PURPOSE OF PRESENTATION: Staff seeks approval of School Construction Budget Amendment #22-18.
BACKGROUND/SUMMARY: Budget Amendment #22-18 cancels the New Midway Elementary Security Vestibule SSGP21 project with the state and the county. FCPS decided not to move forward with the New Midway Security Vestibule Project because we could not gain approval of the design from the authority having jurisdiction (AHJ) due to the request for significant additional construction activities to support the AHJ’s code requirements. These design requirements would have significantly increased the construction costs and would have severely impacted the current project budget. More importantly, the Security and Emergency Management Department indicated that the additional work activities would not improve the current security conditions at the school. FCPS submitted the request to cancel the project with the Interagency Commission on School Construction (IAC), which was approved on June 1, 2022.
The state funds will be reverted back to the state and will be available for future FCPS projects. The county funds will be transferred into the BOE Unallocated project and will be available for future FCPS projects.
This budget transfer is consistent with terms and conditions for capital budget transfers included in the Memorandum of Understanding signed by the County Commissioners and Board of Education dated May 30, 2013.

PURPOSE OF PRESENTATION: To seek Board of Education acceptance of the American Rescue Plan Homeless II Grant.
BACKGROUND/SUMMARY: Frederick County Public Schools (FCPS) has been awarded a $362,840 Homeless II Grant from the Maryland State Department of Education (MSDE) as part of the American Rescue Plan (ARP) of 2021.
School closure, distance learning and the pandemic have resulted in an underidentification of homeless children and youth by FCPS. Our experience reflects a state and national trend. To date this school year, FCPS has identified and served 955 students experiencing homelessness. The ARP Homeless II grant funds will allow us to expand our identification efforts, collaborate with community partners and provide programming to ensure that we are supporting children and youth who are housing insecure.
To facilitate our identification of students experiencing homelessness, FCPS will use ARP Homeless II grant funds to hire a McKinney-Vento Service Navigator. The Service Navigator will have the primary responsibility for conducting outreach to identify and engage or re-engage McKinney-Vento eligible students. The Service Navigator will work directly with FCPS schools and community partners to identify McKinney-Vento eligible students and develop a coordinated entry system to quickly and equitably connect students and families with wraparound services. In addition, hourly paid support workers will be hired to assist the Service Navigator.
ARP Homeless II funds will be used to support the New Horizons Summer Academy through the purchase of supplies for students and the funding of an English Learner teacher and life skills teachers to work in the summer 2022 program.
FCPS will use ARP Homeless II funds to contract with community-based organizations to provide emergency housing and immigration-related legal services for McKinney-Vento eligible students as well as enrichment programming for highly transient students in the Frederick City limits. FCPS will also contract with a community-based organization to conduct a community-wide needs assessment on children and youth experiencing homeless in Frederick County.
Grant funds will be used to provide emergency supplies to students (e.g., clothing, personal hygiene, technology), as well as car seats and booster seats to assist with transporting parenting McKinney-Vento eligible students.
Lastly, grant funds will also be used to support the repurposing of the McKinney-Vento Program Administrator’s position to Coordinator as well as hourly paid administrative grant support.
Acceptance of this $362,840 grant from MSDE does not obligate FCPS to expend additional local resources.
Staff recommends acceptance of this grant.
PROCESS STATEMENT: According to FCPS Regulation 500-21, all grant awards over $50,000 must be accepted by the Board of Education.

PURPOSE OF PRESENTATION: To seek Board of Education acceptance of an Equipment Assistance Grant.
BACKGROUND/SUMMARY: Frederick County Public Schools (FCPS) has been awarded a $70,330 Equipment Assistance Grant from the Maryland State Department of Education to support Food and Nutrition Services.
Grant funds will be used to purchase two double convection steamers for Hillcrest Elementary School. These are replacement pieces of equipment; the steamers that are currently at Hillcrest Elementary are well beyond their average life expectancy. New double steamers will allow Food and Nutrition Services to prepare healthy, nutrient-dense meals using frozen food and fresh, locally-sourced food. In addition, the convenience of a double steamer allows Food and Nutrition Services to utilize batch cooking for back-to-back lunch periods at Hillcrest Elementary.
In addition, grant funds will also be used to purchase a new serving line for Crestwood Middle School. This unit will streamline the serving process at Crestwood Middle and will include a five-well hot unit, a flat-top cold unit, a flat-top counter and a new cashier stand. The five-well hot unit will allow Food and Nutrition Services to expand its menu offerings; the flat-top cold unit will provide students with easier access to cold fruits and vegetables; and the flat-top counter will allow for the display of a la carte items.
Acceptance of this $70,330 grant will not obligate FCPS to expend additional local resources.

PURPOSE OF PRESENTATION: To seek Board of Education acceptance of the Pre-Kindergarten (Pre-K) Expansion Grant.
BACKGROUND/SUMMARY: Frederick County Public Schools (FCPS) has been awarded a $3,076,977 grant from the Maryland State Department of Education (MSDE) to support the addition of prekindergarten seats for 280 four-year old children.
Pre-K services will include a full-day session (6.5 hours), five days a week, in a 180-day school year that aligns with the FCPS calendar. Elementary schools to be served include Butterfly Ridge (40 seats), Hillcrest (80 seats), Lincoln (60 seats), Spring Ridge (30 seats), Waverley (40 seats) and Thurmont Primary (30 seats).
An essential component of the Pre-K Expansion Grant is expanding seats from half-day to full-day. Students attending the six targeted schools represent a diverse population with many students qualifying for Pre-K through family income limitations. Data demonstrates that full day programming increases student achievement, social development and school readiness. Kindergarten Readiness Data also indicates that students enrolled in full-day Pre-K outperform their peers in half-day programs.
If accepted by the Board of Education, FCPS will use Pre-K Expansion Grant funds for the following:
Acceptance of this $3,076,977 grant does not obligate FCPS to expend additional local resources.

PURPOSE OF PRESENTATION:
The purpose of the presentation is to update the Board of Education of Frederick County, along with our community, on changing accountability requirements per the Maryland State Department of Education (MSDE) that impact our high school students.
BACKGROUND/SUMMARY:
In October 2018, the MSDE Board of Education commissioned the High School Graduation Task Force to review the entire set of graduation requirements, including assessments. Per MSDE, a recommendation was made to remove the “pass” requirement to the high school assessments and rather to shift the assessment to an end of course assessment that would contribute to 20% of a student’s grade in the related course being taken for credit. MSDE recently shared this was slated to start in the 2023-2024 school year. In addition, The Blueprint for Maryland Schools legislation has set forth a requirement that all students are tested for College and Career Readiness (CCR) by the end of 10th grade in both reading and math. The ultimate outcome is that the English and Math State Assessments for high school will serve as a CCR measure in the Blueprint, while the Government and Biology State Assessments for high school are planned to contribute to 20% of a student’s final course grade.
PROCESS STATEMENT:
In recent months, as staff have attempted to get answers from MSDE regarding the logistics of this plan, significant questions and concerns have been raised with MSDE staff regarding the End of Course approach including timing, logistics, impact on student grades and GPA, scheduling implications, and communication with families. Staff wish to update the FCPS Board of Education on these endeavors and the impact on our students and families.
