School College Preparatory Program (SCPP) Test Update

Justin Leach, Director of Testing, informed the Committee about the following information regarding Special College Preparatory

Program (SCPP) test. The SCPP test is required for entrance into Walnut Hills and Dater High School's SCPP Program.

Mr. Leach provided the Committee with a chart of 6th

-grade retesting results used for entry into Dater and Walnut Hills high

schools. The District provides the test for 2nd

- and 6th

-grade students, with one re-take throughout the year. The Chart includes

comparison data per school, from the 2018-2019 and 2019-2020 school years. The Chart shows data for students currently

enrolled, students eligible and students out of district.

He reiterated that the results showed a lower number of students passing than last year due to an updated norm test from 2011 up

to 2017. The drop is due to maintaining the old SCPP test for too long without updating it to the most recent norms.

Committee member Messer expressed concern about the eligibility drop in minority groups. Deputy Superintendent Amat

mentioned that overall bias in testing, the change in norms, and availability of rigorous curriculums are factors that affect students

being available to reach the eligibility scores. She also reported that CPS is working on making sure that all CPS students have

access to a rigorous education.

A copy of the report is available in the Board office.

Senate Bill 216 – 3rd Grade Reading

Justin Leach, Director of Testing, informed the Committee about the following information regarding SB216.

His below report focused on 3rd

-grade ELA tests and the 3rd

-Grade Alternate Assessments with a goal of getting further feedback

and for a decision on the format of the 3rd

-grade tests in 2020-2021.

He reported that in August 2018, the Ohio General Assembly passed Senate Bill 216 that was subsequently signed into law.

One of the provisions of SB216 gives school Districts an option to administer the 3rd

–grade State tests in a paper format beginning

in the 2019-2020 school year. In 2019-20, the consensus was to move to paper for the 3rd

-Grade Ohio State Tests in ELA

and Alternate Assessment.

Important Considerations:

SB 216 Components:

● SB216 applies only to 3rd

-grade state testing. All 4th

-

grade tests will remain online.

● The decision around SB216 applies to all schools in the

District.

● The decision around SB216 can be made by test (ELA,

Math, AASCD) but applies to all administrations of that

test during the full school year (fall, spring, summer).

● This decision can be reviewed annually.

Accommodations & Accessibility:

● With online testing, students needing paper copies in an

IEP or 504 plan could still receive paper copies as an

accommodation.

● Paper accommodations as accessibility features as

described in the Ohio Accessibility Manual would still be

available if testing is administered online. Universal

tools like text-to-speech for the math test would no longer

be available for all students on paper assessments.

Mr. Leach stated that consensus remains with the Administration that online testing is appropriate for 3rd grade Math tests.

ASSIGNMENT: The Committee will recommend to the Board to continue with online testing.

A copy of the full report is available in the Board office.

Presentation – Camp Joy

Tia Draper, Sales Director for Camp Joy, provided the Committee with the following overview of the program.

JOY’s Outdoor Education and Student Leadership (grades 9-12) program partners with schools to provide

exciting and unforgettable hands-on experiential education. JOY offers over 30 unique day and evening

programs formulated to incorporate standards and graded courses of study for students in 4th through 8th grade.

Forest, Wetland and Comparative Ecology

Study of Reptiles and Amphibians, Mammals, Birds and Insects

Cultural History

High Ropes Courses

Wilderness Survival Map andCompass

Group Initiatives

Night Hikes, New Games, Campfires and much more!

Deputy Superintendent Amat asked about grant opportunities for Title I schools. Ms. Draper reported that funding is available

and that Camp Joy will work in conjunction with CPS on grant opportunities.

Ms. Amat recommended that the District’s grant writer work with Camp Joy in co-writing a grant, as well as working with the

District’s Community Partner Manager to assist in making all schools aware of the Camp Joy programs.

Final Review of Board Bylaws

The Committee reviewed the bylaws and recommended the following revisions to the document.

ADD: 0124 Graduations

(A) The language will reference the conferring of diplomas or honors diplomas according to Ohio Revised

Code 3313.61 Diploma or honors diploma.

(B) When graduation schedules are announced, Board members will select their first and second choices.

Ideally Board members will each have three graduations.

Graduations should rotate amongst Board members so each Board member can experience each

school’s graduation.

REVISE: 0142.1

The language will reference who can administer the Oath of Office according to Ohio Revised Codes 3313.10, R.C.

147.07 and R.C. 3.24.

The Committee reviewed the spreadsheet of each Committee’s responsibilities that are aligned to the Strategic Plan and expressed

concern about Growth Measure 5.1 – Increase CPS market share by positioning it as the educational provider of choice and

actively recruiting families to CPS schools being assigned to the Finance Committee and whether or not it should be addressed in

the Student Achievement Committee.

ASSIGNMENT: The Committee could not come to a consensus as to what Committee is appropriate for review of Growth

Measures.

The group will recommend to the Board to have the Administration advise the order of the five Growth

Measures (5.1, 5.2, 5.3, 5.4); should the measures first be placed in the SAC to determine if there is capacity

or in the Finance Committee to determine if there is funding.

Review of Policies and Presentation Outside of Standard Process

The Committee reported that a process is needed for individuals who have been invited to present at Committee meetings. The

goal is to make sure that topics received outside of the standard process are vetted through the Superintendent.

ASSIGNMENT: The Committee, at the March 16, 2020 Regular Business will discuss with the Board that topics not included

in the approved Committee Workplans will be referred to the Superintendent to determine if the topic is

pertinent to the work of the District’s Strategic Plan before being referred to a Board Committee.
