POLICY COUNCIL MEETING DATE
SOURCE COMMUNICATION
11/15/2017 OHS The Office of Head Start released the newest version of the grant application instructions. A one-page summary of major changes is attached. The EHS/HS management team participated in a webinar on 11/29/17 to learn about the new application process.
11/29/2017 Governor's Office of Student Achievement (GOSA)
The Governor’s Office of Student Achievement (GOSA) selected Clarke County School District Office of Early Learning as one of its FY18 Innovation Fund implementation grant award winners. The award totals $669,000 for a 2.5 year budget period. Funds will be utilized to implement a collective impact framework for entrenching culturally responsive trauma informed school based approaches to positively impact affective root causes of low achievement in language and literacy for Head Start and Pre-K children, and their families, at the district’s Early Learning Center to support three and four year old children with complex trauma.
Summary of Changes for the Head Start Grant Application Instructions with Guidance, Version 3
The major changes implemented in Version 3 of the application instructions are listed below:
• Updated to better align with the new Head Start Program Performance Standards (HSPPS). • A greater focus on questions that highlight flexibility in the program’s approach. • Removed or modified questions that lead to responses that simply restate the standards. • Helpful links and guidance added throughout the instructions. • Added the Annual Report to the Public, the Cost Allocation Plan, and Selection Criteria as
documents to upload electronically. • Added a special instruction for budget periods of less than 6 months that reduces the burden of
what is required in the narrative. • Added a special instruction for supporting documentation and community assessment. A program
must summarize critical information from supporting documentation into the narrative. Further, programs are no longer expected to summarize their entire community assessment, but rather focus on the findings that informed the proposed program design and approach to service delivery.
• Instead of five sections in the application instructions, there are now only three. o The section on School Readiness Goals has been integrated into existing sections on
Program Goals and Service Delivery. o The section on Parent, Family, and Community Engagement has been integrated into the
section on Service Delivery. • There are significant changes to the program goals section. The program goals section now aligns
with 1302.102 and a TA series is being revised to support these changes (Foundations for Excellence: Five-Year Planning and Continuous Improvement, 2nd Edition). The section on program goals includes a template to assist programs in organizing their goals and objectives throughout the project period. Two versions of the template are available to download in HSES, and programs can upload their selected template into the Documents tab of each year’s application. The use of either template is optional.
• The Budget Section is better aligned to object class categories reported in the Budget Tab of HSES. • In Continuation Applications, a grantee must describe the rationale for any changes to their
program design such as those resulting from an updated community assessment, ongoing oversight, or from using data for continuous improvement as described in 1302.102(b)-(c).
Reminder: Grantees with a June annual funding month and application due March 1, 2018 must use Version 3 of the instructions. Use of Version 3 is optional for grantees with earlier due dates.

FFA Camp Code of Conduct/Medical Release This is the Code of Conduct/Medical Form for the FFA Camp where we will be staying. This document also includes the protocols for the weekend (on pg. 3)
Date for Consideration: Jan 26-Jan 27, 2018
Strategic Goal: Strategic Goal #3 – Strengthen neighborhood schools through strong collaborations with parent, district, and community members to support student academic growth, socio-emotional development, and physical well-being.
Objective: Performance Objective A: Expand communication that builds parent and community partners in supporting learning and achievement.
Background – Agriculture educators are required by the AG ED State Staff to meet 36 standards throughout the school year. This conference helps us to meet standard number 35: The teacher will participate with students in one or more of the following FFA Leadership activities: Area Awards Banquet, Middle School Day at the Fair, Discovery Conference, National FFA Convention. Georgia FFA Summer Leadership Camp, Region Rally. All FFA members will be eligible to participate in the trip. However, I will be limited to the number of students I can take based on the FFA Camp capacity. I will create a sign-up sheet for interested students, and distribute information to the students on that list.
BOARD OF EDUCATION
1. The field trip itinerary; Attached 2. Cost associated with the trip (cost per student); The trip will cost $45.00 per student. 3. Fundraising activity (if any); sell plants, or repot plants for future sale 4. Alternative payment plans for students who can not afford to pay for the trip; students may choose a 3-
payment plan or fundraise 5. Alignment of the trip experience to the district's curricular mission; The mission of this trip is to provide the
students with leadership initiatives that they can bring back to school with them, and to allow them to further connect with FFA members
6. Security or safety protocol for the trip; 7. Number of chaperones, the number of chaperones who are staff vs. number of chaperones who are parents,
and the overall chaperone to student ratio. I will be chaperoning no more than 10-15 students, and I expect to have no more than 2 parent chaperones.
Highlights –
This conference is directed specifically toward middle school students, so it is perfect for their stage of social-emotional development. The FFA is an excellent organization to introduce students to if they need a little assistance breaking out of their shells.
Strengths Challenges
This conference is an excellent opportunity for FFA Members to bond, grow as leaders, and expand their social-emotional skills.
With these trips, there is always the barrier of cost. We sell plants throughout the year, and rely on FFA Alumni fundraising to ease that burden.
Recommendation – It is the recommendation of the Administration that the Board of Education approve Coile Middle School, BHL Middle School, Clarke Middle SChool and Hilsman Middle School Overnight Discovery Conference in Covington, Georgia.
Action Steps: Step 1: Board Approval Step 2: Distribute information Step 3: Collect money or create payment plans Step 4: Register and submit payment
Timeline: I will introduce this event to students at the December FFA Meeting (week of Dec. 11th). The registration will be due right after Christmas break. Around the second week of January I will distribute permission slips and packing lists.

3. Fundraising activity (if any); N/A
4. Alternative payment plans for students who can not afford to pay for the trip; Myself and several teachers have offered to assist if students are struggling to have funds for the trip. We are currently looking into sponsors. All students that have requested to attend have the funds to attend.
5. Alignment of the trip experience to the district's curricular mission; The curricular mission of the CCSD is to provide authentic experiences that are critical for academic and developmental growth. Students gain information, knowledge, and a support network related to their future as a healthcare professional. They will be exposed to professionalism in future career and workplace settings, including proper professional dress and leadership.
6. Security or safety protocol for the trip:
Security is provided by the hotel, and members of the Atlanta Police Department are always on site. HOSA (International) also has a large number of Staff and Chaperones to assist in all activities. Safety Protocols also include No student goes anywhere alone. There are to be a min of two, with me it is normally three in a group~ even for Bathroom. There is also a curfew of 1130. Students are not to be outside their rooms after curfew or they will be sent home immediately. Any violation of Rules of Conduct (signed by students and parents prior to the trip) will be grounds for immediate return to home, and Parents are to come pick up said student. HOSA International has the highest Insurance of any CTSO. Our students perform activities at times that require them to demonstrate CPR, Patient care and even Vet Science activities. They require us to maintain high expectations and standards for our students in classroom and any participation at any HOSA Events.
7. Number of chaperones, the number of chaperones who are staff vs. number of chaperones who are parents, and the overall chaperone to student ratio: Staff to high school student is 1 to 10 (myself) I expect approximately ten students to participate. I have arranged for another teacher to accompany us if we have a large number of students attending. No parents are attending at this time. If parents attend, they are required to adhere to the same fees and dress code.
Highlights –
This event allows students to compete in health science related fields, observe other competitors, gain knowledge for the upcoming competition: HOSA Internationals in June 2018 in Houston. Texas! The inspirational speakers are always a top highlight! To network with other like minded students desiring a future career in Healthcare. To attend The Bodies exhibit to put real life organs and bodies into perspective for understanding. To attend a tour of Emory Medical School, as a future perspective student.
Strengths Challenges
HOSA is the only International CTSO in the country at this time. The students will gain strengths by: * Attending leadership training sessions, increasing self esteem *Network with like minded students with a goal of having a healthcare profession as their future career * Learning to be culturally diverse in their collaborations with other like minded students * Gain confidence with presentations, networking, competing in health science related issues. * Learn and participate in proper business and professional attire ~Required for attending all sessions at any HOSA Conference Professional attire Suits & Ties/ Blazers/ slacks or skirts~ for most all Competitions ~Increased Knowledge of their future profession by preparing for future competitions and networking Get inspiration from motivational speakers! __________________________ Teachers~ networking, updates on Instruction, Curriculum and HOSA updates
The challenge for this trip are this event has a lot of students who are first time participants in competitions and attending events in the professional dress code. The leadership training and competing will be new for them. It will be a great learning experience.
Recommendation – It is the recommendation of the Administration that the Board of Education approve HOSA Annual Fall Leadership Conference & Competition in Atlanta, Georgia.

BOARD OF EDUCATION
Highlights – Identify the benefit for students Students will be able to develop a deeper understanding of the interdependence of life through participation in this project and field experience. The field trip experience will be the culminating activity of our classroom and team partnership with Trout Unlimited and the University of Georgia’s Warnell School of Forestry. Students have worked in a partnership with those organizations beginning in August to raise rainbow trout from eggs and will release them into a Department of Natural Resources approved stream in North Georgia. Trout are an important species to study and showcase interdependence of life, a key standard and concept in 7th grade Life Science. Trout can survive and thrive when their aquatic habitat is healthy; therefore, safe and healthy for humans as well.
Strengths Challenges
We will travel to the Blue Ridge Outdoor Education Center in Toccoa. The students will learn about aquatic ecosystems, deciduous forest ecosystems, predator/prey relationships, and release our classroom-raised Rainbow Trout into a mountain stream. For more information, please visit these websites: http://www.blueridgeoec.com/ and http://www.troutintheclassroom.org/. Students will be able to develop a deeper understanding of the interdependence of life through participation in this project and field experience.
The weather on the field trip dates may not be favorable. We will adjust the activities based on the weather conditions over the 2 day period. The availability of the one extended bus for the district does play a role in when field trips can be taken.

All service pricing listed is per month and per unit.
Pricing is for managed Internet access service at specified speeds including all required ENA
equipment.
All service delivery prices (including optional services) are based on expected site readiness to
receive the services including conduit, electrical capacity, backer board, and similar. In the event
that site walk-outs determine a need for site make ready work, service may not be available
until such work is completed by the customer.
There are currently no governmental fees applicable to the broadband services requested.
However, if such fees become applicable in the future, governmental fees (to the extent the
customer is not exempt from such fees) including state, local, and federal taxes, fees, USF, E911
taxes/fees, and similar are in addition to the above rates. These fees will be charged at the
applicable rates set by governmental entities and are subject to change over the life of the
service contract.
ENA broadband services are subject to ENA’s acceptable use policy.
ENA will notify the customer once the carrier installs the circuit, and ENA is ready to turn up
service. ENA will work with the customer to determine a mutually agreed upon date to turn up
service. In the event of customer delays in turning up service, ENA reserves the right to start
billing the customer for the service two weeks after ENA’s notification that service is ready to be
turned up.
ENA’s managed Internet access service is priced as one service including circuit, end site router,
equipment maintenance, service monitoring, field support, and Service Level Objectives (SLOs).
Additional required taxes, if applicable, will be charged according to the province or territory to
which the service is delivered.
ENA has provided additional information on DDoS Protection within this proposal response. If
interested in inquiring about pricing, ENA will price this on an individual case basis based on
CCSD’s needs.
