Superintendent’s Report
• “Thank you, Chair Porter, members of the Board. It is my pleasure to call your attention to a
few items.
• On September 11, we held the first monthly principals’ meeting at Valley High School.
During this time, Cabinet members and I provided an update and received feedback on
several districtwide initiatives. Attendees were also provided an overview on key legal and
accounting policies and procedures. Similar meetings were held for central office
administrators and counselors.
• I provided an overview of the District’s Strategic Plan—Vision 2015 at Fern Creek
Community Association and Chamber of Commerce’s monthly meeting.
• In partnership with the Louisville Urban League, we held our first District Directional
meeting at Roosevelt-Perry Elementary School. More than 35 parents and community
representatives attended this meeting.
• We held the kickoff for this year’s Metro United Way Employee campaign on September 13
and 14. Last year, JCPS employees donated over $230,000 to Metro United Way. The
employee campaign will run through October 12.
• I participated in the Bingham Fellows’ graduation ceremonies at Spalding University. The
topic for this year’s class was focused on ways to improve parental and community
