INQUIRIES/UPDATES

1. Member Bates – New Law - The Ohio Department of Education requires Cincinnati Digital Academy to have its own

Information Retrieval Numbers (IRN) to each school since students who receive instruction remotely can no longer be

under the same accountability system as students who attend a physical school. As a result, Cincinnati Digital Academy

and Virtual High School are now two separate schools.

2. Member Moroski – Met with the former Valedictorian of Walnut Hills HS that started a company in college that would

give a Teacher the temper of the classroom and how things are going with the students.

3. Member Moroski – I had asked months ago for data the captures the ACLU data of the police in our schools. I have

never seen anything, if we have that please share would like to review the data.

ASSIGNMENTS

Please note the following assignments:

1. Administration – Request the board receives a list of schools that have a standing waiting list and the number by grade

that are on the waiting list.

2. Administration – Request data on the effectiveness of the SRO/CPD program.

3. Administration/Policy Committee – Revisit vaccinations and what does that mean for CPS.
