The Impetus for CIITS Senate Bill 1 (2009) laid out an
aggressive plan to transform education in Kentucky – Unbridled Learning• new more rigorous standards• new assessments• assessment literacy for educators• new accountability system
Designed to better prepare students for life after high school and to compete globally
College/career-readiness for ALL
3
The Impetus for CIITS In 2010, Kentucky wrote what would
be the first of three Race to the Top Applications seeking funding to transform our education system by focusing on four key areas• New core academic standards with aligned
assessments• New data systems to support educators• New teacher and leader effectiveness
systems• New systems of support for the lowest
performing schools
4
The Impetus for CIITS The concept of CIITS in all three
applications was described by Commissioner Holliday in Kentucky’s first oral presentation of its plan to the U.S. Department of Education and later affirmed by the Teacher Effectiveness Steering Committee:
“CIITS will connect standards, electronically stored instructional resources, curriculum, formative assessments, instruction, professional learning and evaluation of teachers and principals in one place, thereby improving instructional outcomes, teacher effectiveness and leadership.”

ASSIST – Challenges
Stakeholders tell us that ASSIST:• The tool is not always user-friendly.• CSIPs/CDIPs are too cumbersome because you can’t
print just your “plan” (Executive summary, title page, etc…).
• Consolidated Monitoring requires districts to upload too much information into ASSIST before the review.
• Superintendents are frustrated about having to upload SPGES assurances in ASSIST.
24
“Will we still have to?”If KDE decides to abandon CIITS, it doesn’t mean abandoning legal requirements: PGES – All the requirements of 704 KAR
3:370 will still have to be met. CSIP/CDIP – Each school and district must
complete a CSIP or CDIP per 703 KAR 5:225. KCAS – The Kentucky Core Academic
Standards (704 KAR 3:303) are still in place and expectations of teaching and assessing those standards in each classroom are still an expectation.
25
The Decision
Should KDE continue to provide a statewide solution for continuous improvement (IMS, EDS, ASSIST, PD360) for the 2015-16 SY?
ORShould KDE abandon the statewide solution and allow districts to pursue local options?
26
Next StepsIn the coming days:
• Look for a district online survey on CIITS via e-mail. • Only (1) response is needed per district. • The survey will be sent to the superintendent.• How information is gathered to determine a
district’s response is a local decision. Gathering feedback is up to the local superintendent.
27
Gathering Input on the DecisionOptions for superintendents to consider:•Share the content of the survey with district and
building leaders.•Share the content of the survey with technology
leaders.•Share the content of the survey with teacher groups. •Examine your current district usage for the various
components vs. a conversation on the value from the feedback listed above.
28
Gathering Input on the Decision Options:•After gathering feedback, discuss your district’s capacity to offer equivalent services.•Discuss the district’s financial and human resource (time) impact regarding the options. •Remember, state level buying power vs. local is hard to compare.•Other considerations?
29
Where can I find more information on my district’s usage?
• ASSIST - All districts and schools upload their Improvement Plans in ASSIST each year.
• IMS• EDS• PD360http://education.ky.gov/districts/tech/ciits/Pages/CIITS-Metrics-and-Reports.aspx

Statewide Testing and Accountability
(Opting out is not an option.)
38
39
Kentucky’s accountability model is all-inclusive.
It depends on testing every student.
Full inclusion ensures that all schools and districts are serving all students and that gaps in categories of students are identified, addressed, and closed.
Statewide Testing and Accountability
40
Students may only be excused from statewide assessments upon completion and approval of the Nonparticipation Form (i.e., Medical or Extraordinary Circumstances).
Your District Assessment Coordinator works with KDE’s Office of Assessment and Accountability when these forms are appropriate.
Statewide Testing and Accountability
41
In Kentucky, districts are not permitted to honor a parent’s request to opt-out of Kentucky Core Academic Standards or statewide testing.
Although parents have the right to opt their children out of public education by choosing home school or private school, parents do NOT have the right to pick and choose the provisions of public education with which they will comply.
Opting Out of Testing Is Not An Option
42
Senate Bill 1 (2009) mandated common standards by Kentucky Board of Education (KBE) authority.
In 1997, the Kentucky Court of Appeals affirmed the KBE’s authority to require all students in public schools to participate in standardized assessments. The Court held that this requirement does not violate students’ rights. Triplett v. Livingston County Board of Education, 967 S.W.2d 25 (Ky. App. 1997).
Legal Authority Supporting Standards and Statewide Assessment
43
Kentucky statute KRS 158.6453 and regulation 703 KAR 5:140 ensure the accountability system and the data produced are faithful to these inclusive goals.
Section 183 of the Kentucky Constitution and Rose vs. Council for Better Education (Ky. Supreme Court, 1990) require an “efficient system of common schools”.
Legal Authority Supporting Standards and Statewide Assessment
44
FERPA does not prohibit transmission of testing data from the local school to the Kentucky Department of Education.
KDE requires testing vendors to follow security standards to protect student-level data. Appropriate secure file transfer sites also are used to protect privacy.
Data Security
45
Districts should be prepared to explain testing requirements to parents and the importance of consistent academic standards.
Districts are encouraged to review their policies and communicate to parents the consequences for students’ failure to participate in mandatory state assessments. Students who do not participate in the statewide
accountability system will receive a “0” score, which will be included in the school’s accountability calculation.

ESEA Waiver Renewal
47
48
USED has granted Kentucky a four-year ESEA waiver renewal through the 2018-19 school year.
The renewal enables our state to continue use of one accountability system for both federal and state purposes.
It continues our use of a continuous improvement model rather than labeling most schools as failing under NCLB.
The final approved version of the waiver can be accessed at: http://education.ky.gov/comm/UL/Documents/Final%20Kentucky%204-year%20ESEA%20waiver%20march%2013%202015%20with%20changes%20accepted.pdf.

SB 119 (Senator Adams) Requires the Department of Education to develop child abuse
and neglect prevention, recognition, and reporting training for office staff, instructional assistants, and coaches and extracurricular sponsors who are employed by the school district. Establishes a 90-day completion timeline for newly hired individuals.
Also, SB 119 adds the calendar relief language for inclement weather that was adopted in 2014 Regular Session HB 211.
2015 Regular Session – Highlights of Enacted Legislation
51
SB 192 (Senator Hornback) Provides numerous changes to statutes related to heroin treatment. This includes
provisions for school employees to administer naloxone. Includes that a school employee authorized to administer medication under KRS
156.502 may: Receive a prescription for the drug naloxone; Possess naloxone and any equipment needed for its administration; and Administer naloxone to an individual suffering from an apparent opiate-related
overdose. The board of each local public school district and the governing body of each
private and parochial school or school district may permit a school to keep naloxone on the premises and regulate the administration of naloxone to any individual suffering from an apparent opiate-related overdose.
The Kentucky Department for Public Health must develop clinical protocols to address supplies of naloxone kept by schools and to advise on the clinical administration of naloxone.
2015 Regular Session – Highlights of Enacted Legislation
52
SB 201 (Senator Higdon) Ensures that tuition charged to a student who is
allowed to enroll in a primary school program before meeting the age requirement is the same as the tuition charged to a student who meets the age requirement.
Clarifies that students enrolled before meeting the age requirement are required to be included in the school's average daily attendance for purposes of SEEK funding.
2015 Regular Session – Highlights of Enacted Legislation
53
HB 248 (Representative Marzian) This “Emergency Allergy Treatment” legislation provides definitions and
protocols for administering emergency allergy medication. "Authorized entity" is defined to mean an entity that may at any time have
allergens present that are capable of causing a severe allergic reaction and has an individual who holds a certificate on the premises or officially associated with the entity. This includes schools.
A health-care practitioner may prescribe epinephrine auto-injectors in the name of an authorized entity or to a certified individual for use.
A pharmacist may dispense epinephrine auto-injectors pursuant to a prescription issued in the name of an authorized entity or to a certified individual.
2015 Regular Session – Highlights of Enacted Legislation
54
HB 510 (Representative Rand) Amends the 2014-16 executive branch biennial budget. It provides that if
the General Fund appropriation is not sufficient to fully fund the SEEK Program, including any adjustments for growth in fiscal year 2014-15, KDE may request up to $10,000,000 in fiscal year 2014-15, which must be deemed a necessary government expense and must be paid from the General Fund Surplus Account or the Budget Reserve Trust Fund Account.
Appropriates additional funds from the June 2014 settlement agreement related to the Tobacco Master Settlement Agreement. Kentucky received $110.4 million from the resolution and appropriated $10.5 million to the Early Childhood Development Fund.
