Item 11 May 24, 2017

Student Trustee Report

Tenzin Shomar

Introduction As we move towards the end of the school year, I am constantly reminded of the fantastic things that our students are doing each day. For example, drama students at Kenner Collegiate Vocational Institute have written a play which is centered on the LGBTQ community called “A Tale of Two Kingdoms” which will be playing tomorrow evening. Students at Clarington Central Secondary School are holding their annual #OwnYourEd conference today, which includes a number of different exhibits and workshops, many of which are run by current Clarington Central Secondary School students. Finally, students from Bowmanville High School who recently went on a trip to Tanzania have been taking a leadership role and advocating Clarington Municipal Council to purchase water bottle stations for local events. As we can see, our students are truly phenomenal and are enriching our communities every single day. Student Leadership Conference On May 5, 2017 secondary students from across the school board took part in a leadership conference organized by the Student Leadership Group at Fleming College. Students were able to take part in a number of different workshops, all centered around the theme of “Be You”. Chris D’souza was the keynote speaker and he delivered an impactful message on the importance of equity and inclusion. The whole day was absolutely phenomenal and I would like to thank Jeff Watt, Cathleen Martherus, staff, and students for their tireless work in the success of the conference. Ontario Student Trustees’ Association The Ontario Student Trustees’ Association (OSTA) will be meeting for the final time this school year from May 25-28, 2017 at the Renaissance Toronto Downtown Hotel. This will be my last conference that I will attend as Student Trustee, but I know that the friendships and wonderful experiences that I’ve formed with OSTA will last for many years to come. Having said that, I look forward to introducing Student Trustee-elect Dakota Livingston to the organization where she will undoubtedly represent KPR students well at the provincial level. Conclusion I would like to conclude by wishing Director Hick nothing but the best as he begins the next chapter of his life. Director Hick has been the Director of Education for nearly all of my years in the education system and I’m incredibly proud that he was my Director. His passion for students and public education cannot be understated and our Board is a better place because of his sound leadership. On behalf of all students in the Kawartha Pine Ridge District School Board, I want to thank Director Hick for his years of service to the Board and wish him well in his new role as the Executive Director of OPSBA.

Student Trustee INITIATOR: Tenzin Shomar, Student Trustee BACKGROUND 1. At the September 28, 2016 Chairpersons’ Committee Meeting, administration

presented a report recommending that Policy B-1.5, Student Trustee, be reviewed.

2. At the February 1, 2017 Chairpersons’ Committee Meeting the following

recommendation was adopted:

“That Board Policy B-1.5, Student Trustee, be approved as revised.” 3. At the February 23, 2017 Regular Board Meeting, the following motion was

adopted:

“That Board Policy B-1.5, Student Trustee, be referred back to the Student Leadership Group for further consultation (Appendix A).”

STATUS 4. On May 9, 2017, a survey was sent to all secondary schools. By May 12, 2017,

two secondary schools responded to the survey. An email was sent out on May 15, 2017, reminding secondary schools to respond to the survey. At the time of writing this report, four additional secondary schools have responded.

5. At the time of writing this report, the following schools have responded to the

survey: Adam Scott Collegiate and Vocational Institute, Bowmanville High School, Campbellford District High School, Cobourg Collegiate Institute, Clarington Central Secondary School, and Kenner Collegiate Vocational Institute.

6. The following question was asked on the survey:

“As representatives of our student body, we have discussed the issue of a second Student Trustee in KPR. As representatives of our school, we are…”

* Revised Item 12.2.4 May 24, 2017 Student Leadership Group Consultation On Board Policy B-1.5, Student Trustee Page 2

8. If “undecided” was given as an answer, the following follow-up question was

asked:

“Please ask any further questions you need answered or explain why you are not in favour of a second Student Trustee.”

9. When answering the first question, all six schools stated that they were in

support of two student trustee positions. 10. No responses were received for the second question.

11. It is clear from the survey results that students are in favour of an additional

student trustee position. An additional position will offer the board more insight into the distinct geographical differences within our board and will ensure that more students are represented at the board table. In addition, a two student trustee system will allow the student trustees to collaborate on different student leadership initiatives throughout the school year for the entire board.

Regrets: Trustee Anthony Caruso (Committee Vice-chairperson). Correspondence Chris Arnew, Superintendent of Business and Corporate Services, summarized information provided in Ministry of Education Memorandum 2017: B04, Grants for Student Needs (GSN) changes, for 2017-2018. The memorandum includes details of significant policy and funding changes for 2017-2018. 2017-2018 Budget Administration presented a Draft Operating Budget for 2017-2018 for consideration by Trustees. Superintendent Arnew extended appreciation to the Finance team for their work compiling the budget information. Appreciation was also extended to Trustees for their feedback from the previous meeting, noting that the Draft Budget is supportive of the priorities of the Trustees. Superintendent Arnew, explained that the balanced Draft Budget has allocated current resources to best meet the needs of students, and address Board strategic priorities and initiatives. The Draft Budget is in compliance with Ministry of Education requirements, including spending the full Special Education allocation; and not spending more than 101% of the operating allocation. The approved Budget must be submitted to the Ministry by June 30, 2017. Superintendent Arnew, and Bruce Hamilton, Controller, Business and Corporate Services, reviewed the Draft Budget Manual with the committee, highlighting significant year over year changes. Enrolment schedules providing data by grade and school were provided, indicating a projected year over year reduction of 232 ADE in the secondary panel, offset by an increase of 478 ADE in the elementary panel. The net result is year over year growth for the Board in 2017-2018, and expected stability as the increasing elementary number fully makes its way into secondary over the next 24 months.

Item 15.2 May 24, 2017 BUDGET COMMITTEE REPORT Page 2

Total revenue year over year reflects an increase of $13,941,642, with total revenue for 2017-2018 budgeted at $402,413,937. The 2017-2018 expenditures total is $400,064,610. This represents an increase over the previous year of $13,563,108, largely due to increases to salaries and benefits as provided in the 2017-2018 GSN release, additional local priorities funding as part of the learning opportunities grant, and an increase in qualification and experience funding. Administration responded to trustee questions of clarification throughout the review, addressing issues related to staffing changes, school clerical allotment, summer school, leadership and development, and other matters. The committee discussed the budget challenges associated with sick leave provisions among all employee groups. As is the case for school boards across the province, current funding is not keeping pace with the impact of these provisions. This year alone a shortfall of over $5M resulting from employee absenteeism is projected. Larry Piccinin, Senior Manager, Human Resource Services, explained the processes that Human Resource Services have in place to manage employee absenteeism. The 2017-2018 budgeted Special Education amount continues to exceed funding as an identified Board priority. Superintendent Jennifer Leclerc explained that thirteen Educational Assistants and Child and Youth Workers have been added to the system, to reflect a model to meet the needs of the students. Committee members agreed to discuss the remainder of the Draft 2017-2018 Budget at the next committee meeting. Future Committee Meeting Dates The committee reviewed future meeting dates as listed on the agenda. The next meeting date is May 29, 2017. RECOMMENDATION 1. That the Budget Committee Report, dated May 24, 2017, be received for

information. Sarah Bobka Committee Chairperson

(Committee Chairperson), C. Dickson and J. Klassen Jeninga. Trustee D. Lloyd attended via audio conference. Regrets: Trustees S. Bobka (Vice-chairperson of the Board) and S. Patterson. Others: Trustee A. Caruso, and J. Leclerc, G. Ingram, D. Severin and P. Jones

were also present. Student Success Initiatives: Secondary School Student Achievement, Modern Learning, and Dual Credits G. Ingram, Superintendent of Student Achievement, and D. Severin, Principal of Student Success, provided an overview of Student Success initiatives, including modern learning, dual credits and student achievement. It was reported that the support and extension of Modern Learning Environments are identified as a key area of focus in the KPRDSB Strategic Plan 2015-2018; specifically, creating innovative learning environments accelerated through the use of learning technologies. Over the past year, this area of focus has been supported in a variety of ways which include:

School based decisions related to technology upgrades and type of technology.

Implementation of Edsby as a district wide communication tool and parent engage platform. Implementation goals for this year included the use of the newsfeed, calendar, groups, classroom newsfeed and the assessment and evaluation tool for secondary teachers.

Technology and Learning Fund supports teacher initiated modern learning projects, consultant supported inquiry projects and New Pedagogies for Deep Learning schools.

Creation of a Learning Technology Advisory Committee consisting of principals, vice-principals, teachers (both panels), consultants and superintendents.

Development of a vision of modern learning for KPR. The Four Dimensions of Modern Learning were shared and committee members were engaged in various exercises to demonstrate some of the mechanisms currently being used to optimize learning conditions. It was indicated that modern learning is not just receiving new information, but creating learning by giving students choices that will inspire them to reach their full potential. We need to prepare students to be thinkers, communicators and collaborators.

Item 15.3 May 24, 2017 PROGRAM REVIEW COMMITTEE REPORT Page 2

D. Severin, Principal of Student Success, shared information regarding dual credit programs currently being offered in KPR. These programs are Ministry approved, and allow students while they are still in secondary school, to take college or apprenticeship courses that count towards both the Ontario Secondary School Diploma (OSSD) and a post-secondary certificate, diploma, degree or a Certificate of Apprenticeship. The primary focus is on students who have the potential to succeed at college but are at risk of not graduating from high school, and students who left high school before graduating and are now returning to school.

Students in Specialist High Skills Major (SHSM) programs and students in the Ontario Youth Apprenticeship Program (OYAP) are also eligible to participate in dual credit programs which are delivered in a variety of ways: college delivered at a college, college delivered at secondary schools, and team taught by college faculty and a secondary teacher. The School Within a College (SWAC) program is supported by a KPR teacher and college instructors, where students earn both high school and college credits. Success rates for the SWAC programs held at Durham and Fleming colleges are 98% and 100% respectively, with a total of 242 total credits earned and 26 OSSDs granted. Testimonials from students demonstrating the successes of these programs were shared with trustees.

It was reported that KPR is part of the Eastern Lakeshore Planning Team (ELRPT) that consists of four other school boards (Peterborough Victoria Northumberland Clarington Catholic, Trillium Lakelands, Durham, and Durham Catholic District School Boards) and three community colleges (Fleming, Durham, and Loyalist). In 2017-2018, KPR will have 1146 available course seats and will receive over $300,000 in funding. KPR has the most seats and the highest amount of funding within the ELRPT. Students enrolled in Dual Credit programs have a 96% success rate compared to the provincial rate of 93%. Superintendent of Student Achievement G. Ingram shared information specific to secondary student achievement overall, indicating that the provincial government initially had a graduation target rate of 75% which has since been increased to 85%. It was reported that for the most part, KPR has gone up 7%, which is the same as the provincial increase. However, when the province calculates the graduation rate, all students are counted, including those who will not be pursuing graduation (i.e. those in the Learning and Life Skills program), as well as those students who have left the Board. It was indicated that if these factors were taken into consideration, it would automatically bring the Board up to 84%. Additional information was provided to demonstrate how the achievement gap between academic and applied is being closed over time. Next steps include achieving excellence in applied courses, credit recovery curriculum design, summer school expansion of dual credit and cooperative education opportunities, lead teacher learning and focus, and connecting initiatives. Following discussion and questions of clarification, a motion was adopted that the Secondary School Student Achievement, Modern Learning, and Dual Credits report be received for information.

KAWARTHA PINE RIDGE DISTRICT SCHOOL BOARD FIRST NATIONS EDUCATION SERVICES AGREEMENT COMMITTEE The committee met on May 3, 2017, and reports as follows. ATTENDANCE Present: Trustee M. Lynch-Taylor (Committee Chairperson), K. MacMurray, N.

Marsden-Fox and L. Musgrave. Others: J. Nigro, C. Tozer, and R. Bonnetta were also present. Early Development Instrument (EDI) Catharine Tozer, Data Research and Accountability Officer, attended and provided information on the EDI. C. Tozer explained that this data collection survey tool is administered through the Ministry of Education. The survey is an eight page document provided to the teachers of each child in Senior Kindergarten (SK), in the province of Ontario, and aids in planning a variety of programs. This survey is administered every three years prior to March Break and will be completed again in the 2017-2018 school year. Parents are provided a letter of information that gives them an opportunity to discuss the process with the teacher, and/or opt out of their child’s participation. C. Tozer indicated that the Ministry of Education sends the results to both the Board and the Municipalities. J. Nigro, Superintendent of Education offered that the sharing of this data could be considered as a Service Agreement amendment, in the short term, to include a Letter of Understanding (regarding the sharing of EDI data), and to include as an agenda item for future Service Agreement negotiation meetings. Education Partnerships Program (EPP) Trustee M. Lynch-Taylor shared the EPP document as an information item and pointed out a change in this year's EPP Guideline that allows for applications to deal specifically with responses to the Truth and Reconciliation Commission calls, and that an opportunity might exist to better educate all students in the KPR system about the Williams Treaty if there is interest in a joint application for the next EPP funding deadline. The EPP is a proposal-based program designed to advance First Nation student achievement in First Nations and provincial schools and to promote collaboration between First Nations, provinces, Indigenous and Northern Affairs Canada and other stakeholders. Block Funded Communities Trustee M. Lynch-Taylor commented that some new Indigenous and Northern Affairs Canada education funding had not yet been directed to Block Funded First Nations, noting further, that the three local communities were funded this way. Karrie MacMurray stated that this was not a matter for FNESAC.

Nigro stated that communications continue to be ongoing, and that the First Nation Education Managers and Counsellors were encouraged to provide input regarding any key issues that would help reinforce, improve and support their work for sharing with the principals at any time outside of the scheduled FNESAC meetings. Circle Louise Musgrave spoke to the committee about the review needed for education staff, and an understanding of the protocol for each First Nation when approaching Chiefs and First Nation members. A review of the protocol and a decision to have it defined in the Service Agreements, and or separate communication from each First Nation will continue at the Fall FNESAC meeting.
