with Northern Kentucky University and
Pacific Institute for Research and Evaluation will be partnering with Kenton County focusing on
professional development, evaluation and analysis of data. Kenton County School District qualifies
to apply for $5,000,000 over 3 – 5 years to implement an innovative program to support effective
teachers and principals resulting in increased student achievement. The submission deadline for
proposals is May 11, 2010. Awards will be made in September 2010.
Recommendation: It is recommended that the board approve this grant application.
I. SEMP Grant
KSBA has presented an RFP to school districts for the School Energy Managers Project
(SEMP). This grant provides opportunity for school districts in the Commonwealth to hire and/or
share an Energy Manager. The grant reimburses up to 75% or $41,250 of an Energy Manager’s salary
and fringe benefits for year one (July 1, 2010 – June 30, 2011) and up to 50% or $22,900 in year two
(July 1, 2011 to April 30, 2012). Because Kenton County already employs a full time Energy
Systems Coordinator, we are not eligible for funding for an Energy Manager. However, we are
eligible to receive the same amount of funding for an Energy Curriculum Coordinator. Kenton
County would work with all of the Northern Kentucky School Districts collaboratively to apply for
this grant as a region. This will allow us to work together to share best practices and ideas for energy
management.
Recommendation: It is recommended that Board approve Kenton County’s participation in
applying for a collaborative grant with other Northern Kentucky School Districts.
V.
DISCUSSION AND ACTION
1. District Procedures
The district currently has a contract with the Kentucky School Board Association to review policy changes
to ensure compliance with legislative mandates. However, we do not currently have a contract regarding
district procedures.
The Kentucky School Board Association has prepared a draft of proposed administrative procedures for
every Kenton County Board policy. During the summer months and into the next school year, Cabinet
members will be charged with working with their departments to update or develop procedures. The date
of implementation for new or updated procedures would be scheduled for the 2011-2012 school year.
To ensure consistency and compliance, district personnel would like to enter into a contract with the
Kentucky School Board Association to develop appropriate Administrative Procedures that will support the
district policies at the following costs:
2009-2010 $4750 (invoiced on delivery of 1st. draft)
2010-2011 $2500 plus annual update fee of $750 + $25 copy/postage fee per manual
2011-2012 $2500 plus annual update fee of $750 + $25 copy/postage fee per manual
Following completion of the procedures, an updating/maintenance charge (currently $1050 plus $25 per
manual maintained) shall be invoiced annually, as long as the Board chooses to continue membership in
that service.
Recommendation: It is recommended that Board approve the request to work with the Kentucky
School Board Association to align procedures to support district policy at the cost listed above.

4. Request for monetary Support of Transportation cost – District All Star Middle School Chorus
The District All Star Middle School Chorus in comprised of our highest performing district choral students

the students are receiving a discounted rate on their room and competition events. Each student will be
paying $140.00 for their trip expenses. To assist each student, the transportation cost of the Travel
America Bus in the amount of 2509.00 is requested of the board.

approved field trip.
5. Slam Dunk Sports Marketing

6. Hybrid Buses
The Kenton County School District received the Kentucky Department of Education’s Hybrid Bus Grant
Award. We have been approved for the purchase of 2 International Corporation Hybrid Buses. The grant
will be used to offset the cost of the hybrid portion of the bus. We will be responsible for the purchase

permission to move forward with purchasing the two hybrid buses we have received funding to offset the

statements for the same fee as charged in 2008-09. The quoted fee for the audit is $20,000. Bertke &
Sparks has extensive experience performing school board audits. The firm has been very professional,
courteous, and instructive during the course of their previous audit work for the Board. In addition, their
KCBE audit reports have been clear of any deficiencies after review by the Kentucky Department of
Education’s Division of Finance.
Recommendation: It is recommended that the Board approve Bertke & Sparks, Inc. CPA as the
auditor for the 2009-2010 financial statements.
8. Purchase of Mobile Classroom Units for Ft. Wright Elementary School and
R. C. Hinsdale Elementary School
In addition to the mobiles to be relocated from Turkey Foot to Ryland Elementary School and the Success
Academy by previous Board approval, enrollment projections for the 2010-2011 school year indicate the
necessity for mobile classrooms to be located at Ft. Wright Elementary School and R. C. Hinsdale also.
Tri-State Buildings, the vendor who has the contract for the relocation of the other two mobiles this
summer and the successful bidder on several previous installations, has offered two used mobiles in good
condition. The installation of a new mobile verses a used mobile is essentially the same; however, there is a
savings of approximately $23,000 each between the used and the new unit. The mobiles are offered totally
installed at a cost of $79,575 for the Ft. Wright Mobile and $82,910 for the R. C. Hinsdale Mobile. The
difference in the price of the two is due to the installation on a more difficult terrain at Hinsdale.
Tri-State Buildings is an approved vendor by the KEDC purchasing cooperative; therefore, the sealed bid
process is not required.
Recommendation: It is recommended that the Kenton County Board of Education approve the
purchase and installation of one mobile unit with two classrooms each at Ft. Wright Elementary
School and R. C. Hinsdale Elementary School at a total cost of $162,485.00.
