Dr. Putnam Jackson said the law requires that any district course or instruction addressing human growth, human development, or human sexuality include “a presentation of high quality computer generated animation or high definition ultrasound of at least 3 minutes in duration that shows the development of the brain, the heart, and other vital organs in early human fetal development.” She told the board the district charted every relevant course from elementary human-development modules through middle- and high-school courses and has identified where the mandated content will fit within the pacing guides.

“We have selected an opt out letter and a video,” Dr. Putnam Jackson said, describing the implementation steps. She explained the district plans to post the opt-out form and the video on the district website (with a QR code on the opt-out form), notify families several weeks in advance, and offer an alternative activity for students whose parents sign the opt-out.

District staff said they had worked with PE teachers, science teachers, and staff who teach human development-related lessons to identify appropriate placements within curricular units and that the chosen video resource is neutral and factual. The assistant superintendent said the video resource is translatable into multiple languages and that district practice will mirror existing opt-out procedures for other human-growth lessons.

Board members asked where the materials will appear on the website and the district confirmed the resources will be posted alongside other human-growth curriculum materials so parents can view the video and complete the opt-out form in advance.

The presentation was informational; administrators did not request board action at the meeting. Dr. Putnam Jackson said the district will use the opt-out process it already employs for comparable lessons and will provide parents an alternative activity for students who do not participate in the video presentation.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Derby - School Board","oneSentenceSummary","Derby Public Schools administrators outlined how the district will implement House Bill 2382’s requirement to include a three-minute ultrasound/animation in courses addressing human growth and development, using a neutral video resource and a parent opt-out process.","taxTitle","Derby, Sedgwick County, Kansas","taxId",56179,"location","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":76,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":77,"_41":78,"_43":79,"_45":80,"_47":81,"_49":82,"_51":83,"_53":84,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":85,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":86,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6492845,"Capacity study warns of growth at Cooper, Stone Creek and Wynter; district to form committees for facility planning",1208,2224000,3432000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5811819-c1090b8ec150fa20e272e961290a3474&start=2224&end=3432","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5811819-c1090b8ec150fa20e272e961290a3474/thumbnail_2224000.jpg","/articles/6492845/Derby/Sedgwick-County/Kansas/Capacity-study-warns-of-growth-at-Cooper-Stone-Creek-and-Wynter-district-to-form-committees-for-facility-planning","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6492845-7333b88a01b99e9ac54ceff793e8eb44/orig.mp4?Expires=1770523255&Signature=Yo-Bf7QBD1RIZkTk7ThjT1nlUZwnayo3qJDOb6evRVpauCbwFY7wh3IjxK7de5Bk1ojKVId41YkLSGl3fu0KgBTdAfEFMSmLIgnLbu5QNJacc~mT60SCH967qsyqBj5Ar0klUdPIUDY7msUYWoTyRz9KHCWhLejxRf5syp7W11~-zo~beRdGFXYxlM0gdhkspLybdmp8fsLJlBtHnGm8YiuLJ49PDsZq8fo-pHuSDqdnr1Iuyxw9gOcOZQDPE-EdQeyp7R6aq2Bc0hu-7WL~YzSEo5554g64YLG~UdchPkgPR3qm8uojLOIjfkSZY6NoMr0omPwq3YuzmnZOfxLUpQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Rob Schwartz, an RSP consultant working with Derby Public Schools, told the Board of Education on Sept. 22 that the district’s enrollment is forecast to rise over the next five years and that several elementary and middle-school buildings will face capacity pressures.

Schwartz said the capacity analysis in the consultant’s packet shows particular constraints at Cooper, Stone Creek and Wynter (the transcript spelling varied). He told the board the study uses a functional-capacity methodology that distinguishes core classrooms, elective/noncore spaces and program-specific rooms (special education, ELL, music) and that the way those rooms are used materially lowers effective capacity compared with a simple classroom-count method.

“Functionally that we can provide the right programming with the way the programming is being delivered to students,” Schwartz said, summarizing the capacity approach. He noted the report presents a current functional-capacity range for Stone Creek of about 474 to 534 students, and a districtwide functional-service capacity of roughly 8,400 students, and that repurposing some program spaces could raise building capacity but would require trade-offs with intervention and other support areas.

The consultant also reported about 2,200 shovel‑ready housing units in the district’s planning inventory and described variable yield rates by housing type (single-family, multifamily, mobile home parks). Schwartz said yields and the timing of new construction affect when students from new housing appear in the district rolls.

Board members asked procedural and technical questions about how the capacity metrics are calculated. Director of operations Burke Jones said the district would gather board questions by Wednesday ahead of a workshop scheduled for Sept. 29 and an October 1 kickoff for committee work to evaluate early learning, high-school CTE, student activities/athletics, and innovative facility options. The district plans student panels for high-school perspective as part of the process.

Schwartz and Jones emphasized that capacity numbers are fluid and that repurposing rooms can alleviate short-term pressures but may create instructional-space trade-offs. The RSP team toured nine facilities, reviewed demographic and development maps, and will return to support the board and committee planning.

Next steps outlined in the packet include: committee meetings beginning Oct. 1, a board workshop on Sept. 29 focused on site tours and visioning, and follow-up reports that will align enrollment projections, planning-area development, and capacity scenarios.

Why it matters: the capacity analysis will guide district decisions about whether to add wings, relocate programs, create an early-learning center, or resize school assignments; administrators said the board’s strategic priorities (early learning, special education, high-school CTE, athletics and innovation) will steer next steps.

What the board asked for: members requested clarifying details on the methodology, the list of planning-area developments, and how program repurposing would affect intervention spaces; administrators said they will collect questions and return answers at the workshop or in the Oct. 1 committee kickoff.","Consultant RSP told the Derby Board of Education the district should expect enrollment growth over the next five years, with capacity pressures at Cooper, Stone Creek and Wynter (middle/elementary).

The board approved updated facility-use regulations and a revised fee schedule after a committee review and a public discussion of rental categories and custodial fees. The board then approved two pilot programs for safety and visitor-management software — SlideSoft, a behavioral threat-assessment tool, and Hall Pass, a visitor-management/hall-pass system — that administrators said will be tested at Derby High School and Derby Hills Elementary, respectively.

Board members also cleared routine agenda items and committee and personnel reports, including approval of minutes and past hearings, multiple consent-agenda items (donations, out-of-state travel requests, textbook and committee appointments, personnel reports and claims), and a set of policy updates and the superintendent evaluation timeline. All recorded motions passed on voice votes of 7-0.

Burke Jones, director of operations, summarized the committee work on facility-use rules and said the revised guidelines clarify when district employees may use classrooms for graded instruction without rental fees and when camps must pay facility rates. He told the board the committee rewrote and consolidated policies to remove duplicate language and to clarify custodial and rental expectations.

Assistant Superintendent Becky Manor described the two software pilots before the board moved for action. She said SlideSoft would be piloted at Derby High School and would incorporate the Columbia risk-assessment element and an ability to integrate records with Skyward. Manor said the district had negotiated pilot terms at no cost and would bring back expense information if it recommended full implementation. She told the board the Hall Pass pilot at Derby Hills would use a kiosk and that its recurring costs would be comparable to the district’s existing visitor system after integration fees.

Board members moved and seconded the various motions; the meeting record does not state individual mover and seconder names for the routine items. Vote tallies recorded on the transcript show each action as passing by a 7-0 vote.

The meeting concluded with a motion to enter an executive session to discuss non-elected personnel matters; that motion also passed 7-0.
