Recognitions Subject A02 Recognition of Students with Perfect Attendance from Kindergarten through Twelfth Grade (Innovation & Strategic Planning) Meeting Jun 2, 2025 - Regular School Board Meeting Type Information Goals Exceptional Talent Academic Excellence DESCRIPTION : Research has shown that school attendance is the foundation of student achievement. Former Deputy Superintendent, Beth Shields, initiated an annual attendance program to recognize students who have maintained perfect attendance from kindergarten through twelfth grade while attending Hillsborough County Public Schools (HCPS). GAP ANALYSIS : According to the National Center for Education Statistics, students who attend school regularly have been shown to achieve at higher levels than students who do not have regular attendance. High school graduation rates have been shown to have a direct, significant correlation to consistent school performance. Students who eventually dropped out of high school missed significantly more days of school in first grade than their peers who graduated from high school. PREVIOUS OUTCOMES: Each year the School Board and Superintendent recognizes graduating seniors with perfect attendance in their kindergarten through twelfth grade academic career. EXPECTED OUTCOMES: At the end of each school year, the district conducts a search of the student database to determine seniors who qualify for the Perfect Attendance K-12 recognition.

Consent Agenda Subject 1.02 Agreement #25123-XMT-EST: Amplify Education, Inc. (Academic Services) Meeting Jun 2, 2025 - Regular School Board Meeting Type Action (Consent) Recommended Action Approve Agreement #25123-XMT-EST: Amplify Education, Inc. for the use of the Dynamic Indicators of Basic Early Literacy Skills (DIBELS) program in Grades K-5 English Learning Arts. Goals Academic Excellence DESCRIPTION : The comprehensive mCLASS system by Amplify Education, Inc. includes DIBELS 8th Edition’s one-minute measures, a built-in dyslexia screener, intervention, and reports for teachers and administrators. mCLASS offers universal and dyslexia screening in a single tool. DIBELS measures the discrete literacy skills students need to know including phonemic segmentation, letter naming and sound fluency, nonsense word fluency, word naming fluency, oral reading fluency, and vocabulary. Additionally, mCLASS provides targeted instruction and support in all the critical foundational reading skills by automatically analyzing data to place students in skill-based groups with suggested teacher-directed, targeted activities. These measures are required per Rule 6A-6.053(9)(b)4., F.A.C. as part of the District Comprehensive Evidence-Based Reading Plan (CERP). In addition to providing this data for our English speakers, mCLASS Lectura is designed to support K-5 students by providing early literacy assessment data grounded in the Science of Reading that will highlight areas of risk students may have as they develop into readers in both Spanish and English. mCLASS Lectura helps accelerate reading growth for Spanish-speaking students by pinpointing where they are in their literacy skill development and what instruction to prioritize. mCLASS Lectura also provides grouping recommendations and instructional resources to help the analysis of students’ skill sets in Spanish and English. Additionally, mCLASS will provide professional learning to administrators, coaches, and district staff to support ongoing implementation at the school sites. Professional learning for each group includes sessions for supporting data analysis and student growth. These sessions will be held after each screening cycle to ensure effective use of data in making instructional decisions. Because this is the third year of DIBELS implementation in our district, the quantity of professional learning has been decreased, as the capacity to lead this work has been built within our own district staff. The initial term of this agreement is for one year with two subsequent one-year renewals. The term of this agreement begins on July 1, 2025, and will be invoiced annually for three years through July 1, 2027. Per Rule 6A-1.012 (14), F.A.C, the Board, when acquiring, whether by purchase, lease, lease with option to purchase, rental or otherwise, information technology, as defined in § 282.0041(14), Florida Statutes, may make any acquisition through the competitive solicitation process as described herein or by direct negotiation and contract with a vendor or supplier, as best fits the needs of the District as determined by the Board. GAP ANALYSIS : House Bill (HB) 7039 requires schools to identify students who exhibit the characteristics of dyslexia and provide them specified reading interventions that are explicit and systematic and support phonological awareness, phonics, sight words, fluency, vocabulary, and comprehension. The district requires DIBELS be administered to all kindergarten and first grade students three times a year and be used with students in Grades 2-5 who are below expectation on their universal screener from the state as part of the multi-tiered systems of support (MTSS) process outlined in the comprehensive reading program. The use of mCLASS brings consistency to the system and makes it seamless for teachers to manage within their instructional day. The platform will also provide a place to house the data for easy tracking and usage in data conversations. PREVIOUS OUTCOMES: Data from the 2024 Spring Florida Assessment of Student Thinking (FAST) testing for Grades K-2 shows that thirty percent of students are scoring at the lowest proficiency level. Fifty percent of students in Grades K-2 are scoring at proficiency or higher. EXPECTED OUTCOMES: Scores across K-2 grades would show that only 20 percent of students would be at the lowest proficiency level on the spring testing in 2026, with at least 55 percent of all students tested scoring at proficiency or higher as measured by the FAST. RECOMMENDATION: That the Board approve Agreement #25123-XMT-EST: Amplify Education, Inc. for the use of the DIBELS program in Grades K-5 English Language Arts.

Consent Agenda Subject 1.04 Dual Enrollment Articulation Agreement with the University of South Florida (USF) Board of Trustees for the 2025-2026 Academic Year (Academic Services) Meeting Jun 2, 2025 - Regular School Board Meeting Type Action (Consent) Recommended Action Approve the Dual Enrollment Articulation Agreement with the USF Board of Trustees for the 2025-2026 academic year. Goals Academic Excellence DESCRIPTION : The program covered under this agreement is USF dual enrollment. Dual enrollment course offerings allow qualifying secondary students to enroll in high school and college to enhance their learning in courses that meet educational, career, and personal needs. Students may earn up to 30 credit hours per year in the program, which shortens the time necessary to complete degree requirements. Dual enrollment course offerings provide greater academic options and considerable financial savings for students and families. Pursuant to Florida Statute 1007.271(21), this agreement is reviewed and completed annually by the postsecondary institution and school district and submitted to the State Board of Education before August 1. GAP ANALYSIS : The dual enrollment articulation agreement with USF provides students opportunities to be engaged in rigorous academic programs while in high school to ensure they will succeed in advanced-level courses in their postsecondary college and career opportunities. PREVIOUS OUTCOMES: Hillsborough County Public Schools (HCPS) students enrolled in 519 credit hours through the USF dual enrollment or early admission programs during the 2024-2025 school year. Approximately 50 HCPS students were enrolled in traditional dual enrollment or an early admission option at USF during the 2024-2025 school year. EXPECTED OUTCOMES: HCPS will continue to support dual enrollment opportunities throughout the district and increase awareness for students and parents. At the end of the 2025-2026 school year, we will evaluate the program by the number of credit hours earned by participating students. RECOMMENDATION: That the Board approve the Dual Enrollment Articulation Agreement with USF Board of Trustees for the 2025-2026 academic year.

Goals Academic Excellence DESCRIPTION : This agreement covers roles and responsibilities by both USF and Hillsborough County Public Schools (HCPS) in the process of the Early Admission option for eligible students. Eligibility requirements for students are also provided within this agreement. According to 1007.271, Florida Statutes, Subsection 10, early admission is a form of dual enrollment through which eligible secondary students enroll in a postsecondary institution on a full-time basis in courses that are creditable toward the high school diploma and the associate or baccalaureate degree. A student must enroll in a minimum of 12 college credit hours per semester or the equivalent to participate in the early admission program; however, a student may not be required to enroll in more than 15 college credit hours per semester or the equivalent. Students enrolled pursuant to this subsection are exempt from the payment of registration, tuition, and laboratory fees and textbooks. GAP ANALYSIS : The Early Admission Articulation Agreement with USF provides eligible students opportunities to be engaged in rigorous academic programs while in high school with a full-time enrolled option in a postsecondary college or university. PREVIOUS OUTCOMES: There were six HCPS students that took advantage of Early Admission opportunities at USF during the 2024-2025 school year. Those six HCPS students were enrolled in approximately 160 credit hours through participation in USF early admission programs during the 2024-2025 school year, with students earning A’s and B’s during the fall term. EXPECTED OUTCOMES: HCPS will continue to support early admissions opportunities throughout the district and increase awareness to students and parents. At the end of the 2025-2026 school year, we will evaluate the program by the number of credit hours and grades earned by participating students. RECOMMENDATION: That the Board approve the Early Admission Dual Enrollment Articulation Agreement with the USF Board of Trustees for the 2025-2026 academic year.

Consent Agenda Subject 1.07 Agreement #25146-DSA-EST: Advancement Via Individual Determination (AVID) Center (Academic Services) Meeting Jun 2, 2025 - Regular School Board Meeting Type Action (Consent) Recommended Action Approve Agreement #25146-DSA-EST: AVID Center. Goals Academic Excellence DESCRIPTION : This agreement has been developed for the next three school years (2025-2026, 2026-2027, 2027-2028) to continue the program implementation of AVID’s college and career readiness framework, which will include 86 school sites. This agreement outlines member roles, materials, and fees associated with the AVID Center to include membership cost, AVID Summer Institute, and professional learning. A list of participating schools is attached as a part of the quote/order. Per F.A.C. 6A-1.012(11)(b), the requirement for requesting competitive solicitations for commodities or contractual services from three or more sources is hereby waived as authorized by Section 1010.04(4)(a), F.S., for the purchase by district school boards of educational services and any type of copyrighted materials, and for library and reference books, and printed library cards, where such materials are purchased directly from the producer or publisher, the owner of the copyright, an exclusive agent within the state, a governmental agency or a recognized educational institution. GAP ANALYSIS : In the 18 years Hillsborough County Public Schools (HCPS) has been an AVID district, there continues to be a strong number of students who select this elective, 8,830 at the secondary level, proving further that AVID is more than just a class, it is a family and a safety net for students. This agreement will continue to support the AVID elective courses by providing teachers with professional learning, online opportunities, and resources. AVID programs will be offered in 29 high schools, 38 middle schools, 9 elementary schools, 10 K-8 schools, and 1 career center. AVID impacts roughly 11,400 HCPS students at our AVID secondary schools and select grade-levels at AVID elementary sites, not including the 6th grade students who are exposed to AVID through the 6th grade elective wheel. At our secondary sites, there are approximately 565 sections of AVID being taught. This agreement will allow for continued program expansion for the number of students impacted through the AVID elective and AVID schoolwide. PREVIOUS OUTCOMES: AVID creates a positive culture with the expectation of rigor and the opportunity for college and career readiness for all students. With focus on leadership, systems, instruction and culture, the AVID program is designed to prepare students for postsecondary success. According to data provided by AVID Center for the 2024 HCPS AVID senior class: 100 percent graduated from high school; 70 percent applied to a 4-year college or university; 59 percent were accepted into a 4-year college or university; 40 percent plan on attending a 2-year college or technical school, and 92 percent completed 4-year college requirements. Of those seniors, 33 percent are first-generation college-bound students, 71 percent are on Free and Reduced Lunch, and 20 percent are English Language learners. HCPS middle school AVID data for 2024 reflects the following: 36 percent of AVID 8th graders were enrolled in Algebra 1 or higher; 47 percent completed a high school level course other than math, and 91 percent of 8th graders in 2024 took the Preliminary Scholastic Aptitude Test (PSAT). EXPECTED OUTCOMES: With the approval of this AVID agreement, we expect to support sites with an increase in student exposure to AVID strategies and methodologies that will support them in rigorous coursework. For secondary sites, this will include the following: AVID student recruitment profile, student scheduling in rigorous courses (honors, Cambridge Advanced International Certificate of Education/AICE, dual enrollment, and Advanced Placement), engaging leadership, and the use of Writing/Inquiry/ Collaboration/Organization/Reading strategies and vertical articulation. For elementary sites, this will include an increased effort to bridge elementary to middle school transitions, increase in instructional use of AVID strategies into day-to-day curriculum, and increased awareness of college and career options. RECOMMENDATION: That the Board approve A greement #25146-DSA-EST: AVID Center.

Consent Agenda Subject 1.08 Purchase of Previously Adopted Instructional Materials for K-5 Music for Gap Years 2025-2026 and 2026-2027 (Academic Services) Meeting Jun 2, 2025 - Regular School Board Meeting Type Action (Consent) Recommended Action Approve the purchase of previously adopted instructional materials for K-5 music for gap years 2025-2026 and 2026-2027. Goals Academic Excellence DESCRIPTION : In 2021, the Board approved the adoption and purchase of the instructional materials titled, Quaver Music, through the 2024-2025 school year. Approval is requested to extend the implementation of this material for gap years 2025-2026 and 2026-2027. The state adoption process for K-5 music is scheduled for review during the 2025-2026 school year. It is anticipated that the district will conduct an adoption review for K-5 music during the 2026-2027 school year. This purchase will continue digital access for teachers to high-quality resources for music education, lesson plans, activities, and support training. In accordance with the Florida Department of Educational Purchasing Policy 6A-1.012(11)(b), the requirement for requesting competitive solicitations for commodities or contractual services from three or more sources is hereby waived as authorized by Section 1010.04(4)(a), F.S., for the purchase of educational services and any type of copyrighted materials including, without limitation, educational tests, textbooks, printed instructional materials, computer software, films, filmstrips, videotapes, dvds, disc or tape recordings, digital recordings, or similar audio-visual materials, and for library and reference books, and printed library cards where such materials are purchased directly from the producer, publisher, or the owner of the copyright, an exclusive agent within the state, a governmental agency or a recognized educational institution. GAP ANALYSIS : Due to the Florida Instructional Materials Adoption Schedule for music, an additional two-year gap purchase is requested to provide teachers with uninterrupted access to digital music instructional materials previously adopted in 2021. These materials are aligned to the Florida Standards. PREVIOUS OUTCOMES: Grades K-5 music teachers had access to these digital materials under the original adoption and were able to utilize materials to provide standards-based music lessons and instruction. A recent teacher survey clearly indicates that this digital instructional material is highly effective in supporting classroom instruction and in meeting individual student and teacher needs.

Approval is requested to extend the implementation of these materials for gap years 2025-2026 and 2026-2027. The state adoption process for K-5 art is scheduled for review during the 2025-2026 school year.
