Budget Request School: Department: CCS Technology Project Title: Increase student devices 1:1 (student: device), as well as update out of warranty devices. Total Cost: $1,000,000 Previous Request Y/N: Yes School Year: 2015 ‐ 16 Amount: $1,000,000 Funded Y/N: Yes Amount Funded: $880,000 Project Description In 2016 ‐ 2017, CCS will purchase laptops/carts to meet the NC DPI testing requirements, as well as provide devices to support students and staff in our digital conversion plan. To meet this need, CCS IT is requesting $1,000,000. We will add devices to move all grades 3 ‐ 12 to a 1:1 scenario, as well as begin Phase 1 of renewing devices that are 5+ years old (7,857). Background & Justification / Status In recent years, the state of NC has increased the number of on ‐ line tests, as well as increased the testing time limits for testing sessions. These two variables have increased our need for devices. In addition, CCS has begun implementing a digital conversion plan which includes having students and staff access on ‐ line content with various on ‐ line tools. The students and staff are requesting more devices to be able to utilize the on ‐ line content. While increased monies (15 ‐ 16) to the lease have greatly helped students gain access to devices, there is still need to add more devices, as well as update devices that are old. The aged machines cause increased break/fix issues, as well as frustrate students and staff with poor device performance and reliability. We have a total of 36,770 laptops/desktops in the district. Out of 36,770, devices, 7,857 (21%) are between 6 ‐ 9+ years old; 8,013 (22%) are between 4 ‐ 5 years old. Warranty ends at the end of 3 years. There is a reason CCS holds on to devices until devices literally die. Because every device (regardless of age) is needed to meet the testing and learning requirements, CCS cannot surplus aged machines. In a 2015 meeting with the Friday Institute, CCS leaders were told the state thinks the responsibility for providing devices lies with the local government. We were clearly told no money would be coming from the state to help meet this financial need. We would like to get to the point where CCS has a renewal cycle of every 5 years a device is replaced.

Budget Request School: Department: CCS Technology Project Title: (4) Increase technology break fix support Total Cost: $240,000 includes benefits Previous Request Y/N: Yes School Year: 2015 ‐ 16 Amount: $420,000 (6) technicians Funded Y/N: Yes Amount Funded: $120,000 (2) technicians Project Description CCS IT is requesting $240,000 to contract four additional break fix staff to support the current device inventory (36,770 laptops/desktops and 4,481 iPads). Background & Justification / Status Currently, CCS has 36,770 laptops/desktops for students and staff, and 4,481 Ipads. We have 7,857 (21%) laptops/desktops that are out ‐ of ‐ warranty (6+ years old), and 8,013 that are out ‐ of ‐ warranty (4+ years old). As devices age, there are increased issues related to break/fix. In order to have enough devices for testing and learning, we have to keep devices until the cost/benefit makes it not feasible to operate the device any longer. The state recommends one technician for every 900 devices (1:900). Our current ratio with computers is 1 technician for every 4,125 devices. AKA ‐ this is insane! If we add 4 more technicians, the ratio will be 1:2,946 which gets CCS back to the break/fix tech ratio we had in 13 ‐ 14. Our teachers and students are requesting more devices for 2016 ‐ 2017. The operational system (human support) cannot take any more devices without more break fix technicians. This is based on current inventory. If we add 5,000 devices in 2016 ‐ 2017, and do not add staff, our ratio will increase to 1:4,625 which is 5 times the ratio DPI recommends. If we add devices and add the 4 employees, the ratio will be 1:3,303. Total cost for this request is based of $44,400 per technician, $177,600 plus benefits $62,400.

Budget Request School: Department: CCS Technology Project Title: Increase operational dollars Total Cost: $350,000 Previous Request Y/N: No School Year: Amount: Funded Y/N: Amount Funded: Project Description We will use this increased funding to pay for parts related to break/fix (devices, smart Boards, etc.. @ $150,000), increased software costs ($100,000), and outfitting the mobile units for 16 ‐ 17 ($100,000). Background & Justification / Status Changes in the state technology fund and ERate reimbursement, have resulted in a decrease in funds for CCS. The impact of these changes are estimated to be approximately $350,000. Changes to E ‐ rate funding include stopping reimbursements for filtering email (Gaggle), hosting of websites (Schoolwires), funding of data plans on cell phones (Verizon), and paying for landlines (Windstream). The loss of funding makes it impossible to support schools with supply break/fix parts, as well as replacement of end of life machines. Schools were told they had to assist in covering costs related to break/fix parts for machines out of warranty in 15 ‐ 16. This put a strain on the school's budgets. CCS had an increase in software costs in 15 ‐ 16 of $75,000. We expect costs to rise 10% in 17 ‐ 18. The biggest unplanned operational expense is the need to fund 30+ mobile units planned for 16 ‐ 17. We allocate approximately $3,500 for each unit (desktop/laptop, projector, Smart Board, phones, data, etc...).

This includes all middles schools with the exception of JN Fries; which does not offer an athletic program. Total cost is based off $1,900 per year/per school, $13,300 plus benefits $3,066. Background & Justification / Status Past budget requests to reduce the teaching load of the middle school athletic directors has not been funded, therefore seeking a different avenue to assist the school's athletic director with the numerous daily duties that must be performed in operating an athletic department. Numerous duties include: Scheduling, parent conferences, assist in hiring of coaches (interviews, coaching applications, check coaching certifications), ordering of equipment, budget planning, scheduling of transportation, scheduling of bus drivers, bus driver training, collection of student athlete participation packets, eligibility check/list for all sports, Gfeller ‐ Waller Law Compliance (emergency action plan, student/parent/coaches forms), conduct pre ‐ season parent meetings: (fall, winter I, winter II, and spring), supervision of games, game day set up, schedule gate workers, oversee game day money box, scheduling of game officials, schedule security, attend conference meetings, organize CPR/FA/AED training for coaches, inventory of equipment, field maintenance, meeting with Facilities Dept., rescheduling of cancelled events, purchase/stock concession stands, field maintenance, and facility rental of athletic facilities by outside organizations, etc....... There is simply not enough time in the school day to perform the above duties while teaching a full load of classes. The Middle School Athletic Directors job must become more appealing in order to secure and retain quality educators. Continuous turnover in this position in the last six years: C.C.

State pay is the same for teachers throughout North Carolina. Local supplements differentiate one county from another when teachers consider what districts to move into or to apply. Background & Justification / Status In order to attract and retain effective teachers, supplements must be increased in order for CCS to remain competitive with surrounding districts and demonstrate to qualified applicants that Cabarrus County Schools is an employer of choice. • Alamance ‐ Burlington 9% ‐ 11% • Chapel ‐ Hill/Carrboro City Schools 12% ‐ 25% • Charlotte ‐ Mecklenburg Schools 14.98% ‐ 18.59% • Johnston County Schools 8.5% ‐ 11.5% • Wake County Schools 17.25% ‐ 24.50% It is more cost ‐ effective to keep quality teachers than it is to endure a constant cycle of turnover. The average cost of replacing an employee is 3 ‐ 5 times higher than the cost of keeping that same employee. Increased retention and decreased turnover improves morale and reduces stress for remaining employees. CCS needs a flexible supplement schedule that will benefit our experienced teachers that cap out under the state salary schedule. More districts have begun using the % of salary method for supplements to help reward and retain experienced teachers. We cannot hire great teachers and then forget about them as the years go by.

Budget Request School: Department: Curriculum & Instruction (C&I) Project Title: Increase instructional resources (formerly textbooks) Total Cost: $ 500,000 Previous Request Y/N: No School Year: Amount: Funded Y/N: Amount Funded: Project Description Increase the annual budget for instructional resources (formerly textbooks) by $500,000 per year. Background & Justification / Status Prior to 2008, Cabarrus County Schools received approximately $2,000,000 per year for textbook renewal. Textbooks in each subject area were placed on a rotating adoption cycle so that once every 5 years a particular subject area was renewed. In 2008, the state eliminated this funding for budget reduction purposes. Therefore, we have not had money for new textbooks since 2008 and our current inventory is dangerously close to being irrelevant. While, intuition would suggest that textbooks are a thing of the past, instructional resources are still necessary to teach. Teachers need content resources. Increasingly, this is becoming digital. Textbook companies have changed and now offer annual contracts for their content. In addition, our school system has written a local curriculum that allows us to make companies tailor their content to our curriculum maps. In addition to digital content, our teachers still need manipulatives and hands ‐ on materials to teach rigorous and engaging lessons. In 2015 ‐ 2016 CCS was allocated $907,801 for instructional resources (textbooks). This was an increase of $450,000 but because the state took flexibility away from teacher assistant funds, this resulted in a $4,000,000 hole for CCS. The increase of $450,000 had to be used to avoid teacher lay offs. Budget Objectives Impact on Objective Comply with laws, policies and negotiated agreements.

Background & Justification / Status As we look at comparison class size reports for the top performing school districts in our state, we can see that our class size average is typically above those school districts. Our teachers consistently have higher class sizes and therefore are not able to give the personalized attention needed for many of our students. Attached is a table of comparison between CCS and other districts. In addition, recent legislation prohibits us from being flexible with our funding and therefore we will not be able to add any expansion teaching positions even though we are likely to grow 700+ students in 2016 ‐ 17.

Budget Request School: District Wide Department: Accountability Project Title: Scanning of student alumni records Total Cost: $185,700 Previous Request Y/N: Yes School Year: 2015 ‐ 16 Amount: $153,452 Funded Y/N: No Amount Funded: Project Description To scan approximately 560 boxes of alumni student records. Background & Justification / Status The goal of this project is to more securely store student records, be efficient with the use of tax payer dollars, and increase equity amongst schools. It is the law that we maintain student records for 99 years. We currently store records in all manner of locations due to lack of space including basements, spare corners, closets, etc. FERPA protects the privacy of student records. The security of these documents is paramount. By scanning these documents we increase the security of this confidential, vital student information. It is equally valuable to be efficient with tax payer dollars. As good stewards of tax payer dollars, it is our duty to take advantage of costs savings at every opportunity. By scanning all the records in the 2016 ‐ 2017 school year, the CCS Board will save tax payers $253,059.15. Finally, schools deserve a level of equity that allows them to provide the highest quality education to students possible. Our oldest schools will be able to recuperate valuable space that can, in many instances, be used for small group instruction, office space, etc. In addition to space, is time. The tasks involved in retrieving, copying and sending alumni records is extremely time consuming using the current archaic methods. By scanning all the records, all registrars will have alumni records at the touch of a button. The software also allows us to electronically submit records to colleges and universities further saving time and money for the district.

Budget Request School: High Schools Department: Administrative Services Project Title: Add additional month of employment to (7) high school counselors (10 month to 11 month employment) Total Cost: $37,800 includes benefits Previous Request Y/N: Yes School Year: 2015 ‐ 16 Amount: $22,000 Funded Y/N: No Amount Funded: Project Description Add an additional month of employment to (7) high school counselors (10 month ‐ 11 month) to address summer tasks so ALL student schedules will be available at open house in August. This includes traditional high schools only. It does not include PLC and Early College. Total cost of this request is based off (1) counselor per (7) schools @ $4,400 plus benefits $1,000. Background & Justification / Status School Counselors are 10 ‐ month employees who have responsibilities for summer tasks outside their 10 month employment. These tasks include: schedule changes, new student registrations, assistance with master schedule changes, pre ‐ requisite checking, schedule & section balancing, hand scheduling Academy students, schedule changes and enrollment in VPS courses per the recent law change on grade suppression, and student schedules prepared for all students and printed PRIOR to August open house. Counselors spend an average of 1 hour with each new enrollee and his/her family. While this is only one of seven tasks expected of counselors, it does show there is minimal, if any, time for the other tasks. In 2015, the totals for new student enrollments and schedule changes were as follows – School New Enrollments Schedule Changes CCHS 103 311 CHS 120 210 CMHS 153 1,038 HRHS 125 500 MPHS 50 300 NCHS 105 219 JMRHS 87 523 All traditional high schools receive funding to employ a counselor for 5 weeks (20 days (8 ‐ 10 hours/day). Administrators either rotate days across counselors or contract with one counselor and then offer flex time for additional days counselors are asked to complete required work tasks. Counselors should not be asked to accept flex time to complete the summer tasks. The amount of flex time currently awarded is impossible to use during the year. High School Counselors are being asked to complete required tasks on their own time during summer months without adequate compensation from the district while sacrificing time with family, even being forced to pay for childcare. Future Perspective – School counselors work tirelessly to provide accurate schedules, enrollment in courses, and advisement during the summer without pay, leaving their families behind for the sake of our students. Without the added summer work, our schools could be left with hundreds of students waiting for schedules and enrollment the first week of school. This is the first step in doing what is right for our students and our employees. J156

Student schedules would not be complete before open house or even the first day of classes. Hundreds of students would not have schedules for the first week of school, as is the case in districts where school counselors are not paid to work in the summer. J157

Budget Request School: Department: Student Services Project Title: Integrated mental health responders (8) 10 month positions Total Cost: $ 480,000 includes benefits Previous Request Y/N: No School Year: Amount: Funded Y/N: Amount Funded: Project Description The operational expansion of eight highly qualified student support professionals (school counselors, psychologists and social workers) to address student mental health needs during the school day, provide crisis response, and engage families and caregivers to remove barriers to academic success for over 32,000 students. Background & Justification / Status There is a growing number of students in Cabarrus County Schools with significant mental health needs. Based on the U.S. Surgeon General’s 2000 Report, 1 in 5 students will experience a significant mental health problem during their school years, with approximately 70% of them never receiving appropriate mental health services. In CCS, this means that the expected number of students enrolled in Cabarrus County Schools with unmet mental health needs is 4,480 (assuming a population of 32,000 students). Counselors, Social Workers and Psychologists are stretched to the point of not being able to respond to all of the mental health needs. And we currently have only one setting that offers mental health programming for 12 elementary students with highly restrictive criteria. As a direct result of the lack of available student support staff to respond to the mental health needs of these students, they often display disruptive behaviors impacting the entire classroom, leading to discipline referrals, increased suspensions and referrals for alternative settings or modified school day. It is important to note that alternative placement options are not staffed to offer additional mental health support, nor do these alternative placements encourage participation with their general education peers. In order to successfully return to an academic learning environment these students require support in learning to manage their symptoms, increase emotional coping skills and improve self ‐ regulation. With increased psycho ‐ social support to these students we expect decreased classroom disruption, increased exposure to direct instruction and improved academic performance. By taking an integrated approach across the disciplines the unified staff will provide more comprehensive and efficient services to students and schools. Our highly trained mental health professionals are capable of providing these services directly, however, current capacity issues impact their accessibility to students in need, which will only continue to grow as enrollment expands. For example, school social workers and psychologists currently provide individual coverage for up to four schools. Moreover, the current staffing ratios are well out of alignment with the nationally recommended standards for school counselors, psychologists and social workers. The inclusion of these eight positions is a vital step in beginning to address the mental health needs of our growing student population through direct services. Total cost is based off (8) positions; $42,500 plus benefits $17,500. Budget Objectives Impact on Objective Comply with laws, policies and negotiated agreements. Yes Positive impact on safety, security, health, and sanitation. High Positive Impact Positive impact on student learning experience.

High Positive Impact Positive impact on programs to attract and retain Cabarrus County families to CCS as well High Positive Impact Positive impact on community use and involvement. High Positive Impact Impact if Delayed or Not Funded We believe that maintaining the status quo will result in continued (1) lack of academic success, (2) classroom disruptions for students with unaddressed mental health issues and their peers, and (3) unmet development of effective coping skills to manage their mental health symptoms.

Background & Justification / Status The changes to be brought about by the recently enacted Every Student Succeeds Act will require increased administrative coordination of services for a greater number of students. This will require daily updates to electronic reporting systems for transportation and eligibility, letters to students and families, and/or outreach notifications to indicated staff at schools for homeless and foster students. Clerical functions to update the mental health registry will also be executed by administrative support. Finally, the overwhelming community response to magnet programming will require additional support and service. Total cost of this request is based off of (1) 11 month position @ $20 per hour (19.5 hours * 48 weeks) plus FICA $1,430.
