Kern said the district received a $72,000 safety and security grant through the Ohio Attorney General and noted a $10,000 locally funded grant for a youth-to-youth program. He also said an agency identified in the transcript as “Odoo” had recently reallocated unused federal funds (Title I, LEP and others) to the district; that reallocation increased the district’s appropriation amounts but left the district with limited time to obligate the funds.

Kern reviewed several donations (including PTO gifts and a Rom Rominali Memorial Scholarship fund contribution), a transfer related to closing out Scioto’s class of 2024 funds into class of 2025, and an agreement with a fiscal software consortium described in the transcript as “Meta agreement” to provide services and support. He also said the district remains on track for the year and will present a five-year forecast at the board’s first May meeting and final appropriations at the June meeting.

Operations Director Stark told the board the Aramark renewal includes a $276,000 subsidy to maintain current meal-service levels amid rising food prices. He said the district has held prices down for several years and that the subsidy is lower than a previous vendor’s subsidy.

On roofing, Stark said Mays — a consulting and engineering firm the district has used to review warranties and design roofing replacements — is being recommended to design new roofs and produce bidding documents for several schools. He described multiple roofs from the early 2000s that are approaching replacement and said Mays’ assessments for Thomas and Wright elementary schools could lead to additional bids next year.

Stark recommended renewing preventive-maintenance HVAC services with Spare Mechanical (the transcript referenced “Spare/Spirit/Spare”), citing the company’s capacity to handle 23 buildings and 24/7 needs; the renewal was described as approximately $171,000 for the preventative-maintenance work.

The review estimated that the top 1–2% of students (about 48 fourth-graders across the district) are in the gifted range used for some identification practices, and noted the district will not change core specialized learning center (SLC) services for students with the most significant disabilities. The review highlighted two primary priorities: extra learning time and additional behavior support.

A district staff member involved in the review said extra learning time means students who need intervention should receive most of their core instruction from their classroom teacher and then receive specially designed instruction outside of the core, plus additional small-group instruction targeted by skill. “By adjusting the way we schedule students and staff, we can find time to do this and eliminate as many situations as possible where students on IEPs are getting their minutes by being pulled out of reading or math class,” the presenter said.

On behavior supports the presenter said the district plans to reallocate staff and add another behavior analyst next year to work with students who have the most significant behavioral challenges and to support families and classroom teachers. “By adding, we can support these kids, give them more intensive...support,” the presenter said.

Board members asked about English-learner staffing. A board member asked whether the two EL coordinator positions under consideration would be mirror roles or specialized. District staff said they presently plan to have one coordinator focused on elementary and one on secondary, though they would consider different configurations depending on candidate strengths.

Human Resources later presented personnel recommendations that included candidates for EL coordinator roles: Oscar Carvallo Neto (recommended as one EL coordinator) and Dr. Pete Curti (recommended as EL director), as well as related administrative moves. The HR slate and related certified contracts were part of a separate HR action approved later in the meeting.

The review did not recommend immediate changes to the specialized learning centers for students with the most significant disabilities; staff said parents of those students “may not see changes” resulting from this program review. The presentation concluded with a commitment to annual updates as the district phases in recommendations.","A program review examined gifted services, special education and English-learner supports and recommended targeted extra learning time and an additional behavior analyst; the district plans to add a second EL coordinator position.",{"_33":112,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":113,"_41":114,"_43":115,"_45":116,"_47":117,"_49":118,"_51":119,"_53":120,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":121,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":122,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6274289,"Dublin City Schools to launch full-day kindergarten; officials outline logistics",1107,872000,1979000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2993515-0f983c7b5d953075b9aa4ae2f97792c9&start=872&end=1979","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2993515-0f983c7b5d953075b9aa4ae2f97792c9/thumbnail_872000.jpg","/articles/6274289/Ohio/Dublin-City-Schools-to-launch-full-day-kindergarten-officials-outline-logistics","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6274289-938af6b2c8ae48450dfe61a1ebb1f62a/orig.mp4?Expires=1771176067&Signature=Tp0FL5e5WMChyoayFhUasap~40mVXWd5JBj1XeyAA8pPe67AF3Mv5FrB4Ro1hXam4UnqvO4lW-FTkjGNyFQ3mZPf1bKQa3hO8JwqAmGe46-2RPE7Cf2adZYOfYPf6DuEmx8GdwEGF3Xc-tjTDjMNE-Th5HwfTkklzkmpknOsMjp7Unbqa3mswCX7rnP8AqWpXxmfHb9eb2-JoLBJTGpA~4YAGBT7GAzXcYMkUsA~BXGm095N2PWcSh2UT0sCB5UD9Wh8S57sjv0bS56r4jm7AriJNzmuIOjYw9nivyRc9e8FxrSNXLydaLRDuP7vgCTuPq-sB9oFZOTUs7BpiAtWwQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Dublin City Schools officials told the Board of Education that the district will implement full-day kindergarten in the coming school year and outlined operational changes to support the expansion.

District leaders said the voter-approved levy plus the opening of Bishop Elementary freed classroom space needed to move from half-day to full-day kindergarten. Administrators described classroom reallocation, summer assessments, transportation and staffing plans that they say are intended to preserve class balance and increase early-literacy and numeracy instruction.

Laurie Marple, the district staff member leading kindergarten planning, told the board the implementation process began with a planning retreat in October and included visits to nearby districts that already operate full-day programs. “Preparing for the implementation of full day kindergarten has been an exciting and collaborative process for us in Dublin City Schools,” Marple said. Samantha Althouse, the director of elementary principal leadership, worked with principals and teachers to reallocate classrooms and plan staffing.

Vanessa Olinger, principal of the preschool building, described the district’s enrollment rule for kindergarten: “the only rule is that you have to be 5 by September 30.” Olinger said incoming students will have widely varied early experiences and that the district has planned family information nights with bilingual aides, phase-in days (staggered starts for small groups) and classroom accommodations for varied language and special needs.

Melissa Garris, principal of Thomas Elementary, described logistical changes schools must make, including routing all kindergartners to ride buses both morning and afternoon, adding staffed lunch periods for kindergarten, and scheduling related-arts (PE, art, music, library) for all kindergartners. She said full-day schedules will allow teachers more time for small-group instruction and for fuller implementation of the district math curriculum (Bridal).

The district plans summer assessment appointments in the last two weeks of July to screen speech, hearing, vision and foundational literacy and numeracy skills; administrators said those results will help create balanced class lists. Marple said two professional development sessions are planned before school: a full day for kindergarten teachers and a half day for related-arts teachers.

District officials said staffing changes include offering part-time kindergarten teachers opportunities to convert to full-time and reallocating positions made available by retirements at higher grade levels. Administrators said they expect higher kindergarten enrollment in part because of the new program, and they used historical projections with a buffer to plan classroom counts.

Officials emphasized that foundations for purposeful play and early interventions are part of the design, and that building-specific details (playgrounds, lunch schedules and class sizes) will vary by school. No formal board vote was required for the presentation; the items related to hiring and summer programming were included later on the HR agenda.","District leaders described planning steps for implementing full-day kindergarten in the fall, including classroom reallocation enabled by the new Bishop Elementary, bus and lunch logistics, summer assessments and teacher professional development.","actionData","errors"]
