FOR

CRIME PREVENTION MONTH

Wuunrns, the vitality of Anderson County depends on how safe we keep our homes,

neighborhoods, schools, workplaces, and communities;

WnnRn.q,s, crime and fear of crimb destroy our trust in others and in civic institutions,

threatening the community's health, prosperity, and quality of life;' ' l

Wnnnsas, people of all ages must be made aware of what they can do to prevent themselves

and their families, neighbors, and coworkers from being harmed by crime;

Wunnnls, people of all ages must be made aware of the dangers of crime and how they can

protect themselves from becoming victims;

WHBng.q,s, the personal injury, financial loss, and community deterioration resulting from

crime are intolerable and require invesfinent from the whole community;

WnBRgns, crime prevention initiatives must include self-protection and security, but they

must go beyond these to promote collaborative efforts to make neighborhoods

safer for all ages and to develop positive opportunities for young people;

WHsRres, adults must invest time, resources, and policy support in effective prevention andintervention strategies for youth and adults must make sure to engage teens inprograms to drive crime from their communities;

Wunnnlsn effective crime prevention programs succeed because of parbrerships with lawenforcement, other government agencies, civic groups, schools, faithcommunities, businesses, and individuals as they help to nuture communalresponsibility and instill pride;

Now, TunREFoRE, we, Sheriff Paul White and the Anderson County Board of Commissioners,do hereby proclaim October 2013 as Crime Prevention Monthrin Anderson County, Tennessee,and urge all citizens, government agencies, public and private institutions, and businesses toinvest in the power ofprevention and work together to make Anderson County a safer, stronger,

MEMORANDUM TO: County Commission Members Mrs. Terry Frank, County Mayor Mr. Chris Phillips, Finance Director

FROM: Larry M. Foster, Director of Schools DATE: October 21, 2013 RE: Report to County Commission Listed below are informational items that may be of interest to you. The September 2013 board minutes are attached for review. BOARD CHAIR ELECTED The Anderson County Board of Education reconvened on Monday, October 7, 2013 to elect a board chairman. The statute states that a board chairman be elected in September each year. Dr. John Burrell was elected board chairman for the 2013-2014 school year and Greg Crawford was re-elected vice-chairman. TSBA FALL DISTRICT MEETING Our board of education recently attended the Tennessee School Board Association (TSBA) Fall District Meeting in Jefferson City at the Jefferson County School District. An update was given on anticipated bills that will come to the General Assembly in 2014. School vouchers and charter schools will once again appear during the session according to Lee Herrell, TSBA Director of Government Relations, Labor Relations, and Policy. At the meeting, school board members were recognized for achievement in levels of boardsmanship. There are five levels that a board member can achieve and these awards are earned by participating in training activities sponsored by TSBA. Anderson County board members were represented by Steve Fritts and Scott Gillenwaters, Level 1; and Glenda Langenberg, Level 4. The board will participate in TSBA’s Leadership Conference in Nashville November 8 – 11, 2013. The conference is designed to apprise board members of educational issues and updates from the State Department of Education and gain best practices in education from other school districts.

FARM DAY Our third grade students recently traveled to the Anderson County fairgrounds to participate in Farm Day where they learned about textiles, nutrition and food sources. Farm Day is a partnership with the Farm Bureau, Cattlemen’s Association and the UT Extension Service pays for all costs including student transportation. This event is a valuable experience for both staff members and students. DUAL ENROLLMENT I attended a meeting at Roane State Community College regarding dual enrollment, which means students are earning college credit. Our two high schools have done well in offering dual enrollment classes. Currently this fall we have 97 ACHS students, 23 ACCTC students and 114 CHS students enrolled in dual credit classes. I commend our high school principals for their leadership and raising the bar for our students. Please see the attached chart listing other schools. The cost of one three-credit hour class is $462.00. The dual enrollment grant provides $300. This is the lottery portion and Roane State Community College Scholarship pays the balance of $162.00. Therefore, our student’s only responsibility is for their books. SAILS Program Another program that we are participating in is the SAILS (Seamless Alignment and Integrated Learning Support) program. This program introduces the college developmental math curriculum in the high school senior year. This math class (called Bridge Math) prepares students for college math without having to take remedial math in the first year of college. These students are exposed to a support system that helps them overcome deficiencies they might have in math. Ultimately, students attending college save time and money by not having to take remedial math. ACCREDITATION Anderson County Schools (ACS) is currently engaged in an ongoing continuous improvement process to be reaccredited by Advanc-ED (formerly known as SACS- Southern Association of Colleges and Schools). This process requires the system to do an internal review of all activities structured around five standards of educational quality. The internal review involves not only self-assessment, but close scrutiny of student achievement data, and stakeholder survey results. This system accreditation is pivotal to leveraging improvement across the entire system from the central office, to schools, to the classroom. After submitting documentation supporting self-determined scores in the internal process, an external review team will visit ACS January 26-29, 2014. This team will be composed of highly trained evaluators, half of whom will be from Tennessee and the remainder from out of state. Prior to the visit, the evaluators will examine supportive evidence submitted by the system and determine areas where they wish to learn more information. During the three day visit the evaluation team will conduct interviews across the system and with community stakeholders. Additionally, they will visit schools and classrooms and make a preliminary judgment on continued accreditation which will be presented to the board of education at the conclusion of their visit, January 29, 2013.

Greg Deal and Cindy Benefield attended the Advanc-ED Tennessee Accreditation and Effective Practices Summit October 7-9, 2013 in preparation for this process. SCHOOL CLIMATE Several school climate initiatives have been implemented this fall. Through GEAR UP all 8th graders spent a day at the Life Development Center to build confidence, leadership skills and focus on future educational goals. On September 23, 2013 forty 9th to 12th graders attended a Youth Engagement Summit at the JA Building. This group was facilitated by STARS (Students Taking a Right Stand) of Nashville. After learning about the definition and statistics of bullying, students participated in activities to develop empathy. These student leaders were shown the impact of their voice and effective principles for using their voice. By the end of the day each school had an action plan to improve school climate. One CHS student shared with a counselor it was the best experience she has ever had in school. There will also be a spring summit to prepare for next school year. Last Monday, October 7, 2013 almost seventy 10th graders met at the Alex Haley Farm for Move to Stand, which was also facilitated by STARS. Students participated in small group activities to learn about the many perspectives of bullying and face where they stand on the continuum. The most impactful was learning to take off the mask that is put on before associating with their peers. Once students realized their stance, they were given various options on how to voice that stand among peers to change the life of a student being targeted by bullies. Two ACHS students gave a very emotional presentation to the district climate team of Move to Stand. RECOGNITION Anderson County Schools recently began a program to recognize support staff groups within our system who serve our students. Last month, bus drivers were recognized by the board, students and staff. At this month’s board meeting, the board recognized custodians for their hard work and dedication to our schools. Students and staff will recognize their custodians throughout the month. Also each month a school is selected to receive the “Golden Broom” award. The school that is the most presentable, clean and appealing is honored by their teachers and central office staff. The recipient of the inaugural award in September was Clinton High School. The custodial staff was presented a certificate during staff meeting declaring them the winner of the “Golden Broom” award. CHS teachers gave them a standing ovation and applauded them for their tireless work. The award will be presented again in October to the school deemed the most appealing and clean. TRAFFIC LIGHTS At our last meeting, Commissioner Jerry White asked ACS to investigate the process of installing school zone lights at Dutch Valley Elementary School. Mr. Forgety, Transportation Director, states the responsibility for installing the lights is with the body that governs the road or street serving the school. For example, lights installed at schools located on state highways are purchased and installed by the state with support from local legislators. Therefore, Dutch Valley is a county road and Anderson County Government would be responsible for purchasing and installing the lights. If/ or once

installed, the system could provide all required upkeep and maintenance. The projected cost to purchase and install the lights would be approximately $7,000. The board recommended the request to their Transportation Committee for review. ENERGY SAVINGS PROJECT The Anderson County Board of Education approved the Energy Systems Group proposal to conduct an energy savings project to place the ACS within the top 10 percent of peer Tennessee school districts. This project is very similar to the project undertaken by the Anderson County Commission last year and will enable ACS to replace aging major utility systems while remodeling aging school structures, achieving an estimated 30 percent reduction in energy costs (approximately $600,000 per year), and consolidating the energy management systems so that the central control of school environments can be simplified and maximized. This is a $9.6 million project, less $363,000, in TVA Grants for a net $9.3 million to be financed over a 15 year term which will require NO TAX INCREASE, NO ADVERSE BUDGET IMPACTS, and will provide a much more efficient educational environment for many years to come for the students and teachers of Anderson County. The following are the six goals of the project: Goal #1 Reduce utility expenses in all ways possible for fiscal and environmental stewardship and to counter future expected utility cost increases

ESG’s engineering efforts have identified > 30 percent reduction to utility costs (approximately $600,000 per year)

Goal #2 Fund the replacement of HVAC equipment and related systems that are at or past useful life. The project will fully fund:

Replacement of boiler systems at five schools with high efficiency redundant systems

Replacement of the HVAC system at CHS (119 water source heat pump units) Replacement of the HVAC system at Clinton Middle School (42 water source

heat pump units) Replacement of the HVAC system at Briceville Elementary School Replacement / upgrade of pump systems to variable pumping control at six

schools Replacement of key electrical system components at ACHS

Goal #3 Fund the replacement / upgrade of other key building systems

Program funds the replacement of single pane windows at four schools i) Comfort, aesthetics and security enhancement benefits

Program funds suspended ceiling upgrades in six schools Goal #4 Enhance control system capabilities and establish energy management tools and strategies

Program funds the upgrade/ replacement of all schools control/ energy management systems

Program funds the installation of over 1200 occupancy sensor systems to turn off lights and HVAC equipment when rooms are unoccupied.

Program funds sub metering of electric and water meters in all schools for ongoing monitoring and analysis to establish energy management best practices

Goal #5 Achieve energy efficiency levels for ACS that place the district in the top ten percent of peer/ Tennessee school systems

Program engineering has defined the equipment upgrades, technology upgrades and best practices to achieve this goal and sustain/ grow long term excellence

Goal #6 Accomplish goals #1 through #5 with potentially no capital funding requirements (dependent upon achieving a 2.39 percent interest rate) and no tax increase

Program engineered/ designed requires no new county taxes Program savings will be guaranteed on an annual basis for the term of the

financing DISCOVER PATHWAY GRANT Heather Powell, ACCTC Business Department, has been selected to receive a Discover Pathway to Financial Success Grant in the amount of $5,000. The Dave Ramsey High School Curriculum provided by this grant is aligned with Common Core standards and will help ensure our students receive the financial education they need to make informed decisions that will help them achieve a brighter financial future.

Anderson County ADA Oversight Committee Minutes October 7, 2013

Present: Commissioners Jerry Creasey and John Shuey, ADA Coordinator Roger Lloyd, Louise McKown and Leroy Gilliam Second Floor Restroom in the Courthouse: Roger reported that they are ordering new tile, which is taking time to come in. When that gets in, the workers will be done quickly thereafter. Tour of Andersonville Firehouse #3: Commissioner Creasey, Roger, Louise and Leroy toured the firehouse for an ADA check. Louise sent them a letter summarizing what we found that they lacked, complete with diagrams from the 2010 Revised ADA guidelines. They will send photos to us once the work is done. They knew they needed a grab bar in the restroom available to the public. We informed them that they need two, they needed to move the toilet paper dispenser to be under the long one, lower the towel dispenser, and get rid of the cabinet around the sink and put in a stand‐alone sink. They also need to have a wheelchair symbol on the sign to the left of the door. The parking lot needs to have one paved accessible parking space and egress aisle and proper signage. They have some picnic tables and a grill, but they are on grass , so it is inaccessible. They would like to add some playground equipment near them. We suggested that they call us before they start that project. Accessible Water Fountain for the Third Floor of the Courthouse: Leroy brought to our attention that both water fountains on the third floor are inaccessible, even though the one near the Unisex restroom has been lowered. However, a wheelchair user cannot wheel under it. Roger gave us an estimate of no more than $1,000 to replace it. We voted to ask him to do that. Parking signs: Leroy will get with Roger to give him the proper towing information for a number of signs that need to be updated. Visit to Anderson County Park: Louise will email all the members to find out which Fridays they can go to the Park before the next meeting. Renovated Detention Facility: Louise noted that in November or December, we will need to tour the facility before prisons are moved there. She requested that members come with their calendars to the next ADA meeting. Two citizens from Oak Ridge, Mr. and Mrs. Smith attended the meeting. Her family were buried in a cemetery before it became Norris State Park. However, the road into the gravesite has deteriorated, and they cannot get into visit the graves. Commissioner Creasey will talk with someone in charge of Norris State Park and will get back to the Smiths. This is not anything the County can help them with. The next meeting is November 4,, 2013. Minutes written and submitted by Louise McKown, chair of the committee.

RE: Waste Management Grant Money

To Whom lt May Concern:

Oak Ridge Schools is requesting funds from the Waste Management Grant for useby Jefferson and Robertsville Middle Schools fifth grade classes. The grant wouldbe divided between schools giving each $2,000.

As in the past, the funds would be used for the annual field trip to JA Biz Town.We have found this opportunity to be a wonderful hands-on learning experience forour students. The Biz Town experience allows students to take on the challengesof running a city and working as a group to accomplish mutual goals.Approximately 370 students will participate; the cost of attending Biz Town is$20.00 per student plus the additional funds necessary to provide transportation.The money available in the Waste Management Grant would lower the cost of thisexperience for the students.

Thank you in advance for your consideration in securing this grant for Oak RidgeMiddle Schools. lf you need more information or have any questions pleasecontact my office.
