Other Items
External Support/Booster Organizations Approval for 2016 – 17 School Year
External support/booster organizations are adult/parent organizations established to promote school
programs or complement student groups or activities, (i.e. PTA, PTO, booster organizations,
etc…) An external support/booster organization’s purpose may be to support a student group or
program at a particular school or various student groups or programs at various schools, Even though
an external support/booster organization works very closely with the district, it is a separate legal entity
and is responsible for adherence to IRS guidelines and Title IX regulations. External support/booster
organizations must receive local board approval to establish, lend support, seek assistance, or fundraise
in the name of the district, school, students, or a district or school program. The following
organizations have completed all required paperwork and have requested district approval:
Beechgrove PTA
Caywood PTA
Dixie Band Boosters
DHHS Colonel Club (DX)
Kenton Elem PTA
Lady Pioneer Soccer Boosters (SK)

V. DISCUSSION AND ACTION:
1. Board Policy Update – 1st Reading
Enc. 11
As part of their update service, the Kentucky School Board Association (KSBA) recently submitted a
packet of policy revisions to be considered in response to the most recent legislative session. At the
top is a brief explanation for the proposed change. Additional or new language in policies is
highlighted and underlined and language with strike through is deleted. Staff members, in consultation
with the Board Attorney, have studied the update package and have recommended the policies to adopt
as proposed or adopt with modifications. Handwritten notations reflect the work of district staff.
This is the first reading.
2. Appointment of Certified Employee to Teacher Evaluation Appeal Panel
KRS 156.557 (6) states “The local board of education shall establish an evaluation appeals panel for
certified personnel that shall consist of two (2) members elected by the certified employees of the district
and one (1) member appointed by the board of education who is a certified employee of the board.”
Recommendation: It is recommended that Board of Education appoint Barb Martin to the district
appeals panel for the 2016-17 school year.
3. FRYSC SFY17 Contract
Enc. 12
The Memorandum of Agreement between the Commonwealth of Kentucky and the Kenton County Board
of Education provides for the administration of the Family Resource and Youth Services Centers program
in the district. According to the contract, the Kenton County School District will be provided funds to
employ a full time center coordinator to be responsible for the provision of both core and optional

5. New Energy Technology Contract Extension
The current contract in place with New Energy Technology (NET) is set to expire on June 30, 2016. The
current contract agreement covers the service and maintenance agreement for the Energy Center that we
have established in eighteen school locations. The management at NET has agreed to continue the service
agreement for the same rate that was established through the initial selection process. The fee for each
location is $2,000 for an annual cost of $36,000.
In addition, New Energy Technology, Inc. will utilize high-school students as the RCM Interns who work
on the project assisting in the continued growth of Kenton County School District’s high-performance
energy conservation culture.
Recommendation: It is recommended that the Kenton County Board of Education approve the
contract extension with New Energy Technology from July 1, 2016 through June 30, 2017 for a total
annual cost of $36,000.00.
6. Energy Center Software Upgrade
Staff is recommending a software upgrade and modification to the current Energy Center program. The
recommended changes will customize the current program and incorporate lessons learned through the
RCM Intern program. The software modifications will institutionalize the operating procedures for each
school building.
Each school has a different HVAC system, lighting equipment, insulation, and also maintain different
operating schedules. The proposed changes will establish the optimal operating position for all operating
modes: standard school day, after school hours, weekends and holidays, heating season, cooling season,
breaks with staff present and no students, etc. These changes will incorporate the best practice operating
settings for each location and establish a seamless transition with staff turnover. This new upgrade will
also incorporate an interface with School Dude Facility Direct scheduling software and auto-populate the
Energy Center with activities added to the evening and weekend calendar.
The RCM Intern initiative saved $126,273 over the seven month period ending May 16th. Our goal is to
maintain the lessons learned from this program and improve upon the current level of success.
The cost of the software upgrades is $40,000.
Recommendation: It is recommended that the Kenton County Board of Education approve the
purchase of software upgrades to the Energy Center in the amount of $40,000.
