INQUIRIES/UPDATES

1. Member Messer – attended the Business Advisory Council Meeting last week. The State of Ohio now has in the statute

that this Advisory Council will be an official body that supports the school district. I will provide the statute to the board

following this meeting. Several questions where shared with the Council:

We need to align what that actually means.

What the charter is for the group? So they understand what’s on the charter and how they fit.

How does it relates to what CPS anticipates being and how they fit?

In addition to the people that where there, who else needs to be brought into the meeting?

2. Member Bates – discuss with the Finance Committee the possibility of engaging our current governmental relations

consultants and include their work or have local government included in their work. In particular education and

engagement around CRA Agreements.

3. Member Moroski – is it common practice that we do random searches in schools?

ASSIGNMENTS

Please note the following assignments:

1. Administration – determine if, out of the district enrollment has any positive financial impact on the district.

2. Policy Committee, General Counsel – Policy 2416 is in regards to “Student Privacy and Parental Access to Information”,

it has come to my attention that in schools that have School Based Health Centers they are allowed to survey regarding

mental health issues and be able to be proactive with some students. Requesting the Policy Committee to take a hard look

at Policy 2416 and see what the possibility of broadening the parameters of collecting student information from all

schools, not just the ones that have a health center.

3. Administration – updated numbers on the Transport Data Request dated 10-23-18. Metro, Charters for High Schools is

this list still current? Are we using Metro or are we using other ways to transport those students in schools that have a

small number of students attending?

4. Administration – to have a fresh look at the overall routing system with the High Schools, Parochial, Charter and Private

systems in mind.

5. Administration – present to the board on February 25th

the formal recommendation as to what program will take place in

the Mercy building in the coming years and provide an understanding in an overall view of accommodating the important

Montessori cliental on the Westside and present a package of the Westside plan and what will happen to Gamble.
