Team members apply their creativity to solve problems that range from building mechanical devices to presenting their own interpretation of literary classics. Over 700 teams from almost all U.S. states and around the world will be competing at World Finals. Advancing to the World Finals at the University of Maryland from May 27 – 30, 2011 are teams from Fort Wright Elementary, Simon Kenton High School, two teams from Turkey Foot Middle, and four from Dixie Heights. Dixie also has one team competing in Poland right now. A senior scholarship award has been awarded to Sarah Keene from Simon Kenton High. Good luck students at World Finals. KENTUCKY PTA PRINCIPAL AND CLASSIFIED OF THE YEAR The Kentucky PTA has honored Pat Goetz, Kenton Elementary Principal, as the Principal of the Year and Jerry Ferguson, as the Classified Personnel of the Year. Pat was selected for this honor based on her involvement in all PTA activities. Not only is she a member of PTA but participates in every PTA event. Jerry goes above and beyond for students and PTA. In addition to his duties as Building Operations Supervisor, he serves as the Fort Wright Odyssey of the Mind Coach. Jerry’s principal wrote in his nomination, “Jerry is a team player and loved by all.” This statewide recognition for Pat and Jerry is well deserved. Congratulations Pat and Jerry on this great honor. WHAT OUTSTANDING WORK AWARD Dwayne Humphrey, Teacher at Turkey Foot Middle School Nominated by colleagues As the Activities Director for Turkey Foot, Dwayne has consistently gone above and beyond expectations to motivate and encourage all students and to create an opportunity for everyone to be involved in and to be excited about school. He works extremely hard to make every program he is involved in a great program for the kids and a testament to the district, as shown by the incredible science fair, the remarkable improvement in the math counts program, and the hugely successful intramural soccer program. After working with Dwayne on both math counts and soccer, we continue to be impressed by professionalism, genuineness, and strength of character. He exemplifies what a WOW award should represent. Carey Wolking, Teacher at Taylor Mill Elementary Nominated by parents Coming into the public school system last year from a private kindergarten we did not know what to expect at Taylor Mill Elementary. However, when our son was placed in first grade with Mrs. Wolking, we found out what an honor and blessing we had received having her as our son’s teacher. She has a top-notch teaching method that brings out enjoyment for learning within her students. She promotes the students academically by giving them the support they need, while allowing them to feel comfortable raising their hand even when they may not have the right answer. Thank you Mrs. Wolking for making a WOW difference in a young boy’s life and being that special teacher who has a caring heart for learning. Linda Kelley and Lauri Hackman Director of Psychological Services and Guidance Counselor Nominated by a colleague Linda and Lauri offer such guidance to the crisis team. They offer exceptional leadership and organizational skills to the team. They are the reason the team is successful at all times.

Consent Agenda A. Approval of Minutes: Board Meeting –April 4, 2011 Enc. 5 B. Monthly Bills Enc. 6 C. Emergency Substitute Teacher “Blanket Approval” The State Department no longer needs to approve emergency substitute teacher application provided the Board of Education approves a “blanket” approval for that position. Staff would still ensure that applicants meet the requirements for the position and would also ensure that emergency substitute teachers will be hired only when regularly certificated and substitute certificated individuals are not available. This new “blanket” approval eliminates paperwork and expedites the hiring process. Like all other personnel, the names of emergency substitute teachers will appear on the Board agenda following the date of hire.

Capital Outlay Funds Request Enc. 14 The General Assembly gave latitude to school districts to pay for general operating expenses out of the Capital Outlay Fund if the funds were not required for servicing debt. The net effect is that General Fund balances may be increased. In preparation for an uncertain funding picture for next year, we are recommending that the entire Capital Outlay Allotment of $1,315,767 be utilized for the items listed on the attached KDE request form. Building Fund revenues will service 100% of the 2010-11 debt requirements. Recommendation: It is recommended that the Board of Education approve the KDE Capital Funds Request Form. 12. Revised Job Descriptions Enc. 15 The job descriptions for Assistant Director of Special Education, Special Education Lead Teacher, and Due Process Coordinator have been revised to reflect current district, state and federal policies and procedures.

Enrollment forms for 2011-2012 Enc. 16 The enrollment form for 2011-2012 is being submitted for board approval. The changes recommended include a box put around the race ethnicity coding so that it stands out more. Additionally, minor changes have been made in the wording for transportation to make it easier for guardians to answer. In addition to the new student enrollment form, we are also requesting that the second form, a pre-filled form from the student information system, be allowed in place of student enrollment forms for students that are currently attending. Parents will be able to change information and send back to the school. This form will make it easier for families and easier for school employees to process. We continue to review options and will hopefully be able to automate the process even more for the future. Recommendation: It is recommended that the board approve the 2011-2012 Enrollment Forms. 14. Master Schedule Summary Enc. 17 The master schedule summary of instructional time for the 2011/12 school year includes the days and total instructional time.

Secondary School Activities Coordinator Enc. 18 The position of Middle School Activities Coordinator was added last year to address the needs in the middle schools with students who have been involved in elementary activities.
