BACKGROUND : Florida State law, Section 1008.22(7), F.S. , requires the Florida Department of Education to publish a uniform calendar each year that includes statewide assessment information. Using this calendar, each school district must establish schedules for the administration of all statewide, standardized assessments and district-required assessments. The districtwide assessment calendars must be approved by the School Board, included in parent notifications and published on the district website, per the statute. User-friendly districtwide assessment calendars have been established for elementary, middle and high school levels and have been converted to display in the Uniform Statewide Assessment Calendar format, as required by law. Assessment calendars are posted on the Assessment, Accountability and Research webpage. The 2020-2021 calendars can be viewed here: https://www.pcsb.org/Page/15479 Each year the Executive Directors of Elementary, Middle and High School Education, along with other district assessment staff, review the calendars for adherence to all local and state requirements. Local assessments are chosen based on input from district and school staff in order to progress monitor and best support students in achieving state standards. These include final exams in middle and high school and the Measures of Academic Progress (MAP) in elementary schools. RATIONALE : Statute requires that no student have more than 5% of their total school hours in a year scheduled for required state and local assessments. The proposed calendars meet the requirements of state statute and ensure students are assessed on required statewide assessments, while not exceeding the 5% threshold for assessments. The range of required assessments is as low as 0.6% in kindergarten and no grade level exceeds 3.5% of required time. Local assessments will support students and provide actionable data for teachers through individual student and schoolwide progress monitoring.

On July 30, 2019, the board approved Amendment to Agreement No. 2 with JE Dunn Construction Company in connection with the Phase II renovation and remodel of the Auditorium (Building 21). This resulted in a Phase II GMP of $4,200,121.88. On January 14, 2020, the board approved Change Order No. 1 which consisted of replenishing the project’s contingency funds for the Auditorium stage rigging repairs and structural ductile pile overages. This change order in the amount of $162,553.80 resulted in a revised GMP of $18,173,751.48 with no time extension. Change Order No. 2 will reconcile the GMP. The cost of the Direct Purchase Orders (DPO) for equipment/materials totaling $2,861,747.24, sales tax savings totaling $106,259.43, unspent construction buy-out totaling $278,940.24 and unspent contingency totaling $118,589.13 must now be deducted from the GMP. The adjustment will decrease the total GMP of $18,173,751.48 by $3,365,536.04 resulting in a final GMP amount of $14,808,215.44. The final total project cost is $20,301,761.04. A copy of the change order form is attached. RATIONALE : It is necessary to delete the owner-purchased items, sales tax savings and balance of the contingency from the GMP to reconcile the accounts.

State lottery funds provide for School Recognition awards and Discretionary Lottery funds. Discretionary Lottery funds are only available to districts when state lottery funds exceed the amount required for School Recognition awards. Districts receive Discretionary Lottery funds, when available, which are then provided to schools for support of school improvement plans. When available, schools are allocated up to $5 per Unweighted Full-Time Equivalent (UFTE) student, to be used at the discretion of the School Advisory Council (SAC), pursuant to F.S. 24.121(5). These funds are commonly referred to as “school improvement funds.” Historically, the district has provided local funds for this purpose when Discretionary Lottery funds have been unavailable.

Effective and Efficient Use of Resources 4 - Strategic Direction 6. Communication and Stakeholder Engagement BACKGROUND : Florida Statute 1001.42(16)(a) requires annual school board approval and implementation of a new, amended or continued Schoolwide Improvement Plan (SIP) for each school in the district. Each year, in alignment with the District Strategic Plan (DSP), schools engage in a continuous improvement process through the development and implementation of their SIP. Alignment between the DSP and SIPs is vital to ensure the entire district is working together to meet the needs of students. In alignment with the federally-approved Florida Department of Education Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA) plan, the district transitioned to the state CIMS platform for the 2020-2021 SIPs. Each SIP is structured to delineate current progress, strategies, goals, action plans, professional development and monitoring to support growth. These high-leverage areas set forth a path for continuous improvement. In addition to the areas of focus (academic subject areas, sub-group, Bridging the Gap, Conditions for Learning, Family Community Engagement, etc.) included in previous SIPs, the 2020-2021 plans include explicit goals, strategies and action plans for equity at each school. District staff provided training, support and a formal review process to assist in the development of the SIP for each school. Implementation, progress monitoring and review for effectiveness will be ongoing and completed by both school and district teams. As working documents, the SIP should be iterative and adjusted, as needed, to support school improvement. The 2020-2021 SIPs can be viewed online at https://www.pcsb.org/Page/16901 . Following approval of the plans, all SIPs will be made available on each school website. Following the submission and approval process within the state CIMs platform, they will also be available for viewing online at http://www.floridacims.org . RATIONALE : All schools are required to have a board-approved SIP each year in accordance with state statute and district Policy 2120- School Improvement and Academic Accountability .

Communication and Stakeholder Engagement BACKGROUND: The District Strategic Plan (DSP) is grounded in the vision, mission, values, strategic directions and goals for Pinellas County Schools. Each year, the district reviews the DSP in order to engage in a cycle of improvement that puts student success at the center of the work. The annual update to the DSP is informed by: student and district performance; requirements of state and federal mandates; and input and feedback received from students, parents, community members, partners and staff members throughout the year. As the driving force for improvement across the district, the DSP is developed each year alongside the budget to ensure resources are prioritized and aligned with the programs and initiatives that support the district goals. The district, upon approval of this plan, will continue to progress with the following strategic directions: Student Achievement Learning in a Safe Environment Equity with Excellence for All Career and College Readiness Effective and Efficient Use of Resources Communication and Stakeholder Engagement The DSP is structured to delineate long-term direction and annual action goals. These high-leverage areas set forth the long-term path for continuous improvement. The action goals, aligned to each Strategic Goal, demonstrate the prioritized goals of the district for the 2020-2021 school year. Each Action Goal has a district administrator who works collaboratively with teams to develop implementation plans and monitor progress throughout the year. In support of the DSP, each school engages in a continuous improvement process through School Improvement Plans (SIPs). As schools build their SIPs, site-based teams review current progress, develop strategies, set goals and create action plans to support growth. Alignment between the DSP and SIPs is vital to ensure the entire district is working together to meet our Strategic Goals. RATIONALE : Pursuant to Policy 2110, and in conjunction with the development, approval, and adoption of the district budget, the Superintendent annually submits for School Board approval a District Strategic Plan containing the vision, mission, core values, strategic directions and strategic goals for the forthcoming school year. The School Board reviewed the DSP at the Board Workshop on June 23, July 14 and August 11, 2020. Changes were made based on board discussions and recommendations.

Meeting Sep 8, 2020 - Regular School Board Meeting - 5 p.m. Type Action Budget Source There will be a cost to the District to ensure that all schools have the Crisis Team members (5-7 each school) trained in CPI I and CPI II. Recommended Action Approve setting a Public Hearing and authorizing the advertisement of the Public Hearing to consider the amendment to Policy 2460 – EXCEPTIONAL STUDENT EDUCATION. Goals 4 - Strategic Direction 1. Student Achievement BACKGROUND : Florida law requires that district school boards annually submit to the Florida Department of Education (FDOE) proposed procedures for the provision of special instruction and services for exceptional students. This document also serves as the basis for the identification, evaluation, eligibility determination and placement of students in special programs for exceptional students and is a component of the district’s application for supplemental student funds available under the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA). Rule 6A-6.03411, Florida Administrative Code, requires the approval of this document by the FDOE as a prerequisite for districts’ use of weighted cost factors under the Florida Education Finance Program. This State Policies and Procedures for Exceptional Student Education is typically written in the fall of the school year it serves. It is completely reviewed and revised every three years. In between full revisions, the SP&P is revised as needed based upon changes in case law, federal guidance or state interpretation of IDEA. FDOE typically approves the District’s SP&P in the spring of each year. This year because of legal review and the COVID 19 closures of FDOE, the SP&P for the 19/20 school year was not released until May 2020. A complete revision will occur in the 20/21 SP&P. Following FDOE approval, the new ESE SP&P is brought to the School Board for approval prior to signature by the Superintendent. The new ESE SP&P will be in effect through the end of the 2019-2020 school year unless additional legislative changes are enacted with an earlier effective date. Updates include: Section I A- Restraint and Seclusion. Changes were made to how incidents are reported by schools and the monitoring/training that will be provided by district-level specialists and committees. Restraint and seclusion data comparisons were included for the 17/18 school year and 18/19 school years. Language about the structure and requirements for site-based Crisis Teams was changed to a determined number of members based on best practices and the CPI II training required for these members. In the district’s plan to reduce usage of restraint, language about Positive Behavior Interventions and Supports and Multi-Tiered System of Supports was added. Information specific to FBA data and implementation fidelity of the PBIP including the addition of the district’s Safety Plan and a Crisis De-escalation Plan was written into the SP&P. In the supports section, the addition of site-based and district behavior specialists was added. Section I B.3- Collaboration of Public Private Partnership. We no longer have contractual agreements with Educational Alternative Services (EAS) in other districts for PCS students. We have contractual agreements for other counties to send their students to Pinellas County DJJ. The number of staff changed at some of our EAS and the names of the EAS schools changed and is reflected in the updates. Section I C.1- Exceptional Student Education Procedural Safeguards. Minor changes were made to meet federal guidelines. Section I G- General Education Intervention Procedures. Updates to this section reflect changes to the MTSS Manual for PCS. Section II C- IEP. The language for ESY was changed to align general statutes. The section on continuum of services was completely changed to be aligned with current language and practice federally and locally. Section II B.12- Exceptional Education Eligibility for Students with Specific Learning Disabilities. This section has increased detail concerning the process used to determine eligibility that includes multiple reviews of gap analysis, percentage of growth over time via response to intervention. Section II E- Participation in State and District Assessments. Changes were made at each level to submit the districtwide assessments currently being given. The data for percentage of students on FSAA in the 18/19 school year were updated and a statement was added explaining the steps the district has taken to reduce the percentages and will be taking to increase professional development. Section II D- Discipline. Changes were made to this section to include the current training that is occurring in the district on social emotional learning, restorative practices and trauma informed care. Language was added on who serves in various roles in discipline reviews and the steps that need to be taken during alternative placements. Language about CPI levels and who gets the training was changed as it was in the restraint and seclusion section. Appendix C: District Plan to Increase the Participation of Underrepresented Students in the Program for Students who are Gifted. Current data was updated. Appendix D: District Policies Regarding the Allowable Use or Prohibition of Physical Restraint and Seclusion. The Board policy on mechanical restraint was removed because we no longer have contractual agreements with residential placement facilities that would be allowed to use mechanical restraint. The Board policy on Seclusion was uploaded. New Appendix- School closures Due to National or Local Emergency. The Florida Department of Education added an appendix that deals with PCS response during times of national or local emergency. PCS was required to provide supporting documentation used to support and educate staff and families. The documents provided are: PCS ESE Instructional Continuity Guide FERPA statement for therapies Parent letter concerning the Digital Learning Plan ESE Staff Roles Description Guidance Document Process for IEP Meetings Guidance Document RATIONALE : This is the first reading of the proposed amendment. Policy 2460 – EXCEPTIONAL STUDENT EDUCATION is being amended to include changes to the ESE SP&P, which is incorporated by reference into Policy 2460.
