GAP ANALYSIS : AEST certifications were developed as a result of a need within the agricultural industry. The Florida Farm Bureau saw that agriculturists needed a trusted, reliable credential that could be used when hiring employees. As a result, industry-driven assessments of agricultural career fields have been developed in the form of industry certifications. Each certification reflects a differing agricultural sector and the skills and competencies necessary for success in that field. PREVIOUS OUTCOMES: In 2021-2022, students earned 1,317 industry certifications from AEST suite of industry certifications (data as of October 19, 2022).

Consent Agenda Subject 1.06 Agreement for Technical Services #22288-ATS-IV with Pacific Research & Evaluation, LLC for the Department of Defense Education Activity (DoDEA) World Language Advancement and Readiness Grant Project (Academic Services) Meeting Dec 13, 2022 - Regular School Board Meeting Type Action (Consent) Recommended Action Approve the Agreement for Technical Services #22288-ATS-IV with Pacific Research & Evaluation, LLC for the DoDEA World Language Advancement and Readiness grant project. Goals Fiscal and Operational Responsibility Academic Excellence DESCRIPTION : The DoDEA World Language Advancement and Readiness grant will establish a Spanish immersion Bridge to Biliteracy program at four elementary schools, as well as to enhance existing World Languages programming at two middle schools and one high school over a five-year period. Bridge to Biliteracy programs will be established at Dawson and Summerfield Crossings Elementary Schools beginning with the 2022-2023 year, followed by programs at Lanier and West Shore Elementary Schools in 2023-2024. Enhancements to World Language programming at Barrington and Randall Middle Schools will be implemented beginning with the 2023-2024 year and at Robinson High School beginning with the 2024-2025 year. The goal of the grant is to help support the national strategy of improving access to as many languages as possible for people of every region, ethnicity, and socioeconomic background; and to develop the World Languages skills critical to supporting national defense competencies. Elementary schools were selected based on having at least a 10 percent military-connected enrollment. This agreement for evaluation services is recommended in order to fulfill the requirement for a third-party evaluation consultant for the 2022-2023 school year during the program period of the grant. Grant evaluation services include the following: evaluation design assistance, data analysis, and a comprehensive Annual Performance Evaluation report. GAP ANALYSIS : Hillsborough County Public Schools (HCPS) is now a minority-majority district with 37.3 percent of the student population identifying as Hispanic. HCPS sees the need to adjust its World Languages programming to meet the needs of students at the center of these changing demographics. In addition to the need to prepare students for changing demographics within their community and the country, HCPS recognizes the need to prepare students for the workforce in general and especially for jobs associated with the Department of Defense and national security. Due to the increasingly global nature of our society, according to New American Economy (2017), from 2010 to 2015 the demand for bilingual workers in the United States more than doubled, with employers increasingly looking for workers who can speak Chinese, Spanish, and Arabic. The goal of the proposed project is to expand Spanish language programming in the district and to create a pipeline of learning opportunities from the elementary up to secondary level. PREVIOUS OUTCOMES: Pacific Research & Evaluation, LLC served as the external evaluator for the first year of the DoDEA World Language Advancement and Readiness grant. They developed data collection instruments focused on formative and summative analysis on implementation of grant activities. This included the development of pre and post surveys, interviews with key staff and project leaders, and summary data on student participants supported with the grant. The results were used to prepare quarterly progress reports as well as a summative end of year evaluation report. EXPECTED OUTCOMES: Pacific Research & Evaluation, LLC will use formal and informal methods to evaluate programmatic activities. Key data collection mechanisms for the evaluation will include interviews with instructional leaders and educators (project director, key personnel, and selected teachers at participating schools) and HCPS program planning documents and internal progress measures. The results will be used to prepare a summative end of year evaluation report. RECOMMENDATION: That the Board approve the Agreement for Technical Services #22288-ATS-IV with Pacific Research & Evaluation, LLC for the DoDEA World Language Advancement and Readiness grant project.

Consent Agenda Subject 1.07 Agreement for Technical Services #22273-ATS-IV with Prismatic Services, Inc. for the Evaluation of the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) Promoting Health Education Grant Project (Academic Services) Meeting Dec 13, 2022 - Regular School Board Meeting Type Action (Consent) Recommended Action Approve the Agreement for Technical Services #22273-ATS-IV with Prismatic Services, Inc. for the evaluation of the CDC Promoting Health Education grant project. Goals Academic Excellence Fiscal and Operational Responsibility DESCRIPTION : The CDC Promoting Health Education grant focuses on expanding health education curriculum for students in Grades 6-12. This agreement for evaluation services is recommended in order to fulfill the requirement for a third-party evaluation consultant for the 2022-2023 school year during the program period of the grant. Grant evaluation services include the following: evaluation design assistance, data analysis, and a comprehensive Annual Performance Evaluation report. GAP ANALYSIS : Health behaviors during adolescence set the stage for health well into adulthood. The Youth Risk Behavior Survey (YRBS) data from 2019 indicated Florida youth engage in similar unsafe adolescent health behaviors as teens across the nation: 37 percent of Florida high school students reported ever having sexual intercourse, and about 26 percent were currently sexually active. Other data indicate that Florida youth engage in substantially more risky sexual behaviors, such as not using birth control methods before their last sexual encounter, which puts them at greater risk than their peers throughout the nation. Based on 2018 data, Florida has the third highest rate of diagnosis of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection for adolescents ages 13-24 years old. The rate of 10.3 per 100,00 is nearly double the United States rate of 5.8. Hillsborough County Public Schools (HCPS) is committed to building local capacity to reduce HIV infection, other sexually transmitted diseases (STDs), and related risk behaviors among youth ages 10-19, as well as reducing disparities in HIV infection and other STDs among specific adolescent subpopulations. The CDC grant activities seek to improve these rates. Having an external evaluator is part of our grant requirements. PREVIOUS OUTCOMES: Prismatic Services, Inc. has served as the external evaluator for the CDC grant for the past three years. They have produced infographics of HCPS YRBS data for district use. Prismatic Services, Inc. has evaluated pragmatic activities by collecting data, helped with creating evaluations, and creating infographics. EXPECTED OUTCOMES: Prismatic Services, Inc. will evaluate programmatic activities. In addition, they will provide technical assistance on recording survey data. The survey results and results from the program evaluation will be used to help target and improve interventions, establish funding priorities, and support development of policies and practices to reduce priority health-risk behaviors among youth. RECOMMENDATION: That the Board approve the Agreement for Technical Services #22273-ATS-IV with Prismatic Services, Inc. for the evaluation of the CDC Promoting Health Education grant project.

Goals Fiscal and Operational Responsibility Academic Excellence DESCRIPTION : The K-8 Pipeline to DoD Careers grant focuses on offering formal and informal K-12 Science, Technology, Engineering, Mathematics (STEM) education experiences to increase interest in and preparation for DoD STEM careers. This agreement for evaluation services is recommended in order to fulfill the requirement for a third-party evaluation consultant for the 2022-2023 school year during the program period of the grant. Grant evaluation services include the following: evaluation design assistance, data analysis, and a comprehensive Annual Performance Evaluation report. GAP ANALYSIS : Though Hillsborough County Public Schools (HCPS) offers a number of STEM educational opportunities, the district lacks an intentional connection between existing offerings and DoD STEM career pathways. Thus, the goal of the proposed project is to increase the number of students who are prepared for the twenty-first century DoD STEM workforce. This goal will be accomplished by focusing on three objectives: 1) enhancing the capacity to offer innovative STEM programming related to DoD focus areas; 2) improving educational opportunities for students in DoD STEM fields; and 3) encouraging students to more deeply engage in DoD STEM fields. PREVIOUS OUTCOMES: Indikus Evaluation and Planning served as the external evaluator for the first two years of the K-8 Pipeline to DoD Careers grant. They developed data collection instruments focused on formative and summative analysis on implementation of grant activities. This included the development of pre and post surveys, interviews with key staff and project leaders, and summary data on student participants in out-of-school STEM programming supported with the grant. The results were used to prepare quarterly progress reports as well as a summative end of year evaluation report. EXPECTED OUTCOMES: Indikus Evaluation and Planning will use formal and informal methods to evaluate programmatic activities. Key collection mechanisms for the evaluation will include interviews with instructional leaders and educators (project director, key personnel, and selected teachers at participating schools); teacher surveys regarding the DoD STEM grant; HCPS program planning documents and internal progress measures; data requests of HCPS for participation and academic performance; and virtual or in-person site visits at participating schools. The results will be used to prepare quarterly progress reports as well as a summative end of year evaluation report.

Consent Agenda Subject 1.09 Agreement for Technical Services #22289-ATS-IV with Pacific Research & Evaluation, LLC for the Preventing School Violence: Bureau of Justice Assistance (BJA) STOP School Violence Program Grant Project (Academic Services) Meeting Dec 13, 2022 - Regular School Board Meeting Type Action (Consent) Recommended Action Approve the Agreement for Technical Services #22289-ATS-IV with Pacific Research & Evaluation, LLC for the Preventing School Violence: BJA STOP School Violence Program grant project. Goals Fiscal and Operational Responsibility Academic Excellence DESCRIPTION : The Preventing School Violence: BJA STOP School Violence Program is designed to improve K-12 school security by providing students and teachers with the tools they need to recognize, respond quickly to, and help prevent acts of violence and ensure a positive school climate. Early intervention through the provisions of training to teachers and school staff and education to the students is needed to help prevent school violence. Children who are socially and emotionally competent have the skills to successfully manage their emotions and behavior, cooperate with others, form positive relations, and make responsible decisions. To prevent school violence in early childhood and beyond at the six targeted schools: Foster, Graham, James, Miles, Shaw, and Witter Elementary Schools, this grant proposes to implement the 7 Mindsets program as part of the Project Mindset Matters (M 2 ). M 2 will train school personnel and educate students on preventing school violence using Social Emotional Learning (SEL) skills and strategies. GAP ANALYSIS : Schools have limited access to SEL resources, and fidelity implementation often varies greatly. The grant-funded 7 Mindsets program will enhance and extend the explicit teaching of SEL skills to targeted students. We anticipate these students will learn to better manage their own behavior and will avoid engaging in bullying, addiction, and interpersonal violence. All program activities will contribute to the overall project goal of preventing and reducing school violence, as they will provide teachers with the ability to help grow students' SEL skills. Program activities are also designed to increase school safety, using SEL as an evidence-based solution to prevent violence against schools, staff, and students and to ensure positive school climate. PREVIOUS OUTCOMES: Pacific Research & Evaluation, LLC served as the external evaluator for the first year of the Preventing School Violence: BJA STOP School Violence grant. They supported data collection, focused on formative and summative analysis on implementation of grant activities. These results were used to prepare an end of the year report and to prepare a year two grant implementation and areas of focus. EXPECTED OUTCOMES: Pacific Research & Evaluation, LLC will use formal and informal methods to evaluate programmatic activities. They will provide technical assistance on recording survey data. The survey results and results from the program evaluation will be used to help target and improve overall program and activity effectiveness. The program will focus on three primary outcomes. Each of these outcomes contribute to the overarching goal of preventing and reducing school violence and increasing school safety using evidence-based solutions. These include increasing percentages on district climate and culture surveys, school, teacher, and student perception data.

Goals Fiscal and Operational Responsibility Academic Excellence DESCRIPTION : The Title IV grant provides student support and academic enrichment with the purpose of improving student academic achievement in district schools. The grant supports programs such as arts education initiatives, leveled literacy interventions, and intensive professional development designed to expand teachers' understanding of mathematical content and pedagogy. This agreement for evaluation services is recommended in order to fulfill the requirement for a third-party evaluation consultant for the 2022-2023 school year during the program period of the grant. Grant evaluation services include the following: evaluation design assistance, data analysis, quarterly reports, and a comprehensive Annual Performance Evaluation report. GAP ANALYSIS : The Title IV Part A, Student Support & Academic Enrichment (SSAE) grant is intended to provide services and support for 28 transformation schools in the district. Based on the 2021 Florida Standards Assessment (FSA), less than thirty percent of the students in the transformation schools scored a Level 3 or higher on the English Language Arts FSA, and about the same was true for the math FSA. Approximately 5,800 of the 8,000 students in tested grade levels performed below grade level. Students attending the Hillsborough County Public Schools (HCPS) transformation schools would greatly benefit from access to, and opportunities for, a well-rounded education; improved school conditions for student learning; a healthier and safer school environment; access to personalized learning experiences supported by technology; and staff professional development for the effective use of data and technology. PREVIOUS OUTCOMES: Indikus Evaluation and Planning has served as the external evaluator for the Title IV grant since 2018-2019. They developed data collection inst
