Following Dr. Bowlan's presentation, Mr. McCray remarked: I would like to take the opportunity of making the motion to adopt the resolution as prepared, to he forwarded to the Commissioner of Education.

RESOLUTION - "The Board of Education recognizes that the child of today rarely has a firsthand opportunity to Become aware of, or to explore the full potential of the many diverse and changing occupations. As a result, the choice of a vocation is far more difficult for today's young people than it has Been for any generation."

Therefore, I would move that the Board of Education endorse the "Bridging the Gaps Between Academic-Vocational-Government-Business and Communities for the Implementation of a Career Development System", as proposed By our Vocational Department as a vehicle for the implementation and continuous operation of a career education program in our Oklahoma City Public Schools.

MEETING OF JANUARY18, 1973 - CONT'D {emarks

Dr. Lillard, informed, the Board, of the recent hospitalization of Mr. Robert Cheney. Dr. Lillard, stated, that in a communication from Rone Tempest, Mr. Tempest discussed, the financial deficit expected for the Chicago Public Schools. Dr. Lillard stated that the laws of the State of Oklahoma prohibit a deficit in the financial operation of the Oklahoma school systems.

nnual School lection

In regard to the Annual School Election, Dr. Lillard remarked: I think the "heart" of my remarks or comments will be something that possibly might be repetitious, but I feel that it is my responsibility as the Superintendent of this school system, as the Executive Officer of the Board of Education, to make some comments. I would like to call to your attention that next Tuesday, January 23, 1973, I believe, will be one of the most important days in the history of the Oklahoma City school system. And I do refer to the fact that on January 23, 1-973., patrons will have an opportunity to indicate their approval or disapproval on three mill levy issues, and also the election or selection of one member to the Board of Education.

Let me call to your attention that these three mill levies are in existence at the present time; they are not new taxes; they will not increase the present tax rate; they will just be a continuation of the present level of support. Much has been said about the mill levies on annual basis for the past several years.... The mill levies will raise approximately $12,000,000, which is one-third of the General Fund budget of the Oklahoma City school system. There are those who say we do not need the mill levies to operate; that we could function without the passage of these levies.... I would call to the Board's attention, that when the Board certified the need and called for the election of the mill levies on January 23, 1973'■reading from the form which we submitted, "The estimated needs from the General Fund to maintain a legal term of school for the ensuing year," this Board of Education went on record indicating with the passage of these levies; with the raising of the $12,000,000 plus, that there would be enough money on hand to have a legal term of school for the 1973-7^school year. Also.... all agencies of government, all school districts; the city, the county, all agencies must submit their budget to the County Excise Board. And..... you indicate that the vote was on the mill levy; how much money will be raised; and you certify that you have enough money on hand to have a legal term of school for 1973-7^- • I question whether this Board could "certify" if we had 12^- million dollars less than we have at the present time; whether we could have a legal term of school. Hopefully, that situation will not confront this school system, but only the Board can issue the certification; Just as you issued a certification of need, and 15 mills are allocated to the school system on the basis of certification of needs of the Oklahoma City Board of Education. I know that we have patrons in the audience, employees of the school system in the audience, and certainly there can be diverse opinions on this matter, and any intelligent human being is welcome to have his opinion; but again, as your Superintendent, I feel that I would be remiss if I didn't indicate that these mill levies are needed, needed most urgently, needed most drastically, if we are to have a legal term of school for 1973-7^; if we are to meet the obligations of salary schedules for employees, instructional programs for some 60,000 pupils; many of our fixed charges such as Social Security; and utilities are increasing rather than remaining stagnant. The financial needs of this school system become greater each year rather than less. I would call on the patrons of this school system, certainly, to go to the polls on Tuesday, January 23, and cast their ballots; not only on the three mill levies, but also for the Board representative in Area #1.

Dr. Lillard responded to questions by members of the Board.

STATEMENT Mr. English

Following Dr. Lillard's remarks, Mr. English stated, "I would like to comment because I think this is an important occasion." (Mr. English read from prepared copy a statement regarding the millage election. Copy on file in office of the Clerk.)

R. #27 Endorsement of Millage Proposal

Mr. English continued, "I would like to make a motion at this time, and we can continue discussion if we like, but I move that the Board go on record as endorsing the millage questions to be voted on January 23, 1973;, and urge all residents of this school district to vote for the millage proposal." The motion was seconded by Mr. McCray. Each member of the Board responded in the following order: Mrs. York, Mr. Col eman, Dr. Moon, Mr. McCray and Mr. Estes. On roll call to the motion, five members voted "Aye", and one member (Mrs. York) voted "Nay". The motion carried.

!j )

In brief summary, the financial conditions for 1972-73 (the present school l year) are good. Our budget is fully financed; all of our financial obli( gations for this school year can be met. As weplan for1973-77, there j; are several variables. What the statelegislature will do; it is tooearly h to say at the present time. jj .... I think, as we are all aware, that as we plan for 1973-77, it appears with a certain degree of certainty that Impact Aid funds may not be available for the 1973-77 year. If Pl-874 money is not available, if we do have this cutback on the federal level, then there will be a loss of approximately $800,000.00 to the General Fund of the Oklahoma City school system. Congressional reactions to federal programs are uncertain. It does appear that there will be many cutbacks at the federal level concerning support for education. The area that would concern us as much as anything else would be Title I funds. This school district does receive approximately two million dollars each year in our Title I fund. Title I funds are earmarked for specific purposes. We must use Title I money to do above and beyond what you are normally doing with your General Fund money. Again, what the reaction of Congress will be .... I am hopeful that Congress will protect these federal funds for education, and that any cutbacks we would experience, especially in the Title I area, would be minimal.

!

Probably, the number one problem of this school system will be declining ! enrollment; declining average daily attendance. If the formulae by which j we receive these funds would remain the same, and probably they will be j changed, a general "ball park" estimate is that due to declining enrollment | and declining average daily attendance, this school system will probably jj experience a cutback of approximately two million dollars. I am not saying || that we will necessarily have two million dollars less to spend next year ji from the state, but applying the same state aid formulae for Foundation jj Aid and Incentive Aid; with our declining enrollment that we have experienced! this year which affects our state aid for 1973-77, I think the most minimum [j and conservative estimate of your business department, evaluated by your superintendent, would be a loss of approximately two million dollars. It could be slightly more, slightly less, depending on what type of formulas are written by this session cf the state legislature.

MEETING OF FEBRUARY 5, 1973 - CONT'D

by which we staff a school building. Obviously, if we continue to experience Remarks declining enrollment, it is obvious to me that possibly we will require a |Dr• Lillard cont' declining number of staff members to serve those pupils. Certainly, our concern: always has been to reduce the pupil-teacher ratio as much as we can to bring about a much more desirable class size. .... So again, according to my present information, 1973-74 will be an austere year financially for the Oklahoma City school system.

(Dr. Lillard responded to comments and questions by members of the Board.) (2)

..... On January 24, 1973? "the Oklahoma City Board of Education did receive a ; request from the Association of Classroom Teachers, which is the duly recognized| negotiating representative for the professional employees of this group, to ' enter into negotiations with this group. We have done this in past years; we have found the group to be very ethical, very professional, and very responsi- ; ble......... Since they have .made the request, and since legally you have this requirement by law, I would suggest that the Oklahoma City Board of Education direct the administration to appoint a negotiations team to meet with the negotiations team which by law is elected by the teachers of the Association; to meet, confer, and negotiate to work out a procedural agreement.

J .

Following Dr. Lillard's remarks, Mr. McCray stated, "I move that we direct the r #49 ‘Appointment of Superintendent to appoint such a committee to meet with and negotiate with the Association of Classroom Teachers." The motion was seconded by Dr. Moon, and carried Committee to unanimously on roll call. jNegotiate with AC1 PERSONNEL REPORT

Motion was made by Mrs. York and seconded by Dr. Moon that the listed persons be employed and that contracts with the teachers listed on the form approved be executed in the name of the District by the Superintendent or persons by him designated; also, that other personnel recommendations and information listed be approved. Motion carried unanimously on roll call.

NEW BUSINESS

As an item for New Business, Mrs. York remarked, "On election day, we had a gentleman very seriously hurt at one of the schools. We carry liability insurance on the buses. I called Mr. Johnson, and he advised that we cannot reimburse anyone I think that we should ask who fell and hurt themselves on the school grounds the legislature to allow the school system to be able to carry insurance so that people who are hurt while they are on the school grounds be reimbursed for their medical expenses.... I will read this resolution. I will be glad to go on to the Capitol, if you don't mind-" Mrs. York read, the prepared, resolution as follows:

WHEREAS, the Supreme Court of the State of Oklahoma has ruled that school districts are immune from liability for injuries sustained by persons who are injured while on school district property, and cannot pay for damages caused by school district employees; and WHEREAS, the Attorney General has held that because of the Supreme Court ruling, a school district cannot pay for medical expenses of persons injured

while on school district property, nor carry insurance for such purpose, without specific legislative authorization; and (cont'd)


30

MEETING OF FEBRUARY 5, 1973 - CONT'D

WHEREAS, there is not now any legislative authorization for school districts to pay medical expenses of persons injured while on district property, or to carry insurance protecting persons sustaining injuries on school district property, although the Legislature has authorized school districts to carry public liability insurance to pay damages to persons sustaining injuries caused by the operation of school buses; and

i i

\

j ;

WHEREAS, in many cases the school district may be at fault when a person is injured on school district property, and it is unjust to cause the injured person to bear the burden of paying his own medical bills:

i

Motion was made by Mr. English and seconded by Mr. Knight to direct Loyce Willett, to attend the Southern District Convention of American Association of Health, Physical Education and Recreation, Jackson, Mississippi, February 21-23, 1973-

Information to the Board

(1)

On February 6, 1973., I had the pleasure of speaking at the State Meeting of the Oklahoma State School Boards Association , an orientation session for new members to school boards. I think there were about 450 to 500 individuals in attendance.

(2)

The State Department of Education has a publication called the Oklahoma Educator. The first article in the January 1973 issue concerns the teaching of geography...The article explains how geography is taught in the Oklahoma City Public School System, and was important enough to be shared with the remainder of the state...I think it is interesting to note that they refer to Educational Television Channel 11 and Channel 13; but the important article deals with Rogers Middle School in Oklahoma City, and how a building is designed by an architectural firm for a unique and instructional program... also, the broadcasting on ETV, Channel 13 in Oklahoma City.

(3)

I

At the last meeting of the Board, you had instructed me to appoint a negotiations team for the Board, to meet and confer and negotiate with the classroom teachers association. I have notified the Board of the action, the appointment of the team; the chairman will be Dr. Thomas Smith, also on the Board's team are Dr. Jesse Lindley, Dr. Mervel Lunn, two elementary administrators (Dr. John Brothers and Dr. Howard Morrow), and two secondary administrators (Mr. James Robinson and Mr. George Atwood). The Board's team will be composed of seven members. The classroom teachers have been notified of the appointment of the team. I believe the first meeting of the teams will occur on Wednesday, February 21, 1973-

As information to the community as well as to the Board, at two o'clock this afternoon, our Purchasing Department did receive quotations or information concerning the cost of buses to this school system. I think most of you are aware that we do own approximately 100 buses, and we contract with I vendors for about 200 additional buses. One of our basic concerns, at the j present time, is the age of some of our old buses, They are all safety inspected on regular intervals. Mr. Allan Williams , Director of Transportation, has prepared a survey...we have 28 buses that are being used by this school systanl that 3.re*-ll years of age or older...the Purchasing Department without a commiti ment or obligation has received a quotation, basically information to find out i; our unit cost per bus. The Purchasing Department will analyze these quotations; h we will share the information with the Board, and obviously if we have any p recommendations to make, our recommendations will be .made to the Board t collectively. There is no expenditure of funds until the Oklahoma City Board ( of Education reacts to our recommendations...I think that this is certainly an obligation that we have as a staff, to inform the Board of what we think should be done to improve transportation. * Mr. Estes commented, "...Before we vote on purchasing of any additional buses... before we trade in all of these buses...I would like to see the buses grouped or assembled together. I would like to have them grouped and offered for sale in 'lots' of 1 to 5- There are many school districts throughout the United States, small districts, that would pay more for these used buses than what the bus supplier would offer us for trade-in." Dr. Lillard agreed to Mr. Estes' suggestion. (Dr. Lillard and Mr. Allan Williams responded to comments and questions by members of the Board.)

I think most of you realize that early during the second semester of each school year, our Research Department makes predictions regarding our enrollment for the following year; based on these predictions, we allocate staff at a fixed ratio: throughout the school system. (Dr. Lillard presented a visual and oral report concerning our predicted enrollment for next year. Included in his report was the following information:)

We will distribute this information to the various building principals beginning tomorrow, in order that they may know what our overall pupil population predictions are. I think it will remove some of the concern and worry from the minds of many of our staff that they are not going to have a job for next school year. Reacting to the number of resignations by staff and the pupil population loss, I can't see a situation where we will be notifying employees (certificated) that they will not be needed due to a decrease in pupil population.

Statement Dr. Krob

j

Dr. Krob, referring to a meeting held at Jefferson Middle School on Tuesday evening, February 13; 1973; discussed briefly an item that was suggested during the Jefferson meeting, the establishing of "rumor control groups" by parent-teacher associations of the schools. He stated, "I don't know whether consideration has been given to working with these groups or not, but it looks to me like this might be a kind of buffer sort of situation. A group of parents mixed and impartial, could be (housed) in a school where any child could go to the group and have someone to hear their (the pupils) side of the story."

Dr. Lillard responded. WRITTEN PETITIONS AND COMMUNICATIONS

Mr. Johnson reported as follows:

i Attorney's i Report__________

Three dates affecting the school district in the near future are: (1) Prior to April 10, if we do not want to re-hire a teacher for next year, under the Continuing Contract Law, we must give notice to the teacher. If the teacher has been with us at least three years, then we have to give a reason for termination. The reasons are limited to six specified in the statute. (2) By May 1, under the United States District Court Order in the desegregation case, we are to file a report on integration of the school district. (3) May 15 is the last day for parents to file application for transfer from or to the Oklahoma City school district. Those applications are to be filed with the County Superintendent of Schools, and the County Superintendent is the agency responsible for approving or denying a transfer. The transfer cannot be made unless the boards of education of both of the school districts affected agree to the transfer. You will recall that prior to last year, there had to be statutory grounds for transfers. These are no longer necessary, and all that is required is the consent of both boards of education. I will work with the Superintendent of Schools and his staff on all three of these matters, and I will keep you advised.

J

MR. ESTES - I would like to suggest to Dr. Lillard that he publicize the transfer application date (May 15)- Give all the information to the news media so that people who are desiring transfers will make their application, and we won't come up against what we did last year, late in the school year.

Mr. Kenneth Moak reported for the firm of Moak, Hunsaker and Rouse; and Mr. Miles Hall reported for the firm of Hurst, Thomas and Company. Each made a routine report.

BY________ ;. President


MEETING OF MARCH 5, 1973 - CONT'D

DR. LILLARD - (referring to a letter from Mr. J. Harold. Short asking that the Oklahoma City Board, of Education consider a request to pay an architect's fee consistent with the recommendation of the professional organization of the architectural firm) On a project this size (per Mr. Short's request), the fee would he 8.5% rather than the 5-5$ that the Oklahoma City Board of Education has paid in the past. The board action appointed this firm as the architectural firm (FrankfurtShort -Emery -McKinley) to prepare the Douglass School project. Again, you have a request that you consider paying them 8.5$ for this job. I think that the Board would want to discuss this item and react to Mir. Short's request.

R- #89 Consideration of Request from Architectural Firm Re Douglass Project

MR. ENGLISH - I would move that we notify the firm of Frankfurt-Short-Emery-McKinley that this Board pay its usual architectural fee of 5-5$ for this particular job. (The motion was seconded by Dr. Moon.) The Board discussed the motion and agreed that as a part of the notification, the architectural firm be advised that the Board will wish to receive an early response on this matter.

Report Bill Pickle Application Emergency School Assistance Act aont 'd

Members of the Board discussed the proposed application. Mrs. York stated, "I would like to, if there is not a motion, to table whatever he is doing here until the Board does see the film and take a look at the presentation from the Regional Director, again, from Dallas."

Mr. McCray .made inquiry to the members of the Board regarding Mrs. York's motion. i After additional discussion by the Board, and upon a restated inquiry by the President regarding a second to the motion, Mr. McCray declared that the motion had died for | want of a second. #90

Report : Dr. "Wallace Smith - Biracial Committee ■ feetings_________ '

The Board continued to discuss the subject. Dr. Moon .moved to approve the proposed application for the grant. The motion was seconded by Mr. English. After additional discussion by the Board, on roll call, the motion carried 5 to 1 Mrs. York voted "Nay".

Dr. Lillard called on Dr. Wallace Smith for a report on meetings of the Biracial Committee. Dr. Smith stated that the Committee did not conduct official business at the December, 1972, nor January, 1973, meetings because of a lack of a quorum. He stated that at their February 8, 1973, meeting that they elected new officers for the ensuing six months. The Committee also heard two visitors during its meeting.

Mr. Estes inquired regarding the Biracial Committee's involvement in school problems, asking if they were trying to assist to solve the problems which exist in the schools today. Other members of the Board entered the discussion with responses to Mr. Estes' inquiry; Dr. Smith to convey the inquiry to the Committee. Dr. Krob inquired about the Biracial Committee's Report (November 1 and/or May 1 reports) to the Court and of the reports availability for the public. announcement )r. Lillard

The community is aware that to help alleviate conditions that exist at Capitol Hill High School, that we assigned Mr. Ray Thompson to Capitol Hill High School as an additional secondary administrator with major responsibilities in the area of discipline and in coordinating security. Mr. Thompson's assignment to Capitol Hill caused a vacancy for about ten weeks on the staff at Northwest Classen. Consistent with our past practices, Dr. Dawkins has recommended to me that for the remainder of the year, Miss Hazel Smiley be assigned to fulfill Mr. Thompson's duties and responsibilities. I would like to make this point quite clear; in the past, I can cite no less than seven other occasions where we have appointed classroom teachers to fulfill these duties and responsiblities, and they have done quite well. I thought with what occurred at Capitol Hill High School, and with Northwest Classen helping us, I thought that it would be well to report to the Board Dr. Dawkins' recommendation. Miss Smiley has been at Northwest Classen for about four years; she knows the student body; I think that she has excellent rapport with the students; I think that she can do a fine job in assisting the student body and the patrons and staff at Northwest Classen.

Mr. English then stated, "I didn't want to do it but I guess I have got to. I do thisil with great reluctance but I think that someone needs to say something in this case, I guess. ...Back a couple of weeks ago before we started considering the buses, a man came to me, Mr. Buford Keas, and he said, it was at the Capitol Press Room, and j he said, 'You are getting ready to buy 40 buses. ' Well, that was a little news to i’ me, but O.K. And then he goes on and tells me what great buses they are, Superior buses. And he says that we are paying $500 more a bus for his bus. And in all fairness, I will say, that someone was in the room there, he was doing what might be P called a little hard sell and one ofthe reporters in the room said 'Paul, when is it ■’ that you are up for reelection?' And this apparently prompted him to say, 'Oh, we contribute to a lot of campaigns; we have helped elect a lot of these senators and J house members out here.' We went on with the discussion of the superiority of the J Superior coach. And then to close the conversation, gave me his card and his maintenance manual, and then he said to me, because he came over to me and put his arm on my shoulder, and then he said to me, 'When you need some campaign money, Just let me know.' Now that's a direct quote because when he left the room, I wrote it down. Now, I was raised in a rather strict family I guess you would say, and that goes ( really against my ethics on that, and I think it's improper for someone to make that suggestion; to mention the campaign money like that at the same time you are trying to sell your buses. I was very disappointed in him. I hate to bring it up now, but ) the fact that we got one bidder here, I think it would be just a much more wholesome j atmosphere if we would resubmit the bid on the bus bodies." h

Mr. Estes responded, "I agree with you completely, that any person...1 assure you that Mr. Keas or no other bus or body man has given me a dime for my campaign; but nevertheless, I am for buying the buses, the best buses, and the cheapest buses, Paul, and if you feel reasonably sure that we can get bus quotations submitted to us, I will go along with your motion to re-advertise it."

ii

Members of the Board discussed the motion. On inquiry from members of the Board as to securing new quotations on both bus bodies and bus chassis, Mr. English stated, "Fine, I'll amend it." Mr. McCray stated, "You have heard the motion that we rescind and re-advertise for bids on Item B. 17. On roll call to the motion, all members voted "Aye".

( ;! ) ( H

A motion was made by Dr. Krob and seconded by Dr. Moon to purchase lumber (fir dimension and 1 x) from Brown McClure Lumber Company for warehouse stock to be used by the Maintenance Department. This purchase in the amount of $17,784.45 is to be charged to Account BL 5620.05- Motion carried unanimously on roll call.

The Central Food Service Department Financial Statement for January 31? 1973? was submitted as information to the Board.

Dr. Lillard remarked - In summary the report of our Central Food Service Account [' shows a deficit of $109?382.35- The month of January did show a profit of $23?000.00.H Very briefly, there are several reasons as to why we have had this deficit. Our i; food costs are increasing; we have a declining average daily attendance...we have had ■ a reduction in the amount, reduction in the volume, of surplus commodities that we ; normally received...I think you can see some of the reasons for our increasing H deficit in Central Food Service. I would recommend that the Board consider the |i following: permit the school district General Fund to pay salaries of all Aides ( assigned for Lunchroom duty in school cafeterias; pay salaries of all personnel assigned to the cafeterias (lunchrooms) at the Administration Building, 900 North ( Klein, and at the Service Center, 2700 North Miramar; pay premiums for accident insurance; pay the salaries of cafeteria maintenance personnel. If we could take thatj action, we might see some relief in the ever increasing deficit. An item that I would call to your attention, and I am not even certain that I want to make this in H the form of a recommendation, and that is increasing the prices of the lunches 50? I but since there are only approximately ten weeks remaining in this school year, I ; question whether that would bring the relief, and bring the relief where it is \ needed. So, again, with this ever increasing deficit, even though we do have a i reserve that we possibly could go into, I think we need to consider these other ! courses of action to see if it will bring about the needed relief before the end of > this school year. i After additional discussion by the Board and responses by Dr. Lillard, Mir. Estes stated, "I so move that we take this under advisement for ten days until the next meeting." Mrs. York seconded the motion. On roll call, all members voted "Aye".

MR. ESTES - I second it. On roll call to the motion, all members voted "Aye".

HEARING OF DELEGATIONS

None. WRITTEN PETITIONS AND COMMUNICATIONS DR. LILLARD - We have a special resolution passed by the Oklahoma City PTA Council at their meeting last Friday. It's a brief resolution. Dr. Lillard read the resolution as follows:

WHEREAS complex problems of society are not resolved by simple solutions such as discharging one person, and

PTA Resolution i

J

WHEREAS teachers and administrators are dealing with vast and complex societal problems, and WHEREAS we believe that the home is the basic unit in the structure of our society and should be the most constructive influence in building the child's character, sense of values, and his conception of the world, and WHEREAS discord between educators and parents create negative attitudes and rebellion on the part of our children, and WHEREAS distrust and suspicion of teachers and administrators bring about a deterioration of the proper learning climate, and WHEREAS the future of public education in Oklahoma City is dependent upon the positive cooperation of all elements of the school patronage and all school system employees; therefore be it RESOLVED, That as PTA. units we will be supportive of teachers and administrators as they administer and supervise their respective schools, while at the same time not hampering free and creative interchange between the PTA and the administrator, teacher and board of education; and be it further

RESOLVED, That the PTA supports community endorsement of principals and teachers in their efforts to develop and maintain a standard of behavior in the schools that is conducive to a good learning climate.

NEW BUSINESS

MR. McCRAY - I have a suggestion to bring the format of our Agenda "up to date", and I would like to present the item at this time, recalling my past experience and also research file, the minutes of the prior board meeting etc. ...In the preparation of Agenda for future meetings, assuming that all members concur and agree, we will instruct that the "Order of Business" include only those items which we plan to consider during the meeting, thus streamlining our Agenda format to concur with our actual practice.

I

MRS. YORK - Is that a motion?

MR. McCRAY - It does not require a motion unless there is someone (a member of the Board) who disagrees. (Members of the Board unanimously agreed to the proposed format for the Agenda.)

Time factors are involved in purchasing, ordering, and receiving. The materials .must be distributed throughout the school system before the opening of the next school year. Dr. Lillard reminded the Board that not only in the Agenda (March 15); but future Agenda will reflect large items of expenditure. All should be aware of the fact that these programs and projects have to be screened rather carefully before they are presented to the Board. For each item we present to the Board, there are several items that we assume do not have a high priority as we consider our financial needs and limitations.

The recommendations presented to the Board in this Agenda (March 15) and in future Agenda will be needed to restock our warehouse, to update and renew instructional equipment, to renovate and renew physical facilities of buildings, and to replace transportation items of equipment. These recommendations are not the recommendation of one staff member; these recommendations represent the thinking of the entire staff and those who are qualified to make these recommendations.

i

!

Dr. Lillard reminded the Board that last year, between March and June 30, the Board authorized purchases for warehouse stock in the amount of about $170,000. The Board approved quotations for steel and lumber to the vocational and industrial arts classes, delivered directly to the schools in the amount of $44,000; custodial supplies, general supplies and hardware amounted to about $78,000; magazines, periodicals and other types of publications $15,000; audiovisual equipment $80,000. Some of these items are not I represented in today's Agenda, but will be included in future Agenda with detailed explanation. We should look carefully at providing more adequate floor covering, carpeting for 35 kindergarten classrooms; band uniforms for schools; athletic and physical education equipment in the estimated amount of $55;OOO to $60,000; and instructional equipment estimated in the amount of $360,000. I would remind members of the Board to consider these amounts in terms of thousands of pupils that will be served by an expenditure. A $1 per pupil expenditure on a given item is $60,000. The Superintendent additionally reminded the Board to anticipate similar recommendations in similar amounts during the next few weeks for restocking and for summer projects. |

ENCUMBRANCES, GENERAL BUSINESS AND PURCHASING

As the Board considered the item of encumbrances, Mr. Knight inquired regarding the format used in the listing of the encumbrances and asked if they might be printed to list the purchases from vendors in a manner that the total being approved to any one company would reflect at one location only on the listing. ,. #119 ncumbrances pproved

• #120 greements with ocal Cultural nstitutions uthorized • #121 eimbursement to entral Food ervice Departent Funds with mendment

A motion was made by Mr. Estes and seconded by Dr. Moon to approve payment of encumbrances as listed for March 3-9; 1973- All members voted "Aye" on roll call. It was moved by Mr. English and seconded by Dr. Moon to authorize the finalization of agreements with local cultural institutions (National Cowboy Hall of Fame, Oklahoma Art Center, Oklahoma Arts and Humanities Council, Oklahoma City Ballet Society, Inc., Oklahoma City Symphony, Oklahoma City University, Oklahoma City Zoo, Oklahoma Historical Society, Oklahoma Science and Arts Foundation) to provide instructional services for Oklahoma City Public School pupils. On roll call to the motion, six members voted "Aye", one member (Mrs. York) voted "Nay". Mr. Estes.inquired regarding the reason or the purpose to reimburse Central Food Service Department funds in the amount of $57;300. Dr. Lillard, responding, remarked that the Central Food Service Department has some expenses that cannot be recovered by the sale of lunches. Examples are: the cafeteria in the Service Center; the cafeteria in the Administration Building; and others. One possibility which might be used to offset the deficit would be the increasing of the prices of lunches 50 to relieve some of the financial tensions of the deficit that exists. If, however, we could pay some of the cafeteria maintenance personnel, the accident insurance, the operation of the Administration Buildings1 cafeterias from the General Fund, then we could decrease the (cont’d)

MEETING OF MARCH 15, 1973 - CONT’D deficit. Another possibility would be to increase the price of lunches. Mr. Estes made additional comments regarding the increasing prices of food products and the increasing of other expenses, and stated, "If we have got to raise our lunches then we should raise them, not take it away from some other account where we need it Just maybe as badly in the General Fund as we do in the Food Service."

Dr. Lillard in responding, stated, "Our General Fund collections are coming in at a rate greater than we originally plarmed. Generalizing, the General Fund is in better shape than the Central Food Service Fund." Mr. Estes made additional inquiry and stated, "We should set our lunches to where they will pay the way." Other members of the Board entered the discussion, reviewing some reasons for the current deficit of the operation of the Central Food Service Department (reduction in volume of commodities received, increasing food prices, reduction in numbers of meals sold, operation of lunchroom units in small schools and others). Dr. Moon made remarks regarding menu prices, the receipt of commodities, and the balancing of the Central Food Service budget. Dr. Moon's remarks did not favor the increase in menu prices. Other members of the Board entered the discussion, remarking to the cafeteria operations; the number of students being served; the meals and nourishment for students; physical fitness and diet relationship; good food habits, and other. Members of the Board also briefly explored the possibility of revising our procedures, causing cafeterias to be operated as an expense of the district's General Fund. The Board continued to discuss the subject. Mr. Knight inquired regarding the adding of an amendment to the item which had been listed in the Agenda; "That we examine the possibility of how we budget it (the financing of the Central Food Service budget) and how we put it together for the next year...to subsidize this finance whatever the deficit is...that we take this under study to find out for ourselves or that we look at the cafeteria losses as a General Fund expenditure; then on the other side we should also look at the income for the sale of lunches as a General Fund revenue item.1' Mr. McCray, "I see nothing wrong with your amendment asking for a study. I think that all of us would agree that we would like to see prices more stabilized...1 think that we are always reluctant to increase prices of food for our students, but there does come a time when we must face the financial reality also. May I hear your pleasure? Mr. Knight are you .making a motion to approve Item 2 under B, General Business (to reimburse Central Food Service Department $57., 300 from the General Fund for operating expenses...), with the amendment?" Mr. Knight, "Correct." Mrs. York seconded the motion.

Members of the Board continued to discuss the motion making inquiry about free lunches; ? the cost of free lunches to the school district; the number of free lunches served daily; the breakfast program in the various schools, and other. Mr. McCray directed questions to the Board regarding the amendment and the Agenda item. Mr. McCray asked, ; "You have heard the amendment. Would you like to vote on the amendment?" After j additional clarification by members of the Board, the amendment which had been i submitted by Mr. Knight was seconded by Mr. Estes that a study be made on the budgetary procedures, and the possibility of combining the Central Food Service financing as part of the General Fund budget, and that after the study has been completed that the ; report be submitted to the Board. 5

R. #131 Evaluation of Girls' Athletic Program Approved


MEETING OF MARCH 15, 1973 - CONT'D

Mr. McCray, addressing Mr. Vallejo asked, "Now what was it you wanted, sir?" In the exchange between Mr. Vallejo, Mr. McCray, and Dr. Lillard; Mr. Vallejo, a Legal Aid Society representative, inquired about a request (petition) to appear before the Board at the meeting, to be heard. Mr. McCray explained to Mr. Vallejo that his request had not been received 72 hours prior to the meeting time, one requirement included in the policy of the Board for speakers wishing to address the Board. Mr. Vallejo contended that his request related to the suspension of a pupil.

n

MR. ENGLISH - "Let me just maybe make a motion here and see what happens, but I would like to hear the reason why he was not able to get it in in time, the 72 hours in advance, you know if there is some extreme extenuating circumstance, well then..." MR. McCRAY - "I see no reason why you should not respond to that, Mr. Vallejo." Mr. Vallejo began by stating that he represented Jacqueline Jones who was expelled from school the first part of February. Mr. McCray reminded Mr. Vallejo that the Board was hearing him in relation to the reason why his request had arrived late. Mr. Vallejo continued and explained that an administrative hearing was conducted on Friday, March 9; 1973; in relation to Jacqueline Jones' suspension from school, and that a condition included in the "guidelines" of the hearing procedure is that within three days from the date of the hearing, that the student is to be notified of the result of the appeal. Mr. Vallejo continued stating that he had received the notice yesterday (March 14, 1973) and until such time that he had received the decision on the hearing, he had no reason to submit a request to be heard by the Board.

s

H j h r i; !J

Dr. Lillard briefly explained the purpose of the Administrative Appeals Panel. G Members of the Board entered the discussion. Mr. English inquired about a one-month delay before the Board would again meet to hear an appeal. In response to Dr. Lillard'sjj inquiry, Mr. Johnson remarked that the Oklahoma Statutes provide that the student h (or his/her parents) has the right to appeal from the decision of the principal, j; teacher, to the Board of Education, and the Board of Education shall cause a full jj investigation to be made of the matter and then the Board shall make a decision. ij Mr. Johnson additionally stated that the statutes do not require that a Board of h Education hear evidence and conduct a hearing similar to hearings conducted by the |! Court. Mr. Johnson stated a board of education shall be responsible for requiring an investigation. i;

Mr. McCray reminded members of the Board that the Board had refused to hear other patrons because of the submitting of a late request. Mr. English reiterated that there is a difference in a patron coming before the Board to complain about a particular situation and a student who will be required by the Board's policies to be subject to a one-month delay before being heard. He continued, "If they (the student)

p P P !' ij

Mr. McCray reminded the Board that the time factor is a part of the Board's policy. Mr. Knight expressed concern about the appeal procedure and the administrative policy dealing with such matters. Dr. Lillard, Mr. Knight, and Mr. McCray further discussed the appeals procedure. After additional response by other members of the Board, Mrs. York stated, "I would really like to make a motion that we hear each patron or

(Dr. Moon interrupted the discussion to inform the President and the members of the Board that because of a previous engagement he must depart the meeting.)

| H

Mr. McCray asked Mrs. York to restate her motion. Mrs. York, "I would just like to make a motion that we hear the patrons at each board meeting, every first Monday and every Thursday, for the twelve minutes." Mr. Estes questioned the motion as to the subjects to be heard. Mr. Knight questioned the .motion suggesting that priority should be considered on hearings for students who are attempting to be admitted back in school. Mr. Knight also suggested 5 minutes (as an amendment to the motion) in lieu of the 12 minutes included in Mrs. York's motion. Mr. Estes inquired if Mrs. York would be agreeable for an amendment to her motion. Mr. McCray reminded the Board that "Mrs. York's motion does not have a second and that we do not have a second to the amendment." Mr. Estes stated, "I will second it (the motion) with the privilege of an amendment to it."

i

Mrs. York inquired about a second amendment to her motion. Mr. Estes, "My amendment (the second amendment to the motion) is that it would apply to suspensions or expulsions of students." Mrs. York voiced negative response to Mr. Estes' amendment. After additional exchange between members of the Board, Mr. McCray stated, "There is a motion before the Board. Do I have a second to Mr. Knight's motion, or perhaps to his amendment?" Mrs. York questioned Mr. Knight's amendment since she had been responsible for .making the original .motion.

MEETING OF MARCH 15, 1973 - CONT'D R. #132 Mr. English stated, "I will make a substitute motion (and wipe out all other motions and amendments), I move that we hear the gentleman (Mr. Vallejo) and that we then (Substitute Motion) Policy work out a policy for the next time which would get down to the issue of hearing student discipline case appeals on Mondays and Thursdays." In response to Mr. McCray's to be Worked Out inquiry regarding a second to the substitute motion, Mrs. York stated, "Yes, I did." in Hearing Stu(seconded the motion). At Mr. McCray's inquiry, Mr. English restated his substitute dent Discipline Case Appeals motion. Mr. McCray then inquired from Mrs. York regarding her second to the substitute motion. After additional discussion between Mrs. York and Mr. McCray about the previous motion, Mr. Estes seconded Mr. English's substitute motion. On roll call to the substitute motion, all members voted "Aye".

Mr. McCray explained again to Mr. Vallejo regarding the policies of the Board. Mr. Vallejo responded to Mr. McCray's explanation. Mr. Vallejo proceeded to explain the content of his message (hearing) to the Board. He referred to a student affairs brochure and questioned portions of the procedures outlined in the brochure. At the end of his presentation, Mr. McCray asked Dr. Lillard to investigate the matter presented by Mr. Vallejo and convey the information to the Board as soon as possible.

Dr. Krob .made inquiry to Mr. Johnson regarding the technicality of the substitute motion and its relation to other motions and amendments. Mr. Johnson stated the substitute motion wiped out everything on motions and amendments which preceded the substitute. Mrs. York stated, "I will .make a new .motion that we hear delegations on the first Monday and every third Thursday because we already do this; we hear from the children, and the parents are at a disadvantage because you cannot tell the child from the parent when they send in the request to speak, and we are hearing the children both times, and this is putting the parents at a disadvantage because many times we need to hear from these parents..." Mr. McCray inquired from other members of the Board regarding a second. Dr. Krob referred to hearing students through their student representatives or their student council and not students as individuals. After additional responses by .members of the Board, Mrs. York stated, "I will withdraw my motion provided that we have it on the Agenda and bring it up again on the first Monday." Mr. McCray stated, "I think you are right. The .matter does need a lot of study and I do not think we should Jump too hastily into a subject which is this important." Mr. Knight .moved that a study be made on student transportation safety; in making the study that we involve the Oklahoma County Safety Council; the Independent Insurance Agents Association; and the Southwest Safety Center, Central State University; and that the study cover the entire area of student transportation safety, and that the findings of the study be submitted to the Board at an early date. The motion was seconded by Mrs. York. Responding to inquiry by Dr. Lillard regarding definition of the scope of the study and the expenditures to be involved, Mr. Knight further clarified his motion that the study should relate to the training of school district employed bus drivers, the licensing procedure of all bus drivers, and on like subjects for leased buses and drivers for bus leasing firms. Upon additional inquiry regarding clarification of the study, Mr. Knight suggested that we use one representative from the Independent Insurance Agents Association, one person from the Southwest Safety Center, Central State University, and one person from the Oklahoma County Safety Council. The motion carried unanimously on roll call.

Mr. Johnson reported: (1)

Attorney's Repor

Last Thursday, we (independent School District Number 89 of Oklahoma County, j C. B. McCray, President; Bill Lillard, Superintendent) were a party in a ; hearing in the United States District Court on the Application for a Temporary Injunction against the Board of Education to prohibit the Board from enforcing its maternity leave policy.

| Auditors' Report |

Mr. Knight inquired regarding an Activity Fund accounting number, #2020, an Instructional Supply Fee Account relating to a payment of $2.00 per semester per student. Dr. Lillard made inquiry, identifying the question. Mr. Knight made additional inquiry regarding collections and expenditure of the fund during the same school year which the fund is collected. s j Dr. Lillard, "These funds are spent on an annual basis; collected and spent for the |

purpose for which they are collected."

Mr. Knight cited specific examples in some schools where end of year balances;

succeeding year collections; and following year balances are greater than what we started the year with in that account...My concern is that there were seven or eight schools that did have sizable balances in those accounts. I question the need to collect that money.

Members of the Board continued to discuss the matter.

Dr. Lillard and Mr. Moak

responded, to statements and questions.

Mr. Estes asked regarding our authorization (legal) to collect fees. Mr. Johnson responded by stating that the money collected is not an educational fee It is money to at all, it is a collection to pay for supplies, pencils, paper, etc. pay for supplies that the school district does not otherwise provide for students. Members of the Board and the Superintendent continued to discuss the subject.

Treasurer's Report

A routine financial report was given by Mr. Green.

Discussion Investment of Funds

Mr. English, "I have been going through some of our Treasurer's monthly reports...I think we can .make .money by investing some of our General and Building Levy Funds...I would like to make a motion."

R. #139

Mr. McCray, responding to the remarks, suggested that Mr. George H. C. Green, Treasurer, .might wish to make comments. Mr. English directed an inquiry to Mr. Green regarding investments in short term treasury bills. Mr. Green .made a general statement regarding the investment of school district funds.

Investment of Funds Approved

(Copy on file in Clerk's office.)

Mr. English directed inquiry to Mr. Harry Johnson for an interpretation of the law relating to investments. Mr. Johnson responded, "We have a state law whereby the school board shall, each month, set aside funds to an 'operating account' and to a 'surplus account'. The treasurer of the school district shall invest the full amount of the 'surplus account'. We, in the past, thought it was more or less impossible to determine how much would be 'surplus' which could be invested. We decided that it was almost impossible to comply with the Statutes. We have another statute (a statute other than the one relating to 'surplus account' and operating account') which does authorize investment of General Funds; however, like any other funds, you can't invest your funds or put the funds into investments which will .mature beyond the date which the money will be needed. You must determine your needs." Members of the Board continued to discuss the subject and called on Hugh and- George Green for comments and responses.

Dr. Lillard made suggestions regarding the retaining of ample funds, a cash requirement for at least 75 days.

J

Mr. Green remarked that he would not advise investments of funds from the General Fund for more than a period of 30 days. At the conclusion of the discussion Mr. English made the following motion which was "I move that all school district funds, when available, may seconded by Mr. Knight. be invested by the school district Treasurer based on the following criteria:

"Invest only cash funds, including proceeds from school bonds, funds available from the sinking fund, funds available from the Building Levy Fund, and General Fund cash.

"Invest ...cash only after a determination of available excess cash has been made .* "Invest cash in Treasury Bills only, with the amount of investment to vary depending on needs, and of 30-day, 60-day, 9O_(3-ay, or 180-day duration. "Require all payments to the district be made hy check to the Treasurer of the district. "Deposit all earnings from investments in the General Fund of the school district, with the exception of earnings from investments of school bond proceeds and sinking fund cash which may be deposited in the sinking fund of the district."

All .members voted "Aye" on roll call. R. #170

A .motion was made by Mr. English and seconded by Dr. Moon to accept the reports as presented. The .motion carried unanimously.

Mr. Knight remarked, "In view of (needed changes) maybe we should identify the modification as recommended; that we will recognize the official holiday (on a Monday even though it may fall on another day) whatever it may be, and in that way we..(will not be required) to switch the date, thus allowing the flexibility to deal with it (similar [ conditions)." J I Dr. Lillard responded that the approach would be a good amendment for the upcoming Memorial Day (Wednesday, May 30, 1973), but that we would be following the same procedure on an annual basis in addition to (other holidays). Mr. Knight responded, "I think maybe all holidays, all holidays that we recognize

Modification of 1972-73 School

; ?

Calendar Approved i - cont'd i

I j

Dr. Lillard, "I would like to remind the Board and staff and patrons of the community that with our anticipated loss of an additional 3;000 pupils for the 1973-74 school year; we indicated that by a process of attrition, we would need approximately 200 fewer teachers next year than we have the present year. For your information, Tulsa is planning to inform 300 teachers that they will not be re-hired for the following year. The Midwest City Schools' Superintendent has informed his staff and patrons that if there is the loss of Impact Aid, Midwest City will probably reduce their number of teachers by approximately 100.

j s

"Throughout our school system, teachers and other employees, and the Central Office h staff, will be affected to the same degree, about a 5$ reduction in our Central Office

‘ i \

\ J

j

staff. We hope to accomplish this reduction by attrition as we have been trying to do with the other employees of the school system. In addition to certificated staff,

j!

| i

the overall reduction will also apply to secretarial, clerical, and all of the other employee categories we have. And, again, the method of reducing the staff for the 1973-74 school year will be by the process of attrition.

! I I

"To .make the Board members aware of this fact that occasionally as resignations occur in the remainder portion of this year, in many instances those positions will not be filled if we can possibly get along without filling the positions.

i

"The Central Office staff is a part of the overall school system; and we have to share the traumatic burden of reducing our Central Office staff as the entire system h is doing. As we reduce Central Office staff, we will be reducing services to the H buildings. i;

| | I

"We do not know what final legislation will be passed by the State Legislature dealing with appropriations for schools, but with our reduction in Average Daily Attendance, we stand to lose from about $2# to $2# million, and by another computation

I Personnel Approved

On inquiry from Mr. McCray, Dr. Moon did not choose to withdraw his original motion. Mr. Estes, on inquiry from Mr. McCray, seconded Mr. Knight's (remarks) amendment. On roll call to the amendment, six members voted "Aye". Dr. Moon voted "Nay". On roll call to the original motion, all members voted "Aye". The modification in the calendar was approved as presented. Dr. Lillard presented Dr. Wallace Smith, member of the Liaison Committee to the Biracial Committee, who reported on the recent meetings of the Biracial Committee.

method, maybe over $3 .million. I am certain that each and every Board Member is aware that we need more services in buildings; we probably need more employees, but when you are reducing budget, reducing personnel, reducing the staff, then you are not adding to the program at the same time. These are just the very gloomy but realistic facts."

He stated, "And I checked with both the State Department of Public Education and the Motor Vehicle, the Excise Board that deals with motor fuels, and there is, the only thing that we have to do is that, we already have a certificate that allows us to buy the gasoline, and we can furnish it to the contractors, and we can ask the contractors to rebate or reduce their contract price that amount of money." Mr. Knight continued , "â– 'And I would like to move that we institute that plan as soon as possible." He continued., "And I don't know if we can institute it yet this year; but quickly as possible so that we can pick up..." I hope that we can move as ;

Mr. Allan Williams responding to inquiries from the Board stated; "We found that the contractors do have their own (gasoline storage) tanks...they have their buses centralized well enough now so that they have large enough tanks that we could have gasoline delivered to their tanks. The problem lies in certifying that the gasoline is used only for transporting school children. All three of our contractors operate buses for churches and for other groups, and I don't know; it seems to me that in order for us to certify that the gasoline that we put in their tanks is used only for transporting our school children, we would need one of our employees there to dispense the gasoline into their buses."

I think that we could go into the Court at anytime if we have some basis for going, and ask the Court to reopen our case.

Mrs. York, again, made inquiry to Mr. Johnson regarding a quotation, "Education, of course, is not among the rights afforded explicit protection under our Constitution."

Mrs. York remarked, "If I would withdraw my motion and put it in the form of a resoj lution to this Board to study this, and that if they have not reversed their decision j or got another decision by that time, you know contrary to this, if they still hold \ to this decision, then my resolution would be that this Boardgo on record as instruct-i ing Mir.

Per previous action by the Board, Dr. Lillard presented Mr. Allan Williams, Director of Transportation, who gave two brief reports as follows: Tax Exempt Gasoline for Contractors

Floyd Garrett would prefer that we initiate this program next school year rather than trying to start it this year. Herb Hudson cannot initiate program during current school year. He has an annual contract for gasoline with his own supplier which expires in August. Larry Lucas will receive gasoline from our supplier beginning Friday, April 20, 1973. Amount received will be deducted @ .2423 per gallon, from final payment for this school year. There are several ways that this program may be handled. There are some complicating factors, and additional information and recommendations will be presented to the Board at a later date.

MEETING OF APRIL 19, 1973 - CONT'D Council is now working on this study. They have requested information from the National Safety Council in addition to the sources requested, and will notify us when they have completed their work. (3)

j Information to j the Board cont'd !

Dr. Lillard presented Dr. Wallace Smith, a member of the Board's Liaison Committee; to the Biracial Committee. Dr. Smith reported on recent meetings of the Biracial > Committee. Dr. Smith gave copies of information regarding pupil expulsions for ■ the 1972-73 school year to members of the Board. This information will be furnished to the Biracial Committee at the request of the Committee Chairman.

R. #167 Question to be Directed to Judgi Re Biracial Committee Meetin,

Following Dr. Smith's report, Mrs. York questioned the attorney as to why the Biracial Committee is permitted to have closed meetings.

Mr. Johnson - "The Oklahoma City Board of Education is bound by State Law, and the law prohibits public bodies from having executive meetings or closed meetings. The Biracial Committee is not subject to our state laws." i;

Mrs. York inquiring further, asked, "Has that question relating to the Biracial Committee holding closed meetings ever been asked the Judge?" Mr. Johnson responded, "Not that I know of."

Mrs. York, after additional comments on the subject, moved that we instruct our attorney (Mr. Harry Johnson) to ask the Judge (Judge Luther Bohanon) why they (Biracial Committee) can have a closed meeting. On roll call to the motion, all members voted "Aye". (4) Dr. Lillard presented Mr. Eugene Dipboye, Director of Athletics, Safety and Driver Education, who gave an oral and visual aid report on sports activities for girls in the Oklahoma City School System. Mr. Dipboye responded to questions and comments by members of the Board.

(At this point, the meeting was recessed for five minutes by the President of the Board.) (5)

Dr. Lillard distributed to members of the Board copies of the Board's Biannual Report to the Court on the Maintenance of a Unitary School System, the report which is due by May 1, 1973*

Mr. McCray - "I would entertain a motion that we accept the material presented and instruct that the information; the Oklahoma City Biannual Report on the Maintenance of a Unitary School System, which is due May 1, 1973> De filed in the United States District Court, consistent with the Court's Order of December 3, 1971•" Mr. English - "I so move."

j R. #168

< J i ; ;

The motion was seconded by Dr. Krob and carried unanimously on roll call.

(6) j

Dr. Lillard presented as a recommendation to the Board, a Revision of the Personnel'~Policies relating to maternity leave. Dr. Lillard continued, "...I \ would appreciate a comment from Mr. Johnson, our attorney, concerning the recent opinion of the Tenth Circuit Court of Appeals regarding the guidelines established by the United States Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, and with pending litigation in the Federal Court." Dr. Lillard informed the Board "that we have surveyed .many of the surrounding school systems - Wichita, Kansas; Tulsa, Oklahoma and Dallas, Texas, and these school systems are presently utilizing a policy that I am recommending. This recommendation .makes provisions that cumulative sick leave shall be granted for personal illness; for temporary disability; serious • illness in the immediate family; and special obligations or emergencies of a I personal business nature; so that cumulative sick leave that an employee has, if they desire to utilize this leave as the result of a temporary disability, pregnancy or childbirth, are free to do so.

"I think it is obvious that if they have accumulated sick leave, they can only use it one time; whether they use it for sick leave, illness, childbirth, or whatever the case .might be."

1

Mr. Johnson There are conflicting decisions by the Courts, and particularly the Circuit Courts. The Supreme Court has not, at this date, passed on the question. There is a case on appeal to the United States Supreme Court at this time. It is immaterial that we are involved in a lawsuit. The Board, in the past, has recognized that if the law makes a requirement, regardless of whether the Board is being sued, the Board will comply with the law to the best of its ability. It seems to be federal policy that pregnancy or childbirth shall be considered the same as any other temporary disability, and that a school district cannot adopt a policy which can be applied only to one sex. The statement, the recommendation read by Dr. Lillard is a guideline that has been made by the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, and until the Supreme Court

overturns it, it is public policy from the federal standpoint. The decision by the Circuit Court of Appeals will be binding on our local federal District Court until the Supreme Court has spoken. All indications are, and the trend is that a maternity leave policy such as ours will not stand up under present court decisions." Mr. McCray - "I think it has always been the policy of the Board that when things come up that need revision, that we do ask the Administrative Staff to make their recommendations. ...I know that each Board Member will be most interested in studying this recommendation, and then acting upon it at another time, possibly the next official meeting of the Board which is the first Monday of the month. I know that a lot of our policies need to be revised, and we do that consistently with the changing of times and conditions."

Other members of the Board directed questions to Mr. Johnson and responded to the recommendation by the Superintendent. R. #169 ! Personnel ; Policies Re Maternity Leave | Taken Under |

Advisement

Dr. Lillard - "My presentation is in terms of a recommendation; and again, I think it is at the discretion of the members of the Board, whether they desire to take it under advisement and react as indicated, possibly, next regular business meeting of the Board."

Mr. Estes - "I will make that as a motion." The motion was seconded by Dr. Moon. Mr. McCray remarked that the motion had been made and seconded, "that we consider this (the recommendation relating to personnel policies to be considered at the Board's meeting, Monday, May 7> 1973)•"

i

Statement ! Dr. Lillard

(On a roll.call to the motion taken after Dr. Lillard's following statement, all members voted "Aye".)

"...I think by now the local news media have covered rather thoroughly the vacancy in the superintendency of Jacksonville, Florida. I had commented on a previous occasion that in February I was contacted by the chairman of the consulting panel. He indicated that the Committee would like to interest me in considering the position; thought I was possibly the kind of person that the Committee should consider. You notice I am distinguishing between the Committee and the Board of Education. I indicated to Dr. Bert Sharp, Dean of Education of the College of Education, Florida State University; and obviously, I was honored for the professional recognition by my peers; that I did not .maintain an active employment file, and certainly, if the Duvall County Board of Education desired, I would be honored to visit with them concerning the position. "I want to stress that I have not made formal application for the position; the Committee recommended four other gentlemen who are well qualified administrators, and I think in very responsible positions. "I think it is professional recognition for the Oklahoma City School System, and possibly recognition for myself as a practicing school administrator.

"...May I say that the rumors of my pending departure are greatly exaggerated. I do have an interview scheduled for Thursday, May 3, as all of the other members or names that were submitted by the Committee. It is purely, I think, professional recognition, and I think it would be impolite and disrespectful of me not to accept the invitation at their expense to come down and visit with them; and it does include the family." (Mr. Estes, followed by other members of the Board, made appropriate remarks related to the comments by Dr. Lillard.)

Dr. Lillard concluded by stating, "...I think I owe this to the Board and to the community to make a statement, and I may never have a decision to make, but I thought it would be well to maybe 'clear the air' just a little bit." ENCUMBRANCES AND PURCHASING

Shirley Ann Nero - Teacher - Wheeler School Subject: Failure to Renew Teacher Contract

Mr. McCray, speaking to Miss Nero, informed her - you (or your counsel) have the right under the law to facr your accusers; to cross-examine and to offer any witnesses; to refute the statement of the cause given for not renewing your teacher contract for the ensuing school year. Mr. McCray called on Dr. Lillard to give additional information to the Board on this subject. Dr. Lillard, addressing the Board, stated that Miss Nero is a teacher at Wheel.er ’School; she was notified on April 5, 1973, "by certified letter from the Executive Director of Personnel, Mr. Robert Cheney, that her contract would not be renewed for 1973-7^- school year. Dr. Lillard also stated that Board Members are familiar with the Oklahoma School Law concerning renewal of teacher contracts. A teacher so advised (of nonrenewal of contract) has the right to appear before the Board as Mr. McCray has indicated. She can be represented by counsel; she can face her accusers, and has a right to cross-examination. The Board of Education's responsibility is to conduct the hearing and then reach a decision concerning the matter. The hearing procedures do not end with the Oklahoma City I Board of Education. Any (terminated) teacher who chooses has a right to appeal j to the Professional Practices Commission. The teacher also has a right to | appeal to the State Board of Education; and then at a laterdate, to institute j action in District Court if he or she desires. i

j I | Mr. Johnson stated that Mr. Bill Shehorne is the principal of Wheeler Elementaryj School where this teacher has taught or is teaching this present year (1972-73), | and he (Mr. Shehorne) initiated the recommendation that her (Miss Nero's) j contract not be renewed for next (1973“7^) school year. Mr. Johnson suggested I that Mr. Shehorne be called to state briefly the reasons for his recommendation, I and then present Miss Nero or her counsel to proceed with the cross-examination, j Mr. McCray inquired of Mr. Johnson for advice or suggestions as to the legal procedure which the Board should follow .in these hearings.

Ms. Tyree, attorney for Miss Nero, prior to proceeding with her cross-examina-

tion, made requests for transcription of the testimony and proceedings.

Ms. Tyree and Mr. Johnson exchanged comments and views regarding the Oklahoma State Administrative Procedures as these procedures may or may not relate to Miss Nero's hearing.

After additional exchange between members of the Board, Attorneys Tyree and Johnson, and the Superintendent, Dr. Krob stated, "It has been indicated by three members of this Board that they don't have enough information to make a decision on this matter; I am about to Join them.

R. #186 Personnel to be Instructed to Cooperate With Attorney J I

Mr. English - "I would like to make a motion that we instruct our personnel to cooperate with Miss Nero's attorney, and appear here if asked, at the Tuesday hearing. I don't think that a Judge is necessarily helping the defense when he fulfills or approves the defense's request for subpoenas to subpoena witnesses. I don't think that is necessarily prejudging by the Judge. So I think this is quite appropriate here."

Mrs. York - "I will second his motion."

Guests Welcomed

Mr. McCray advised, "To insure that fair treatment is given to everyone concerned, we should decide on procedure for the continuation of this hearing. If there are not any objections from the members of the Board, the following procedure will be followed.

"Mr. Larry French will (for the Board) interrogate witnesses with a view of bringing out information to the Board. "Mr. Harry Johnson will act as legal advisor to the Board, and will rule on all questions or objections by either of the attorneys who are interrogating witnesses.

"For clarification, it should be pointed out that this is a meeting (as required by law) of the Board of Education sitting as a board and not as a tribunal or Court of Law, hearing Miss Nero, a teacher in our system who has received notice of termination. "In our meeting of Thursday, April 19> 1973; members of the Board of Education requested more information be given us concerning Miss Nero's personnel file and other pertinent information, prior to a continuance of the meeting to be held on Tuesday, (today), at 7:00 p.m. This information has been given to members of the Board, and also to Ms. Tyree, attorney for Miss Nero.

"At the conclusion of our session last Thursday (April 19; 1973)> Ms. Tyree had asked to cross-examine Mr. Elbert Jones, who was (during the period from the beginning of the 1972-73 school year to mid-March, 1973)} at the time of the evaluation (re: Miss Nero), assistant principal of Wheeler Elementary School. "Ms. Tyree, would you like to proceed with your cross-examination?"

Mr. McCray then invited Mr. Elbert Jones to be seated near a microphone so that the cross-examination might begin. Ms. Tyree proceeded with her cross-examination of Mr. Jones. At the conclusion of Ms. Tyree's examination, Mr. Larry French also cross-examined Mr. Jones. The two attorneys, Mr. French and Ms. Tyree, proceeded with their cross-examinations by calling district employees and a school patron. In addition to those persons called by the two attorneys, members of the Board also called and questioned other staff personnel. The order of call, the person called, attorney who called the person, the Board Member who called the person, and the sequence of questioning follows:

The Chair would entertain a motion that we reaffirm the decision to not renew the contract for Miss Shirley Ann Nero for the 1973-74 school year."

j:

Mr. English - "I so move."

Mr. Knight - "Second."

Mr. McCray stated, "You have heard the .motion and the second, is there discussion or questions?"

Mrs. York spoke first and expressed favoring that Miss Nero be given one additional year on her teacher contract.

u

|j

Dr. Krob stated that Miss Nero has been evaluated by her peers and judged incompetent. H He also mentioned an injustice to the teacher if we (the Board) are wrong. He also [; spoke of a greater injustice to the students if the teacher is incompetent. H i| Mr. English spoke first of dismissal of teachers in a prior year. He made mention of insufficient information being presented to the Board at the Thursday, April 19, 1973 t meeting regarding dismissal of Miss Nero; of the Board not being a "rubber stamp"; Sj of gratitude for the information which had been presented to the Board for today's j: meeting. j! Mr. Estes expressed concern and was critical that the school administration had allowed a teacher to remain in the school system six years before a decision was made to terminate the teacher. He admonished that we should not let this same thing happen again. He reaffirmed that a weak teacher should not continue as a teacher in the school system.

H j'

' J

Dr. Moon spoke of Miss Nero having taught only under one principal that had recommended her termination. Others had pointed out her weaknesses, but had mentioned that she ! had made improvement; that she had made steady effort to improve; that she has a I Bachelor Degree and a Master Degree and is beginning study on a Doctorate. He spoke of the recommendation for termination by one principal. He suggested giving Miss Nero another chance. ; j Mr. Knight expressed agreement with Mr. Estes, that six years is a long period of i time before being judged incompetent. He mentioned that the decision of the Board || was whether to, or whether not to, uphold the decision that had been previously made for Miss Nero's termination. ji Mr. McCray stated, "If there are no other remarks, we will call for the vote."

(

Voting "Aye" - Mr. English, Mr. Estes, Mr. Knight, Dr. Krob, and Mr. McCray. Voting "Nay" - Dr. Moon and Mrs. York.

LEGAL AND FINANCIAL REPORTS

j

Mr. Johnson - (1) At the meeting of April 19; 1973; I was directed to research and report to the Board regarding a request from Eugene Rosen, teacher; on the question of whether his Juris Doctor Degree would entitle him to the compensation payable for a doctors degree on our salary schedule. I have found and I quote, "The word doctor is derived from the latin term doctus meaning learned, and from docio meaning teacher." Another quote from the civil law, "One who has received from a university the last and highest academic degree, constituting a license to teach anywhere the subject or subjects for which the degree was conferred." It is my opinion that the doctors spoken of in our salary schedule are those doctorates in "teaching" and not a juris doctor degree. I have also been advised by a representative from the State Department of Education that only "teaching doctors" are entitled to the salaries that were payable to doctors. It would be my recommendation that the Board deny the application of Mr. Rosen.

i i

i ;

j

i y

N

ji !|

j I i

The Board does have the authority, if it wishes to do so, to create a special classification for this degree and pay additional compensation. Mr. Rosen's degree does not, under the existing salary schedules, qualify the teacher to receive additional compensation.

•

j j

!

(2) At the meeting of April 19; 1973; I was asked to inquire into the reason why the Biracial Committee can hold closed meetings, whereas boards of education cannot hold such meetings. I made the inquiry of the Court and was advised that the Oklahoma Statutes do not control meetings of the Biracial Committee. The Court authorized the Committee to adopt its own rules and procedures to govern its meetings, and it was within the powers given to the Committee by the Court to decide to conduct closed meetings if it wished to do so. (3) Wednesday, May 2, 1973; I received interrogatories from counsel for the plaintiff in our integration case. Court rules provide that interrogatories can be submitted to the opposing party. We have 30 days to answer the interrogatories. I won't read the entire list; however, they are requiring us to set forth any changes that we are contemplating in the desegregation plan for next school year; they are wanting projected enrollment and capacity by race and grade for a number of schools. There are nine interrogatories. Most of this information was included in the report we filed with the Court due May 1, 1973- The information is being compiled and will be furnished in accordance with the Court rules in due time.

I s

(4) In the federal court case of Jacqueline Jones versus the Oklahoma City School District, the Court was asked to compel the Board to reinstate a student who had been expelled. Judge Chandler ruled today that there was no merit to the case, and dismissed the case.

Dr. Lillard - On item 3; Mr. Johnson, we will follow our usual procedure; after the information is gathered, it will be presented to the members of the Board for their review and comments before it is presented to the Court?

Mr. Johnson responded, affirmatively.

Report = Mr. Allan Williams - Director of Transportation

| I

Information to the Board Dr. Lillard presented Mr. Allan Williams, Director of Transportation. Mr. Williams - In reference to the Board's action on Tax Exempt Gasoline for Contractors; it now appears that this program cannot be initiated until the beginning of the 1973-74 school year. Our present gasoline supplier has refused to make deliveries to locations other than those listed in our annual (1972-73) agreement for gasoline. This refusal, according to the company representative, is for these reasons: (1) Since our current price on gasoline was quoted June, 1972, prices have increased. The supplier is now losing .money on all deliveries to the Oklahoma City School System. The supplier will, however, continue to .make these deliveries to our two locations previously specified until June 30, 1973(2) The supply of gasoline now available will not permit additional commitments by our supplier.

Dr. Lillard - Our gasoline supplier is now losing money; our quotation is for a year (1972-73);I think we are going to find that as soon as this contract expires, if we can get a 30-day commitment on gasoline prices, we will be doing quite well.

I

Mirs. York asked about the availability of gasoline to operate school buses.

I

Mir. Knight inquired, "Are you saying that the supplier refused to deliver to the bus

I

Mr. Williams - They refused to add any additional delivery locations. We now require two locations. In our next agreement (after June 30, 1973), we will want to also

| I

contractors, or that they refused to increase the amount which they were going to supply to us?"

consider the three additional locations for contractors.

Mr. Knight - I wonder whether or not we would want to check the legality of the supplier's refusal to deliver to additional locations. If we change our locations, the contract is still valid; the location of the tank is not necessarily the issue... (cont’d)


101

MEETING OF MAY 7, 1973 - CONT'D

Dr. Lillard, and. Mr. Williams responded, to additional questions, re: binding contracts and others.

Mr. Knight - I would like to at least see us check the legality of their refusal to deliver to additional locations.

§

Mr. McCray referred to Mr. Johnson the request of Mr. Knight in regard to checking the legality of the gasoline company's refusal to deliver.

Dr. Lillard presented Dr. Wallace Smith, Director of Buildings and Grounds, for a progress report on the additional facility at Douglass High School. Dr. Smith presented Mr. Richard L. Dunham, Architect, who gave a report (oral and visual) of preliminary plans on the proposed additional facility (girls' gymnasium) at Douglass High School. Mr. Dunham and Dr. Smith responded to comments and questions by members of the Board, There was special concern by Dr. Moon as to the type of floor, and Mrs. York as to the type of ceiling proposed by the architect.

Report ! Mr. Richard L. Dunham, Architec for Girls' j Gymnasium i Douglass High School j

Dr. Lillard read a prepared statement - his decision regarding the position offer as Superintendent of Duval County Schools, Jacksonville, Florida, as follows:

Statement Dr. Lillard

I have reported to the Board previously concerning the invitation to visit with Jacksonville (Duval County) Board of Education. Certainly there is no need to ! review that data. I did meet with the Jacksonville Board last Thursday night j for approximately 2^- hours. Last Saturday, May at approximately midnight | I was contacted by Mr. William Carter, Chairman of the Jacksonville Board. He | informed me of the Board's decision on Friday night and indicated they were i extending an invitation to me to become Superintendent of Schools of Duval ; County. Mr. Carter further indicated that they would be in contact with me to i negotiate the terms of a contract. I indicated that my first obligation is to the Oklahoma City Board of Education and no decision would be made until I had discussed the matter with my Board. In addition I mentioned that the Oklahoma i City Board of Education would hold a regularly scheduled meeting on Monday, May 7; at 7^00 p.m. My intent is to keep the Oklahoma City Board fully informed, j It appears to me that, per usual as Superintendent, I have a most difficult I decision to make. I am the only one that can make the decision. Certainly I i have received considerable advice and counsel concerning this decision. i I I believe that it is imperative for the welfare of two important educational j systems that a decision be announced as early as possible. Further delay could I do infinite damage to the morale of the staff, students, and patrons of both \ Oklahoma City and Jacksonville. ! Obviously I am not indispensable as Superintendent of the Oklahoma City Public § Schools. No man or woman is indispensable. I should indicate that salary has I practically nothing to do with my decision. Also, as of this date,' no salary J has been discussed with Duval County or the Oklahoma City Board of Education. ! The latter would be inappropriate, unethical, and unthinkable in my professional ! judgment. ; i

The availability of an extended contract to cover more than one year is not a final determining factor. Many personal factors have been considered. It would be most difficult for me to forget that I am a native Oklahoman and a product of public tax-supported education in Oklahoma.

! ’ > \

Since I have been Superintendent the Oklahoma City School System has gone through .many difficult years; probably none more difficult than this year. What this school system needs is an opportunity for stability and tranquillity; not a status quo but continued progress. We are still under a Court Order. Therefore, after thoughtful and prayerful deliberation, I have decided not to accept the I invitation of the Duval County Board of Education. I wish them well in their | search for a Superintendent and continued success as a school system. I am j honored by their invitation. There is a great amount of work to be accomplished | in Oklahoma City. The Board, staff, patrons, and pupils should all get on with | solutions to present problems and the continued improvement of the Oklahoma City j Public Schools. I pledge my support to the accomplishment of these tasks. I PERSONNEL REPORT

|

A motion was .made by Dr. Krob and seconded by Mr. English that the listed persons be employed and that contracts with the teachers listed on the form approved be executed in the name of the District by the Superintendent or persons by him designated; also, that other personnel recommendations and information listed be approved. The .motion carried unanimously on roll call.

NEW BUSINESS Appointment to Stadium Board

Mr. McCray - I am appointing Mr. Phil Knight to be a member of the Taft Stadium Board The President of the Board of Education in making an appointment of this kind, tries to relate to the area where the stadium is located.

R. #213 Board Member Committee to Investigate Feasibility of Developing Long Range Plans Approved

Mr. Knight - I have a motion that I would like to make. My motion relates to the matter of developing long range directions in cooperation with interested and concerned citizens. I move that three members of the Board representing the Central East, South and North areas of District I-89 be appointed to a committee immediately, to investigate the feasibility of developing long range directions for District I-89 in cooperation with interested and concerned community groups and citizens, and report to the Board regarding a time schedule following their first meeting.

Dr. Krol Mr. Knight

You do include students in (the category of) citizens, I suppose? At this point, I am recommending three members of the Board.

(Having received an Mr. McCray - A committee, to explore that type of service. reaction from Mr. English stated) Mr. English has seconded the motion, affirmative are there any questions?

Mr. English - I would like to amend the motion. An amendment to include on this committee who is going to study the possibility; a representative of the PTA; a representative of the Elementary Principals Association; a representative of the Secondary Principals Association; a representative of the Oklahoma City Chamber of Commerce; and a representative of the Title I Parents Advisory Committee; and representatives of these various groups, to be selected by their respective groups. In the long run, if we decide to go to this, we are going to have to involve the people too, and I think it would be well to include them right at the first.

Mrs. York It doesn't really have to involve our Chamber of Commerce or PTA; their voices can be heard on the third Thursday just like anyone else's. I don't think that we need... We are asking for another little Biracial Committee when you get into things like that. Now I would gladly have seconded Mr. Knight's motion, but your amendment (Mr. English's), I cannot go along with because I think you are just inviting trouble when you invite people outside like that to came in and start running our business, because you are going to have a majority there, you are going to have a vote; you are not going to be able to control this; and you are going to be right back in a big hassle. So I would support his motion; I would have seconded it, but not the amendment. Mr. English - Let me include, on that proposed amendment, a representative of the Student Council Organization of the System, so that we have the students involved.

Mr. Estes - Are you going to leave the teachers out of it? Mr. English - No, I am sorry, did I not mention... yes, tte Association of Classroom Teachers.

MEETING OF MAY 7, 1973 - CONT'D

R. #213 Dr. Moon - You are getting it large now. I think, Mr. English, that there would, he a meeting of the Committee, and. that Committee could, discuss whether it would, include Board Member these groups you are speaking of or some other groups. The Committee would bring i Committee to Investigate its recommendation back to the Board for its approval. I am sure that it is going Feasibility of to be done that way... I believe that way, you would give an opportunity for more considerate study.

Dr. Krob - Recently while attending our national meeting, I talked with a member of a Florida Board of Education who said that their meetings were televised over educational TV. Is there any possibility that our meeting could be televised?

j j i

Dr. Lillard - We could check the matter; depending on whether we were thinking of using channel 25 or 13- There have been school districts that have utilized television which have dropped the practice for interesting reasons; others continue to use this practice. Sometimes, for example, in Jacksonville, they tape their meetings and have a delayed playback over the educational channel. I would be happy to contact our staff and report at the next meeting.

The motion carried.

Mr. McCray - Are there any other things under New Business to be considered at this time?

Mrs. York - I would like some information, if I may. I don't know exactly who can answer me; and I don't mean to embarass anyone when I ask this question. But I had a very influential .man call me today and asked me not to use his name which I won't, I could, but I won't. And he asked me to ask this Board and a few from the Central Office this question; when we had our books audited, or when the State Examiners, State Education Examiners audited the books for pupil transportation, on pupil transportation, how many discrepancies were found, and does this administration know about the'errors that were .made in that, and were the principals asked to pad their attendance record and their transportation record? This is exactly; and I was floored, gentlemen, when I got that call. Dr. Lillard - I can answer the last part of your question; there have been no instructions to any principal or any teacher to falsify any report. I have not seen

a copy of the Pupil Transportation Department's study of the Oklahoma City School System. I would, he happy to get a copy of said, report and. share it with the Board., hut I think the Oklahoma City School System is well aware that we are very much in the public eyes, and. I think State Examiners and. Inspectors, because of the convenience, the friendly climate and atmosphere and location, spend more time in our building than practically any other school system. But we caution all of our people to certify reports to be accurate to the best of their intentions. So I can check with Mr. Williams and get a copy of said report.

(Discussion continued between Dr. Lillard, Mirs. York, and members of the Board.) Mr. McCray - I could see no reason why we should not examine the report, and I know Mir. Arlie Crocker, real well, and I know that he would not falsify anything either. I think he is most professional, and I think that he would investigate and also make a true report. So we will have the report for all of our use. Mr. McCray, returning to a previous action by the Board to form a committee of the Board; at this time I would like to appoint the three member committee: Dr. Krob, Dr. Moon, and Mr. Knight.

Mr. English, after first referring to a clause stated in the Policies Governing The Use of School Buildings, Oklahoma City Public Schools, continued with an explanation regarding a baseball league - the baseball league for boys of high school age teams made up of students from Oklahoma City, Edmond, Del City, Crooked Oak, and other schools. He mentioned one group, Boys Baseball, Inc., operating as a team in the Colt League. The team (Boys Baseball, Inc.) comprised of boys who, when school is in session, attend school at Northwest Classen High School, Christ the King School, and Putnam City High Schools. The team (Boys Baseball, Inc.) is known at the Putnam City Aggies. He explained that the team (manager, sponsor) had submitted to him an inquiry for the use of the baseball diamond at Northwest Classen High School. Mr. English moved that the Administration be authorized to negotiate and sign an agreement with the Boys Baseball, Inc., for the use of the Northwest Classen High School baseball stadium for this summer. The agreement shall require a rental fee. of $15.00 per game; and that Boys Baseball, Inc., be responsible for liming, dragging, and mowing the diamond for its games, in addition to picking up the trash in the stadium area immediately after the game. The agreement also shall require that a majority of the players on the home team be students of the Oklahoma City Public Schools; that Boys Baseball, Inc., be permitted to charge a maximum of $1.00 per person for admission for each game, and the agreement would then include any other arrangements that may be agreed upon by the Administration and Boys Baseball, Inc. Mr. McCray inquired regarding the motion for clarification regarding the "Putnam City Aggies."

Dr. Lillard and members of the Board made inquiries and remarks on the subject. Mr. English continued with additional quotations from the printed policies.

Mir. McCray, after inquiring for a second to the motion, declared that the motion had died for want of a second. The Board continued to discuss the subject. Responding to questions and statements from members of the Board, Dr. Lillard briefly reviewed the use of school grounds during the summer by baseball and/or softball teams.

Mr. Estes made observations and suggested that a rental rate of $20.00 per game might be authorized for the type of boys league and for games under discussion. Mr. English submitted a new motion and substituted the amount of $20.00 in lieu of the $15-00 which had been a part of his original motion. The new motion was changed to read the same as the original motion with only the one change - from $15-00 to $20.00.

The agreement shall require a rental fee of $20.00 per game, and that Boys Baseball, Inc., be responsible for liming, dragging, and mowing the diamond for its games, in addition to picking up trash in the stadium area immediately after each game.

R. #216 Representatives from Student Council Organiza tion to he Asked to Make Requests in Advance to Allow for Names Being Printed in Agenda

Mr. McCray - We can go to Unfinished Business, No. 1, Representative of the Oklahoma City Public Schools' Student Council Organization addressing the Board. Is the student here?

Mrs. York - I would like to say, the name of the Student Council Representative was not mentioned here. I am not opposed to anyone coming from the Student Council; I do think they owe the same courtesy as the patrons in the school system do by sending in their request far enough in advance that their name is printed in our Agenda or that we not hear them. And I would put that in the form of a motion. Mr. McCray - It is not listed today; it is the usual practice that a name is listed.

Dr. Lillard - We contact Mr. Johnson's office and he contacts the organization. Normally, names are listed.

Mr. Jim Johnson - Mrs. Dennis informed me that due to the nearness to the end of school, many of our students (student council representatives) are seniors and they haven't had time to work on all of their projects; they want to continue these appearances into June; they want to make their associations with new officers who will be coming into the school; to have some continuity. They hope they will have something to present to the Board in June. Dr. Lillard - At the first meeting in June; then we could re-schedule the group and have the name of the individuals.

Mrs. York - My motion still stands Just in case it should happen again.

Mr. McCray - You have heard Mrs. York's motion.

Mr. Estes - I will second the motion.

(Voting "Aye" - Mr. Estes, Dr. Moon, and Mrs. York. Abstaining - Mr. English and Mr. Knight. Voting "Nay" - Dr. Krob and Mr. McCray.) Mr. McCray - The motion carries.

R. #217 | Personnel PoliciesRelating to * Maternity Leave Approved

Dr. Lillard - I think this material (printed copies of "Leaves of Absence" proposals) has been presented to the Board at a previous meeting; I think I had given an explanation tfiere that primarily the pregnancy would be treated as guidelines have indicated, as a temporary disability; we would not eliminate the present practice of an employee having available the opportunity of applying for leave, but make it permissive not mandatory. Again, this is a change in the basic policy. Normally, when the Board has considered personnel policies, if you make a change it is effective July 1, the following July 1. I might comment that the present maternity leave policies indicate that the last 20 days of a semester, set policy is suspended if it would affect an employee. So that's at both semesters. Again, I am not certain, it will be at the discretion of the Board whether you would want to continue the discussion and consideration of this policy or what your reaction is to the hour of the evening or something to that effect.

Mr. English - I would move the adoption of the recommended policy provision on maternity (Leave of Absence proposals). with Mr. McCray - I assume that each member has studied it and has come up/their own idea of how it should be. Dr. Lillard - I think previously that we pointed out that we checked with Dallas, Tulsa, Wichita, many other school systems and this is consistent with what other school systems in this section of the United States are doing.

Mrs. York - I personally would like to see it put off until the next board meeting because I think there will be discussion on it because I see no reason to change our present policy. /

Mr. McCray - Do I hear a second to Mr. English's motion? Dr. Krob - I will second it.

I would like to ask a question of Mr. Johnson.

Harry,

as far as you know, at the present time, does this conform in all respects to the EEO guidelines?


117

MEETING OF MAY 7, 1973 - CONT'D

Mr. Johnson - It does. It is in conformity with the guidelines of the Equal Employ- |r . #217 ]Personnel ment Opportunity Commission. Policies Relating to Mr. McCray - Are there other discussions? Maternity Leave Approved - cont Mr. Erglish - In reading through it, am I to understand that this guarantees that the person will have a Job once they come off the maternity leave if they return within a reasonable length of time?

Dr. Lillard referred the question to Mr. Robert Cheney. Mr. Cheney - The person coming back from maternity leave will be reemployed but not necessarily in the same position.

Dr. Lillard - Because our enrollment does change from semester to semester and year to year. That has been our practice in the past, that when employees choose to utilize maternity leave as such policy is adopted, then they would be, they would have to apply for reinstatement. They must notify the Personnel Office and apply for reinstatement after they have been on any type leave.

j

Mr. Estes - Does this comply with OEA; do they sanction, do they approve this kind of policy?

Dr. Lillard - Do you mean our ACT? I can't speak from them, but in past conferences) with them I would think that it does. ) Mr. Estes - May I ask for Mrs. White to express her opinion. Mrs. White - I could not say; I have not seen a copy...

Mrs. York - May I make a suggestion since there are still questions...?

Mr. McCray - Are you making an amendment to the motion, Mrs. York?

Mr. McCray - You have heard the amendment (motion to table) and the second, is there further discussion? Mr. English - I personally would disfavor further tabling of the maternity leave policy; we have had, I think I made the first request for study on this back in

November and we have been through this...

’ i ! )

J

') N

)

Mr. McCray - I think the Administration has certainly taken under advisement many many things... We will vote on the amendment (table) first.

) !

Dr. Lillard - Your administration is recommending this to the Oklahoma City Board ) of Education recognizing that it is a very controversial issue, but we know what j the EEO guidelines are; we are aware of what other school systems are doing, and our present policy is out of step; regardless to what our personal opinions are; j our present policy is out of step with what most school districts in the United States are doing. ...I think my obligation is to recommend to the Board what I ) think is more nearly consistent with guidelines or with cases of other courts, and j what is best for the employees of the school system, not necessarily what my person-i al opinion is...about recommending this for consideration by the Oklahoma City j Board of Education. i

j

Mr. Knight - I would like to support it because, in fact...this is now, we now have a class action suit filed against us. I don't know if you are aware of what that can mean financially to this school district. If we don't take action now, it can mean that thpy will award back pay. I think that we need to take the action; every legal action that has been taken on this kind of matter has upheld the party that has taken it to court against the school system... So I support that we take this action now.

Mr. Johnson - I believe that would he acceptable because it would be giving everyone notice that it would be changed and that it would allow us to finish out the year with the same policy instead of having a new policy in the middle of the year. ÂŁ

Mr. English asked Mr. Johnson, "Do you think the Court will take into consideration the fact that we have passed or adopted a new policy, that the Court will take that into consideration and not take any action until July 1?"

It is intended that it shall be available for reasons of hardship or other pressing need, and not merely for personal convenience. The request for personal business leave shall be made three days in advance, except when emergency situations arise, to the administrative official to whom the employee is responsible by signing the proper application form. The administrator will act on the leave request and shall notify the teacher of his decision at least one (1) day prior to the date of the leave.

Vacation time does not accumulate from year to year and must be used by June 30 following the end of the fiscal year in which it was earned. When special conditions eliminate or drastically limit the opportunity to utilize accrued days of vacation during an ensuing year, an employee may request the privilege of taking accrued vacation during the current year.

Vacation pay shall be allowed upon the resignation of an employee working on a twelve (12) months basis, to the extent of his entitlement.

Attorney's Repor

Mr. Johnson reported: (1)

The Board at its May 7. 1973 meeting directed me to look into the refusal of one of the gasoline suppliers to make deliveries at locations; locations different to those specified at the beginning of the fiscal year. I find that we received quotations as to prices and that specific locations were also mentioned. There is no obligation on the supplier to deliver gas at another location. I think the supplier was within his rights to refuse to take on any additional volume at other locations. Mr. McCray - I think the question was asked of you Mr. Johnson, is it illegal for them to refuse. Cap,, they legally refuse?

Mr. Johnson - Yes, that is what I was trying to say. They (the gasoline supplier) are not bound to make deliveries to other locations and they do have a right to refuse to deliver at any location other than those specified i in tEe quotation. Mr. Johnson, Dr. Lillard, and Mr. Ginn responded to further comments and questions by members of the Board in regard to the feasibility and possibility of securing a contract with gasoline suppliers, gasoline prices and control, and possible shortage of gasoline for the 1973-74 school year. (2)

Mr. Johnson - You will remember at the last meeting, I informed the Board that the United States District (Judge Chandler) Court had dismissed an action brought against the Board arising from the expulsion of a pupil (Jacqueline Jones). Since the discussion, the plaintiff has given notice of appeal to the Tenth Circuit which presumably will be heard in due time. There is nothing additional for us to do at the present time.

(3)

Mir. Johnson continued - I believe that members of the Board received copies of the memorandum from the representative of Judge Bohanon (Charles R. Jones, United States Magistrate) with reference to our May 1, 1973 report. I would like to emphasize the language in that memorandum referring to the high black percentage of Douglass and Northeast high schools, and the low black percentage at Grant, and a particular note to the fact that the Court suggested that these percentages should be adjusted. The memorandum did say that the Court was not planning, at this date, to issue any additional Order on this matter. I thought that the Board should be considering the contents of this memorandum, which could be called an admonition by the Court.

A preliminary session relating to verification of attendance and pupil transportation records was held by members of our Research Department staff with Mr. Arlie Crocker and Mr. James Broadhead of the State Department, on April 9, 1973- The preliminary session revealed that some schools failed to fully record transportation information on the port-a-punch attendance cards; some duplication of names was discovered; and it was also pointed out that the first day of the third quarter should be included for elementary pupils in order to have the required number of days in session.

H

!!

Remarks Dr. Lillard

At the last Board Meeting an inquiry was made regarding an audit by the State Department of Education, and I would like to make Just a brief report on the information concerning that audit. The amount of State Aid received on transportetion is based on the number of pupils legally transported the previous year, with the provision that an application may be filed for a midterm adjustment if certain conditions are met. Our total average daily attendance of transported pupils during the first semester of this year was 22,857 students. Last year the number was slightly under 14,000 students, so that's an increase of over 9,000 students in average daily attendance currently being transported. We also have special considerations, hazardous conditions and such. This large increase in the number of pupils transported this year (1972-73) entitled the Oklahoma City School District to apply for a midterm adjustment in our transportation allowance. We didn't wait until the following year (1973-74); we could make the application during this (1972-73) year. An application was submitted to the Transportation Section of the Finance Division, State Department of Education, on February 15, 1973- A request for midterm adjustment has been submitted by the Oklahoma City Public Schools each year since 1961, with the exception of 1966-67•

! j

j j

j

j

i j i As a result of the questions raised by the representative of the State Department j of Education and of our staff, corrections were made in our State Department ; Attendance Transportation Report; they were examined by the principals who i certified and signed the registers as being correct. <

L

I s

I

i j

Two basic results of the examination:

1.

h

158 days were subtracted from the report for pupils transferred into the Oklahoma City School District included in our transportation count from the date of their enrollment. These pupils were in attendance; they were transported. However, their attendance cannot be included until their transfer

|

| I I

has been approved by the State Board of Education. So if the pupils were 1 transferred into Oklahoma City and we provided the transportation, we counted j them on our Transportation Attendance rolls prior to the approval of the State Department of Education which cost us 158 out of the 22,857-

2.

1514^- days were added to our application because Carver Center can be considered and those pupils are transported. So in essence we lost 158 as a result of the audit; we gained 1514^-, so we had a net gain of

135&i days-

j

j

j j

In summary our percentage of error in relation to overall transportation accounting was .08 of one percent. We have been advised by the State Department of Education that this is an extremely low percentage error. And as I indicated | previously, at no time were schools instructed by the Research Department, the Transportation Department, or any other administrative personnel to report other ! than the true and accurate transportation and attendance accounting data. We I will continue to evaluate our reports; I think we want to examine the reports i for errors. We appreciated the cooperation and the understanding of the State | Department of Education...we were pleased that we picked up 1356J- days rather j than losing any days. I I

(Dr. Lillard responded to questions and comments by members of the Board.)

(2)

| I Dr. Lillard continued - I have sent information to members of the Board that this | Sunday (May 20) is Senior Sermon Sunday; most of our high schools will be partici-j pating in such an activity; the activity is voluntary; permissive; not required. | One week from tonight (May 24), we have our annual commencement exercises; all i exercises beginning at 8:00 p.m. Board Members have visited concerning their j assignments and where they will represent the Board.

MEETING OF MAY 17, 1973 - CONT'D

Remarks Dr. Lillard cont'd

f

The last few days of a school year are extremely important. Students like to P impress us with their .maturity, their sophistication, and even the best young men and women, occasionally, stray a little bit during the last few warm days of a school year. We try to be understanding. If there is no destruction of property or invasion of anyone else's rights we try to be as human as possible, but we ;â– also provide additional supervisory and security personnel in most of our secondary p schools and provide more adequate supervision during these last few days of a school; year.

Knowing the intelligence and ability of our students, I wouldn't be surprised at anything; I hope I won't be shocked, but we feel that these young poeple are completing a very important year of their life, Very few of them would want to jeopardize a semester of year's credit by doing anything foolish, So I am proud of our staff , the patrons of this school system, the young men and women who attend, and the members of the Board of Education for being so supportive. I think that we have had a difficult year; however, I think we have had a good school year. Statement â– Mr. McCray

Mr. McCray - Mr. Johnson, earlier in the meeting, made a report on the Jacqueline Jones case. We have been informed that Judge Holloway denied the injunction. The appeal in the Tenth District Court will be heard at another time. ENCUMBRANCES AND PURCHASING

WRITTEN COMMUNICATIONS

i| || b

A letter was read by Dr. Lillard from Frances P. Parman, President, Oklahoma City Federation of Teachers; and Walter L. Tompkins, National Representative, American Federation of Teachers.

p ji b H

Dr. Lillard - I previously referred this correspondence to your attorney, Mr. Harry Johnson. The first sentence in the letter says, "pursuant to the school laws of Oklahoma." . Mr. Johnson, are there provisions in the school law for such an election to be held?

I

Mrâ– Johnson - No, the Oklahoma law does not provide for an election and if the law doesn't authorize an election, then the Board of Education cannot authorize that one be held. The only way that a negotiating group can be selected is by signed (authorization) cards. That is the only method provided and specified under Oklahoma School Law.

I[

, b j ; I!

I p !

Dr. Lillard - The Association.of Classroom Teachers has been officially recognized by the Oklahoma City Board of Education as the agent for classroom teachers; we are currently in the process of negotiating with ACT; we would hope that these negotiations could be concluded within the next few days. I think the professional employees of this school district have the opportunity to select any professional organization to represent them (professional employees) with the Oklahoma City Board of Education. Employment in this school system is not based on membership in any professional organization. An employee has the choice of Joining ACT or of joining AFT or they can choose to join no professional organization whatsoever, and they will remain to be employees of good standing in this school system. On advice of your legal counsel I should respond to this correspondence indicating that according to advice of legal counsel, there are no provisions in the laws of Oklahoma to hold such an election.

Mr. Knight inquired if federal laws or regulations were involved. Mr. Johnson responded that he did not know of federal laws nor federal principles which were involved. The question is purely a matter for Oklahoma State Law.

Mr. McCray asked Dr. Krob if his statement was made as a motion and Dr. Krob stated, "I so move."

The motion was seconded by Dr. Moon.

Mr. English, Mr. Johnson, and Dr. Lillard continued to discuss the subject regarding authorization signed by educators designating the organization as their representative for negotiations. The specific questions related to a date and/or time specified on the signed authorizations or designations.

R. #238 Approval of Reading Improvement Plans

NEW BUSINESS

Mrs. York reported to the Board of a complaint from Southeast High School patrons concerning a choir that is organized at that school. Mr. English - Within the past months wehave talked a lot about the reading problems that we have and the fact that probably the number one educational problem in urban schools is reading, and we are not exempt from that problem it seems. Therefore, I have a motion to try and get us going even faster than what we are, making more progress than what we are on this. I would move that reading improvement be the Number 1 educational priority of the Oklahoma City School District for the 1973-7^school year.

In its effort to insure that each student achieves to the maximum of his or her potential in reading, this board directs that: 1.

The District's reading program be significantly expanded beyond present plans for 1973“7^.> especially in the area of assisting those students who are underachievers in reading.

2.

The summer tutoring program for secondary school students with reading problems be continued this summer, to be financed with local funds if federal Title I funds

3.

That the Administration report to the Board at its June 21, 1973 meeting on the feasibility of: (a)

Requiring that each teacher being hired this year attend an inservice course in the teaching of reading or successfully complete or has

completed a college course on the teaching of reading.

(b)

h As I say, the Administration is to report to the Board on the 21st of June j on the feasibility of a variety of things including encouraging all principals ji to attend inservice reading courses prior to the end of the first quarter j of the 1973-7^- school year; of paying participants in the inservice reading course a reasonable stipend; of evaluating teachers on their performance ; in teaching reading to the degree that each is responsible for teaching | reading; also requiring all non-tenured teachers now employed in the District I to attend an inservice course in the teaching of reading or successfully j complete a college course on the subject prior to the end of their third | year with the District; requiring all student teachers to attend an inservice i course in the teaching of reading; urging all tenured teachers to attend a | course in the teaching of reading; and testing each student at the first of | the school year to determine his or her achievement level and needs in I reading; and at the end of the school year to measure individual progress; I determine the needs of each student and evaluate the effectiveness of various reading programs.

Members of the Board responded to Mr. English's motion. Mr. McCray expressed positive reaction to expanding the reading program in schools. He also continued that the proposal, the motion, was a matter that should be studied carefully and all the various factors should be considered very carefully.

Mrs. York seconded the motion. Mrs. York continued with an affirmative reaction to the motion and the proposed reading program.

Mr. Knight asked for clarification to specific parts of the motion. Mr. English responded.

MEETING OF MAY 17, 1973 - CONT'D |R. #238 Dr. Moon agreed with the desirability of an expanded reading program; however, he stated that an item of importance in depth and scope of the motion should be deferred !Approval of Reading Improveand considered more detailedly at a future meeting. :ment Plans (Dr. Moon departed the meeting at 6:30 p.m.) , cont'd

Mr. Knight remarked of amending the motion by adding "language arts" and dealing with the entire area of language arts and with reading.

Dr. Lillard mentioned the importance of such a proposed program and the various requirements to institute such a program; the elements of time, summer tutorial program, and others. He briefly discussed funds to be used in financing such a program and discussed the establishing of priorities and/or the establishing of new priorities in order that such a program might be instituted. Dr. Krob made affirmative remarks pertaining to the goal of the reading program. He also referred to paragraphs 1 and 2 of the motion. Dr. Krob then stated that paragraph 3 in the motion and the remainder of the motion related to advisory conditions and that he could see nothing wrong with going ahead with the situation as presented. Mr. Knight again inquired regarding the adding of an amendment supporting language arts. Mr. English, Mr. Knight, and Mr. McCray each made comments relating to verbal skills and the possibility of expanding the motion to include language arts as suggested by Mr. Knight. Mr. Knight then made an amendment - I move (to amend) that the reading improvement be the number one educational priority with the support of language arts of the Oklahoma City District for 1973-74 school year. Mrs. York seconded the amendment.

Dr. Lillard again spoke regarding various points of the discussion; as the motion might be related to certification of employees of the Oklahoma City School System; involvement of the State Department of Education; employment requirements; financial requirements; the role of colleges and universities on handling additional enrollments for persons enrolled in formal courses during the 1973 summer months; the attendance by teachers and other staff for inservice courses during the summer, and others. Mr. Knight, Dr. Krob,and Dr. Lillard each made inquiries and remarks for clarification of the motion.

Dr. Krob asked, "Is it correct that we are asking for items, for paragraphs number 1 and number 2, and for a feasibility study and a report on all other items?" Mr. English responded, "That is correct."

After additional interchange between members of the Board and additional remarks and clarification by Dr. Lillard, Mr. McCray called for a roll call on the amendment. All members present voted "Aye". Mr. McCray then called for a roll call on the motion.

I

All members present voted "Aye"

Of interest is the choice of courses by students; Driver Education by far is the most popular with 670 students enrolled; Band - 192 students. We have 1,180 students enrolled in the other subjects for a total of 2,04-2 students on the secondary level; approximately 80 teachers are assigned.

Summer School - 1973 - Earlier, I pointed out to the members of the Board that the operation of our school system is a year-round operation; a great amount of important work goes on during the summer months planning for the opening of the succeeding school year. We are conducting our annual summer sessions on both the elementary and the secondary levels. The elementary summer schools are held at Johnson, Parmelee, Rancho Village, and Cleveland. We have noticed a marked decline in our elementary summer school enrollment; a decline by approximately 50%. As of last Friday (June 1, 1973) we had 165 elementary pupils in the tuition summer schools. On the secondary level, with our summer sessions at Douglass, John Marshall, Northwest, U. S. Grant, and Star Spencer, the enrollment is approximately the same as in 1972. In 1972 - 2,089 secondary students; as of last Friday, 2,04-2 students were in attendance.

Summer Workshops - 1973 - Many workshops are being conducted during the summer months and I would mention just a few. (Dr. Lillard read from the following list of workshops scheduled.)

Remarks - I recently met and worked with representatives from the newspapers and television; all on the same topic - the school year in retrospect, and planning for the new school year. Last Thursday and Friday (May 31 and June 1, 1973) seven representatives from the United States Office of Education conducted an on-site investigation of our ESAA (Emergency School Assistance Act) request, the $900,000 that we are requesting to improve our reading and mathematics instructional programs. I am optimistic as the result of the visitors from the U. S. Office of Education. We are in competition with other school systems in the State of Oklahoma for the limited funds that can be used on these programs or these projects.

The Board's negotiations team is still in the process of negotiations with the team from the Association of Classroom Teachers. A final agreement has not been reached as of this date. . We will continue to keep the Board informed as to the status of negotiations. As soon as any agreement .might be reached, then it would be the responsibility of both organizations, the Classroom Teachers and the Board of Education, to review the packages. If they meet the approval of the Board and the Association of Classroom Teachers and are ratified by both, then they would go into effect with the beginning of the 1973-7^ school year.

MEETING- OFJUNE- CONT'D

Report at this time unless we can delete this (item regarding Dr. Todd and Mr. Rippetoe) from it. I am opposed to bringing, not that I have anything against the two men per se, I think they are fine people but I cannot see bringing someone that has been out of our system back in when we have many qualified people to fill those positions. Mr. McCray asked Dr. Lillard for his reply.

ii Dr. Lillard - As Superintendent of Schools, my basic obligation is to recommend to h the Board the candidate that I feel is best qualified to fill a position. In Oklahoma City we are fortunate in that we can select among many well qualified i! candidates or applicants. Anytime I make a recommendation to the Board, one applicant) is chosen; many applicants are not chosen. Obviously there should be disappointment / among those which were not chosen; that doesn't mean that they are not qualified. This means that my best professional advice is that I am recommending to you the person I consider to be best qualified to fill a position. As a school system we ) always look first within; we have always promoted within the system. It would be a poor practice, also a poor policy to say that you will never select candidates from without the school system. One gentleman referred to by Mrs. York has been on leave >■ for the past two years. He is returning from a leave. The other gentleman is being ij recommended to become Director of Middle Schools and Fifth Year Centers. This is ) consistent with our present organizational grade structure of the school system. In ) my opinion these gentlemen are well qualified for the positions. I realize that ) each and every member of the Board has an obligation to evaluate my recommendations. ) The responsiblity rests with the Board; do you approve or not approve the recommenda- •• tions? It is a very difficult job for both of us.

Mrs. York - I am not saying that I think these men are not qualified to fill the positions. I say that we have people within our own system that possibly might be terminated or that we have to not renew contracts (who might fill these positions). Dr. Lillard - No. No one's contract is being terminated who would be qualified for these positions.

£

Mrs. York - We have people within our own system that could fill this position. A person might be terminated who could step up and fill their position is what I am trying to say.

) ) h

After additional comments by Mrs. York, Mr. Estes entered the discussion.

)

Mr. Estes - Mr. President, I have the utmost respect for Dr. Lillard in his handling ) of the superintendency of this school system, but I have an obligation to these people that have stayed with us throughout the many many years of struggle and i| turmoil and strife, particularly the last year. I personally know, in my estimation, || that we have people in this school system that can do this kind of a job. I think ji we should discuss this here today, or if you would rather, I would make a motion i! that we go into executive session and discuss this; because at this time I am not going to vote to bring in people from outside, people that have left our school i| system. I have the utmost respect for Mr. Todd and Mr. Rippetoe, they are both good citizens, good employees of the school system. If they were coming back in their old jobs it would be different to some extent. Coming back with an increase of ji salary of.$4y000 (approximately), we are taking on an expenditure of $3^^000 ii (approximately) for these two men, according to your recommendation. I am not n convinced; losing the students that we are losing and have lost the past four years H from some 76,000 students down to 57>OOO students; with all due respect to Dr... ;l Lindley and Mr. Johnson and Dr. Brothers, we have got along pretty well. For the ) past year and a half Mr. Lawrence wasn't here and I think he was a very valuable i man; my question is, do we need him? Do we need another curriculum director; do we need to bring in two new people? i After additional comments by Mr. Estes, he stated, therefore, I would like to make a

motion; I make a motion that we do not..

ij

Mr. Knight - As a point of order, first, Mr. President, if we are going to move into a discussion of individuals then I assume that this is inappropriate. Is that correct?

Mr. McCray - As a rule, when discussing personnel, it is done in executive session. It would be against the policies of the Board to discuss any personalities without executive session, Mr. Knight.

= ! h

Dr. Moon - Don't cut us off.

I want to say something.

Dr. Moon - I personally don't see it that way. If you have teachers who have been j in the system and who have gone away and improved themselves and raised to a higher i level, you don't penalize them; if teachers are in an institution and they improve themselves educationally, then they may come back into the system; the system is usually glad to get them back. In one of the cases that we have here is a young man who has made good and was doing well in the system; he made the sacrifice. We didn't pay any of his expenses; he made the sacrifice to go and get his Ph.D. degree, and then to be invited back into the system. We have had a vacancy for more than a year; the personnel here has been utilized to a very full extent. I have been around this building, too, and people have been busy.

MEETING OF JUNE 4, 1973 - CONT'D

Mr. McCray - I do want to caution the board members that we are getting into person| alities and I certainly can appreciate what you have said as well as what the other | members have said. But in keeping with the policies of the Board, we do go into executive session in discussing personalities per se. In the grouping in the Personnel; Report today, it's the usual procedure of terminations, resignations, etc., from many different areas; but as the chairman of the Board I would like to suggest that further ; discussion of personalities should be done in executive session. We do not want to hurt anyone, and certainly not get into discussions during an open meeting of the pros and cons of whether or not anyone should be employed. I think it is unfair to the individual's profession. I think that we have to follow those (policies) in fairness to all of our teachers, our principals, and our administrative staff. May I recommend a motion that would take care of that.

Mr. Ginn - You have a motion, Mr. McCray. Mr. McCray - The motion has been started by Mr. Estes.

| R. #244; Motion for . Executive Sessioi

Mr. Estes - I would like to make a motion Mr. President, that you call an executive session to discuss personnel at your earliest convenience.

Mr. Knight - Could I amend that, Mr. Estes, to say that let's take action on the personnel, if nobody has any objections to the rest of the Personnel Report; that these two positions be dealt with separately. Mr. McCray - Mr. Knight, we haven't had a second to Mr. Estes' motion.

i

I

Mr. Knight - Well, I just wanted to before we got frozen.

i I

Mrs. York - I will second his (Mr. Estes), and I would also second his (Mr. Knight). ;

\

Mr. Estes - For the purpose of discussing these two positions.

|

Mrs. York - He means delete these two (names) and go on with the rest of the personnel.’

i I

Mr. Estes - My motion is to go into executive session to discuss these two particular positions.

!

Mrs. York - Second.

■I

Mr. McCray - Now is everybody clear on the motion that Mr. Estes made?

!

Dr. Moon - Why are we restricting it; there are so many others here.

i

I

;

I

Mrs. York - Yes, and I have some questions on some of the others, too.

>1 H

Dr. Moon - Well then if it is, if we are going to do that, why don't we just go into executive session to discuss personnel.

m

■: i; »

Mr. McCray - Dr. Moon, that could be very easily true if it would be necessary. I am just quoting Mr. Estes' motion that we go into executive session to discuss these two positions only, and it was seconded by Mrs. York. Now it's open for discussion and amendments if there are any.

j

i. p

Dr. Moon - Mr. President, I wish to offer an amendment to the effect that we go into executive session to include all personnel rather than just two.

Mrs. York - Both of you gentlemen are referring to another evening other than today, aren't you? O.K., I will second yours, too, and his.

Dr. Lillard - I would like to urge one caution to the members of the Board. During the month of June there is a great amount of work to be done, and the staff will abide by whatever action is taken by the Board. To delay action for any extended period of time on the amount of business that you have within your personnel section could be very serious.I would like to remind the Board again of some of the comments that I made earlier. I indicated in my memorandum to the Board that as Superintendent I do not offer a position to a given person until the Board has taken action. Some of these points may be just very moot. These people may or may not be available to the Oklahoma City School System.

i j

i

: ; | I I

I i

-

Mrs. York - Dr. Lillard, I appreciate the fact, I know it is time for us to do this, ! and it is a very serious thing but I think the positions that we have to consider are I very serious, too, and we also have to consider, maybe, all these principals sitting ' out here, what might it do to them. Because we are opening up a position for a Middle j School director, and you are not considering any of our principals in the whole ; Oklahoma City School System; we are bringing in someone new, this is what I am saying.

Mr. McCray - Mrs. York, we are going into personalities; let's refrain from discussing personalities, please. ;

I

i

Mr. Estes - Question on the amendment.

Mr. McCray - You have heard the amendment to include all personnel that are listed in the Agenda tonight. We have a motion and a second. ( r*

MEETING OF JUNE 4, 1973 - CONT'D R.#244 Motion for Executive Session cont'd

Mr. Knight- I would he personally opposed to that, I think.

Mr. McCray - Mr. Knight, you may vote that way when I call it to vote. Mr. Knight - Are we open for discussion? I just wanted to express my feelings at this point, if I could. I think we ought to identify those positions that we want to discuss in an executive session and deal with those and then move on and approve the other features of the Personnel Report because a number of these are going to really, they do affect the operations of school as I read it, and I would hope that we could at least do that. Mr. McCray - Are there other discussions before we call for a vote on the amendment? Mr. Ginn, will you call the roll on the amendment that was made by Dr. Moon and seconded by Mrs. York.

(Voting "Nay" - Mr. Estes, Mr.. Knight, Dr. Krob, and Mr. McCray. Dr. Moon and Mrs. York. The motion failed by a vote of 4 to 2.)

Voting "Aye" -

I

Now we will vote on the motion. There was a motion made by Mr. Estes and seconded by Mrs. York that we eliminate the two names that are being discussed, the two positions, and go into executive session for that discussion. Are there any more discussions?

H J n

Dr. Krob - Mr. McCray, I realize that the subject is on the table but it seems to me that I made the statement once and I will .make it again, and that is that we have hired an administrator of this school system; he has made the statement that in his judgment these two people are the best qualified without mentioning names. I .made the statement in a hearing before this Board sometime ago that I was not qualified to judge a teacher; I certainly don't feel that I am qualified to judge as an administrator. It would seem to me that the prerogative of the Board would be to either accept or reject the Superintendent's recommendation, and if we reject it then he has to look further.

ii i' ’!

Mr. McCray - Are there any other discussions?

h

Mrs. York - Not to be argumentative, but you said you were not qualified to judge a teacher; however, we sat up here and judged one and we found her guilty. I mean when it comes to the "nitty gritty", we do judge.

Dr. Krob - In my opinion, we didn't find the teacher guilty. guilty by the administration and we affirmed their judgment. difference.

J j ■! H -i

She had been adjudged I think there is a

Mr. Knight - I would then support Dr. Krob's position on this that if we are going to, if there is some reason that we either accept or reject the recommendation of the Superintendent, let that be the issue rather than the executive session. Mr. Estes - We have not rejected these recommendations; we are only making a motion to go into executive session to consider the recommendations of Dr. Lillard of the two people. That is the motion that I .made.

Mr. McCray - -Probably we may disagree on what is personality and what is position. As Chairman of the Board I would like to .make a statement now before we take a vote on this .matter. It is very important that boards of education not sit in judgment; I don't think we sit in judgment. I think we sit to make policies and have administrative faculties, administrative staff with Dr. Lillard as our chief executive

officer, and I think that we certainly should evaluate many important things. Maybe this is important enought to reevaluate. I certainly am in firm agreement that. rather than embarrass personnel or people who are applying for jobs, that we should have an executive session. It is embarrassing even to have gone so far to people who have been suggested. I .might relate to Dr. Krob's statement, saying to the principals here of Oklahoma City and also the teachers; I can't say that I can honestly evaluate the professional ability of a person to serve in this system. I don't have that training and background, but I think as a board member, that I must rely on the administrative staff to .make recommendations. I can disagree or agree with the administrative staff, evaluating only on the terms of whether I think they are right or wrong. Let's not get into a disagreement with our administrative staff, nor with our personnel and the personalities. I am so very proud of every person that works in the system. I know that we have some inadequacies, but I think we (the Board) have to be just as professional as we expect the administration, and our principals, and our teachers to be. I think to be unprofessional would certainly be letting them down. Mistakes are made; I would be the first to agree; .mistakes by the administrative staff, by our principals, by our teachers; but I could not be one to criticize. Let's be professional in our attitude towards any situation that involves personnel or the operation of this fine school system. In my opinion many and .most of the principals and teachers are doing a very fine job. When we act, let's act in a professional attitude recognizing everybody's feelings and certainly not wanting to hurt anyone else. Are there other discussions?

Mrs. York - I can personally say that I had no intention to personally embarrass Dr. Lillard, and I don't believe it was Mr. Estes' intention. We just happen to disagree on one issue, and that is not ridicule or embarrassment, and we are .merely asking him to go back with us and reconsider somebody else.

Dr. Lillard. - Mr- President, I think we are getting on a thin Line here. I think it's the job of the Administration to make personnel recommendations to the Board, not vice | versa. There would be some people in this room who would be on very dangerous ground ? if the Board starts making personnel recommendations to me. Again the basic issue is, j if it is a good, recommendation, the answer us yes; if it is in your opinion not a i good recommendation, the answer is no. I don't think you want to get into a discussion' of Board Members suggesting to me people who could fill these positions because then ! you no longer have a professional school system. Mrs. York - That was not my intention either. within the system.

Mr. McCray - Mr. Knight made the motion; Dr. Moon has made the second; Mrs. York is asking to table the motion. Mr. Johnson, calling upon the attorney of the Board, there has been a motion made anda second made, and then there has been a motion to table. Does the motion to table require a second? Mir. Johnson - Yes, the motion to table is in order but it does require a second.

Mr. McCray -Is there a second to Mrs. York's motion to table the motion by Mr. Knight

and secondedby Dr. We will vote on the personnel as listed other discussions?

__ _______ MEETING OF JUNE 21, 1973 - CONT'D

Copies of organizational charts/,were distributed to members of the Board,

Dr. Lillard, responding to previous inquiries from the Board, explained the charts. He responded, I think most board members have the basic chart which lists the Board of Education, the Superintendent, the Assistant Superintendents, and the major departments. However, what we have done on this report is to given an additional breakdown of each major department, the person that occupies the various positions, and the other employees that are listed. The information shows the number of custodians, maintenance workers, secretaries and such, and it is consistent with the overall instructional chart. (Comments were made by Mr. Knight, Mr. McCray, and Dr. Lillard in regard to publication through the news media of the organizational charts for patrons of the school system.) (4) Dr. Lillard continued - At the Board Meeting of May 17, 1913, the Board passed a resolution that reading improvement (later the resolution was amended to include language arts) to be the Number One goal or the educational priority of this school district for 1973-7^-• In addition the Board had given instructions to the Administration that the summer tutorial program should continue. If federal funds were not available (for the summer tutorial program), then approximately $20,000 per month for June and July be drawn from the General.Fund. That has and is being done at the present time.

The Board had given instructions to the Administration to report at the meeting of June 21, 1973, a feasibility report or study concerning the other items that were listed. The resolution stated that each teacher hired this year should be required to attend an inservice course in the teaching of reading, or successfully complete or have completed a college course dealing primarily with the teaching of reading; that all principals be encouraged to attend an inservice reading course prior to the end of the first quarter of 1973-7^-J that participants in the workshops or courses be paid a stipend. Normally, we pay $15 per day stipend. That the evaluation of teachers include an evaluation of the teacher's responsibility or performance in teaching reading to the degree that each is responsible for the teaching of reading; that we require all non-tenured teachers who are now■ employed in the district to attend an inservice course in the teaching of reading or < successfully have completed a college course prior to the end of their third year in : the district; that we require all student teachers to attend an inservice course in the teaching of reading; that we urge : all tenured teachers to attend an inservice course < in the teaching of reading; then that there be the testing of each student at the first of the school year to determine his or her reading achievement level and need; and at the end of the school year to measure individual progress to determine the needs of each student and to evaluate the effectiveness of the various reading programs. In order for a teacher to receive an elementary teaching certificate in the State of Oklahoma, it is necessary for the teacher to have a course in reading. Some of the teachers who have certificates that are older than others, the reading may have been covered under an overall blanket of language arts instruction. All elementary teachers and principals, to the best of my knowledge, have completed a course in reading or the language arts field.

j

Our staff - on the secondary level we have 5^7 middle school teachers and 1,207 high school teachers, for a total of approximately 1,7^0 teachers. In working with members of the staff and making inquiries throughout the state, to conduct a reading course, a college level reading course for 1,700 teachers would be a very difficult if not an impossible task for this school system to accomplish. I am not certain that the staff is available even on the college level as well as the staff we have that could accomplish this request on an inservice level. I would call to the Board's attention that possibly there might be two approaches considered; Number One is that we would move in this direction, the actual formal instruction to upgrade or improve the ability of a teacher to teach reading; a Number Two approach could be to create an additional awareness in other staff members of some of the problems of students in reading. I think we certainly would not be giving proper directions to the Board if we would.leave the impression that a staff member, a history teacher, a math teacher, a science teacher, or a machine shop teacher could take a three-hour course in the teaching of reading and really be qualified to teach reading because this is probably the most complex of all instructional processes that take place in a school system. One approach could possibly be the actual workshop where that you get into the course the mechanics of teaching of reading. The other could be more of an awareness workshop to teachers in other fields other than language arts and reading as they perform their basic instructional duties and responsibilities, and how they might assist the language arts teachers. On the middle school level we have 5^7 middle school teachers. We have approximately | 138 language arts teachers on the middle school level. To make any inroads, you must | define and delimit the area of your attack. The elementary level has been covered i even though we will not cease to have an improvement and upgrading of those teachers ij who teach reading on the elementary level. I think an approach might be to include ij the middle school, and possibly include the emphasis with the middle school language ji arts teachers which would give you a more manageable number; again, approximately i 135 to 140 teachers. i

MEETING OF JUNE 21, 1973 - CONT'D

Other teachers on the middle school level could he involved on the other phase that | Information to I mentioned, the awareness, the need to identify and assist the language arts teachers; the Board cont'd in identifying the students that possibly have reading problems, and also reading < difficulties. I think as these identifications are made, it is such a complex procedure and process that in some areas you will be identifying students who are ; remedial in terms of their need or will have a need of this nature; others who can i improve their ability by the practice of certain techniques and such. ! In summary, I question whether we would be able to accomplish the task or whether ! it would be wise to require every teacher and every principal to attend a formal â– course or a formal workshop. I would suggest that the Board give consideration to emphasis being placed on the middle school level and the language arts area because you have a more manageable number of teachers and administrators in this area. I think we have fairly well accomplished a portion of our goal and correction on the elementary level. I think after going through a process one time, if we learn ; something in the process maybe in succeeding semesters or succeeding years you might want to include the high school language arts teachers or a similar approach on the > high school level that could be utilized next year on the middle school level. This * would be the basic consideration or feasibility report. > (Discussion continued between Dr. Lillard and members of the Board regarding the reaction of teachers to the approach, the testing program that would be used (administering of a diagnostic test at the beginning of the year to find out what are the students' needs, weaknesses, strengths; and give the achievement test in the spring of each year), the timing of approach to the reading problem as to the grade level, preparedness for teaching of reading by teachers and principals, speed reading, and comprehension in reading.)

Dr. Lillard stated that a copy of the report would be given to members of the Board.

UNFINISHED BUSINESS

Mr. McCray stated an item for Unfinished Business - Consideration of request from the Association of Classroom Teachers "that their (ACT) procedural agreement with the Oklahoma City Board of Education be extended for the fiscal year of 1973 and 1974."

|

j Mr. Estes asked for a recommendation from Dr. Lillard regarding the matter. j Dr. Lillard replied, "The present procedural agreement expires either June 30 or ! July 1 (1973); I can't recall which of the two dates. The Board and the Association [ of Classroom Teachers entered into this negotiation or this procedure in good faith; | both parties have been negotiating long and difficult hours. At present they have | not been able to reach an agreement on certain important items. I believe there is < a .meeting scheduled in the morning (Friday, June 22, 1973) at 9=30 continuing | negotiations. In working with the Board appointed negotiations team; considering the work that they have done, their recommendations and consideration, I would point out to the Board that, again, the present agreement does expire at the end of this j month. To the best of my knowledge I know of no additional Information, specifically,^ that will be available to this Board in the next few weeks that would alter the i posture of your negotiations team. These matters have all been discussed with the Association of Classroom Teachers negotiations team and I would question whether I extending the procedural agreement would cause any earlier agreement on the items that are being negotiated at the present time. You have asked for a specific ’ recommendation; my recommendation to the Board would be that the procedural agreement not be extended beyond its present time." I Members of the Board continued to discuss the issue from the standpoint of preparation)

of the 1973-7^ budget and other conditions relating to the extension of an agreement that affects a decision on salary schedules.

Report ! Richard L. Dunha i Architect

A motion was made by Dr. Krob and seconded by Mrs. York to approve the plans submitted by the architect for the Douglass High School girls' physical education facility, and authorized advertising for bids on the project (estimate - $176,689.70). All members voted "Aye" on roll call.

Dr. Lillard stated: I have indicated to the members of the Board with the Agenda and an accompanying | memorandum that this meeting of June 29, 1973 will be the last regular scheduled i meeting of the Board for the 1972-73 fiscal year. There are 17 items, all ; under Purchasing ranging from $9^5.60 to $120,370*20. I would call to the | Board's attention that many of the items do reflect service to nearly all of the j pupils of this school system (slightly under 60,000 pupils next year). The total value of an item may seem large but if applied to 60,000 pupils, then in J many instances the per pupil investment is relatively small. '

Many years ago when the school system was even in more dire large purchasing items were not made at the end of a fiscal until we were in the new fiscal year before purchases could

period on the budget and such. Our financial situation has improved somewhat over the past several years, and many of these large items we.are able to bring to the Board for their consideration before the current fiscal year. In many

instances the items will be received and on hand early in the school year. As you review your agenda, the source of funds spent on several of the items will be the Building Levy. These funds cannot be used for teachers' salaries. I think this is extremely important, and I think it is obvious as a school system that we are attempting to provide the best working conditions, and the best learning conditions that we can, commensurate with the financial resources of this school system.

Dr. Krob - I would move that this item be returned for action at the next, not at the j Motion that next .meeting. How much time did they (Administrative Staff) indicate that they would < Item 6 be need, Phil? \ Returned for Consideration Mr. Knight - To get the material? ! After Study Dr. Lillard - Just a suggestion, could he place his .motion before the Board concerning! the report that the Board will need? !

Dr. Krob - This is another thing that probably should be brought up as to whether or not, and in my opinion this would be quite a voluminous report (Phil) that you have

asked for, and where the Board needs to set a policy that a request like this be cleared.

J

I i |

Mr. Knight - I basically assumed that since we are dealing with such a large item that we did have some kind of documentation. Apparently, that isn't the case. So I guess I would like to .move that we do bring back this item; .make a study of the

"Mr. McCray, I respectfully request permission to appear = before the Board today, June 29, 1973; Signed, Alice White, President, Association ; of Classroom Teachers." I could only say this to Mrs. White that as president of the Board, that it is not a policy of the Board to have other than the third Thursday of the month for any appearances. Of course it should be in 72 hours before ’ the meeting. However, we operate on the basis of the majority of the Board, and I would present it to the Board for its action on whether Mrs. White would talk or not. What is your pleasure? j

NEW BUSINESS

Mr. English, referring to a memorandum from the Federal Court, stated, I believe it > would be a good idea probably if we would begin thinking about what they mentioned ; in the letter; that is Douglass, Northeast, and Grant High Schools; the racial balanced in those schools is what they are concerned about, somewhat. The problem as I see it is, if we don't do something about it they are going to have the Court come in and j do something for us. And I would rather that our own poeple who know the situation j better .make some recommendations in this area rather than leaving it up to the Court. Therefore, I would move that the Administration be instructed to .make recommendations | as soon as possible for adjustment of attendance areas.for Douglass, Northeast, and i Grant high schools, in keeping with the recent letter from the Federal Court. :

R. #312

Administration and Board Committee Instructed to Make Recommendations Re Attendance Areas for Douglass, Northeast, and Grant High Discussion continued between Mr. English and Mrs. York regarding Mr. English's motion, s Schools Dr. Krob stated that he would like to see a committee of the Board appointed to work j with the Administration and try and accomplish the purposes as outlined in the .motion;! that he would like to be a part of the committee because of Grant being in his | district, and that Dr. Moon should possibly be involved because of Douglass and , Northeast being located in District 5« '

Mr. Estes directed inquiry to Mr. Johnson regarding what would happen if we were to sit idly by and not do anything; not act on the letter as the Court instructed us to do? Mr. Johnson replied that his response would be speculation; however, the language in the letter stated that we (the Board) had better make a study and do something on the matter. I think that the fact that the Administration or a committee would .make a study of it doesn't necessarily mean that you would .make any changes. You might want to find out why the projections did not turn out as we thought they would, and it might be such an explanation that would be satisfactory to the Court. I do think in view of that language that at least a study should be

Mr. English inquired about Mr. Edward Soule, Board's representative to the negotiations advisory committee, and regarding the negotiations matter with the Classroom Teachers. Dr. Lillard informed Mr. English that Mr. Soule and Mr. Arnold Fagin, ACT representative, were supposed to be in a 3:30 meeting. After directing additional inquiry to Dr. Lillard, Mr. English stated, I would move that we extend the procedural agreement one week, that is the procedural agreement with the Classroom Teachers, for one week; this is to permit the advisory committee to go about its work, and I think that we need to go the second mile; after all we had a lot of teachers this year who went the second mile for us, I believe, and I think we could do the same.

The .matter is scheduled for hearing on July 11, 1973• The Board is not under any court restraint, and the Board can go ahead and proceed with preparation of the payrolls and the budget as Dr. Lillard will explain to you in his report.

Mir. Knight inquired about the approval of a purchase in the June 21, 1973 .meeting (R.#280 - Purchase of Physical Education Equipment), an authorization to purchase parallel bars.

Dr. Lillard stated that .members of the Board had been given copy of a report regarding schools to which the parallel bars would be assigned, and also the qualifications of the physical education teachers.

Mr. Knight, Dr. Lillard, Mr. Dipboye and other .members of the Board continued the discussion. _ Mir. Knight stated later that he would make his former statement in the form of a .motion. Dr. Krob asked for clarification of the motion. Mr. Knight replied, "to change that authorization (purchase of the parallel bars). Just hold the paper work on it until Friday (July 6, 1973)•" The .motion was seconded by Mrs. York. Dr. Lillard, Mirs. York, and Dr. Moon.

SUPERINTENDENT'S REPORT

Dr. Lillard - Things have been taking place almost on an hourly basis on negotiations. jj Report on Negotiations

j

r | i j i i j i |

Dr. Lillard asked Dr. Tom Smith, Chairman of the Board's negotiations team, for a report. Dr. Smith reported that actions are happening at a rapid pace; during the past weekend and today. Last Friday (June 29) the Board did extend the procedural agreement between the Board and the Classroom Teachers group until Friday (July 6, 1973) at 4:30 p.m.

J

Last Friday you (Members of the Board) were advised that Mr. Soule, the Board's appointee to the three-member committee; and Mr. Fagin, the ACT's representative to the three-member committee, were to meet at 3:30 Friday, June 29,1973* Mr. Fagin did not keep the appointment and did nof"shoW" at last Friday's (June 29) meeting. However, over the weekend both Mr. Fagin and Mr. Soule have been quite active on behalf of the negotiations. The two (Mr. Soule and Mr. Fagin) were to select the third member of the three-member advisory committee; the third member to serve as the chairman of the three-member committee.

j;

j| 1 j jj

Mr. Soule and Mr. Fagin agreed that Mr. Frank Carey would be the third member of the committee. Mr. Carey agreed to accept this appointment. The Board's team and a representative of ACT met with this three-member committee this afternoon (July 2) from 2:00 until 4:00.

j

Dr. Smith presented Mr. Carey to the Board.

i

Mr. Carey - Thank you Dr. Smith and members of the Board. As Dr. Smith told you, the Board (three-member committee and Board's negotiations team) met today for two hours. Our jurisdiction expires the 6th of July. Because of the holiday on Wednesday, and because Mr. Soule must try another lawsuit out of the state of Oklahoma, it is impossible for us to complete our work by July 6, 1973*

Maintenance, custodial, secretarial, clerical, and Central Office employees are all working under this new 1973-74 fiscal year. This school district has a payroll that is due Monday, July 16. We must clear at least one week in advance with all attendance reports for planning the payroll on the computer. The Board should by next Monday, July 9, 1973, have adopted an estimate of your General Fund operating and your Building Levy budget, in order that these employees .may be paid.

jj

This .means that if such a resolution is adopted by the Board, then salaries continue at the 1972-73 rate until this Board approves salaries effective 1973-74. For those employees that have been rendering the service, the new salary schedule is retroactive to .Judy 1, 1973* If the Board does not adopt by next Monday evening (July 9), an estimate of your General Fund operating budget and your Building Levy budget, then your 12 months' employees; custodians, .maintenance, clerical, secretarial, principals, and assistant principals with the exception of elementary, will not receive a warrant on the 16th of July.

Reports to the Board.: (a)

Student Assessments

Graduation Requirements

(c)

Elementary Building Consolidation

Dr. Lillard reported as follows: STUDENT ASSESSMENTS Student assessments are monies collected from students at the building level. The monies for such items as band and choir uniform cleaning and storage, musical instrument rental, and typewriter replacements, unlike fee monies, are deposited with the Treasurer of the school system. I have always felt that assessments limit the equality of educational opportunity that this school district provides. Even though we will not prohibit a student from enrolling in a course if he cannot pay an assessment, I am certain that many students do not enroll in a given course because of the assessment.

I am recommending that the following assessments be eliminated, effective for the 1973-74 school year: [

)

R. #324

Student Assessrnents Approved

Band Uniform - $1.00 - Choir Robes - $1.75 -Musical Instrumental Rental — $2.50 Typewriter Replace rnent - $1,00

Cleaning and Storage

All of these assessments from our secondary schools yielded approximately $16,500 for 1972-73* I believe it is the responsibility of this school district to provide these services, not the responsibility of the individual patron.

j

It was moved by Mrs. York and seconded by Dr. Krob that the recommendations^presented by the Superintendent regarding Student Assessments be approved. All members voted "Aye" on roll call.

j 5 I5

GRADUATION REQUIREMENTS

j j

J

Consistent with our four-year high school grade structure, I am recommending the following changes in graduation requirements effective for the 1973-74 school year:

(1)

Present Requirement A unit of physical education must he completed in grades 10-12.

Change A unit of physical education completed in the 9th grade will satisfy the graduation requirement. (The state legislature has made physical education mandatory for grade 9 commencing in 197^-75•)

'(2)

’i

Present Requirement A unit of laboratory science must be completed in grades 10-12.

Change A unit of laboratory science completed in the 9th grade will satisfy the graduation requirement.

(3)

Present Requirement Twenty-nine (29) of the thirty-eight (38) credits required for graduation must be completed in grades 10-12. Change

Twenty-seven (27) of the thirty-eight (38) credits required for graduation must be completed in grades 10-12. (The State Department of Education presently requires that twenty-seven (27) of the credits must be completed in grades 10-12.) In the past when the 9th grade was in the junior high school , we only counted nine (9) credits from the 9th grade toward graduation- Most pupils earned from 10-12 credits. Nearly all of our pupils graduate with forty (40) credits. These recommendations were suggested by the counselors and high school principals. Mr. Jim Johnson has reviewed the recommended changes carefully. He believes that such changes would be consistent with the State Department of Education's regulations and our present grade level structure in the high schools. I !■

Motion was .made by Mr. Estes and seconded by Mrs. York that recommendations as presented by the Superintendent relating\to:,Graduation Requirements be approved, Motion carried unanimously on roll call.

R. #325 I Graduation > Requirements !Approved

ELEMENTARY BUILDING CONSOLIDATION The Oklahoma City School System predicts an enrollment of approximately 57;000 students for 1973-7^• During 1972-73 our enrollment was 59;000 pupils. During ? 1971-72 we enrolled approximately 66,000 pupils. This means that our pupil loss from : 1971-72 to the beginning of 1973-74 will be over 8,000 pupils. I might indicate that : the declining enrollment is a characteristic of urban school systems at the present time.

The tremendous loss of pupils over the past several years has created a. situation of .many very small elementary schools. It is questionable whether we can .maintain the quality of program that we .may desire in an elementary school with fewer than 125 pupils. In addition the overall administrative cost is exorbitant in the smaller elementary unit. More principals, teachers, secretaries, custodians, and aides are required. Utility costs in a smaller elementary school on a per pupil basis are approximately two and one-half times more than those in the larger units. Obviously our first consideration .must be in terms of the quality of the program.

; i ; !

Serious consideration should be given to the consolidation of some of the very small i elementary units with adjacent elementary schools. Obviously this is a most difficult! task and should be undertaken with extreme caution. Any recommendation made by the' ’ administration and approved by the Oklahoma City Board of Education would have to be ’ submitted to the Court for its approval. The involvement of staff, patrons, and pupils does require a considerable length of time.

I .might indicate that such recommendations are not without precedence. Over the past several years, University Heights, Zachary Taylor, Wright, Sunnfeide, Emerson, Washington, and Walnut Grove elementary schools have been closed because of a declining pupil population. I am recommending that the Board give consideration to the consolidation of the following elementary units.

The Middle School and High School assignments for all pupils affected would remain the same. ii

iI

The consolidation of these buildings, in addition to providing better instructional programs, media centers and cafeteria services, would result in a reduction of three (3) principals, one (1) kindergarten teacher, one (1) regular teacher, three (3) secretaries, three (3) custodians (head), two (2) floormen, and three (3) cafeteria .managers.

Fifth Year Centers - Consolidation

The predicted enrollment (excluding kindergarten) for the Fifth Year Centers at Page, Woodson, and Dunbar for 1973-74 is as follows:

Page Woodson Dunbar

-

100 110 90

These three Fifth Year Centers could be combined into one and located at Woodson. The Woodson building has a capacity of 676 and includes a gym and a media center. The Middle School-High School and grades 1-4 assignments of the pupils would remain the same.

Combining the three centers would provide a total school enrollment of 300 fifth year students with a. black-white ratio of 30.3^. Sixty-five (65) kindergarten children would be enrolled at the Woodson Fifth Year Center. The enlarged student popu.lation would be sufficient to accommodate different types of groupings of students (reading levels, interest groups, learning styles, etc.). It would provide for greater flexibility in .making student assignments to .meet their individual needs. Also, it would make it more feasible to provide the special services of this school district, such as special education, speech therapists, Title I, etc. In addition it would be a savings in the number of principals and teachers needed as well as in the custodial and secretarial areas.

j I | | | ‘ ! | I : i

You will note on a .map of the school district that Woodson is the most centrally located of the three schools being about 9-10 blocks east of Page and 6-7 blocks west

| Douglass High School

i

! It is recommended, that the 9th grade at Douglass High School, which has been housed on j the Kennedy campus, be .moved to the Douglass campus. The building capacity of the j main Douglass campus, calculated at 30 students per room, is 1320. The predicted | enrollment at Douglass for the 1973~7^ school year including the 9th grade is 1368 j students.

j ; Last Spring Douglass had U37 ninth graders housed in the Kennedy Building which has a | building capacity of 1300 students. j ; \ | ; |

Obviously a physically-divided high school campus is not a desirable situation. There had to be movement among teachers and students along Eastern Avenue between the two campuses. Consolidating the student bodies would do much for improving the overall school spirit. Mr. Jake Diggs did an excellent job last year. Without complaining he has indicated on several occasions that the situation was .made more difficult because of the divided campuses.

| By combining the two campuses we should be able to operate with a reduction of one i principal, assistant principal, counselor, librarian, nurse, secretary, aide, and I possibly three teachers.

I Utilization of the John F. Kennedy Building

b

Consideration should be given to consolidating the Culbertson, Lincoln and Truman Fifth Year Centers and assigning all pupils to the John F. Kennedy Building. All of you are aware of the Medical Center expansion and urban renewal and the. dwindling enrollments at Culbertson, Lincoln, and Truman. The projected enrollments (excluding kindergarten) for 1973-7^- are as follows: j Lincoln [ Culbertson

Combining the three Fifth Year Centers would result in a predicted enrollment of 635 1^ fifth graders with a black-white ratio of 31 «7$* The combined kindergarten enrollments |i would be 140 pupils., The new Fifth Year Center would have an enrollment of slightly over 800 pupils compared to the 437 pupils utilizing the building last year.

| ! j

The program advantages are apparent. The Fifth Year Center students would have access \ to gymnasiums, industrial arts, home economics, art rooms as well as a modern library [ and instructional .media area. I believe the Kennedy Fifth Year Center would become one of the outstanding programs in the State of Oklahoma. The combining of the three J centers would result in a considerable saving in staff, commensurate with previous i consolidations discussed. !

In addition the more .modern building would replace the 1909 Culbertson School, the 1919 Lincoln School, and the. 1923 Truman School. Kennedy was built in 1964. Dr. Lillard continued, the Oklahoma City School System must give serious consideration toward the Qperation of fewer building units. A pupil loss of more than 8,000 over the past several years cannot be ignored. I would stress the point that middle or high school assignments would not be changed. The consolidations would be with adjacent buildings that have adequate room in the physical plant. This recommendation will require the utmost in discussion and consideration by this Board. I would be remiss if I would not call these recommendations to the attention of this Board.

Mr. McCray then stated, I am saying to Mr. Hall that we hear delegations that request to be heard on Thursdays only. It is to the action of the Board and i. the discretion of the Board that we would hear you today. What is the pleasure of the ( Board on hearing Mr. Hall? ) h

Mr. Knight inquired regarding the progress of a committee assigned to work on the matter.

r (

r i.

Dr. Lillard, addressing Mr. Johnson stated, I believe on Wednesday, July 11, 1973., we ii are scheduled for a hearing in Judge Parr's court. Will you, before that date, remindji the Superintendent and all members of the Board of our responsibility in this matter? i

Mr. English - Do we (each member of the Board) have to personally appear?

(

Mr. Johnson - No, it is not necessary for any of you to appear. We usually ask the Superintendent to be present; also, then any member of the Board who wants to be H present. We .may want one or two of you to be present, but at this time I don't anticiJ pate the necessity to have anyone, but Dr. Lillard. From inquiry from Mr. l&iight on how it would affect the hearing on Wednesday if someone was heard (at.-today's .meeting) on the issue, Mr. Johnson replied that it would not affect the hearing and wouldn't react "against us." • #337

Dtion to Hear j JT Representative! 3 Salary ! sgotiations and I bher Delegations j

i

Mr. English - I would move that we permit Mr. Hall to speak for six minutes; I think that anything that needs to be said probably could be done in that length of time, since the procedural agreement is in the process of expiring. I think this is a recognized representative of their negotiations team.

i !■ | !|

i;

)

Mr. Estes commented on the Board policy of hearing delegations.

!

Mrs. York -.My~~feeling on the matter is that we should adopt the same rule as the City Council and hear them each time the Board rnets without we have called a special .meeting. That's my feeling, but if we are not going to adopt the same rule as the City Council and hear them each time the Board .meets then the rule .must apply to everybody.

' j > |

Mr. Knight - I will second Paul's motion to get it out there on the floor.

;

The Board continued to discuss the subject.

p

bj

Mrs. York - I would like to .make a substitute motion that we adopt the same rule as the City Council and hear delegations at each regular adjourned school board meeting. Mr. English - Would you agree to limit the speeches to 5 minutes? Mrs. York - Split the 12 (minutes) in half, maybe 6 (minutes), yes.

i;

I

Mr. English - I will second your motion if it involves the six minutes. Mr. Estes - In your motion, Mrs. York, does that, do you limit your motion to six j .minutes, and do they have to .make proper requests through the Superintendent's office?

Mrs. York - Make application as they come in the door out the City Council. That way we will know at the beginning bring it down, how many delegations we are going to hear; before the meeting starts at 4:30 then they are not to be that is fair enough.

there Just as they do at of the meeting; they will and if they haven't signed heard that day. I think

Mr. McCray - Does everybody understand Mrs. York's substitute motion? •

Dr. Krob - Would there be any limitation on the number of individuals that .might want to speak to one subject at any one meeting?

MEETING OF JULY 6, 1973 -CONT'D R. #337 - Motion to Hear ACT Repre s entat i ve etc. - cont'd

Mrs. York - No, I don't think so.

On roll call to the substitute motion, all members voted "Aye". On roll call to the original motion to hear Mr. Eldon Hall, all members voted "Aye".

â–

Mr. McCray - Mr. Hall, will you come forward; you have six minutes. Mr. Hall - Mr. President and other Board Members, as Chairman of ACT Negotiations Committee, I respectfully request that you voluntarily extend the time for the fact finding committee which Mr. Carey is chairman of and was here last week, to complete the work. Our representative Mr. Fagin and chairman of the committee, Mr. Carey, have been available all week to meet on the impasse situation. Your representative has been out of town. And we would request that ample time be given for that committee to do the work that we and you as the Board have asked them to do. Thank you.

NEW BUSINESS

Mr. Estes - I would like to make a motion, Mr. Chairman, that these people from Riverside School who are here and didn't know that we had changed the policy; that I would like to ask if anyone is here, Mrs. Hodges or anyone from the Riverside School who would like to be heard? If there is, then I would .make a motion that we grant you permission to be heard.

R. #338 Motion to Hear Representative from Riverside School

j i : { i

Mrs. York - Mr. Estes, I think that I would second that motion, too, but I think that if you will allow me to jump down to Unfinished Business and made a motion that I have, that they might not want to speak after they hear my motion. Mr. Estes - I imagine I know what your motion is going to be Mrs. York, but you wanted to introduce those people a while ago, and they are important to us, and important to the school system; we heard Mr. Hall at this time and I think this is the proper time for them, for one of them to be heard if they so desire to be heard. Now it is up to the Board.

Mr. McCray - You have heard the second by Mrs. York.

May we vote on your motion?

On roll call to the motion, all members voted "Aye". Speakers:

(1)

Michael McDonald - Student, Central Middle School who spoke on behalf of Riverside School not being closed.

Mr. McCray - Clyde, (Mr. Clyde Madden) I am willing to ask the Board to hear you; since we have had the motion I don't think we need to have another motion; we have set a precedence here; we would like for you to be brief if you will. (2)

Clyde Madden - Patron, who spoke on behalf on the schools as proposed for closing in the northeast area; that they be allowed to remain open.

Mrâ– Knight - I. would like to deal with the motion related to an establishment of a notebook with all Board policies in it that could be, in fact, shared with each member of the Board, and then we could update it; and I think I included that in the material that you received, and I would move that all past approved policy actions by the Board be prepared in a draft form, organized and compiled in a logical order in a notebook with an appropriate table of contents and index by the Clerk or an appropriate individual, and distributed to the Board Members one week prior to the next regularly scheduled meeting which would be July 19 (1973)> for its review and possible updating and/or eliminations; that is, the policy that has been passed and approved by this Board that we operate under.

! |R-#339 {Compilation of I Board Policy {Actions Approved

Mr. English seconded the motion. Mr. Estes - Before we act on that moil on, I have got a prepared recommendation that I would like to read to the Board. And I want to say this, that I have the utmost respect for Mr. Knight as a board member; he has perfect right to his feelings and his- thinking the same as I do. I worked on this memorandum that I am going to read to you; hopefully, that you will take it under consideration and thought before we start in to make a great amount of changes, and create more problems. This is the memorandum.

1.

I understand the reports made by our Treasurer. Also, we usually receive a monthly report which tells us how much was budgeted in an account; how much has been spent; and how much remains in that account. Personally I don't have any use for a lot more information. If fl need anymore I can always ask the Treasurer for it.

When I read Page 30, Paragraph U of the Handbook on Budget and Business Management, I notice that it says "a functional system of accounting." I don't see where it says "cost accounting." I believe we have a functional system of accounting. Functional, to me, means something that works. I have confidence in our accounting firms, our Chief Accountant, and our Business Manager. I know we use some of the most modern machinery available. Cost centers haven't been explained to me, but I don't think we need to spend a lot more money to establish a bunch of new centers. I am opposed to centralizing the Activity Funds from all of our elementary, middle, and high school buildings. These funds are raised by the local schools. The principals, teachers, parents, and kids have raised the money. The funds are properly audited. It could take 20-25 02? more people in the Central Office to handle all activity funds. I think it would take more time. Our people in the buildings don't want these funds taken away from them and brought down to the Central Office.

j ! y [i ,i J u

4.

This Board should have the final authority concerning the closing of a building. Now we even have to ask the Court for permission to close a building. I don't see how, under present conditions, we can accurately predict the enrollment in any j building for the next five years. What if we had predicted the enrollments in all I of our buildings five years ago for the next five years? We couldn't even guess ; we would be under the present Court orders. The predictions wouldn't amount to j anything. |

5-

Most Board policies are connected with personnel and building rentals. These policies are updated on a regular basis. To go back to 1891 and review all Board policies up to now would take six months or a year. It would take money and time. I don't see how a big Jobe, like this could be done in less than one week.

J

I j i i

Dr. Lillard and members of the Board responded with comments and questions regarding Mr. Knight's motion.

Dr. Lillard - To compile all of this in one volume would be very desirable. The time element to perform this Job concerns me. I think we really would need to possibly hire additional help. We might consider a graduate student at a reasonable rate working on a part-time basis. I would assume that within a few months, possibly, these could all be compiled...

;

Members of the Board continued the discussion.

Mr. McCray - I think if you would change the time limit stated in your motion to read "as soon as possible," it might pass the Board's approval.

I i

Mr. Knight - That would be fine. I would ask Dr. Lillard in terms of two months, three months, or time period needed?

j

Dr. Lillard - Again, I think, finding somebody to do this will take some time. I would rather set a deadline by the end of the first semester.

Mr. Knight--- I would be willing to amend my .motion - I will accept that kind of amendment; by at least the end of the first semester and that the Board receive a progress report of the work.

i i i

Mr. McCray - If the Superintendent sees that it is going to require more time, then i he would request additional time. Mr. Estes - What is the motion now? Mr. Knight - It is the same motion except that we have accepted a deadline date of the end of the first semester, with the idea that any policies that we pass from here on, that we would compile them and they would be put in some kind of compilation for the Board.

Mr. Ginn re-read the motion.

I. #3^0 lotion Re Integrated Financial Report

On roll call to the motion, all members voted "Aye".

Mr. Knight - Two othexjitems were sent to members of the Board, one was the integrated financial report. I will read that statement: Recommend that a monthly integrated financial report be .made to the Board in a very understandable form which would include all of the income and expense accounts with subtotals and grand totals; comparison with budget for the present month; budget to date; actual for the month and the previous year; and for the previous year to date. A cash flow report should also be included as part of this report, which reflects .monthly the interest earned on investments plus accumulated earned interest. We have basically parts of this report that we are receiving now. It comes in two different pieces and I am asking that we integrate it and add some comparative statistics so we know where we are going compared to the previous year.

Dr. Lillard and members of the Board discussed the motion, and Mr. David Light, Chief Accountant, responded to comments and questions from the Board.

I think | that this is an area in which we absolutely need policy, board policy, written and | distributed to all the interested parties within this community. I think part of our | problem becomes a problem when in fact we come to take an action, and I do not question) the action, when in fact we don't know previously what our policy is. I think that it I is important that the Board establish some kind of directions for the staff and for ' its constituents so that the constituents will know if in fact there is a possibility of closing in advance so that they in want to do something about it if they can. I think that all of us who lived through last year, and I was not a member of this Board, but .my did not know until the day he went to school, and he wasn't even sure then, what school he was going to. I think that creates unnecessary anxieties on the part of parents and pupils, and that's why I believe we ought to establish a policy around these kinds of issues, and I will now read it again: That the Board adopt a policy based upon wirtten recommendations from the Superintendent, to be received by each board .member by 5:00 p.m., July 17, 1973, establishing the guidelines for both the creation and closing of school buildings.

On roll call to the tabled motion, voting "Aye" - Mr. Estes, Dr. Krob, Dr. Moon, Mrs. York, and Mr. McCray. Voting "Nay" -Mr. English and Mr. Knight. The motion carried.

H !i â– j

Mr. McCray - We will consider the various factors relating to negotiations with the Association of Classroom Teachers. The extension ended today at 4:30. What is your pleasure in regard to these...?

;i

Dr. Lillard and members of the Board discussed the July 11th date regarding the injunction, the court appearance and other.

i h

Mr. Johnson advised that he plans to file a demur before July 11, and if the Court sustains his demur, the lawsuit would be over Wednesday (July 11).

P P

Mr. Estes - If the Court rules in favor of ACT and holds for 60 days, Dr. Lillard, what is it going to do to this system? .

b P 5 h

Dr. Lillard - I would not project what the Court is going to do. We will finally reach a point where we do have to consider all employees and make recommendations to the Board for personnel other than classroom teachers concerning salary schedules for 1973-74.

H ji

Mr. Knight - At the present time it is my understanding that we have had two requests for continuation, is that correct?

: j \ i I

P H

Mr. Johnson - I don't think it would hurt anything for the Board to extend it until the 11th (July 11, 1973); about all that can be done has been done by approving this budget. If the Court sustains my demur, that ends the court proceedings. If the Court does not sustain the demur and issues an order, we will have to go ahead and comply with the Court's decision and reopen negotiations, dependent on the action of the Court. We couldn't be doing anything further in the meanwhile, and committees could be negotiating in the meantime. And I wouldn't see any harm in the Board going ahead and extending it at least until the Court passes on it.

p I' y h

Mr. Estes - And we would continue to pay the people on last year's salary schedule? I think there should be a deadline as far as I am concerned about setting our budget and going on with it, but if it is the will of the Board that we say until the 11th until we make a decision, I will go along with it. Mr. McCray - But you are not .making the motion? Mr. Estes - I will .make a motion then; make a .motion that we do not act on the negotiations of-the salaries for the teachers until the: 11th (of July) when we have heard from the Court. Mr. McCray - If I may summarize what Mr. Johnson has said; he can see nothing wrong with the Board extending the time until the Court does make a decision on July 11. And if it (the Court's decision) is in our favor, that would end the litigation; but if it is not, we would be in negotiations anyway.

Mr. Conine - "Mr. McCray and members of the Board, as you are aware, teams representing you and our association have met for several weeks to negotiate both monetary and non-monetary items. We have acted in good faith in this collective bargaining that is authorized under state law. Our impasse on salary was broken last weekend when the leadership of our association voted to recommend to the teachers that they accept your team's offer, a 714$ salary increase for all Oklahoma City teachers for the 1973-74 i school year. We made this decision in the best interest of the children and patrons of the District. Nevertheless we believe a larger raise was and is justified, but we wanted to settle this matter so the next school year could begin on more peaceful note than the last year. "Now you may believe that you are required to stay within the 5-5$ voluntary guideline of the Cost of Living Council; we do not. We believe you should go beyond the 5»5$ because the regulations clearly state that adjustments in excess of the standards may be made as necessary to prevent gross inequities. Such inequities exist here in relation to what other systems of comparable size are paying their teachers. Our association most- strongly recommends that you take two actions today - one, you honor the offer .made by your negotiations team for the 7*4$ raise as called for in their #35 and. #36 schedule; and, two, you extend the negotiation contract to not prevent both teams to resolve the more than a dozen non-monetary items which are so vital to the good working conditions in our schools. Thank you."

REPORT OF THE ADVISORY COMMITTEE

The undersigned members of the Advisory Committee selected under the Agreement of March 5, 1973 between Independent School District Number 89 of Oklahoma County and the Association of Classroom Teachers of Oklahoma City do hereby report as follows:

| ; ; > \

1.

As to the non-economic issues outstanding between the parties., the Committee finds that they are all peculiar to the performance of the education process and that they should be left for resolution by the parties in negotiations, as the Committee members do not consider themselves to have the expertise in the field of education which is needed in order to .make a recommendation.

2.

As to the economic issues, of the salaries to be paid during the 1973-7^- school year, the parties are subject to Section 130.12 of Regulations of The Cost of Living Council, which provides as follows:

j i

j j

"The general wage and salary standard is a 5«5 percent increase per annum. The standard shall apply to any pay adjustment payable with respect to an appropriate employee unit after January 10, 1973• Adjustments in excess of the standard may be made only as necessary to reflect qualified fringe benefits or to prevent gross inequities, serious market disruptions, or localized shortages of labor. The policies and

i j 5 |

principles, including the computation methods, contained in the Bay Board's regulations in effect on January 10, 1973, can be used in applying the standard. No wage or salary increase should be placed into effect which is unreasonably inconsistent with the standard or the goals of the Economic Stabilization Program.”

| ’ • | ’

The .maximum increase allowable is per year and the increase for the 1973-7^school year should be limited accordingly.

MINORITY REPORT OF ADVISORY COMMITTEE MEMBER

The undersigned .member of the Advisory Committee selected under the Agreement of March 5, 1973, between Independent School District No. 89 of Oklahoma County and the Association of Classroom Teachers of Oklahoma City, does hereby submit his report as follows:

! j

1.

As to the noneconomic issues outstanding between the parties, I concur with the .majority report in finding that these issues are all peculiar to the performance of the education process and they should be left for resolution by the parties in negotiations. The undersigned committee .member does not consider himself to have the necessary facts at this time or the expertise in the field of education which is needed in order to .make a valid recommendation under these circumstances.

2.

I respectfully dissent from certain portions of the .majority report, as it pertains to the economic issue of the salaries to be paid during the 1973-7^school year. The .majority report reflects that they cannot recommend an increase for the 1973-7^ school year in excess' 5«5$>, because of the limitations set forth

' ? j

i

i

in Section 130.12 of the Regulations of the Cost of Living Council under Phase Three of the current fiscal policy.

The undersigned respectfully dissents from this conclusion and submits a. salary recommendation in excess of the 5-5$ limitation because of the following factors:

Thus, in the opinion of the undersigned, the report by the Advisory Board is .moot as to the issue of salary increases.

C.

.'

The Association of Classroom Teachers of Oklahoma City, on July 14, 1973, issued a public statement through its president, Wilton Conine, accepting the salary increase of 7-^$ offered by the negotiating team of the Oklahoma City Board of Education, and which offer was apparently never withdrawn.

Even if the cited section of the Voluntary Regulations of the Cost of

Living Council is applicable, the Regulation clearly sets forth that "adjustments in excess of the standards may be .made as necessary ... to prevent gross inequities..." It takes very little analysis to recognize the "gross inequities" existent in the salaries for teachers in the Oklahoma City School District. Teachers' salaries, in general, throughout Oklahoma are notoriously low and certainly so in the Oklahoma City School District, in relation to the only comparable school district in the State of Oklahoma, the Tulsa School District. My information reflects that in Tulsa the salaries are over One Thousand Dollars ($1,000) per teacher higher on the average than Oklahoma City. It is further suggested that, should there be any doubt whatsoever on the part of the Board of Education that the teachers .may justifiably receive

Respectfully submitted, Arnold D. Fagin, Member ■ Mr. Carey responded to inquiries, questions, comments, and points of clarification from members of the Board.

h Mr. McCray, responding to statements by members of the Board and inquiry from \\ Mrs. York, asked the Superintendent for a response. Dr. Lillard first stated that ‘ ij the Board's negotiations team would meet at any time and follow any procedure which :l the Board directed the team to do. Dr. Lillard continued, "I think we are getting H back into the process of negotiations; I will make two points very direct. The Board's ■\ team did not declare the impasse. Then we followed the procedure as required in I! appointing a member to the fact-finding committee. We have been available to the factH finding committee to furnish information as have members of the other team. I think that all of these items are subject to interpretation. I have always thought that P when you made someone an offer and they refused it then the offer no longer existed. ji You do not have negotiations going on now because you cannot have negotiations going on while your fact-finding team is in operation. I think on two or three occasions ij the Board has asked me for a recommendation concerning extending the time element on ij the procedural agreement. In both instances I have been consistent; I have said that ji I would recommend that you not extend the time of the procedural agreement. So that jj brings us up to the reportof the fact-finding committee as of this time."

"

Mrs. York, after making inquiry to Mr. Conine regarding a request for further extension of the procedural agreement, made a motion that the Association of Classroom Teachers h be given one week extension to continue their negotiations. There being no second to j jj the motion, Mr. McCray declared that Mrs. York's motion died for the want of a second, j

Mr. English inquired regarding planning for 1973“7^ salary schedules, in regard to the > \\ Board meeting of July 19th. i d ; jj Dr. Lillard - "I have stated on previous occasions, I think that it is imperative for j i! those employees who are presently rendering service for the School District at the i ji 1972-73 rates; I think it is important that we give an early answer regarding salaries. j | This administration has always been committed; I think the Board has always indicated j to me that every dollar that can be placed into the teachers' and other employees' i j salary schedules should be placed there. We recognize the better the salary schedule, ’ ji the better the quality of employee in our service. We would hope to have salary j i| schedule recommendations available for the Board, and make them to the Board at your j!

next regular adjourned meeting, Thursday, July 19th."

j

A motion was made by Mr. Estes and seconded by Dr. Moon to accept the fact-finding or Advisory Committee report as presented. Mr. Knight offered an amendment to the motion, to express appreciation to all members of the Advisory Committee for their interest, concern, and work in the matter. Mr. Estes and Dr. Moon accepted the amendment on the motion and the second. On roll call, all members voted "Aye". ADJOURNMENT

MEETING OF JULY 19, 1973 - CONT'D

Dr. Lillard - I did previously provide the. Board with my recommendations. As I make these recommendations concerning 1973-7^..salary schedules, I would like to point out that it is quite obvious that the purpose of a salary schedule is to reward the demonstrated competence of employees; also to attract new employees to the school system. Salary schedules relate to groups of employees. The schedule is then applied to all employees within that given group.

Salary Schedule Recommendations for 1973-7^

There is a reasonable urgency for the adoption of major salary schedules for 1973-7^-• Employees are entitled to know as soon as possible their financial status for the coming school year.

j i I j \ i |

The State Legislature did provide an amount of money which will furnish each certifi- i; cated employee a minimum raise of $^15 per year or a range from $35O-$5^O if the OEA plan would be implemented. The State did not provide raises or money for raises for H anyone other than certificated employees. In addition, the State did not provide money to cover the increased cost of social security and teacher retirement benefits. :• These costs and the raises provided for noncertificated employees as well as any amount above the State mandated amount must be provided from local funds. This school i; district has an obligation to share its limited financial resources with all employees.B

; i | ■ § i | '

The salary schedules to be discussed this evening; the recommendations are made in B consideration with the mandate of the State Legislature, with the report of the fact-finding committee; conferences with communication groups representing major H employee groups; appropriate central office staff, including our Chief Accountant, our B Business Manager, and our Attorney. To the best of our knowledge and according to B existing IRS guidelines, all recommendations for certificated and noncertificated B employees are within the existing legal limitations and the financial resources of H this school district.

Salary schedule recommendations are being made in an financial benefits to all employees of this system. and other employees to have the best possible working schedules to be recommended this evening will move us

during our last sessions of negotiations with the ACT; quite similar with just a jj minor variation. The beginning salary schedule will have a beginning bachelor's step p of $7000, and a maximum of $9,W3; the master's will begin at $7300; the maximum on j! the master's will be $10,130.

million to provide raises for classroom teachers. This schedule will cost the Oklahoma City School District approximately $300,000 to provide the raise for classroom teachers. The range of raises for classroom teachers will be from $^90 to $725We have checked quite carefully that we are within existing guidelines; we have checked with IRS. and the increments provided in the base year of 1971-72 are not chargeable against the 5’5$« The raise that I am recommending to the Board will be slightly below 7% - 6.91$; 1-58 being the increment which is nonchargeable, and 5-33$ being the amount that would be chargeable to the IRS guidelines. This is an important step for this board of education to consider; this represents the largest group of employees in the school system. ,

Lillard then reviewed the additional salary schedules - counselors, assistant elementary principals, middle school assistant principals, high school assistant principals; elementary, middle school, and high school principals; practical nursing, clerical employees, custodial, Security Department, Transportation Department; and for Central Food Service which is not a part of the General Fund.)

Dr. Lillard - Next year we will be living on this (1972-73) year's average daily attendance calculation and income. Next year will be a very difficult year financiallyj 1972-73 we had fewer pupils than planned, but we were receiving our income from the previous year's average daily attendance. The year 1973-7^ will be a much more austere year financially, and that is why building principals will watch very carefully not to be over-staffed.

These are my salary schedule recommendations; considering our financial resources, I can recommend them (salary schedules) to the Oklahoma City Board of Education for its consideration.

MEETING OF JULY 19, 1973 - CONT'D

Comments were made by Mrs- York and Mr. Estes pertaining to cafeteria employees, and (Mrs. York) Security personnel, and by Mr.. Knight pertaining to cafeterias. Mr.Knight raised a question in the fringe benefit area - Is any of this (fringe benefits) included in the dollar figures given to us; the million, three hundred thousand, that's just salaries? In addition to the raising of salaries, the Social Security is going up and you have to deal with that issue. One of the ways to deal with some of these things is to take a look at your fringes rather than pay. One fringe benefit that is most costly for all people is probably hospitalization.

Dr. Lillard - This has in the past been discussed with employee groups.

was that we establish guidelines for both the creation and closing of school buildings.] Such guidelines are to, at least, include minimum size of student enrollment, as I ] understand it there is a state law on that that states 100 students; cost factors; ' maximum traveling distance by the safest route(s); present and projected student i population in all grade categories for the next five years in the school areas to be I affected; the process by which constituents; patrons, parents, staff, and students ] are both informed and involved in advance of such proposed actions, or any other j guidelines as necessary, with the Board of Education taking final action based upon ■, these guidelines. I think that we will probably face from time to time situations where we are going to have to establish new schools, and probably situations where it will be necessary to close buildings, and I think we ought to establish a board policy in that matter so that it gives both our staff and the patrons an opportunity to be aware of it in advance, and then we can prevent a lot of anxieties." ]

Instruct that the General Fund savings resulting from closing the eight aforementioned schools, estimated at a minimum of $300,000, be used to reduce the pupil-? teacher ratio for the entire system to an average below that of the 1972-73 school ; year, with emphasis on employment of teachers for classroom duty, rather than ■ administrative personnel, to reduce the pupil-teacher ratio. ;

; ;

Mr. English continued. First, you will notice attached to the motion is a sheet that lists the projected savings by closing these eight schools which amount to more than < one-third of a million dollars. We are talking about eight elementary principals at $13,000 a year, $104,000; eight cafeteria managers; that is 844,000. What we are talking about here is that we are going to needlessly spend $350,000 for 1,000 studentsi As it was mentioned a moment ago, the State Department of Education requires that to ' start a new elementary school you must have at least 100 students. Several of these j schools do not meet that qualification. The reason for the 100 is that they also j recognize quality education is not coming from the small schools. We would be handij capping our "space age" students and teachers by trying to force them to live in a i "horse and buggy" day. ' ’■ ; Mr. English continued and explained his reasons for proposing the closing of the ■ schools as stated in his motion.

j

Mr. Knight - I would like to make one statement before we close. I think a lot of 'j the discussion that has taken place at the last two or three meetings around this issue; and I think as a parent with three children in the school system, and I H recognize that there are other members of this Board that, too,have children in the ;! school system; I think there are a number of things here that in terms of the people that go out there and vote and are concerned about what happens in the schools; I p think that we need to be more concerned about them, and that is in terms of setting B things in advance for them, and that's my concern as I take a look at some of the items that we dealt with. My experience today is that we do act on a lot of things i; at the last minute, and I do not believe that that is going to be, create the positive image for us in the community. I think it can create some problems for us. I think j; some of the things, some of the actions that we have taken today or in the last three B meetings will in fact come back to haunt this Board. I hope not, but I think that we jl will be dealing with some things that will come back. I would hope that we can start B looking as far ahead as possible in terms of the decisions so that parents and pupils, j| and other interested parties can make plans accordingly in advance, and not have to j! wait until the last minute, and that we don't create anymore anxieties because H education in an nxiety world is not necessarily positive. I don't think we are going to eliminate them all, but I think as a Board, we can reduce a great number that we N don't. H

MEETING OF AUGUST 6, 1973 - CONT'D LEGAL AND FINANCIAL REPORTS

As the President called for the Attorney's Report, Mr. Knight made the following statement: Mr. Knight - Mr. President, just before we move there, could I make a remark or observation that I recognize that there are times when certain documents are presented to this group such as this, sand I think this is an excellent way to handle it in draft form until you finalize it;, but there are also other written statements I am that maybe we verbally make, although they are off a written statement. wondering if they can't be actually, rather than verbatum, placed in the text of the minutes; whether they can't be, say see attachment, and we actually put them in as an attachment when we are going to use all of them, rather than verbatum in the minutes.

Mr. McCray, Dr. Lillard, and Mr. Knight discussed the suggestion. Mr. Johnson reported:

Information to the Board

Correspondence to the Biracial Committee

In referring to written information that had Been at an earlier date given to the Board, Dr. Lillard reported that the Biracial Committee had made a request for information, and consistent with our practices in the past, when the request is made By the Biracial Committee this information is furnished first to the Oklahoma City Board of Education, and then it is released for the Biracial Committee. This information is very Basic. It is concerning transportation for 1973-71*-. (2)

i

Emergency School Assistance Act Application It is extremely important that topic Number 2 be,brought to your attention at this! time. Beginning January, 1973> the staff did begin work on an application for aid under the Emergency School Assistance Act. The application, a rather volumi- < nous document, was presented to the Oklahoma City Board of Education. The appli- j cation was submitted. In the application we had indicated that if the project ; were approved (the pilot project a part of the regular grant, about $700,000 for i one and $200,000 for the pilot project), that if U. S. Office of Education would \ fund the grant; then we would hope to have funds available by July 1, 1973• !

I

ii

\\

We have done quite a bit of work in advance working on the project, however we never begin implementation of a federal program until the Treasurer of the School District has received the funds, and the funds have been deposited. At this date, we have not been notified in writing that our Emergency School Assistance Act grant has been disapproved or approved. Some of the inservice education workshops and such were to begin this date. The time has come and gone; we should be in the process of selecting the employees involved. The Number 1 priority of this school system as designated by the Oklahoma City Board of Education is the improvement of reading and improvement in instruction of mathematics in the school system. The time is rapidly approaching and extremely difficult for the Administration, the people in charge of this program, to select a staff. We are on a very close time schedule; some of the tests were to be administered in September; pretesting and post-testing by the end of the year. A few weeks ago, the Secretary of Health, Education and Welfare, Mr. Weinberger, indicated that some of the regulations were being modified where certain school districts could comply and receive this aid; all we have is by newscast. It is very difficult to operate a school system by a "wire service report". Near the middle of July we did receive correspondence from Herman Goldberg, the Associate Commissioner of Education, indicating that the guidelines for ESAA are being changed and that the Regional Office would be in contact with us to consider our application. We have received nothing in writing at this time. If the money were received in the next week or ten days, some of the schedules that we have submitted in our grant would have to be renegotiated or some adjustment made.

i; u

Principals have selected staff; they are holding their breath that they won't receive resignations; then if we must "raid" their staffs for about 70 or 50 people to staff this program, this will create a difficult situation. The Board of Education should be aware that if and when we are notified that our grant has been approved, or if it is disapproved, and why, we will contact the Board just as soon as~-possible. If we were notified that the grant has been approved, I think we need to renegotiate some of these dates and such.

si

Three alternatives to be considered:

b

i

?!

1.

If and when HEW funds are available for this project then we should renegotiate the schedule. The project does include pretesting and posttesting. Possibly many of the schedules would have to be moved back one month, six weeks, or possibly even two months.

2.

We can contact the U. S. Office of Education indicating our problem, and if the funds are not received soon, suggest maybe a project that would encompass a semester, possibly the second semester.

3-

We could contact the U. S. Office of Education indicating the problem, and ask that our application for 1973-7^- be withdrawn. We can indicate that we would consider resubmitting an application for 197^~75-

MEETING OF AUGUST 6, 1973 -CORT'D

Dr. Lillard continued:

Remarks [ : J [ j i i

\

I had earlier given you a list of some of the workshops that were being conducted during the month of June. Currently other workshops are being conducted during August. This is not a complete list, but beginning one week from today at Parmelee Elementary School we will have a workshop for 33 teachers from 13 schools for those teachers with Spanish speaking children in their classes. One week from today at Van Buren Elementary School, we will have 88 teachers from 22 schools; one week from today at the Voc-Tech Center, Fifth Year curriculum people are meeting; there will be 150 teachers in attendance from 15 schools; and one week from today in the Administration Building, Middle School curriculum; we will have 177 teachers and administrators from our 11 middle schools. As we had planned last spring and early in the summer, we are gearing up for the beginning of the 1973-7^- school year.

!

Dr. Lillard responded to questions and comments by members of the Board.

| |

Mrs. York referred to a workshop on law, being conducted through the Crime Bureau, which was held at Norman. She indicated that she had been in touch with a gentleman who was connected with the workshop and had secured names of teachers from the Oklahoma City School System who attended. Mrs. York indicated that the training was to be a part of a pilot program that would be used in the classroom, and the Board and Administration should be aware of what information the teachers are going to use in the classroom.

Dr. Lillard responded that he understood that the real purpose of the seminar was to talk about how laws are developed and why we need laws, and the aspects of the constitution, and offer a chance for teachers to have direct contact with district attorneys, law professors, and also law enforcement officials. Dr. Lillard added that before any pilot program was implemented in the Oklahoma City School System, the Board would be made aware of that program.

Mrs. York made a motion to instruct Dr. Mervel Lunn to contact the gentleman in Norman, as referred to earlier, "and get a copy of all the materials- that he will be giving the teachers that come back into Oklahoma City, so that we can make copies and distribute to the Board so that we will know; as this administration needs to know what the teachers are going to have in the classrooms." Discussion continued by Mrs. York and other members of the Board, and Dr. Lillard responded to additional comments and questions. After the discussion, Mr. McCray called for a second to Mrs. York's motion. There being no second to the motion, Mr. McCray declared that "the motion dies for the want of a second."

Referring to the Central Food Service Department's Annual Statement, Dr. Lillard remarked: At the end of the 1971-72 school year the Central Food Service financial statement showed a profit of approximately $98,000. At the end of the 1972-73 school year the Central Food Service Financial statement showed a profit of slightly over $53,000. The Board from the General Fund, during the 1972-73 school year, subsidized the Central Food Service Department in the amount of approximately $57?000. Considering these factors, one realizes that the Central Food Service Department is a non! profit operation. Dr. Lillard additionally remarked by referring to a news clipping from a national newspaper which revealed.problems confronting most major school systems in relation to their food service operations. He remarked that in1 1971-72 we did not increase the price of food served to pupils, however, a lot of things will need to be done during the 1973-7^ school year. He questioned whether or not some serving units (small schools) can continue to operate. He stated, "I will bring to the Board in the near future for its consideration various possibilities which will need to be considered in the overall food service operation from the point of efficiency and management; the food, the type of food being served; because at the present time we appear to be on a treadmill. The price of food keeps going up; the price of labor keeps going up; the minimum wage is increasing and yet we continue to try to serve a well-balanced nutritional meal for 40 or 45 cents."

Information to J He continued, "I do not have a solution to the problem at the present time, but I think;' 'j the Board < we will have to look at the whole matter as ;to the type of food we serve; the way it i? Central Food ! is served; the financial resources available to the school system, and the financial Service Statement; resources available to the patrons. - cont'd j At a future Board meeting, I will elaborate more on the subject." | Dr. Lillard responded to questions and comments from various members of the Board. Mr. English questioned the previously authorized subsidy from the General Fund to the i Central Food service fund account, and inquired regarding the subsidy not appearing in the Central Food Service statement. Dr. Lillard indicated that the annual report will be revised to show the subsidy.

Dr. Lillard continued - Today the Board has finalized the document or procedure. The ;; staff will be finalizing the cards that are to be printed by the Board of Education and distributed by the Clerk. I am not aware of any other arrangements that have been J made with the Oklahoma City Board of Education. Mr. English directing a question to Mr. Johnson - If a group, whether it is ACT or AFT, or any other group, presents us with authorization cards signed by a majority of the professional educators of this district prior to this September 15 authorization ;i period that we have set up, would we be under any obligation; would we have to recog" nize that group as the negotiation unit? i 'Mr. Johnson - As I advised in the beginning, I think that the Board can regulate the signing of authorizations. If the Board does have that power (which I think it does) to regulate, then in order to be recognized they (organization) would be required to adhere to the Board's regulations.

The group of other people, the associates have asked Dr. Jack Weaver to submit a proposal for making a study on transportation in Oklahoma City. The Associations have been waiting for this proposal. I understand that they have now received the proposal, and I can get the information from them for presentation at an early date. I understand that it costs something like $8100.

Mr. Knight - And the reason for going to Texas A&M?

J;

Mr. Williams - There are two reasons. One, to be completely impartial; they (the association) want to get someone that is in no way connected with Oklahoma City. Two, the Southwest Traffic Institute at Texas A&M is recognized nationwide in this field.

UNFINISHED BUSINESS

Dr. Krob made the report as follows: COMMITTEE REPORT OKLAHOMA CITY BOARD OF EDUCATION Monday, August 6, 1973 This board is aware of implied action desired by the Court concerning the racial composition at Douglass, Grant, and Northeast High Schools. This committee has met and individually and collectively spent considerable time evaluating data relating to these schools also from the feeder schools serving these high schools.

j Report of the !Board's Committee ;on the Reassignjment of Pupils at jU. S. Grant, iDouglass, and (Northeast High |Schools by |Dr. Krob, I Chairman

We realize that any recommendation made by this committee and any action by this board may not be well accepted by all patrons nor satisfy the Court. Criteria used in our evaluation was to reassign as few students as possible and to find those students in as small an area as possible.

The committee is acutely aware of the problems of the past year, and the thin line of stability that exists in our school system. At one point it was thought the committee was in agreement upon procedures but there was a misinterpretaion of views. The committee is unanimous in the feeling that the district needs the forthcoming year to settle down and consolidate the progress that has been made toward "A Unitary System," which to my knowledge has not been defined. Even with reassignment there would be particular B-W ratio. We are in fact tions. The mobility of the populace, plan, late enrollments, dropouts, and which are controllable.

no certainty that any one school would reach a not sure of the reliability of present projeclack of background experience in the present other factors have an effect on ratios, none of

It is therefore the committee's recommendation that the board ask the Court's indulgence and require no change in student assignments for this year, hoping for greater stability, harmony, and lessening of student and patron anxieties.

!

Perhaps this would enhance the possibility that all students will take advantage of the situation for a greater educational opportunity that this system could then offer under’such circumstances.

Herbert R. Krob F. D. Moon C. B. McCray Dr. Krob - If the Court will not accept the above and orders further reassignment, the following is the recommendation of this committee. This applies only to ^th grade students from the following areas: A.

The Kerr Village Apartment Complex, an area located within the Rockwood Elementary School attendance area, be removed from the Douglass High School attendance zone, and be added to the U. S. Grant High School attendance zone, for ninth grade students. The projected number of ninth grade students involved is 46.

B.

Three areas --

Area 1 - An area beginning at Northeast 36th Street and Kelley, then east along Northeast 36th Street to Eastern Avenue, then north along Eastern Avenue to Springlake Drive, then west southwest along Springlake Drive to Kelley and Northeast 36th Street, the place of beginning (a portion of the James Polk Elementary attendance zone north of Northeast 36th Street); and, Area 2 - all of the Sooner-Haven Apartment Complex; and,

Area 3 - all of the Forest Oaks Apartment Complex; areas which were- assigned to Northeast High School during the 1972-73 school year, be assigned to John Marshall High School, for ninth grade students.

MEETING OF AUGUST 6, 1973 - CONT'D R. #392 Motion to Accept Committee1s Recommendations

Dr. Moon - With, regret, hut after much soul searching, I have decided to make a motion q that the Board accept the Committee's recommendations.

i

§

j §

i

Dr. Moon made additional remarks regarding the Committee' s report and his reaction to ( the subject. Dr. Moon continued - However, in the event as Dr. Krob ha’s read in the q proposal, that the Court does not approve the situation to stand as is, I join in the t thinking that it would be better to have no change this school year. We had some j; difficulties that were racial in nature and especially in one section of our city, and '■ it would be better in my judgment if we could just leave everything as is through ;• another year because there is no question that far greater stabilization is taking place and that we are moving very rapidly toward such stabilization throughout the < city. I think it would be better to not make a change. I am moving to accept this if j the Court refuses to permit things to remain as they are. It is the time of the year 1 that decisions must be made soon because teachers are in the process of being selected; ;; time is the essence. It is very important that the matter be settled at the earliest ’■ possible moment so that we may proceed. In the event that the request is not granted to allow the situation to stand as is, I will then make the motion covering the three situations that the Court previously called to our attention. First, that Douglass has a majority black student body; second, that Northeast has a majority black student q body, and the third thing that was called to the Board's attention was the small number of blacks at Grant. In case the Court does not grant the request to leave the matters as are for the 1973-74 school year, then I would move that we accept and adopt !; the following: ;■ A.

The Kerr Village Apartment Complex, an area located within the Rockwood Elementary School attendance area, be removed from the Douglass High School attendance zone, and be added to the U. S.

SPECIAL BUSINESS

Purpose of Meeting

As Mr. McCray opened the meeting, he reminded the members of the Board that this Special Meeting was called to consider.the Court Order of August 10, 1973• He continued, "I don't think it is necessary that the Order should be read in its entirety. If there are inquiries about the Court Order, these questions should be asked at this time." He stated, "Having heard no requests nor questions, what is your pleasure on the Court Order? Dr. Krob is Chairman of the Committee studying.this matter; I am sure that Dr. Krob has something he would like to report at this time."

Dr. Krob - Mr. Chairman and Board Members, patrons, staff and news media, you are all aware of the directive recently received from the Court. The committee that was appointed to look into reassignment of students to satisfy the Court's Order had, from the beginning, developed a number of alternatives, and I would state again, the route that we took was to move the fewest number of students possible; to move them the shortest distance possible; to locate them in as concentrated areas as possible so that transportation would not be encumbered anymore than was absolutely necessary. | The original recommendation that we made was denied; we have come up with an alternated That alternate consists of the suggestion which we originally presented to the Court, ■ with the addition of adding the tenth and eleventh grades from those areas, and with | | a change in the designated schools. The Kerr Village area - the ninth, tenth, and eleventh grades, consisting of 97 students, would be reassigned to Grant High School. ! In the other two areas, that area of the Polk School attendance area, north of North- | east 36th, numbering 96 students, would be reassigned to John Marshall High School j also includes the ninth, tenth, and eleventh grades; seniors would be excepted. The ; Sooner Haven and Forest Oaks areas would be assigned to Northwest Classen, consisting j of approximately 70 ninth, tenth, and eleventh grade students. With those additional j changes - and with the change in assignment from John Marshall High School partly to Northwest Classen, we feel that this is tie committee's recommendation. This suggestion was one of our alternatives from the beginning; we had discussed the suggestion and decided not to submit it, and now we are back to this suggestion again. I will say that, in the absence of Dr. Moon, the corftmittee was unanimous in the suggestion and although reluctantly unanimous, and I would ask Mr. McCray for his remarks because he had a conversation with Dr. Moon Saturday morning on this reassignment. I would ask Mr. McCray at this time to relate what Dr. Moon said.

i

Mr. McCray - Having talked with Dr. Moon, he indicated that he would not be present at today's meeting; that he had made previous plans to be out of the state and could not change his plans at this late hour, having purchased his ticket and ready to board the plane 30 minutes from the conclusion of our conversation. As has been stated, the Board's committee, chaired by Dr. Krob, was unanimous in recommending the first plan to the Board of Education. We thought it was better to leave the school attendance areas as they are for the 1973-7^- years and let everything stabilize and the tempers and personal feelings "cool —~'1 off" --p-p" for a year. However, you know the Court did not agree. Dr. Krob explained in view of the discussion with Dr. Moon; Dr. Moon told me that he was disappointed , of course. That he (Dr. Moon) would much rather have had it the way we had it, but under the circumstances that he would go along with the recommendation of the committee but insisted that I relate , with extreme reluctance that he would accept this and go along with our recommendation, Dr. Moon has spent a lot of time and has evaluated everything as best he knew how , and also thinking about the people involved. I think that this is most important that his reflections be made a part of this meeting.

$

What is your pleasure on the Chairman of the committee's recommendation to the Board? Mr. English - I move the approval of the committee's recommendation. Mr. McCray - You have heard the motion by Mr. English, do I hear a second? t

Mr. McCray - I don't know Mrs. York, only this is a matter for the Board to solve and I think the Board has had many opportunities to discuss with different people regarding this matter, and I think that our opinions and our feelings and our reactions should be without any further support or without any others discussing it. Are there other questions?

’ • Dr. Lillard - (1) General Fund Operating Budget - I am recommending approval of the General Fund operating budget for the: 1973-74 school year in the amount of $37,17O,OOO«OO, and the approval of the 5 Mill Building Levy operating budget for the 1973-74 school year in the amount of $2,875,000.00. Previous to this meeting, during the past several days,members of the Board have received voluminous amounts of information concerning the operating budget, General Fund and the 5 Mill Building Levy budgets. For the first time in many years the General Fund budget will be decreasing in the amount of approximately $1,300,000.00. Pupil population in this school system

has diminished rapidly the past several years. Many sources of revenue in our General Fund budget are related to average daily attendance (ADA). As the pupil population or average daily attendance decreases, the amount of revenue or anticipated revenue for your General Fund budget decreases.

The 5 Mill Building Levy budget which is applied directly to the District's valuation increases while the General Fund operating budget decreases. An analysis of the budget of the Oklahoma City School System indicating the amounts spent for the various areas would indicate that our budget appears to be consistent with other school district budgets on a state average and national average; and also in the reflections of our past expenditures, this school district does spend considerably less for administration than most school districts in the state and the nation. The Oklahoma average is over 4$ of your budget for administration, and Oklahoma City will be spending approximately 2^fo for administration. The amount for instruction is within 1$ of the national and Oklahoma average. We do spend considerably more in Oklahoma City for attendance and health services; approximately 3 times the state and national averages. This is a reflection of an urban school system where attendance usually is lower than in most school systems over the state and over the nation. Transportation is very slightly more than the state average, and slightly less that the national average. The state average is 4.07$ and the national average is 4.24$. We spend approximately 4.21$.

Some of these data are interesting; some might be rather meaningless to many people. j{ Community services - many school systems provide very little of these services, night is school, adult school, summer school, playground activities; we do spend considerably ;j more than the national average but again only about 1.52$ of our budget. Fixed p charges - social security, insurance, rentals and bonds and such, are consistent with -i state and national averages. An analysis of the budget would indicate that the overall:! posture or financial position of the school system is fairly adequate. Again, this ji past year we were receiving most funds based on the previous year's average daily ;j attendance. During 1973-7^- we will receive most of our revenues based on last year's average daily attendance. We will have a marked drop in many of our financial resour- :• ces next (1973-7^-) year because this (1972-73) is the year that we lost approximately 6,000 students. This will affect our revenue.

When I first became superintendent, the General Fund reserve was 2.9$. Each year we have been able to build to make the reserve more adequate. The auditors of this school system have insisted that our reserve should never be below 5$- State Department official indicate that it should never exceed 10$. We will be going into the (1973-7^-) year with a reserve of approximately 8$. In the 1972 report of the State Department of Education, analyzing the districts in Oklahoma County, Oklahoma City had the smallest reserve in their budget of any school system in Oklahoma County. Some school systems were carrying 20$, 18$, 9$; ■ and 10$. Our reserve was ranging approximately 65$ at that time.

ij ,j ;j

(

jj ;i

School finance is a very complicated procedure, and budget construction is reasonably complex. As an agency of the State, there can be no deficit spending by this school district. All expenditures must be within anticipated revenues; the Board's consideration of a budget, other than salary schedules or salaries of individuals, does not require the expenditure of any amount. Any item that is listed in the budget is an estimate of an amount to be spent in that area; any expenditure must be approved by the Board of Education. Individual action of the Board authorizes expenditures for transportation, instructional supplies, and instructional equipment for,.1973-7^’

We will consider each one individually.

Voting "Aye" - Dr. Kroh and. Dr. Moon. Mrs. York - Well, I would,like to reiterate ] exactly the samething that Mr. Knight has said., and. this is why I asked, for the percentages. We have had. already some controversy from our classroom teachers, and. ;; how and. why they knew, I don’t know; hut I mentioned that day, and I don't mind mentioning it in public, when we were in executive session, that I thought we were ■; going to get into serious problems when we let our superintendent, assistant superintendent, and our department heads have a greater percentage than we let the teachers have, and the principals. Because after all, I feel like they are in the "firing line", and I, too, would like to say, Dr. Lillard, that you are probably worth maybe ;i twice that much, but then in keeping with what we set forth for our teachers, I, too, will vote "No".

As voting continued, Mr. McCray voted "Aye".

Mr. McCray - In clarification, since theieis some misunderstanding being made, I think i the percentages have meant something, but when we made the raises for the teachers, a number of the teachers in our system got over a 6-91$ raise; that was the average Jj raise. This related to the fact that the raise along with the increment made some of them maybe as much as 10$. Now we are saying that we can raise the teachers 10$, whichj I would be willing to do if we had the money to cover it and raise them more if Ji necessary, but we are taking an exception to Dr. Lillard who had no increment included J in there; we are calling his 8$ and saying that it is unfair. I don't see that at all, and I think that we would have to relate honestly that in our judgment we had to assess every possibility and every situation, and certainly understanding what our j1 limitations were. And I think that should.be made a part of the record. "= Mr. Estes - I voted "Yes", and I can remember when Mr. English____ , when we were about to lose Dr. Lillard, when he was offered $45.,000.00 to go to Florida, Mr. English ;J suggested right at that time that we increase it to $^5>000.00. I don't believe he JJ overestimated his worth either. And I am for giving the teachers every dime that we >; possibly can, but there is a different situation when you talk about these Central ‘J Office people and a Superintendent of our school system here who works 12 months a JJ year; and the teachers work 9 months a year. They are putting in an additional 3 months a year or 2^- months a year; you are talking about a teacher puts in maybe ,2Q0 days a JJ year, and the Superintendent and the Central Office are putting in some 300 days a J; year. There should be a difference in percentage if you want to look at it from a jj percentage standpoint. I think that we should feel fortunate, having every other Jj administrative department head in this school system. I have the utmost confidence JJ in them. When you go to talking about the pay that we are paying our people, there are some that may be overpaid a little, and there are probably some that are underpaid.j) We are fortunate in having Dr. Lillard, and I predict he won't sit here many more Ji years and listen to be criticized because we don't think he is worth the money. I ,j want you to know publicly, Dr. Lillard, I think you are worth every dime of it, and jj I think we ought to pay you more. 'j Mrs. York - Mr. Estes, I think you misunderstood'me, I did not say, and I don't think Mr. Knight said, that we did not think that Dr. Lillard was worth the raise; we are talking about what we can and cannot afford, and it is as simple as that.

J; ij

Mr. Estes - We may not can afford the teachers' salary raise, but I was in favor of the teachers' salary, giving them every dime that we‘could, Mrs. York, and you were, too.

JJ ;J JJ

Dr. Moon - I think first of all that we are making a mistake. The Superintendent could be receiving $h5,000.00 ayear, instead of the amount that has been voted here which would be for him an increase of $7.,000.00. Are you stopping to think about the Board of Education would have had the difficulty to go into the situation of finding a superintendent; we would have probably been presented with many from all over the country to weed out and try to find somebody who was competent; we could have in haste made a mistake and got someone and then had to try still another. In this

case we have someone who is "true and tried". And here with this meager increase in the salary; there were those who said a $5,000 increase at that particular time; I hope that they have not so soon forgotten that, when the choice is made here. And I will tell you, I am sorry to see that our fine teachers or some part of them, I don't know how all of them feel because you can't always tell Just because you get a letter representing them; but the way I have found in life, that you don't climbly tearing down.

Mr. McCray - You have heard the statement and you have heard the second that we reduce | it to $13,000. Are there any other discussions? ' ■ Mrs. York - Mr. McCray, my comment is the same as it was in the Board Meeting; that when you have a company doing something for you and they have been doing it for a price, you don't turn around and say you deserve more money, because when they want more money they are going to come to you and say I can no longer do this service for you at "X" amount of dollars. I don't think we need to dole out money to people that are doing a service for us without we are asked. And then if they ask too much, then we can negotiate the price, but just to hand out raises every year to people like that, whether they deserve it or not, I don't think this school system should do it.

Mr. McCray - Then, Mrs. York, I must have been mistaken, I didn't know we had handed outanything toanybody. Any other remarks?

Mr. Estes - Yes, I am highly in favor of giving^the Hunsaker and Moak a larger increase because they have got the entire school district, all of the schools to go to two times a^year, sometimes three or four times a year. They go to the schools; they have to employ people; salaries are getting higher, as you see here today. They have to increase their employees' salaries; I think it should be raised more than what we raised them, a mere $1,000. I wanted to raise it more, and I still think that that firm is entitled, and I would say the same thing in behalf of the other firm if they were auditng all of the schools and the Food Service. That is only the position that I would take in it; I think that they are entitled to it, or any firm, of the two firms, I think that regardless of what firm it is, that this firm is putting in more time and is entitled to more money; the firm that audits all of the schools. -

A motion was made By Dr. Moon and seconded ..by Mr. Estes to approve the General Fund operating budget for the 1973-7^- school year in the amount of $37>17O>000.00. Motion carried unanimously on roll call. v '

All

Dr. Dillard - (1) Emergency School Assistance Act Grant - Reporting on follow-up on a -i previous report; I had previously indicated that we had not received confirmation or 1 denial of our Emergency School Assistance Act grant, and in reporting to the Board I indicated that we would be sending correspondence to our two United States Senators, Senator Bartlett and Senator Bellmon; to the Speaker of the House, Carl Albert; also, t we would send a letter to Dr. Herman Goldberg sincel. had earlier received correspond>■ ence from Dr. Goldberg in the U. S. Office; also to the Regional Office of HEW in ) Dallas. This information hasbeen sent. to. the Board but has not been previously j! reported orally at a board meeting. On August 8, I did send the correspondence to Dr. Goldberg. I indicated that "the Oklahoma City Public School District submitted ' an application for assistance under the Emergency School Assistance Act on April 25, J 1973• As of this date, we have received no official notification regarding the status of our proposal. It would be appreciated if you could advise us at an early date of the status of our application." Some interesting developments have taken place; communicating with the U. S. Office, the Regional Office, and telephone calls. The 'i day I had written a memo to the Board of Education summarizing and sending copies of 'j all this correspondence, that afternoon (August 9) I received a very attractive ) mimeographed letter from the Regional Office in Dallas - "Dear ESAA Grantee,.. This is to advise you that your grant is not included in the sample of ESAA grantees to be evaluated by the Office of Education in Washington"; signed by Mr. Sam Booker, Acting Program Manager. I did send a copy of this to the members of the Board; which would indicate to me that the Regional Office in Dallas has said in writing (and this g is the only thing we had in writing at that time and as of this time) that our grant was not forwarded to the U. S. Office in Washington, and no reason was given. j; Yesterday, I was out of the office; Assistant Superintendent, Dr. Tom Smith was in the :i office and received a telephone call from a representative of Senator Bartlett's :j office. There has been one additional telephone call since that time. Dr. Smith will give us a brief report as to the nature and content of the telephone conversations^; telephone conversations with a representative from Senator Bartlett's office, and also :■ a representative from the Regional Office of Education in Dallas. ;i Dr. Tom Smith - During the past few days we have received telephone calls from a number of individuals. Since the letters were written to our congressmen and to Dr. Goldberg, and to the Regional Office, we have had calls from Mrs. Alpert, Associate Coordinator for Regions 5 and 6. She was calling for Dr. Goldberg. We ihad received this ESAA grantee letter that Dr. Lillard referred to. I mentioned this letter to her (Mrs. Alpert). She indicated that/we should not have received that particular letter. On the same date, I received a call from Dr. Scott Tuxhorn in the Regional Office^in Dallas; he was calling as a result of a contact that he had received from’Senator Bartlett's office. The following morning I received a call from Dick Dennard in the Regional Office at Dallas as a follow-up of the Dr. Tuxhorn call. I also received a call the same day from Don Cogman*, the legal aid for Senator Bartlett, as the result of his call or contact back from Dr. Tuxhorn. I received another call from Dr. Tuxhorn the same day. Today,I received a call then, (i might say that all of these individuals indicated that their understanding was that the Office of Education in Dallas had approved our proposal and had forwarded it to Washington) that the Civil Rights Office had refused to give clearance, and that our grant could not be approved without the Civil Rights Office approval. As the result of Don Cogman's and Dr. Tuxhorn's calls, Miss Stuck, in the Regional Office of Civil Rights in Dallas, called today and indicated that they were confirming a conference for next week; representatives from their (Dallas) office are coming to Oklahoma City to visit with us about our application.

I | I I j j

! I j > |

Dr. Lillard - I would like to stress that nene of these telephone conversations with any representative from The Regional Office or Civil Rights Office will follow up with a letter stating the nature of their telephone conversation. The issue is

somewhat basic; it is very important. The Board approved the submission of a ESAA grant application to the Regional Office that was submitted in writing. We feel that grant should be approved or if is not approved, someone should tell us why in writing. We can't react to the telephone calls, two or three a day, someone saying, someone said, and here we have written information from the Regional Office saying the grant application was not even forwarded to the U. S. Office. Now we have a telephone call that said it was approved by the Regional Office and forwarded to the U. S. Office, but Civil Rights wouldn't give clearance.Now one basic point; every year since I have been superintendent, someone from the Office of Civil Rights has called saying, I am new in the Office of Civil Rights; I have the folder for the Oklahoma City School System, and I see no Civil Rights clearance or compliance form. My response has always been that we are under a Federal Court Order; we must comply with the

Federal Court Order; we are not required to have a compliance form on file. To the best of my knowledge, for the last six years all of our Title programs, Title I, ( cont' d


250

MEETING OF AUGUST 16, 1973 - CONT'D Title II, III, IV, have all heen approved. Usually the person calling will say, thank you very much, would you send us a copy of the Court Order. We send them a copy of the Court Order, and that is the last we hear until six months or a year later, I get another call saying, say, I am new with the Office of Civil Rights and I have Oklahoma City's folder and it doesn't contain a compliance form. Mr. Johnson has corresponded with these people and we have sent to them copies of our Federal Court Order and indicated that we must comply with the Court Order. We are not about to agree to, negotiate or anything else, anything that affects the assignment of any teacher or any pupil in this school system that relates to the integration of this school system; we are under a Federal Court Order. I don't know what Civil Rights is hammering at, but I think they should put it in writing, and probably they will, but this is basically what you and I have gone through the last six years on filing of these court orders and the Office of Civil Rights and such.

| Information to | the Board - cont'c I j | i ! i : ; > j *

Mr. Johnson - Their inquiries have ended when we advised them that we were under court order and we sent them a copy of the Order. The fact and a matter of law; we couldn't change if we wanted to; to conform to their requirements because we are under a court order not to make one change unless the Court approves it.

• j j i

Dr. Lillard - If someone from the Civil Rights Office comes in and says we will j approve your grant if you will do these things, the Oklahoma City Board of Education i is going to be the first one to know about any such proposal. So far we have nothing ! in writing from anyone. It is all telephone conversations. I don't see how this \ school district can be under a Federal Court Order, then be required to have Civil j Rights compliance, and the two may actually disagree - one require more of you than i the other, or even different approaches. I do stress that Dr. Smith has had these i telephone conversations; I have sent to you everything that we have received in ! writing; I find some confusion between the Regional Office and the U. S. Office. No I one has ever told us in writing that our grant is not being given or granted because | of lack of Civil Rights compliance, but that has been said over the telephone. j

j ■ !■■■■<

i

Mrs. York - I think it would have been for the betterment of this Board had they come to the hearing that day and seen the film when Gene Steiger and Mr. Pickle had the man from the Regional Office, that showed the film and told what qualifications we had to have, and the guidelines for applying for this particular grant. And I think still again that it would be to our benefit if we could get the same film and someone to present that to this Board, and we might see where we are lacking, because Just at the last Board Meeting I think there was a misunderstanding between Mr. English and I when I commented that it was designed primarily for the minority race. Well, it is, because you either have to be under a voluntary or a court order in order to qualify for this.

! ! ! j J j ■ \ j \

Mr. English - I disagree with you still.

Mr. English - Well, all the grant says, what our application says, that is all that I go on. Mrs. York - May I ask Mr. Pickle to comment on that; you had the film. right; you have to be under a court order?

Am I not

j

(Mr. Pickle'responded - This particular public law under Title VII was instituted to facilitate integration whether the school system is under a court order or a voluntary plan, either way. That is what the money*was appropriated for, and the emphasis is being placed, the program itself is to upgrade the reading achievement levels and the mathematics achievement levels, and self esteem. But in the context of an integrated budget, our grant, in response to it benefitting minority students, the grant that we submitted is actually going to benefit more nonminority than minority by virtue of the grant itself, because of the schools that they are placed in.)

*

Mrs. York - Mr. Pickle, I didn't ask you about the grant we asked for, I am asking you about the film that they brought here, the guidelines that we have to have in order to be able to get the grant. I remember the film very distincly and if you don't, I suggest that this Board get it back and look at it again. Because I have read everything that I can get my fingers on about it; it is in the School Board Journal, and there it says that it is designed primarily for the minority race and to promote integration in the schools; and only those who were under a court order or on a voluntary program could qualify.

j s j

Dr. Lillard - I would like to comment here, too, that we brought this proposal to the Board because we need every dollar we can get to improve our instructional programs, j and all of this was explained to the Board, and it was my recommendation that we submit such a grant, and my understanding was that we were under a Federal Court Order |

and that we wouldn't run into these complications of the Office of Civil Rights and all these telephone calls, and no one wanting to put anything in writing. I believe that if the funds are available, under the circumstances that we applied for the grant, then we would be foolish not to avail ourselves of all the financial resources that are available. My basic point in bringing this up for the second time is that with all these numerous telephone calls and a limited amount of correspondence, I want

Mr. English - Mr. Chairman, in order to get this out on the table where we can "maybe i have a little meat to chew on," I would move that the Board, recognizing the 1 importance of the tax-supported head start program in supplementing the public schools'! efforts to educate children, instruct the Superintendent or his designated representa-I tive to negotiate with the Discovery Head.Start Child Development Center for use of l rooms in the Riverside Elementary School; said agreement to require the Center to ] pay the added cost of utilities, maintenance, and custodial care in the amount of ; $75-00 per month to the School District; and the agreement and operation to be | evaluated by. the Administrative Staff in 197^- for consideration by this Board. * Dr. Moon - I would like to second your motion, Mr. English; only why do you stipulate j that amount of money; why don't you let the Superintendent; if they are going to look j into the matter, then let them tell us how much it ought to be on the money. i

Mrs. York - That's not his motion, Dr. Moon.

It would have to be rephrased.

Dr. Moon - If he would leave out those stipulations as to how much money because if they go and check it at all, they will come up with that part of it, but the other part I think would fit it so far as my thinking is concerned.

Dr. Moon - I don't know, if these people live in the same area as Riverside, if we can provide and render a service to that community, that we would do it, but at the same time, the group take care of the expense so it (their use) is not costing the Board of Education.

s | | |

Mr. Estes - Is that your motion; let the Administration advise us the cost and recommendations? Is that correct?

Mr. English - My motion is that the Superintendent negotiate with the Child Development Center, but that the price is set at $75-00. Now there will be some other things to negotiate, I would imagine, such as for one thing, how many rooms. It sets no number on the number of rooms, but at $75-00 per month.

R. #408 Motion Re Moving of DiscoveryHead Start Child Development Center into Riverside Elem. School Bldg. cont'd

Dr. Lillard - These are the things you have to talk about before you make a decision; not Jump to an agreement. We have troubles., providing a noon meal for 40^S per pupil. If they provide a meal and two snacks fon 37^ are they providing their own food service? These are things that you have to talk about; you can't be charging your own pupils 400 per pupil for lunch and providing it for a lesser amount for someone else. Mr. Estes - How do you handle your lunch, Mrs. Smart? program?

How do you handle your lunch

Mr. Knight - Mr. President, I don't think that was a part of the motion to deal with____ , was it? Mr. Estes - It enters into it.

Mr. English - No, I didn't mention the food thing. Administration wanted to negotiate it that way.

If we could, you know, if the

Dr. Krob - Has the motion been seconded?

Mr. McCray - I haven't heard a second yet.

I

Mr. Knight - I did (second). Dr. Krob - I would move that we table this motion.

J

Mrs. York - I will second that, for further study.

Dr. Krob - And I would like to make a substitute motion after we vote on it. Mr. English - What is your substitute motion, then I will know whether to vote for your tabling motion.

Dr. Krob - I think the Board would look with favor if the details can be worked out on this situation. I realize that there is a certain amount of urgency as far as the kids are concerned, and as far as probably their staff is concerned. But on the other hand, "an agreement is an agreement," and we don't want to get into something that the Board can't abide or that the patrons can't live with. I don't think it would take too long to get a study made on this thing and get a report back to us.

j f! | j !

- !{

§ !

Mr. English - Let me suggest maybe that Just simply an amendment to my motion would be that they would negotiate with the Discovery Head Start Child Development Center. Dr. Krob - I think in the final analysis it should still come back to the Board. The Administration may say we need $150.00 per month per room. We may want to cut that down for them; we may want to help them.

Mr. English - When I say negotiate, any agreement, I assume, for use of a building, one of our buildings, has to be approved by this Board. Anything that they negotiated would not be final until this Board had* acted on it.

Dr. Krob - If-the Administration is negotiating, they may not negotiate beyond a certain point. Mr. McCray Âť You are asking the Superintendent to make a report back to the Board. Your motion to table is now before the Board, and we are going to vote on the motion to table Mr. English's motion. Would you call the roll. Mr. Estes - I don't know if I understand it. Mirs. York - All we are asking for is to study this.

Mr. Estes - Before I vote, how soon do you have to know, Mrs. Smart? have to get your equipment out of there?

When do you

Mrs. Smart - We have to be out by September 1.

Mr. Estes - Well, that will give us time. Mr. McCray - We are in the process of voting (on the motion to table). will you call the roll again, starting with Mr. English.

Mr. Ginn,

Voting "Aye" - Dr. Krob, Dr. Moon, Mirs. York, and Mir. McCray. Voting "Nay" Mr. English, Mir. Estes, and Mir. Knight. The motion to table carried.

Mirs. York - May I say something before we do that. Because I voted to table this, does not mean that I am against Discovery coming into the school; but in our Agenda, and I think we have instructed our Superintendent to do this many times in the memo that he sends to us, to look for the pitfalls and the things that we are going to vote on, and some of the things that he has mentioned here, is what if two or three agencies want in the same neighborhood, and request the same space in the school; and who is responsible for the pupils in that building, and what are the legal questions. I would like some of the answers to these questions that he has brought (cont'd)


MEETING OF AUGUST 16, 1973 - CONT'D

up which I now question. I want these children to have a place to go to school, and. I think it is a wonderful thing that they are providing for them, and if we can possibly do it, I think it would be fine td have it in Riverside. But if we have to double up our rooms for our pupils to give that amount of space, then I think that we could possibly help them find another place. So I am not opposed to it'.

Mrs. York cont'd

Dr. Krob - Mr. Chairman, I. would move that the Superintendent and staff be instructed to investigate this matter from all aspects and report back to the Beard as soon as possible with recommendations and then let the Board take action on: it.

R. #14-09 Administrative Staff Instructed to Investigate the Moving of Discovery Head Start Program into Riverside Elementary School

Mr. Estes - Second the motion. Mr. English - Could we throw in a little amendment that says, the Board favors in principle the idea of the Head Start Program? Dr. Krob - I am in favor of it; I think everyone else is.

Mr. English - Woudl that be alright to throw that in; would you accept an amendment to that effect, and that the Board favors in principle; I would like for it to be very clear. Dr. Krob - I would include it in the motion.

I would include this in the motion.

Mr. English - Could we have the motion read now so we can vote on it? Mr. Ginn read the motion with the suggested amendment added. Voting "Aye" - All members of the Board.

The motion carried unanimously.

Mr. Knight - Is it legally possible to poll the Board when this is done? official meeting of this Board will be September 3-

The next

Dr. Lillard - It is not legally binding, but you can poll the Board; we have done this, indicating that this is what you plan to recommend or act on in the next official meeting, or you can have a special meeting. Dr. Krob - It might be possible that the Carmelite Order might give you a five day extension.

Dr. Moon - I think in response to Mr. Knight, that we will all be honorable people. If we agree over the telephone that we are going to support it; when we come here, we will. WRITTEN PETITIONS AND COMMUNICATIONS

Mr. McCray inquired regarding written petitions and/or communications.

Dr. Lillard - Yes, I have, dated August 10, 1973; from The Black Dispatch Publishing Company, to the President of the Board but to the Bo,ard - "Gentlemen: As you know, Moses F. Miller, veteran coach and administrator in the Oklahoma City School System for many years, retired following the 1972-73 school year. Friends, former players, fans, alumni of~-Douglass High School and community people in general would like to pay tribute to this great educator and hero to countless numbers of young black men by renaming the stadium at Douglass High School for him as one small tribute for his many years of devotion and service. We would like permission to present to the Board of Education of Oklahoma City a petition bearing signatures of responsible citizens of our community who concur with our desire. In presenting this, we have the endorsement and blessing of the present principal of Douglass High School, Jake Diggs. It would be most appreciated if we could at your nearest convenience present to you this petition along with any other information needed for your action in this matter. Your immediate reply would be appreciated. Respectfully yours, Russell Perry, Editor, and Leonardo DeBose, Director, Council of Resocialization for Ex-Offenders." Mr. McCray - The information that is contained in the request certainly can be taken under consideration and reported back to the Board and taken up on our first meeting in September. NEW BUSINESS

Mr. Knight - We will at some time the question that I raised in our one way or the other; the budgets the proposals or whatever it is. other budgets that we operate on.

or another, deal with the other budget or, this is pre-meeting and I didn't know if I got an answer around the Food Service and the Federal Programs, We approved the General Fund budget but we also have

Mr. McCray - Mr. Knight, it was mentioned why we do not approve the Title I budget; also, why we do not approve the cafeteria budget.

Dr. Lillard - To the best of my knowledge, the Board has given permission in the past for the staff to make application for the Title I programs, and others, also, to the best of my knowledge, to submit an appropriate budget. Mr. Ginn, has the Board ever reacted directly to a cafeteria budget? Can you really call that a budget in that (Central Food Service) area? (cont'd)

Mr. Knight - During this past year we subsidized it (Central Food Service Account) $57,000.00, and we need to be conscious of what might be the possibility there so that as you get into the spending process you don't find yourself_____ , and I am aware that you will keep us informed of that, but I also think the Board ought to be aware ahead of time.

y

;j 1

Dr. Krob - We do need to come to a decision; in my opinion, whether or not the Board i will subsidize the Central Food Service or whether it should be self supporting. With the announcement that was made a while ago, I would feel that in the survey that jj is coming up, I would feel that there may be some innovative changes in Central Food j| Service. It is a bad time for changes, but changes are going to have to come about.

Mr. English - I am going to file with the Clerk of theBoard at this time, a stateij ment along with an IRS photocopy of my 1972 income tax to be on file for review by S anyone who wants to look at it. I am prompted to take this action by the public ji attitude toward public officials as the result of the Watergate scandal, and by my ji longtime belief that public officials should make a full disclosure to the public ij of their financial affairs. Now that I am a public official, I must do what I believed in the past that other public officials Should do. For me to do otherwise would be hypocritical. Now other board members may not want to make their tax return ii public; nothing sinister should be read into such decision. I personally am confidentij that each member of this Board is honest and above corruption. Certainly, in America, ji honorable people must have the freedom to have philosophical differences without jj having their integrity impugned or their motives questioned. Therefore, I will later ji file this with the Clerk for our records. (Copy, as submitted, in Clerk's file.) ;j

UNFINISHED BUSINESS R. #410 Motion Granting Lana Tyree Permission to Address the Board

j i i

■:

;i

Mr. Knight - My understanding is, Food Service could be one issue and the others would be the other, but my understanding is that by federal law or title regulation or executive order, the Board must in fact approve those programs annually, approve the submission of those; and maybe you all did before February 5> I wasn’t here, but I haven't seen them and I think that it would be advisable for us to.

Mr. Knight - But the law requires that this Board approve those annually, I think. j i

jj ij ji

Mr. Ginn - In the Central Food. Service Department, the percentages that we project are based, on our past experience; the funds which we will be estimating for a new school year. In regard to federal programs, those programs changing from "project to project"; the guidelines of each program require that specific expenditures be made, and we budget the funds received according to the guidelines for those- programs.

i

Mrs. York - Relating back to the Shirley Nero case, I was approached by the Attorney, ji Lana Tyree, and she had mentioned to me that this Board had said that they would !j cooperate with her in getting all the information she needed, and that I believe we jj instructed the staff to cooperate with her, and she had indicated to me. coming down jj the hall today that this had not been done; that there have been several things that jj she could not get done through the Administration or staff, and she asked if she h could come before the Board and was rejected, I assume, or this is what she told me. jj So under the circumstances that she was promised some of these things and has not i received them, I would move that we let Miss Tyree come and address the Board for lessjj than 5 minutes. y Mr. McCray - To clarify the matter, Miss Tyree approached me and asked me about speaking to the Board, and I reminded her of the policy of the Board that required a 48-hour before the Board Meeting request before we would hear anyone. So that is the policy of the Board. Now, may we react to Mrs. York's motion.

jj

Dr. Krob - Mr. Chairman, may I address a question to Mr. Johnson?

i

Dr. Moon - I was going to second; is this the one that was discharged? I think that if some facts that she needs and she doesn't have; I am willing to do anything to help the woman to get her job.

R. #410 Motion Granting Lana Tyree Permission to Address the Board - cont'd

Mr. Johnson - No, this is the first time that I have heard, of it.

Dr. Krob - She has made no request to you? Mr. Johnson - No.

'

Dr. Krob - Would this he normal procedures? Mr. Johnson - Possibly so, if the Board or the Administration refused to provide her with any information, the Professional Practices Commission has subpoena power and they could subpoena whatever they want.

Dr. Moon - If we would let her talk, we would find out what she wants.

Mrs. York - I think this would come as not as someone coming before the Board to speak, ! but it would come under just that, it would come under Unfinished Business, and that right now we are going to Court like Saturday. How can we find out what is on her mind? She could subpoena everyone of us to be there, and we could be there Saturday morning at 9:30. Dr. Moon - I am going to second Mrs. York's motion. Mr. McCray - The motion has been made and seconded that we let Miss Tyree appear before the Board no longer than five minutes, would you call the roll.

I S I

Mr. English - Well, I am going to vote "yes" on this little deal, because I just like for everybody to get a chance to speak to the Board; but I don't really go along with our 48-hour deal, but I would like to make it clear, it's not Just because she has a pretty face that I am voting for it.

Mr. Knight - Mr. President, I raise the question as to if we established that the majority of this Board, I didn't vote for it but I abide by what the majority goes along with, that we sit here and then turn around and do it over again; I am saying that in fact there is no policy. I would like to know whether or not we are going to have one or not going to have one. This has nothing to do with whether we want to hear Miss Tyree or anybody else. Mr. Estes - This is under Unfinished Business; this has come before the Board before, and the lady appeared and apparently she has got something that might be helpful to this Board in determining whether she wants to go on with this lawsuit or not. It does pertain to this Board as Unfinished Business, plus I think she is. pretty.

i i

Mr. McCray - In fairness in the situation as President of the Board, I would have to relate that this is not a usual request so far as speaking time; that there has to be something that has been done that does bear looking into. Let's have the reaction of the Board. Mr. Knight - I am dealing with the issue that we are on today and off tomorrow. On roll call, six members voted "Aye"; Mr. Knight abstained. Mr. McCray asked Miss Tyree to come to the microphone.

Miss Tyree spoke regarding a hearing before the Professional Practices Commission which her client had requested; the hearing before the Commission being continued until Saturday, August 18, 1973; Attorney Larry French representing the Board before the Commission; Mrs. Noree Clegg, a witness in the hearing before the Board of Education; and Mrs. Clegg's hesitancy, refusing correspondence, phone calls, et al, to appear before the Commission. After discussion and remarks by members of the Board, Mr. Knight stated:

Mr. Knight - I would, in essence of time, move that we encourage anybody related that should be, to appear with the understanding that they would certainly not be jeopardizing their position with the school system. Mrs. York - And I would second that motion. Mr. Knight - I would strongly underline ENCOURAGE.

R. #411 Re Appearance of Personnel in Hearing before Professional Practices Commission

On roll call, all members voted "Aye". Mr. Knight - Mr. President, I would like to make one statement. I cast a vote here earlier in the meeting which to me was a very difficult, probably the most difficult vote that I have had to make since I have been a member of this Board, and there were statements made by some of the rest of the Board Members indicating that maybe it was taken out of context. I want it to be perfectly clear that I support our Superintendent, and I made my statement to that effect that I feel privileged that we have him, and that I want to serve with him. My reason, I tried to state beforehand, was strictly a statement that here we told people certain kinds of things and I felt that we ought to be consistent and equitable in the way we dealt with it. So I wanted that to be very very clear.

MINUTES OF PREVIOUS MEETING

R. #413 Minutes Approved

A motion was made by Mr. Knight and seconded by Dr. Moon to approve the minutes of August 16, 1973, as presented. All members voted "Aye" on roll call. LEGAL AND FINANCIAL REPORTS Mr. Johnson - (Shirley Nero Case) - The development that has occurred since the last meeting of the Board of Education is, a hearing was held in the Nero case by the Professional Practices Commission; the Commission recommended that Miss Nero be reinstated. The matter now goes before the State Board of Education, a hearing set for September 18, 1973-

Attorney's Report

Mrs. York inquired regarding the necessity for hearings before the Commission and the State Board.

Mr. Johnson - The law provides that it must first go to the Professional Practices Commission, then before the State Board. The request for a hearing before the State Board must be made by the teacher regardless of the outcome of the hearing before the Professional Practices Commission.

Mrs. York - If this Board so desired, could they reinstate Miss Nero now without going back before the State Board; going before the State Board 2

I

Mr. Johnson - There is nothing in the law to preclude the Board from hiring her.

!

Mrs. York - I would like to make a motion that this Board consider what the Profession- j al Practices Commission has said, and reinstate Miss Nero.

! ! i i

Mr. McCray - Mrs. York, don't you think it would be out of place since the fact that she has already made the request to go before the State Board? Mrs. York - I really don't. This is a tremendous expense to the teacher, one that I think that they shouldn't have to do. The recommendation did come back from our educators that we should reinstate the woman. I think it is our duty to at least consider. I would have my motion stand. '

Dr. Moon - I would second the motion.

Mr. McCray - The motion was made by Mrs. York to reinstate Miss Nero, and seconded by Dr. Moon.

On roll call, voting "Aye" - Dr. Moon and Mrs. York. Voting "Nay" - Mr. English, Mr. Estes, Mr. Knight, Dr. Krob, and Mr. McCray. Mr. McCray declared that the motion failed. Dr. Moon - Just one question before he begins, Mr. President, if the State Board of Education to which the appeal is made, they recommend it, then is it mandatory that we accept? Dr. Lillard - If the State Board recommends that the teacher be reinstated, the local

Board of Education must reinstate the teacher only for that succeeding year.

Mr. Johnson - It is subject to further appeal through district court under the Administrative Procedures Act; either party can appeal from the decision of the State Board of Education.

treasurer's | Report_____ ______ [ !

[

I

Mr. Thomas B. Walsh reported for the firm,of Thomas and Company; and Mr. K. D. Elswick reported for the firm of Moak, Nurfeaker and Rouse. Each made a routine report. Mr. Elswick responded to questions and comments "by members of the Board. Mr. Green made a routine report and responded to questions and comments by members of the Board. Mr. English - How much do we keep on hand in the General Fund; what is that minimum balance? Mr. Green - Four and one-half million.

Mr. English - Uninvested? Mr. Green - Yes, that's right. meeting.

The Board passed that as a resolution at an earlier

Mr. English - Could we possibly invest below that $4^- million? Mr. Green - Are you thinking about not maintaining a $4|- million reserve?

Mr. English - Correct. Mrâ– Green - I think that it is something that the Board might take under advisement or consideration for the next year. The cash will move out now so fast that it hardly would be worthwhile I would think now (currently).

Mr. Knight - Is it possible to operate on less than $4^- million; would $3'i million be feasible?

5

Mr. Green - Within 24 hours we can get the money that we have invested. I .think we might consider reducing the amount. I don't think it would be out of order. Mr. Knight - I was wondering if the figure $3^- million is enough?

Mr. Green - I think we might get by with it. ?. #415 fotion Re Investment of Funds

Mr. Knight - I would like to move that we change our policy from $4|- million to $3^ million (authorize the Treasurer to invest General Fund cash on hand at’any time, in excess of $3,500,000.00). Mr. McCray - The Treasurer did make the recommendation that we wait until next year to try this. I think if we made a motion, then we limit him to something that he can' t do at all. i i

Mr. Knight - If I understood correctly, I assumed he meant because of our cash position, we wouldn't be doing it (making additional investments at this time) because we won't be in that position. I am only stating it so that we pass on it as a policy so that when it does, the time does com,e, we don't have to then say we sat for a month or two and didn't earn the income that we could have earned. Mr. English -J will second his motion.

Mr. Estes - I would like to make an amendment to his motion. I would like to amend the motion that we leave it.to the discretion of oi.r Treasurer, that's what we have got him for, to invest this surplus money as often as we have sufficient money to invest, and depending upon the amount of money that he has or we have on deposit, and the amount of money that our personnel, Business Office, deems necessary for us to operate our school system. Then, in this way, it would leave it up to him as we have in the past, to invest this money and as much of it as we possibly can to earn the interest without putting a certain amount on it. Mr. Knight - I think that in view of the fact of the size of the operation, that it is a public body here, that if it were a private organization, I wouldn't question that at all, but since it isn't, I would think that this group needs to establish a policy with a limit so that doesn't get below that. Mr. Estes - I don't want to set a certain amount below what the Administration originally recommended that we have to keep. This way, my amendment to your motion takes care of and makes it possible for him to go ahead and invest any surplus money that he deems is available. Mr. Knight - Even if it went below $3|r million? Mr. Estes - Yes. more money.

We are too far near the end of the year to attempt to invest any

Mr. Knight - He stated to us that we would need to carry a balance of about $3 million there to be fluid and cover the warrants that were coming. Mr. Estes - I would make that as a substitute motion, Mr. President.


262

MEETING OF SEPTEMBER 4, 1973 - CONT'D

Mr. Green - The law itself states that the Board shall determine what the surplus is, and that the Treasurer will invest all above that. Dr. Lillard - What Mr. Green is saying is that the guidelines should be established by the Board. He will operate within that framework after the Board adopts the policy. Again, what you are saying, Mr. Green, is that the question will be moot for the next several weeks or months. We are not going to have $3^ million to invest.

i h

Mr. Green - Yes, absolutely.

!

Mr. Knight - I think that in terms of managing the cash flow, we got money sooner than I we thought, than we did last year, and this kind of a situation can occur. ( !

Mr. Estes - My amendment makes it possible for him to invest any additional money that j he deems necessary or appropriate. i

Mr. Knight - Well, it is just that we have to set the limit for him. Mr. Estes - We set the limit at $4# million. Mr. Knight - Let's set it at $3-5 million. Dr. Krob - I take it from what Mr. Green has said, he doesn't necessarily want the responsibility of setting it himself.

Mr. Green - It's the Board's responsibility to set the amount. Mr. Estes - Do you think that we can reduce that $4|- million down to $3# million and have ample funds to operate the school system?

Mr. Green - Yes, I think so.

Mr. McCray - Are you withdrawing your amendment, Mr. Estes?

Mr. Estes - I will withdraw my amendment.

Mr. McCray - Any other questions on the motion by Mr. Knight?

Would you call the roll?

MEETING OF SEPTEMBER 4, 1973 - CONT'D School Lunch Prices for 1973-74 School Year

! Dr. Lillard - I have sent additional information to members of the Board that would i indicate that the Oklahoma City School System did not, and I emphasize not, increase

| the prices of school lunches last year. It became necessary to subsidize the Central Food Service Account approximately $57,000.00. With the spiraling increase in the cost of food, the labor going up and such, all of these items; we cannot predict the degree of participation in the school lunch program; I am recommending that the plate I lunches for elementary and fifth year centers be increased at the earliest convenience i that it could be implemented, from 400 to 450; the middle and high school plate lunches | be increased from 500 to 550J and a la carte items which primarily are utilized by the | middle and high school students, be adjusted per an attached separate list that I did | send to the members of the Board. To expect us to serve meat and a vegetable and i drink for 40$z$ or 450 is the almost impossible task. j | ; | | i 1 I

R. #418 Increase in Lunch Prices Approved

ij -j ■! ■;

■,

We can never estimate fully the amount of subsidy that we will receive from the United States Department of Agriculture. The subsidy for milk has been done away with by the United States Department of Agriculture. The milk that is included with the plate lunch would still be included in the plate lunch price. Last year where we could sell a half-pint of milk for 30; this year milk now costs the school district 8-56. ; For a half-pint of milk, not included with the plate lunch but additional servings or a la carte, we would have to charge at least 100.

'

But Oklahoma City is not unique; we have practically the same problems with Food Service that every other school system in the nation has. If we did not increase our prices of lunches, and certain a la carte items, we could expect a deficit of approxi- j mately $180,000.00 in the Central Food Service Account by the end of the year. We are d

hopeful that by increasing the price of lunches, and I am talking about the plate lunch 50; that we can raise approximately $220,000.00.

Questions that should be discussed are - am I recommending a large enough increase; if we increase the price too much if we will have the participation to raise the additional money that we hope to raise? We recognize the pressures on families that have one, two, three, four or five children; those that are working to pay for their lunches, doing the best they can; that even a nickel increase is a very difficult adjustment for many families. The school system must operate its Central Food Service; it is obviously a nonprofit organization, but I don't see how we can operate with a deficit. I don't think the school district should get into a habit of subsidizing Central Food Service. The taxpayer's dollar that goes to a school system should be

■; h ;! ■■ ,i

,!

;i

used primarily for the educational programs. If we would undertake to use the j taxpayer's dollar to actually feed all of our pupils, then we will have fewer dollars to spend on educational programs. As difficult as it is to make such a recommendation,j I think the Board should attack this problem head-on and give serious consideration to t

the increases that I am recommending. ■ Dr. Lillard responded to questions and comments by members of the Board.

Dr. Moon - I think that this matter of increase is very obvious. This increase, it seems to me, is absolutely necessary. I move that the recommendation be approved.

Discussion continued between Dr. Lillard and members of the Board. Mr. McCray - Do I hear a second to Dr. Moon's motion to accept the recommendation?

Dr. Krob - I would like to make a substitute motion and find out if I am alone. \ Mr. Estes - I would like to ask a question. I realize that it should be a second to his motion, but I wanted to get my question in before I even thought about seconding it.

j! ii

Mr. McCray - Under the circumstances, Mr. Estes, go ahead.

•;

Mr. Estes inquired regarding the breakfasts that are served in the schools and the cost involved. Mr. Ginn responded. Mr. Estes, following additional comments, stated, "I think we have people in this Administration to advise us what is the proper thing to do, and I am sure that they have analyzed this, and have made their recommendations to Dr. Lillard, and in turn Dr. Lillard is making his recommendation to us. We are all like Dr. Moon; we feel like that it's a necessary evil, and I am going to second Dr. Moon's motion."

year; you are talking primarily of food, costs and. labor. Therefore, in view of the ; fact, I think, that it is unpredictable as to what this increase will do; I would. j move to amend. Dr. Moon's motion to, at least, in the middle and high schools, increasej the thing 100 instead of 50* !

On roll call to the motion, all members voted "Aye". Mrs. York - The Board did not consider when this would begin. May I that the Board recommend that this not begin until the 15th, because paid like on the 1st and 15th, and maybe they have already had their have so much laid aside for their lunches. So I feel that we should until the 15th, so parents can make preparations for this increase.

recommend or ask most people are budget; they not start this

Dr. Lillard - We were planning toward the following Monday; I was thinking in terms of September 10th. That would give us until the following Monday to get the appropriate communication to the principals. We would begin on the 10th. The 15th would be the following Friday. The problem is that each day you wait you just compound the problem a little more.

â– ; j

j

Dr. Lillard - Item 5 listed in the Agenda has been discussed in other comments that | School Lunch have been made here today. I will ask Mr. Shepard to come forward at this time to | Management make additional comments. Per previous discussion of the Oklahoma City Board of . | Survey Education, we have two firms to indicate an interest in conducting a school lunch j management survey for this school system; a third firm has indicated that they are i interested in submitting a proposal but it would be approximately September 10 before i they could submit such a proposal to the Oklahoma City School System. I have indicat- | ed to the Board that it would be best for us to receive all three proposals; have the J staff evaluate the proposals; then have the staff make a recommendation. I am hopefuli that part of the discussion the Board might have on the item would give us some \ information, because the firms ask how detailed, how comprehensive of a survey does | this Board want. One firm did indicate that for $98,000.00 they could do a rather I comprehensive survey. Mr. Shepard, will you very briefly mention some of the I questions that have been discussed? I i

' h

!

Mr. Shepard - We have contacted or been contacted by three firms - Mr. H. G. Rice i and Associates out of Dallas, Texas; Saga Food Service, and the third, Arthur Young ! and Company of Oklahoma City. As I have talked with each of the representatives from i these three firms, we have indicated or given them the basic information that they \ have asked for in terms of the type of operation that we have. We have supplied j some information. They have asked regarding our basic goals, and some of the things ' that we are trying to determine; whether or.not we want to continue to have a i cafeteria in every school regardless of the participation, or regardless of the size | of the school. We have tried to respond and give some idea or some, at least, real ; broad range of guidelines of things we would like for them to look at. Currently, \ two of the three firms have responded, an interim or a basic proposal. A third i proposal will be on the 10th (September 10, 1973)- At that time we will look at each j of the companies and see what they have to offer; make some determinations as to more ! firm guidelines that we might wish to offer, and then hopefully make some evaluations. | We have tried to stay with the companies that have had some experience in management; i experience in administration; and also some experience in the Food Service line as | opposed to strictly management consultants. One of*, the criteria would be that they j have had some experience in Central Food Service or Food Service organization. Mr. Shepard responded to questions and comments by members of the Board which includedi experience of firms so named; charges in terms of price or fee; the recommendations i that would be asked of the companies; the need for outside help or the use of- inside , personnel; the necessity for setting guidelines; the possibility of improvements ! gained from the results of a survey; the necessity of a firm to show the success of i its services at some other place; the possible need to look into meal planning, and â– other. " ! Following the discussion, Mr. McCray stated, "If I reflect the consensus of the opinions of the Board, Dr. Lillard, it would be that to continue to check with these firms and have them tell us what needs to be done in a way of a survey and come back with a price and a recommendation to the Board, and we won't commit ourselves until that comes back."

t;

J | < | |

i ii | | |

Dr. Krob - I have all the confidence in our staff, but I think that they have fulltime positions. There might be a possibility that a survey would be of interest. To me, if we had a business manager, a person that had business experience along with some food management service, as a director of Central Food Service, then he might be able to in that year or so, might be able to come up with innovative ideas. Maybe we don't need to have as many plate lunches as we are serving, those that are required ' in federal regulations. If the majority of the kids would rather have a hamburger and a sack of potato chips or french fries, let them have what they want. Basically, I think that a survey is going to come up with a price increase, and the Board is not going to look with favor upon a greater price increase as time goes on. If the survey would indicate that we ought to increase it at least 150., what kind of response would you get from the Board? These are some of the things that we need to be thinking about, I think. j

Correspondence from HEW Regional Office, Dallas, Texas, concerning ESAA Application

■! Dr. Lillard - I have sent members of the Board correspondence received August 24, 1973;! from the Department of Health, Education and Welfare, the Regional Office in Dallas, Texas, and they do indicate that (in regard) our Emergency School Assistance Act j application, they have determined that we were ineligible, and the .reason that we were ineligible is the failure of the district to comply with the faculty assignment provisions of its court order in firm legal standard, and with the faculty assignment 1 provisions of the Act in implementing the regulations; that the district is not ;• fully implementing the faculty assignment provisions of its court order and current legal standards in that two high schools, Northeast and Douglass, have racially ■; identifiable faculties. This is tie opinion of the Regional Office in Dallas, the Civil Rights division there. I think there are two basic questions being raised. Some of this is repetitious. It's ironic that ESAA funds are provided to assist the school district that is implementing a federal court order; that the Office of Education feels that we should be given the grant; the Office of Civil Rights feels that we should not be given the j grant. We have always been under the impression that if you were implementing a !j federal court order, then that in itself was in compliance with Civil Rights. That : has always been the history and tradition Of this school system, and to the best of ■:} my knowledge, all other school systems. ;i The second point I had to make is that it is interesting to me that people from Civil i Rights could come into Oklahoma City on August 20 when school is not in session; when f all faculty assignments have not been completed; while there are vacancies on the fac- ■ ulties of these two high schools, and in their opinion state we are not in compliance j with Civil Rights Act. I did send members of the Board of Education a copy of a court order, the United ;i States Court of Appeals from the District of Columbia Circuit, a three-man federal j! panel, issued an opinion somewhat on a similar situation, and I'll paraphrase some ) of these comments - our indication is that we are complying with the. federal court ) order in good faith, and that the federal court has never raised these questions or ji these issues. And in this opinion given by a three-member panel federal court in the il District of Columbia, Congress by statute declared the compliance by a school district j' with a court order to desegregate is to be deemed compliance with Title VI. Congress ( has said if you are complying with the federal court order, then you are in compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act.HEW has no obligation to effectuate Title VI ii until the court issuing such an order has made a finding of noncompliance. This is b a three-member panel federal court making this statement. The responsibility for 0 compliance rests upon the court. And our (District) court, last May 15> did call an \ item to the attention of this Board; the Board in good faith met and attempted to \ solve this -problem, and I think the court approved what the Board of Education q submitted to thecourt. j! \

.

h

■>

;

Mr. Johnson - No, that court opinion is consistent with the position that we have taken all along, that we are subject to a court order and we are not subject to an order of HEW to change any racial composition of the faculties or the schools; thus, it really is consistent with what we have been saying all along.

|. |

stration proceed and report back to the Board.

We submitted reportsto the court Last November and last May 1; none of these questions have been raised by the court to which we are responsible. They indicated in this opinion that it is difficult to find any legal basis for the imposition upon HEW of a monitoring duty in a court-ordered desegregation district. This is a problem that confronts this school system. I would like to ask our Attorney if we are under a federal court order and we have not been found in noncompliance by that court, are we subject to HEW's interpretation of what it takes to comply with Civil Rights?

!

>

Dr. Lillard - As I had indicated to members of the Board, people from Civil Rights came to us and proposed, if you will negotiate with us (HEW) the staffing assignments at Northeast and Douglass, we will say that you are in compliance. My response was that no member of this staff, and I certainly didn't think an individual member of the Board, would agree to negotiating the assignment of any staff member because of race since we are under a federal court order. We could actually be in conflict with the existing federal court order. This is a very basic, a very important point. As they indicate in the correspondence, you are welcome to apply for a waiver; in fact they imply, that if you apply for a waiver they will probably grant it. But as you will remember, the press release indicated that if you apply for a waiver, then you must submit a plan of compliance to HEW. How can you submit a plan of compliance on two high schools with HEW when the federal court order has told you what your staff allocation will be? And again, the very court opinion here indicates that HEW doesn't have the responsibility for monitoring implementation of a court order, and (cont'd)

Dr. Lillard - I really don't know.

i--------------------------------------------

Our Senators, our Speaker of the House, our Congressmen from this district have been most helpful. I have only professional and personal respect and admiration for Dr. Herman Goldberg of the U. S. Office of Education. It is not Dr. Goldberg who has denied us this ESAA grant; it's the Civil Rights which is the legal enforcement arm of Health, Education and Welfare. Dr. Goldberg would like to have approved the grant, and has said so in a telephone conversation. I would think it would be to our advantage to either have our Attorney or Superintendent or someone contact the Office of Civil Rights, the Regional Office in Dallas, raise these two basic points; we are under a federal court order, and then also how can they determine this on August 20 before the school year even began. By the same token I would like to share this same information with our Senators, with the Speaker of the House, the Honorable Carl Albert, and with Congressman Jarman. I believe an injustice is being imposed on this school district. I am not certain you ever win a battle with HEW, but you have to stand for certain principles and we could agree to something and they could come back next week and say, that's fine, but now next month we want you to do this. I And I think again, we are implementing a court order in good faith, and for us to negotiate with HEW or enter into any agreement of any kind with HEW, in my opinion, is inconsistent with the federal court order that we are implementing at the present time.

Dr. Krob - Is there a possibility that the Court might be able to help us in this respect?

â– i

;Information to I the Board - cont'

Mr. Johnson might be able to respond.

i j | i

|

Mr. Johnson - I can't say with any definiteness about what reaction the Court would

have. My impression is that in the past that Judge Bohanon has encouraged us to seek all the federal help we could to help desegregate or to integrate the school system. . I would have to think of some way to present it to Judge Bohanon; I don't know if there is anything that he could do about it. I would be glad to explore it and see if there is some way that we could present the matter to Judge Bohanon.

| i ; | j |

Mr. Estes - Dr. Lillard, why couldn't you or why wouldn't it be advisable that you go to Dallas; you are in an excellent position to present our case before the Regional Office; go and present our case for us, and then we could go from there (Dallas) to Washington to try to get this taken care of up there.

I j | |

Dr. Lillard - I would like to raise this issue with the Regional Office in Dallas, that our understanding is that while we are implementing a court order, that this provision of the Civil Rights Act is not applicable to this school system; raise that basic issue and, again, the other issue of how can they say you are in noncompliance on August 20 when the school year hasn't even begun.

Dr. Moon - Mr. President, I am going to have to leave the meeting as I have explained.| I think it is well that the Superintendent takes the position that he does, and this Board I believe should take the same position. You can't serve two masters. In this case, I have read the opinion, and you can't be both of them. Judge Bohanon says that we are in compliance. Now then someone else comes along and says something else; I don't think you can do both, and I believe that rather than to just praise him there, I think you have got to settle head-on squarely that somebody has got to be the one to make decisions and not xtwo or three people, and that's what this clearly seems to be. Mr. English - I would move that the Board instruct the Superintendent to inform our U. S. Senators and Congressmen of the District of Columbia Appeals Court decision with the request that they relay that information to HEW Office of Civil Rights.

Dr. Moon - I second the motion. t?

s

R. #419 i Motion to Make Contact Re Decision Affecting ESAA Grant

Mr. McCray - You have heard the motion and the second, are there any questions? Mr. Knight - Apparently this is the legal division of HEW that made the contact with you, is that correct?

Dr. Lillard - It is the legal division of Civil Rights. Mr. Knight - To the Civil Rights Office?

Dr. Lillard - To the Civil Rights Office. They feel that we should sit down and negotiate this item. I don't feel that I am in a position to negotiate the assignment of any staff member because of race. Mr. Estes - Dr. Lillard, my recommendation was that you in the presence of Mr. Johnson go to Dallas and appear before (HEW). (cont'd)

MEETING OF SEPTEMBER 4, 1973 - CONI'D

Dr. Lillard. - Let me try, let's contact both. I like to have everything in writing when I deal with the U. S. Office of Education, and Health, Education and Welfare. They prefer usually not to have it in writing. And I am, again, not referring to Dr. Goldberg; I would like to contact them in writing that we have received your letter of August 24; raise these points; have all of this in a letter; send the same thing to our congressional delegation to see if they can be of assistance; give it a few days to "ferment" so to speak; then if we feel a trip to Dallas would be of benefit to the school system, then I would have the Board's permission to go ahead and make that trip. Mr. Knight - Since Judge Bohanon is a part of the federal bureaucracy, I suggest that a copy of this go to him also. I think that was Harry's feeling anyway. Mr. McCray - You have heard the motion by Mr. English and seconded by Dr. Moon; would you call the roll. On roll call, six members voted "Aye", and one member (Mrs. York) voted "Nay". motion carried.

Remarks - Opening of the 1973~74 School Year

Dr. Lillard - Limiting these remarks to enrollment data submitted by building i principals at approximately noon today, many students are still in the process of i enrolling. It is obvious that we haven't achieved our predicted amounts, but the * latest report issued by our Research Office indicates that we have 50,943 pupils i enrolled in the Oklahoma City School System as of approximately noon today; racial [ breakdown approximately 26.5$ being of the minority race. I think that, it is interest-; ing to note that last year when we submitted our report to the Court in November, the i percentage of black students was approximately 26.4% I believe; in May it decreased ! to 26.1$. As we begin this school year it is 26.5$. I think there has been no dramatic change in the overall racial composition of the student body of the Oklahoma ■ City School System. A great number of students are enrolling this date. We even find i next Monday and Tuesday, from past experiences, that enrollment will continue to grow, i Elementary enrollment, usually by the beginning of the third week, is fairly well ma- ■ terialized with some minor growth to take place. On the middle school : I j and high school levels we have found from past experience that those enrollments \ continue to grow through the first six to nine weeks of school. It will be an ever i changing daily process as the enrollment varies. I believe as members of the Board look at these data they will find that on the elementary, level we have several of our elementary schools that are approaching a very dangerously low enrollment; our fifth year centers seem to be materializing quite well; on the middle school level the enrollment, even though it has not quite reached the original prediction for as the end of the first quarter, the middle school enrollment appears to be coming in at a fairly decent rate. The high school enrollment, obviously, is down because it is the. last enrollment to materialize.

=! ;! ij

Mrs. York - I have a couple of questions. One, I have had some people to call me concerning the tests that are being given to the children that come from private schools that are not accredited. Is this a standard test that would be given sometime during the year to all students in the class?

I '■ i

Dr. Lillard - Yes, I refer to the annual bulletin for elementary and secondary school administrators which is issued by the State Department of Education, and on each level, elementary, middle school, and high school, they indicate students entering an accredited school from a nonaccredited school shall, it is not permissive, they don't say may, shall be given a standardized test to determine in which grade they should be placed. This is something that we have done over the past several years in the Oklahoma City School System. I think this year we are experiencing a greater number of pupils enrolling in the Oklahoma City School System this year that attended nonaccredited schools last year. So we must administer a standardized test before they can be placed in the classroom.

i (

Ji ) 0

;

Mrs. York - My next question is this. How can you tell the growth of that child if you have had them like say fourth grade, maybe they didn't want to go to a fifth year center, and they come back to the sixth grade, do you consider at what level they were working when they left at the end of the fourth year? Dr. Lillard - Yes, if a child has been attending this school system and we have their j accumulative folders showing from kindergarten through the fourth grade, they were absent in the fifth year, they come back in the sixth year, they take these tests; | to the best of my knowledge, I don'tthink any pupil has been retained or moved back | or anything like that. j Mrs. York - This was my question; if a fourth grader were doing third grade work at the end of that fourth year, and then went on to a nonaccredited school in the fifth year; come back in the sixth year with maybe a year's growth; he would still be a year behind because many of our children are not progressing in our schools as they should.

(cont’d)

MEETING OF SEPTEMBER U, 1973 - CONT'D

Dr. Lillard. - This, is true on any grade level; you will not find all students perform- i ing on exactly that grade level. You will find two or three or four year grade level | variations above and beyond the means. We'have to consider the total performance of the child in all of their years in the Oklahoma City School System. But we are required by State Law to administer the test.

Mrs. York - I agree to that. Does this also pertain to high school; if a high school student was taking from an accredited teacher specific courses for their high school i education, and they come back in the school and are administered a test for each ' credit that they have had during the year, will they be given by law those credits? | i Mr. McCray - What is an accredited teacher; I don't know what you are saying? Dr. Lillard - Well, the reference is certificated with a valid certificate. The school is accredited, not the individual teacher. Then if they can perform, actually when you get into high school, then you deal with North Central membership and accreditation; if they are able to perform then we recognize the credits if they can perform on the test on the high school level.

! j \ |

Mrs. York - This was done in one of our schools this past week. The child was given a test, rated very high in courses that they had taken, and there is some controversy as to whether they will be given their credits. First, they said they would and then they wouldn't. So may I contact that person and ask them to get in touch with you?

Dr. Lillard - No, have them contact the child's counselor, because they will have the total record. I wouldn't have the child's record and wouldn't have either the ability or the time to counsel each individual pupil in the school system. If they would contact the child's counselor at the high school, and also work with the building principal, I am certain that they can get it worked out.

i Mrs. York - I have only one other thing - it has been called to my attention and I ! have visited with Jerry Rippetoe and with Dr. Lillard about it; while we have a very i good special learning class for the children who have problems in learning; I have I had some calls concerning the accelerated class; that we seem to be falling down in this area; and I recommended to both Jerry Rippetoe and Dr. Lillard that maybe our Administration do a survey as to how many children we have that are gifted that need to be put in accelerated classes, and if we have enough that we do create these classes! for the children that are gifted. I have had several parents from one school call me i and complain that their children do not have enough to do to be interested.

i i Dr. Lillard - I think if we can have the names of those children who don't have enough j to do or are not challenged by the program, we can find a,.program to challenge them. ■' I think one thing you have to be very careful of and I don't mean it in a racial | context, but I don't think you want to segregate pupils .purely on the basis of some ! academic score or performance on something like that. I think you want them to have • an academic challenge that is commensurate with their interest and ability, but the Oklahoma City School System, to the best of my knowledge, hasn't attempted to segregate youngsters. I think we have been able to provide programs for the gifted, for the academically talented; and I just met one prior to coming into this board meeting i today that would qualify certainly as an academically talented youngster. I think i that this is something that you have to be very careful of, and the motivation can be i suspect somewhat. But if we have, and I know we have many principals in the audience; but if we hdve, any youngster that feels they are not being challenged by the program in their school by those teachers, contact the building principal, and also the Director of Elementary Education, Middle Schools, and High Schools, and I think you can provide the program without segregating the youngster, an academic challenge.

Mrs. York - Possibly; however, my niece went all through school, all the way through Taft and Northwest Classen and was in accelerated classes, and I assumed that the Oklahoma City School System had classes for the accelerated or gifted child; because the average child would not be able to keep up; and I think it is unfair to hold the gifted child back; and I think we should have something for them.

Dr. Lillard - We wouldn't want to hold the gifted child back and I think you do have ! some ranges beyond which you try not to exceed, especially on the secondary level. i But I think the days of just putting a stamp on the child according to I.Q., or performance on a given test, and stacking them; the first thirty go into this group; and the next thirty go into this group; serious harm could be done to the pupil if you do that. Again, I know many of our youngsters that are extremely academically talented, and most of them I know have been challenged by the program that is in the Oklahoma City School System. If we could have the names of the individuals and work with the directors, I think we can provide a program for them. Mrs. York - This was my answer. I think we have it; we have the staff to do it; we have the teachers that are capable; we have the teachers that want to; I just don't think it is being applied. I don't think we are offering this child____ .

Mr. McCray - Well, Mrs. York, as Dr. Lillard said, why don't you turn in the names to them so they can check it out and find out the situation, and then go from there. I think that would be the logical conclusion.

Discovery Head Start Program - Request to Use Facilities - Riverside Elementary School

| | ii i

Dr. Lillard - On August 8, 1973; members of the Board of Education did receive a letter from a patron committee representing Discovery Head Start Programs, | Riverside Elementary School area; also, the chairman of the Riverside Neighbor; hood Council. In this correspondence they indicated something of the background | of the program, approximately 60 children involved; their need for 2100 sq. ft. ! of space; they also indicated that they would be appearing at the Board Meeting } of August 16. Mrs. Smart did appear at that Board Meeting and make a presentaj tion. The Board instructed appropriate staff. members to meet with representatives from the Discovery Head Start Program. Previously, I had sent to the Board the information that on August 22, at 10:30 a.m., such a meeting was held. The school system was represented by Dr. Jesse Lindley, Dr. Wallace Smith, Mr. Terry Hayes, Mr. Winfred Poemoceah, and Dr. John Brothers; CAP was represented by Mr. Lyle Jones, the principal of Discovery Preschool, and three other CAP reprei sentatives. The various points were discussed and the concluding paragraph was > that both groups agreed that the proposal would need additional "in house" study | and discussion, and that Mr. Lyle Jones would contact the school system concerning future meetings.

On August 28, Dr. Tom English, the Executive Director of CAP, did send to Dr. Brothers correspondence with copies going to myself, members of the Board, and Mrs. Smart. In this correspondence Dr. English gave a background on the rationale \ for the program and such; indicated the space requirement needs; I believe the i

original estimate of five classrooms was restated in terms of three adjacent class-; rooms on either the second, which is the main floor, or the third floor of.the I

building. Some small additional space would be necessary for the teacher-director; space for files; and Dr. English indicatedtthat the kitchen; restroom; lounge, and playground facilities could be shared with 'the public school program. In this correspondence, too. Dr. English indicated that CAP'S budget for the operation of Discovery includes funds for utilities and maintenance of space. Maybe I was guilty of an error; I thought we were talking originally in terms of renting of space; but then a subsequent conference with Bill Nerin indicated that; again, their budget does not include money for rental of space, only the operation of the program. Also, the indication has been made that USDA guidelines for free and reduced price school lunches do not limit the ages of the children eligible for service. Our contract with the State School Food Service Department indicated that we could provide meals only for those students who are legally enrolled in the Oklahoma City School System.

This is basically the background and resume of the situation. We all recognize quite well the very fine work that this program provides. We need to point out quite clear ly that____ ; my understanding is that the program is not in operation at the present time. They are in the process of moving or relocating from the Little Flower Church. Mention has been made on several occasions about 60 students are involved in the program. I am not certain if all 60 students participating in the program are residents of the Riverside Elementary attendance unit, or if they are all residents of’ the Oklahoma City School System. I think that possibly is a very important point, We recognize that Discovery Head Start does provide a very fine service as do many■other very fine community service oriented agencies. I can see some questions, areas of concern; problems; for example, the Riverside building is not built in wings; it is one of our older buildings. It would be impossible to block off a part of the building like you might do with other elementary schools in the Oklahoma City School System. Board Members are quite well aware of the fact that the program does operate from about 7:00 or 7^30 in the morning until about 5:30 or 6:00 in the evening. And basically our elementary schools do not operate under those hours. In addition, it is a 12 months program. The holidays observed by the Oklahoma City School System would not be observed by the Discovery Head Start Program. I can see where our problems in the cafeteria here, for example, would possibly be tremendous. Many employees like to work for the Oklahoma City School System because of the calendar that we follow where they can be home with their children on the days that school is not in session. I think these are some important points we need to recognize. Most important of all, we need to recognize that this is a federally funded program separate and apart from a public school system, Whether the federal government was wise or not; I don't think that is for us to debate. By funding separately and not giving the money to the public school system; it would appear to me that the federal government is saying; this is a unique, this is a special; this is a different program which should function somewhat separate from the public school system. This is an extremely important point. We need to recognize that there are always questions abouthhow much space is available in a school building. Again, the additional five rooms. Dr. English indicated possibly three rooms with other spaces being available. According to our school principal and our Director of Elementary Education, one or two rooms and then some basement rooms., and these basement rooms can be utilized by the present program.

We are; to a point; trying to determine would we be diminishing the effectiveness of the present program at Riverside by commingling ox* combining the two programs. It is a very difficult recommendation to make to the Oklahoma City Board of Education; you have to weigh all of these facts. I think the Oklahoma City School System has a very fine record in that I can think of University Heights; the Wright Elementary School area; the Walnut Grove School; all of which are owned by the Oklahoma City System but which are leased to public use serving agencies. If we had a building available for use by this organization; I would recommend that the entire building be made available to them; but I do not feel that it would be in the best interest of the school system to commingle the two programs. The recommendation of your staff would be that the request for utilization of the Riverside School by thelDLscovery Head Start Program be denied.

Mr. McCray - You have heard the remarks and the recommendations of the Superintendent; what is your pleasure on this program? Mr. Knight - Originally one of the proposals we had was to move the youngsters in Riverside to another school assuming that that school would he large enough to take those youngsters into it.

Mr. McCray - That was the recommendation of the Superintendent; it was denied by the Board.

Mr. Knight - I understand that. That school that we were thinking about transferring the youngsters from Riverside to should in fact have room in it; is that correct; should have vacant rooms in it or otherwise we wouldn't have talked about combining the program's?

(cont'd)


MEETING OF SEPTEMBER 4, 1973 - CONT'D iDiscovery Head Start Program Request to Use Mr. Knight - So that Lee then would, have a number of rooms that are vacant? ’Facilities Mr. McCray - Not particularly so, Mr. Knight. They would have the regular grades and Riverside Elem. i School - cont'd you would merge say Riverside's first grades into Lee's first grade. This would not !---------------mean that the rooms are necessarily vacant. i Dr. Lillard. - We were talking about utilizing Lee Elementary.

Dr. Lillard - My recommendation is that I don't think it is good to commingle the two programs within the existing building; again, if we had an entire building, I would recommend that we lease it to them. Discussion continued between Dr. Lillard and members of the Board as to the feasibili ty of granting permission for use of the Riverside building under the c ircums tanc e s.

|r . #427 Mrs. York - How many of the children who are presently going to Head Start are |Facilities at children that live in the immediate Riverside area, and how many are brought in from ’Riverside Elem. other school districts to go there? Not that it would matter if the facility were I- - - - to ■ empty, but how many of these children are going to feed into Riverside and be educatedjSchool Denied |Discovery Head there? I don't think you can ask the people of Riverside to close their school and ■Start Program give it to a particular program no matter how good this program is. If we had a building, fine, I would like to give it to theml And if we cannot give Riverside to them, I would like to help find them a place to put the program because I think it is good, but I would recommend and if we need to, I will make the motion that we deny this on the grounds that Dr. Lillard has stated. Mr. McCray - Do I hear a second to Mrs. York's motion?

Dr. Krob - I would second the motion, on the basis as I would say, that Dr. Lillard has brought up; the difficulties of the space; the difficulties of staff; the conflict in the hours of operation; a problem that he didn't mention, I think, of liabilities; the problems of meals, etc. It would seem to me that there ought to be in this area somewhere space that would be available, whether it's residential space; somebody ! in this city owns a lot of property in that area; I don't know who it is, I have got a pretty good idea of who some of them might be, and this space should be available for a nominal sum to such an organization as this which I know is worthy. It seems to me that it would be in the best interest of the school system, as Dr. Lillard has said, not to commingle these two programs. If the building were entirely empty, I would be for letting them have it.

Mr. Knight - Where the people live in the area or come from the area; I think we have several schools in our system in which the majority of the enrollment is not from the immediate neighborhood. I think that was instituted a year ago, was it not? Mr. McCray

Yes, the Finger Plan took care of that a year ago.

Mr. Knight - The question I did raise though was whether or not in fact the Board would look with favor, if the people of the community of Riverside came to us and said this is the way that we would like to have it; following a previous recommendation, would the Board, if they said, sure we would like to have our youngsters going to Lee and have this program, would the Board accept this kind of a response from the community,_from the people who live there?

Mr. McCray - I could fairly guarantee you their answer. Mr. Estes - It hasn't been too long ago that the group of people, a number in the : audience right now, who came before this Board in protest of closing, "save our school", with banners, placards out there to "save our school"; they wanted to keep Riverside School; and I was one of the ones to vote for keeping Riverside School along with a number of other schools that we were going to close, I think the time is coming when we are going to have to close some schools if our enrollment continues to decrease as it is. I don't think it is very long and probably the next year when we will have to close some schools because of the small enrollment. I don't think we could commingle with any great amount of satisfaction with the Head Start Program and our public school system, And it looks to me like if the Head Start people were to find a house with three rooms or more that they could lease it for a short length of time. I don't think it will be very longuntil maybe Riverside would be available. I would certainly be in favor of turning Riverside School over to them or making some kind of arrangement where they could use it. I go along with your thinking that we should not commingle our schools with these outside programs even though they are good; it's no question about it. I think you are asking for problems when you do that, and at the same time the Riverside people asked us to keep that school open for their students to go to, for this year anyhow. Therefore, I go along with the thinking of Dr. Lillard at this time, not to commingle the schools.

Mr. English - Mr. Chairman, on this particular thing, the way the motion is worded which I think probably is rather vague; it says for the reasons that Dr. Lillard mentioned. But I think I have a philosophical disagreement here on the commingling of these programs; possibly in this particular situation, I would agree, but overall I can think of situations where possibly the programs could be commingled without that big problem. I can see that the facts are here to support the Discovery Day Care

Center should not he located in Riverside School; hut I cannot agree with the premise that we should not commingle programs. \ i

p

Dr. Lillard - Again, my recommendation was made in terms of this program. I can see, i programs where buildings are constructed in wings; they are all on the"ground floor; ? you have restrooms in the wing of a building; that would lend itself to a greater possibility. This structure is multi-storied, one restroom is on one floor, one restroom is on another floor; I think it would make it extremely difficult if not i? impossible to commingle the programs. And my recommendation made, it is a staff ; recommendation but I assume the responsibility for it, but it is made in terms of this specific situation, under the circumstances that exist at this time. •;

i

i

Mr. English - I would not like to see happen is that for the Board to go on record of being opposed to, Just flatly opposed to commingling programs, because these are >; schools paid for by the taxpayers, and if it is idle out there with various rooms 1 empty, I think they ought to be used. Members of the Board continued to discuss the interpretation of the "commingling of programs" and the intent of the motion. Mr. Ginn was asked to read the motion as stated by Mrs. York.

Mr. English - I would like to amend the motion there to state, to delete the last part of that statement so that it would say that we simply denied the request. Mr. McCray - Do I hear a second to the amendment?

After further discussion regarding the motion and the amendment, Mr. McCray declared that the amendment "dies for the want of a second." On roll call to the motion, voting "Aye" - Mr. Estes, Dr. Krob, Mrs. York, and Mr. McCray. Voting "Nay" - Mr. English and Mr. Knight. The motion carried.

Mr. McCray - Is there other Unfinished Business to bring before the Board at this time? i

Mrs. York - Yes, Mr. McCray, I am very sorry to say that I have a statement that I would like to read and maybe it will end some of the calls that I have been getting; calls that I don't like to get, and it concerns our last board meeting; and I don't like reading it but I will; and I did write this out so that I will not repeat myself; as I say, it upsets me to read this.

Mrs. York read a prepared statement as follows:

(Copy from Statement)

"At our last Board Meeting, I was very hurt and surprised by the comments directed at me by a fellow member of the School Board. I said nothing to this member, nor did I call the news media about the ungentlemenly remark; however, it was heard by a reporter who inquired further as to why. I know we have had differences in the past and I'm sure that in the future we will disagree on certain^policies, pertaining to the activities of the Oklahoma City School Board. 'While tempers may flair and misunderstandings arise because of our individual decisions, and we both have the obligation to represent our constituents, I feel that as representatives of th'e citizens of Oklahoma City we have an obligation also to act as ladies and gentlemen while conducting the very serious business of the administration of our schools.

"Gutter language, as was directed against me, was completely uncalled for and cast must undignified shadow upon the entire School Board, and upon the entire citizenry of Oklahoma City for that matter.

"Ladies and gentlemen, I don't use gutter language and I don't appreciate it directed upon me; however, I have considered the source and feel I've,.risen above it. I felt this statement was necessary because of the phone calls I've had from my constituents after hearing about the incident of the last Board Meeting. 1

i i

"I think that this statement will explain my feeling about the incident and now prefer the matter to be closed while we get on with the very real business of the Oklahoma City School Board. Thank you."

Mr. English - On unfinished business, we received a letter from The Black Dispatch about the renaming of Douglass Stadium, and they wanted to know about whether they could get up a petition, and I think at that time you (Superintendent) indicated that maybe there would be a report back at this meeting.

(cont'd)

292

MEETING OF SEPTEMBER K, 1973 - CONT'D Dr. Lillard - I thought they indicated in their correspondence that they would he submitting a petition. As of this date, we haven't received the petition. We can check that Mr. English, but my understanding, in the correspondence they said, I don't have a copy of the letter, but it indicated they would be submitting a petition or would be securing some, but we haven't received any such petition at the present time.

Mr. English - I think what they said here was, we would like permission to present to the Board a petition and said, it would be most appreciated if we could at your nearest convenience present to you this petition along with other information needed. Your immediate reply would be appreciated.

Dr. Lillard - We missed that point; I thought that they would contact us to present the petition, and as of this date, they haven't. Mr. McCray - Dr. Lillard, have you not been in contact with them?

Dr. Lillard - No. Mr. McCray - They requested that you contact them? Dr. Lillard - I thought that they would be contacting us. ADJOURNMENT

A motion to adjourn was made by Mrs. York and seconded by Mr. Estes, and carried. THEREUPON THE MEETING ADJOURNED.

LEGAL REPORTS

Mr. Johnson - (1) Yesterday, the Clerk of the Board was served with a summons in a case brought by John J. Harden Trustees, against the School District involving the title to University Heights School property. They are claiming in this action a "L" strip surrounding the building site. Their claim is on the ground that it has ceased to be used for school purposes and it therefore reverts to the original owners. I will give a report on this action after I have reviewed the matter.

1 Attorney's Report !

(2) In the case of Shirley Nero, which was heard by the State Board of Education on September 18, 1973., I have prepared a formal report and I will ask Mr. Ginn to distribute copies of my report. (Mr. Ginn distributed copies to Members of the Board, and Mr. Johnson read from copy as printed.) 1.

At the hearing before the State Board of Education on September 18, 1973, the State Board restricted its consideration to occurrences during the 1972-73 school year. This action by the State Board eliminated matters occurring in a prior year which Mr. French had planned to present.

2.

Two public bodies, the Professional Practices Commission and the State Board of Education, have found that Shirley Nero is a competent teacher.

3.

We can appeal, under the Administrative Procedures Act, to the District Court; however, District Court, on appeal, seldom reverses the decisions of administrative bodies such as the State Board of Education.

4.

We could not present any additional evidence in the District Court that we have not already presented before the Professional Practices Commission and the State Board of Education.

5.

The Statute states that, "A finding that a teacher was dismissed without sufficient cause shall automatically extend for one year the contract of the teacher involved, during which period of time the board of education and the teacher shall negotiate in an effort to resolve their differences prior to

j j ; j

April 10 of the succeeding year." It is not clear as to whether the reinstate-! ment of a teacher is effective only for the succeeding (one) year, or whether the teacher's employment status shall revert to a continuing contract basis, thereby necessitating the same procedure we had to follow this year. We will plan to take steps necessary to get an Attorney General Opinion for a clarification on this point.

6.

I recommend that we accept the decision of the State Board of Education; that we do not appeal to the District Court; that we proceed immediately to reinstate Miss Nero to a teaching assignment for the 1973-74 school year, and to pay her salary retroactive to the beginning of school (August 27, 1973)•

Mr. McCray - You have heard our Attorney's report and recommendation. At this time, | we should have expressions from members of the Board if they desire, and take whatever |

action the Board deems necessary.

MEETING OF SEPTEMBER

R. #430 Motion to Reinstate Shirley Nero

1973 - CONT'D

Mrs. York - After hearing the rest of the Board. Members first, I would like the privilege of making the motion that we reinstate Shirley Nero. j‘ h Mr. McCray - Do we have a second to Mrs. York's motion? _ Dr. Moon - I will second the motion.

Mr. McCray - Are there any questions or any discussion?

r

Dr. Krob - Mr. Johnson, we are asking for an opinion or a clarification (of the Statutes); if Miss Nero is reinstated, would this succeeding opinion have any bearing on her reinstatement?

<

Mr. Johnson - I would determine-whether by April 10, we would have to give notice as we do other teachers if we want to terminate - that her contract would not be renewed for the ensuing year. Termination would have to be on one of the five statutory grounds, and then she would have the right to appeal. If her status as to being only for one year, or to having tenure were factors, the Board could make its decision by the end of the year.

:i i' i; u ji

Mr. Estes made comments on the matter explaining his previous vote on the Superintendent's original recommendation, also his reaction to the finding by the State Board of Education.

|

Mr. Knight asked the Superintendent for his recommendation on the matter.

I i I J | j

s! Dr. Lillard - I made my recommendation-to the Board that the teacher be terminated. As professionals we have a right to agree and disagree. I personally am sorely ;! disappointed in the vote of the State Board. I respect their right to make their S decisions and evaluate it as they see fit. Our action was taken in terms of professional action; I certainly don't want to give the appearance that we are harassing p the teacher or being vindictive. It was a difficult professional decision to make; each year it becomes more and more difficult. I think the building principal and the Director of Elementary Education made a sound valid professional recommendation. Unfortunately, the State Board of Education doesn't agree with me.

i

Mr. Knight - Is your recommendation to appeal? j

j

ii

’i

"

Dr. Lillard - No. We (professionals) have made decisions and we didn't get the concurrence by the State Board of Education; I am not certain that a District Judge j; is more competent to decide whether a teacher is competent, more than the members s of this staff and the members of this Board of Education. If we had some legal grounds other than we Just disagree with the decision, we might appeal. I am questioning how a District Judge would make the decision. Very rarely do the district ■! courts overturn the decisions of governing boards. It might Just be an exercise in futility. I question whether the District Court would give us any relief, and js whether they are better qualified to Judge on the competency of the teacher. I would question the advisability of taking it to the District Court. j'

On roll call to the motion, six members voted "Aye", and one member (Dr. Krob) voted "Nay". The motion carried.

>1 h

Mr. Johnson - (3) I have another formal report that I would like to make, and I will ask Mr. Ginn to distribute it among the members. (Mr. Johnson read a prepared report pertaining to a restraining order initiated by the ACT.)

i>

On September 14, we received from District Judge Jack Parr a temporary restraining order, temporarily enjoining the Board from proceeding with the negotiations policy adopted by the Board on July 24, 1973• The Superintendent's office sent copies of the Order to each member and advised of his conversation with me in which I suggested that the Board had two alternatives of response or reaction

«

:j

■;

to the Order. One of the alternatives was that the Board might ask the Court to dissolve the temporary restraining order. The second alternative was to routinely wait until the date and time set for a hearing on the matter, 10:00 a.m., Monday, October 8, 1973-

There might be other actions that the Board would wish to consider, such as, filing other motions in the courts and/or other means of litigation; however, it appears to me that one of the two approaches which I had suggested on Friday is the most appropriate.

ii | -J

11

ij h

The order was issued without any notice to us. We were not given opportunity to be heard. We were given our "day in court" - October 8, on ACT's application j, for a temporary injunction. If a choice is made to file a Motion to Dissolve, i I have a draft of one prepared. i

(cont’d)


295

MEETING OF SEPTEMBER 20, 1973 - CONT'D About all we could hope for by filing a motion to dissolve would be to get a hearing before October 8. The case has been assigned to District Judge Harold Iheus. He is the presiding Judge of the criminal division of the district court for this month, which means that it would be almost impossible for us to get a hearing this month. It appears doubtful, from a look at Judge Theus' docket, that he could "find a spot to hear us before October 8. He seems to have a full docket during the first week of October.

fl

•j }!

ji

i

We are not being required by the temporary restraining order to do any affirmative acts prior to October 8. The order does not require us to recognize the Classroom Teachers as the Negotiations representative of any of our teachers. The Order maintains the status quo. It does prolong the recognition of any organization, by the Board, for negotiation purposes.

Considering all of these factors, I recommend that we let the case run its course as scheduled - that we not file a motion to dissolve and not ask for a hearing before October 8. The Classroom Teachers will on that date have to present their evidence, and cite legal authorities, to support and sustain their position. The burden will be on ACT. In the meanwhile, I can be preparing for the October 8 hearing. If the decision at the October 8 hearing is adverse to us, then we can decide what further action to take, such as an appeal to the State Supreme Court.

Mr., McCray - Since we have several people who have asked to speak on this subject, I j am sure that the Board would want to wait until you have heard them before any action, i if any, will be taken. i Mrs. York - Maybe Mr. Johnson didn't know about it, but I believe that we were asked by the ACT to call a Special Board Meeting to be heard. They did ask for a meeting so that they could present their case to us before they filed.

i

Mr. Johnson - I don't have any knowledge of it. Mrs. York - The ACT did ask that this Oklahoma City School Board hear them in a special meeting. So I don't think we can blame them completely for filing.

; I i

Mr. McCray - You are correct. I polled the Board and the majority of the Board did , not react to a special meeting. As President of the Board, I reacted to the majority | of the Board. i Mr. Kenneth Moak reported for the firm of Moak, Hunsaker and Rouse; and Mr. Miles Hall Auditors4 reported for the firm of Thomas and Company. Each referred to the Annual Audit Reports Report for the School Year 1972-73, a copy of which had been submitted to members of the Board. ! i

Dr. Lillard - I had sent to the members of the Board a report from Mr. Darrel Shepard.|Report on Food I would briefly summarize that report and more specific recommendations for the |Service ManageBoard to consider at this time. To date companies have either been contacted or jment Survey contacted us regarding a food service management survey. Each company was given "raw data" concerning our food service department. Specifications concerning what was desired in the survey were very broad. We indicated that we wanted to receive proposals based on the idea of improving our food service operation. The proposals were to include cost, scope, time schedule, and specific recommendations for a survey. Three of the four companies have responded. One company does estimate that they could conduct a very comprehensive program; the estimated cost $98,500.00. Another company has had limited experience in consultative services. Their cost would be at the rate of $25«00 per hour, plus a daily expense, and then they have other costs. They estimate that a survey would cost approximately $2,500.00 plus expenses. We would have to certainly "nail down" a lot more with that firm before we proceed into anything specific.

A third company, primarily a certified public accounting firm, has had very broad experience in this area. They indicate that their proposal is based on approximately a nine-weeks schedule with specific tasks outlined in the program. They estimate (cont'd) j


296

MEETING OF SEPTEMBER 20, 1973 - CONT'D

that their cost would be between $24,000,00 and $26,000.00. A fourth company has contacted Mr. Shepard; a food service management company. Of the four companies, two are primarily interested in the possibility of taking over the total management of our lunch program. This is something we would have to examine very closely before we move into that direction.

3 3 ;; 'j 3

j

If the Board reaches some decision today on this recommendation, then the staff could recontact each of these firms with more specific guidelines, and ask each company to submit more definite proposals for evaluation before the staff and I would come back to the Board for a more detailed and specific recommendation.

(Each member of the Board responded to the recommendations regarding the food management survey. Some of the comments questioned the need of the survey at this time; a previous commitment by the Board to make such a study; the possibility of using our staff for a survey; the lack of the present staff in having the kind of knowledge expertise to operate our food service properly; the possibility of hiring an expert as food service manager for one year, and other.)

Following the discussion, Mr. English stated, "Mr. Chairman, I think that our professional administrators have recommended this study, and the Superintendent has made his recommendation, and therefore I will make the motion that we approve the Superintendent's recommendation on the food study." The motion was seconded by Mr. Knight.

[information to die Board

3 Finally, we need to explore the possibility that more specific directions be given to thestaff. My recommendation would be that the first approach would be a limited survey approach, because I think we do need to know more nearly where are we, what h is the status of our food service; what would they recommend; some of the basic recommendations for improving service and cutting cost. Certainly Mr. Shepard and ;i I have gone over this report in detail before it was submitted to menbers of the Board.3 I think the absolute maximum that I would suggest that the Board consider would be $25,000.00 for such a survey, and I am not certain we would go that high. ; The receipts from our food service program total over $3 million annually. Should we ' invest some funds to examine, I think we would consider more critically the service 3 that is being provided to the pupils and staff of this school system. We would be remiss if we didn't limit the time of the survey somewhat. A maximum of 90 days would 3 give any company anopportunity to visit enough buildings, do enough interviewing and surveying that they could make a more comprehensive report to the Board of Education. Obviously, the study should be concentrated in the areas of inventory control, staffing, menu planning, recommendations concerning the possibility of delimiting our [, food service in some schools, purchase procedures, pricing, and other points. We need to move forward on this and certainly not always keep this "open-ended" where 3 additional companies would be coming in each additional week or each additional ■; month. This has been a highly publicized item, and the four firms that have approached; this Board, all are certainly reputable firms and could do a good job. 3

Dr. Lillard - It should fee a matter of record and entered into the minutes of this !j meeting that I had contacted our two United States Senators, Speaker of the House, ;; and also Congressman Jarman, concerning assistance; possibility of getting our 3 ESAA grant.

I assure you that I will be glad to work on this problem with Congressman Jarman and other members of the i! delegation, and I hope that a favorable solution can be reached soon." A ij representative or an a,ide of Senator Bartlett's office did call and spent about 3 15 minutes discussing the item; said they would contact Civil Rights. We do have. !j correspondence from Congressman Jarman. Senator Bellmon's letterwas somewhat 3 brief but indicated that he was aware of the problem. As of this date our i; Emergency School Assistance Act application is maintained in a limbo by the 3 Civil Rights Department of HEW. [; 1 H

Dr. Moon - Dr. Lillard., may I just ask a question. After this denial of the acceptance of our application, then it wasn't tooilong before at Douglass (and I presume Northeast), teachers were removed because of our having too many black teachers at these schools. You sent me some material to read, however, it still was.not clear to me. Would you explain this along with your other remarks about HEW?

!< h h j

!

Dr. Lillard - Board Members and members of the staff and the community know that we > are required to submit biannual reports to Federal Judge Luther Bohanon. Those reports^ are due on November 1 and May 1. Two of the major points of these reports are that ; we are required by court order to have racially balanced staffs in each and every ] school of the Oklahoma City School System. A specific number is not mentioned; ; however, the Order states that the ratio of black to white staff members in each and ] every building shall be the same as the ratio of black to white staff members in the i school system as a whole. The certificated staff in the Oklahoma City School System i is approximately 75$ white, 25$ black. According to Judge Bohanon's Order, that . means each building must have a staff that's approximately 75$ 'white, 25$ black, with j a deviation not to exceed 10$. That's between 15$ and 35$« The District has been : working on the implementation of that Order for some time. The Court raised no question about our reports that were submitted last November 1 and last May 1; however,; we have continued to make progress to achieve the Order of the Court. Since another ! report is due on or before November 1, it has necessitated the transfer of approximate-; ly 18 to 20 teachers to make certain that the staffs are racially balanced as required j by the Court Order. i Achieving this racially balanced staff has nothing to do with the complaint or the visit of the Civil Rights division of HEW. It's unlike the Memorandum of May 15 calling to our attention a situation asking the Board to take certain action. Many students are concerned; many staff members are concerned; that we achieve 99•9$ of the racially balanced staff on a completely voluntary basis.

The Court did not say do this if you can do it; they did not say do it if it. is coni venient; the Court did not say do it if it works no hardship on anyone. The Court I said to do it, and that is exactly what this school system has been forced to do. We | have indicated to the principals and to some of the teachers involved, that if anyone ] would volunteer to participate in the transfer, then we would certainly give preference] to those volunteers. ;

Dr. Moon - One thing that I read was based on '65 Order, but I couldn't understand why if it was '65 and it didn't operate from '65 up until '73 why it became so drastic in '73-

ji

h !i

i;

0

Dr. Lillard - Basically, the original Order of '65 required racially balanced staffs, The Order implementing the Cluster Plan gave permission for those schools that had majority black student bodies to have majority black faculties. The Order implementing the Finger Plan did away (vacated) with the Cluster Plan, so you did not have that dispensation that you had previously. We all recognize that we are employees of the school system; we serve at the discretion of the Board; no assignment in this school system is permanent; whether it is the present assignment or the one to which someone is being transferred at the present time. It works a hardship on an employee to have to be transferred during a current year. We have been able to accomplish most of this and have not been in the process' of massive transfers, forced transfers of hundreds of .Reachers. The principals are aware of what their staff ratio should be; if we find a teacher who will volunteer for the transfer, we will give them preference. Otherwise, the building principal like the staff member, like the members of this Board, are obligated by that Court Order. No one has the authority to say, "I will not abide by that Court Order." 3.

j Enrollment Data ] ! ;

;

| ! i

Briefly reporting our latest enrollment data, this is data as of yesterday j (September 19)- We recorded 55>661 students enrolled in the Oklahoma City Schools;; racial composition, 27^$ black. Since our first reporting date of September 4, ] we have gained 4,718 students. The racial composition has changed 1 percentage j point. Compared to last fall (one year previous), the racial composition has i changed approximately 1 percentage point. The enrollment data do present interest-] ing possibilities. Our present kindergarten enrollment as of this date is greater i that it was at the close of the last school year. Typically school systems are I experiencing a more rapid decline in kindergarten enrollment than almost any other level. Our kindergarten enrollment is greater this fall that it was last May 1 in our report to the Court. We had predicted an enrollment of 57.,000 pupils. As of this date, we have 55,661; so we are within approximately 1300 ■pupils of our predicted enrollment. The greatest losses appear to be in the K through 4 schools, also in the middle schools. Our Fifth Year Centers have more students enrolled now than they had one year ago. Our high school enrollments are very close to predictions; and those of you that have worked in high schools know that the enrollment does continue to grow over the next several weeks. Our K through 5 schools are about what we predicted. Possibly many parents did not choose to send their youngsters to a Fifth Year Center, and when'they did not attend a Fifth Year Center, then many did not return to the middle schools during the sixth grade. Our enrollment is coming very close to what we had originally j predicted.


298

MEETING OF SEPTEMBER 20, 1973 - CONT'D I would like to make a brief comment. I have not had an opportunity to share this information with members of the Board until this time. I think every teacher, every patron, every member of this Boarci, every staff member, continues to be shocked at the senseless violence that some students feel will be a solution to their own wrath or their own problems. We have indicated in the pa'st that additional security, additional police, whatever is necessary, will be utilized. Our form of government guarantees that we have certain freedoms, and tragically those freedoms do give an opportunity to those who want to violate the law and use violence in just a split second; an opportunity to commit that violence. The only sure or certain way to make certain that there is no violence, is to remove freedom from everyone. I don't think we want to take that approach.

Information to the Board. cont' cL

b

i‘ !{

i; g

q

The building administrators, the Central Office staff, and this Board of Education have always indicated that those that perpetrate such violence, carry weapons, attack other students; after due process, have no place in the Oklahoma City j; School System. We have been in contact with Associate District Judge Hunter who works primarily with the Juvenile Division. We are exploring the possibility with Judge Hunter of possibly even being on the scene with representatives from his court because the students who are perpetrating the violence for the most part can legally be classified as juveniles; they are under 18 years of age. Judge Hunter wants to explore the possibility, with the representatives of this school system, with representatives of the Police department, to. see about being on the scene, viewing the situation, evaluating these situations, and possibly even. conducting hearings and taking action or revoking probation status of those juveniles who could be considered "wards of the Court"; those that are on a probationary status. This situation has been tried in certain school systems in !; Virginia and the Washington, D. C. area. ii

h

We are not committed to it completely; however, the attitude of some student s is that I am a juvenile and I cannot be touched by the law, because they can be touched by the juvenile courts.

p Judge Hunter has an advantage in dealing with juveniles; he can open his hearings; p he can have them closed. I do want to comment that we are exploring this possib bility and certainly this school system is committed, and I am certain Judge y Hunter's court would certainly be along the same lines that "every student have y due process." But no longer can we contend and indicate that just additional p security or additional police will solve the problem. I think this is a new !> approach; the times and conditions certainly require this new approach. And I 0 think when many of the young people find they might possibly be dealing with P juvenile court which can take somewhat immediate action and not have their wrist ii "slapped," have their parents come down and pick them up, that there is a possibil-p ity that this might be a solution to our problem. We want to observe due process p for every student in this school system, but I.think this administration is h committed to using every resource that is available to make certain that those y students who want to go to school and have a peaceful school, not be subject to h physical harm, that they have such opportunity as they attend the Oklahoma City ■! School System. P

Motion carrie d unanimously on roll call. HEARING OF DELEGATIONS Dr. Lillard - You will recall that at an earlier date we received correspondence from a gentleman representing The Black Dispatch and another member of the community, asking the Board to give consideration to naming the Douglass Stadium in honor of retired coach and principal,.Mr. Moses Miller. Following the last Board Meeting I did communicate to the group that the Board would be meeting today and if they desired to present a petition, we would be happy to receive it. I haven't received an answer to my correspondence, however, Mr. McCray, I believe you have been contacted.

Mr. McCray - Yes, Russell Perry contacted me and said that they had received the invitation and certainly would like to present their petition at today's meeting. (Mr. McCray called for Mr. Perry, however, Mr. Leonardo DeBose came to the podium and read a resolution and submitted a petition of names in the interest of naming the Douglass High School Stadium in honor of Mr. Moses F. Miller. Mr. DeBose introduced himself as representing The Black Dispatch and other interested community citizens on behalf of renaming the Douglass High School Stadium for Moses F. Miller.)

Mr. McCray - I have received a communication; several students are here from the John Marshall High School asking to speak on behalf of Miss Daugherty.

I am sorry that I have to tell you that we cannot allow you to speak today, but if you would present your request at the time required by the policy of the Board, we would be most happy, as we always are, to hear young people speak to the members of the Board.

NEW BUSINESS

i

Mr. Knight - We have a policy regarding people who wish to be heard. I haven't seen a printed copy since we revised it, but as I recall, it doesn't state anything about the fact that if we have an organization that wants to be heard, whether or not we will hear from many representatives from that organization or whether in fact we will hear from one person. We could find ourselves in a situation where we would be hearing from a lot of people from the same organization making the same case. If my recollection of that policy is true, I would like to make a motion that we do not delimit that; we dealt with some other.

i Discussion Re i Hearing of j Delegations

Mr. McCray - My memory is also hazy on the wording of the policy. Dr. Lillard - Mr. Ginn, do you recall on our policy of groups appearing before the Board, is there any limitation of only one representative from one group?

!! |! ii P H

* |

i | 1 j i

Mr. Ginn - Our policy does state that a representative of the organization should be the speaker for the group; a representative should be selected to speak before the Board.

y

ij B h b

Mrs. York - What if each of these people from each organization appears and speaks 1 as an individual. I don't want someone speaking for me whatever the occasion might | be. This is taking away an individual's right that this Board has no right to do. | If that is the policy of this Board then I would like to make a motion. Let's clarify, what is policy and what isn't and not change it every time the Board meets. I j ' i Mr. McCray - Mr. Ginn, would you read your response again. ’ I

j| Mr. Ginn - I do not have a copy of the policy here at this meeting; however, recalling \ *! the wording of the policy - an organization wishing to be heard by the Board will j select a speaker, a delegate to speak for the group. i P Jj j |S Mrs. York - But if each person sends in a request to speak, then they would have to | ii be listed as an individual. ' 1 f; ’ p ' ! [ Mr. McCray - For a number of years, and particularly two or three years ago, we had I ■ many repetitions; a number of people were speaking on the same subject. I think as , j it has been expressed, the feelings of the Board were that the group should have a | || speaker and not take the time of the Board and everybody speaking on the same" subject. j ii

Mrs. York - I have seen people yield time and give it to another person, and we have sat here and allowed that to happen, and I know exactly what you are fixing to do today, and I know why, and I don't like it. Mr. McCray - Mrs. York, I have no indication that anything of an ulterior motive is

transpiring.

I think everybody has a right to be heard.

Mrs. York - I would like to move that this Board hear any individual that comes before before the Board to speak that has their request in within the given time. I am opposed to that, too, but it is i+8 hours. Mr. Estes - Your motion states that this Board will hear anyone who makes the proper request, is that right?

I second the motion.

Mr. McCray - Then I am confused; I think that is the way it is.

’'w''

| i I

Mrs. York - Then why is he just telling us that we have to hear from a representative of the organization, if there is more than one?

Dr. Krob - If the individual makes an application, he will be heard.

MEETING OF SEPTEMBER 20, 1973 - CONT'D

! R- #37 Mr. English - I have no quarrel with today's publicity game that is being played here i Attorney Instruct by those that seek to show the teachers that this group is more militant than that group, but I do object when the same people try to picture this Board as the bad guys; I ed to Prepare that we (the Board) are somehow trying to interfere in the selection of a teacher : for Hearing in negotiating unit. Quite to the contrary, this Board has set up rules of fair play for District Court i 1 an orderly selection process, guaranteeing a long list of rights for teachers. A newspaper has quoted a spokesman for one group as saying the basic question is that of interference - that, "big brother is trying to get into employee affairs..." Let's take a look at the facts - at the 33 points. In our policy we have instructed our Administrators to "treat each teacher organization equally and fairly, without showing or expressing favoritism." Is that "big brotherism?" Our policy states that teacher organizations shall be permitted to make announcements over the public address system to inform teachers of ACT or AFT meetings. Is that interference?

We say that signed authorization forms may be solicited in school buildings at any time exeept when the teacher has responsibility for instruction or supervision of students. Is that "big brother" at work?

Our policy guarantees each organization the use of school buildings for meetings. Is that interference? This policy also states that lists of teachers, their addresses and phone numbers shall be made available simultaneously to each group. Does that sound like an interferring "big brother?" Each group is given the right of inspecting the authorization cards for validity and is guaranteed a hearing on any challenge. Is that interference?

The remainder of the policy is in the same vein. This policy was designed to try to assure that no one group would have an unfair advantage. I would hope that the competing parties here today would be the first to endorse such a policy. Without this policy, we could have chaos in the selection of a bargaining unit. ’ What would happen if two groups both presented authorization cards which they claimed had been signed by a majority of the teachers? Some would have us believe this Board simply would be powerless to determine the facts. Yet we would have the responsibility of recognizing a group as the proper representative. The legislature has given this Board the responsibility and with it goes the authority. It would be unfair to ask someone to referee a ball game and then not let him enforce the rules of fair play.

; i

i

! \ ; i | i i

?

Now to return this issue from the publicity arena to the arena of the courtroom, I move that the Board instruct its attorney to vigorously defend this policy by the legal methods he believes best.

j j

Mr. Estes - Mr. President, it seems as though we have, as Dr. Lillard says, opened up another "can of worms." How many teachers, certified teachers do we have in the school system?

Dr. Lillard - ...seriously, Mr. Estes, I said on television we had between 2500 and 2600, but then you have to get into definition of a teacher by the policies adopted by the Board and by the State Law, and they are two different things. (Mr. Estes referred to the number of signatures already solicited in support of each organization as stated by the speakers.) Mr. Estes continued - I deeply regret that this thing even.came up; the fact that Paul made the motion. I have served on this Board 12 years and we have recognized the teachers who came to us and discussed salaries, and working conditions to some extent. Mr. English came up with this policy, this proposal, this 33-point proposal. Many of the points I didn't like then, and many of the points I dont like now. If I had it to do over again, I would not vote for it (the 33 points). I voted for it because I thought we were in good faith, to try to let one group designate who they wanted to represent them and come up with guidelines, and I didn't know that we were going to create problems. I defy any teacher or any person in this room to say that I have ever influenced, discussed with any of them to join the AFT or ask them to join ACT. I think it is their prerogative; it should be their desire to get someone who they think is the best to serve them. I thought we all decided, or five of us of the seven, decided the 33-point policy was for the betterment of the school system. I voted for it, and it was taken to court, and the court is going to rule on it on the 8th of October. I would like to make a substitute motion to Mr. Engl 5 sb's motion, and I am

> j

i

Mrs. York - I would like to make a substitute motion.

j '

i

Personally, I believe the time has come for creation of a public employee's election commission, as other progressive states have. This commission could operate and supervise the election machinery for selection of bargaining units, and hear complaints about irregularities. As a matter of fact, I am told there were attempts to insert such provisions in the teacher negotiations bill when it was before the legislature. However, the language was., killed by the same lobbying influence which sought passage of the Act. I also favor elimination of the requirement in the present law for signed authorization cards. I don't believe it is any of my business to know how a particular teacher votes. This problem could be solved democratically by the simple procedure of having an impartial commission conduct an election by secret ballot.

Mr. Knight -* I will second the motion.

MEETING OF SEPTEMBER 20, 1973 - CONT'D doing this, again, with reservations and with the utmost thinking and respect for both organizations; they have their good.points and I am sure some bad points in both, but they are sincere I am sure, and I have got teachers that I feel very kindly and very friendly with on both sides. I am still not going to tell you how to vote, or suggest to you how to vote; that is your privilege, and I want you to exercise it. I only want to see an election that is honest and fair, and if the Classroom Teachers win, power to them; if the AFT wins, power to them, and I as one Board Member will go along with them and recognize them. I move that the Oklahoma City Board of Education take no action on the recognition of a professional organization until the District Court has ruled on the legality of our policies. I move we instruct our attorney to prepare for the October 8th hearing in District Court. Then let the Court decide which way it is, if we are in error; if we have violated the law then it is up to them to decide. If we are in violation of the State Law, the Court will then tell us whether we were right in setting up this 33 points or not. I make this as a motion and hopefully that I will get a second.

Mr. English - I will second his substitute motion.

Mr. McCray - You have heard the substitute motion that Mr. Estes made that was seconded by Mr. English that we not do anything until October 8, and have the Court decide about the legality. Mr. English - But our attorney will prepare the case. Mr. McCray - Yes. I believe a very important principle is at issue here. I think this Board adopted a "Policy on Designation of a Negotiations Organization by Professional Educators" on July 24, 1973- At that meeting, I think we all were aware, and I take the prerogative that the Chairman of the Board usually would go along with what the majority has expressed, and at the time that the vote was taken, the members of the Board had certainly made known their wishes on the policies on the designation. Certainly, I think the teachers should make the decision. I voted on a designation of which since I have regretted. I think some of the items which I called attention to at the Board Meeting at that time - there were different ones to which I disagreed. I think if I correctly recall, Dr. Lillard gave some information expressing what he thought was his conception of what was correct or incorrect. Nevertheless, the Board made that decision. Our attorney advised us that such action was within the. legal Jurisdiction of this Board to take that action. A professional organization has chosen to question the action of the Board in court. Neither party has the authority to decide what is legal and what is not legal. Since the legal question has been raised, the court should decide the question.

Mrs. York - I didn't vote "no" against that 33-point plan, and I didn't abstain from it to see my picture on the tube that night. I felt as I do now that the darn thing was wrong and it still is. There are too many barriers there for the teachers that I think they should not have to contend with. So, therefore, I would like to table this motion to a later date.

Mr. McCray - Mrs. York has made a motion to table, do I hear a second? The motion dies for the want of a second. We will vote on the substitute motion first. Are there any other discussions? Dr. Moon - I would like to hear it read again.

Mr. Ginn - I move that the Oklahoma City Board of Education take no action on the recognition of a professional organization until the District Court has ruled on the legality of our policies. I move we instruct our attorney to prepare for the October 8th hearing in District Court. Six members voted "Aye" on the substitute motion, and one member (Mrs. York) voted "Nay." The motion carried.

Mrs. York - Mr. McCray, I would like to make a motion that we recognize the ACT as the bargaining agent for the school system since they have the cards, and I would also move that we strike down the 33-point plan. And I have sat here and listened to each of you Board Members all but say that you are sorry that you voted for this; now everybody at some time in their life makes mistakes. Now this is the time to correct one of those mistakes. If you are sorry for it, at least you can show it now. Dr. Krob - Mrs. York, I have some reservations on this thing also, the time period, both parties want secret ballots, etc. But I think regardless of whatever action the Board took on this thing today, that there probably would be some further action by one party or another, and it is my feeling that the Board has taken the proper action.

Mrs. York - I just think we are overriding the State Statutes and everything else by adopting a policy like this. It has been wrong from its birth, and I can see no good in pursuing it and going into court with it. (cont’d)

LEGAL AND FINANCIAL REPORTS Mr. Johnson reported as follows:

Attorney's Report

You asked me during your last meeting, as to whether the ACT Restraining Order would prohibit the Board from allowing salary deductions for organization dues and group insurance premiums for members of the AFT. I researched the matter, prepared a written memorandum and delivered it to Mr. McCray Monday morning (September 2U, 1973)- I believe he distributed copies of it to members of the Board. (Copy on file as attachment to ___ permanent minutes as follows.)

MEMORANDUM September 21, 1973

TO:

C. B. MC CRAY, PRESIDENT BOARD OF EDUCATION

FROM:

HARRY JOHNSON, ATTORNEY -

SUBJECT:

PAYROLL DEDUCTION FOR DUES AND GROUP HEALTH INSURANCE PREMIUMS OF AFT MEMBERS

At Its meeting Thursday, September 20, 1973, the Board of Educa-

tion asked me whether I thought the Temporary Restraining Order in the

ACT case prohibited the Board from granting requests of teacher members of AFT for deductions of organization dues and group health insurance premiums from salary payments.

The answer is "No". The Restraining Order restrains the Board from,

"commencing or implementing the election process, issuing designation cards or in any way proceeding with the mechanics and procedures in the 'Policy on Designation of a Negotiations Organization by Professional Educators’ as adopted by the Oklahoma City School Board on the 24th day of July, 1973, until further order of this Court".

(cont 'd)


307

MEETING OF OCTOBER 1, 1973 - CONT'D Attorney's Report - cont'd

si The practice of payroll deductions has been existent in the Okla-

homa City School District for years. The District has allowed deductions for hospitalization insurance and credit union payments for more than 15

years. In 1964-65, the District added payroll deductions for tax-sheltered annuities and the United Fund. In 1971-72, the District added deductions

for professional dues which went to ACT.

I do not believe that payroll deductions of a nature which had previously been approved by the Board of Education were within the scope of this Restraining Order placed on the Board by ACT.

(2)

Subsequently, the AFT filed, a lawsuit and. asked, for and. was granted., without notice to us or an opportunity to be heard., a Temporary Restraining Order directing the Board to make deductions for members of the AFT.

(3)

Later, in the ACT case, the OEA filed a petition for intervention to intervene in the case as a party plaintiff, and again without notice to us or an opportunity to be heard, the same judge issued another exparte order, allowing the OEA to intervene in the case as a party plaintiff. There has been no change to this date in the October 8, 1973 date for hearing the Application for a Preliminary Injunction.

Mr. Johnson responded to questions and comments by members of the Board.

R. #440 Professional Dues and Group Insurance Premium "CheckDff Rights" Authorized

Mr. McCray - (to Mr. Johnson) Do we need Board action for the deductions of the insurance and also the dues?

Mr. Johnson - I would recommend formal action.

i

Dr. Krob - Mr. Chairman, in that regard, in keeping with Mr. Johnson's response to the Board's instructions of September 20, 1973? and consistent with his memorandum of September 21, 1973; to the President of the Board: I move that effective this date, upon receipt of a written request (a request dated October 1, 1973 later) from the President of either and/or both teacher organizations, the Association of Classroom Teachers of Oklahoma City, Inc., and/or the Oklahoma City Federation of Teachers (these two organizations only), that the Board authorize professional dues and group insurance premium "check-off rights" be granted to either or both of these teacher organizations submitting such request, compatible with current payroll procedures, for any of the members (teachers) of these organizations who request and authorize such service. The motion was seconded by Mr. English. present voted "Aye".

On roll call to the motion, all members

Mrs. York - (to Mr. Johnson) You mentioned that if the Court does adopt this plan, that we will have to abide by it, or modify it, but we will still have it; it will still be a court order and we cannot do away with this 33-point plan completely. Is this right?

Mr. Johnson - What I intended to say was that depending on the terms of the Court's order; assuming that the Court would say that the policy was alright, it was a valid policy, and that's all - I think the Board could change it any time. It would be like any other policy. Mrs. York - Could we eliminate it completely?

Mr. Johnson - Yes, it would be just like any other policy you adopt. You could rescind it, assuming that the Court's Order did not prohibit rescinding.

After additional inquiry, Mrs. York asked - If we wanted to today, could we abolish the plan? Mr. Johnson - Yes, I think you could.

Motion to Abolish Policy on Designation | of a Negotiations j Organization by ! Professional Members of the.Board responded to Mrs. York’s, motion .as to its feasibility .at .this time, the possibility of the 33-point plan needing modification, and other. Following iEducators________ the discussion, there being no second to the motion, Mr. McCray declared that "the motion dies for the want of a second."

Mrs. York continued - I would like to move that we do just that, because I think that here everyone of you said you do not like cburt orders, and do not like to live by a court order, and we might just be doing that. So, on second try, I would like to move that we abolish the 33-point plan.

Mr. Thomas Walsh gave a routine report for the firm of Thomas and Company, and responded to an inquiry from Mr. Knight.

I Auditors'

Mr. Knight - (to Mr. Walsh) Do you have any recommendations? There is no management letter with our audit? Everything is perfect; so there is no need for any changes to occur?

i j s

Mr. Walsh - We feel that the Oklahoma City Independent School District 89 has one of the strongest, if not the strongest, accounting departments, business offices of any district that we are or have been connected with; and we feel that.there are really no areas that are in need of any great improvement. Of course, we work each month with the Chief Accountant,, people in the Accounting Department, the Treasurer, and as questions arise we try to solve any problems before they actually become problems. If there is a question as to which is the better way to approach a particular item, we sit down and we try to discuss it and work it out in advance so that it will not become a problem that we will have to look back on and try to find a remedy for.

Dr. Lillard reported as follows:

(a)

Report Due to the Federal Court November 1, 1973 - A report is due to the Federal Court on or before November 1, 1973- I won't go into all of the exacting details, but this report is required by a Federal Court Order. We do have to list the enrollment, the racial composition by school - each school in the Oklahoma City School District. I think one of tie most detailed examples of the report is where we have to list the race of each pupil by classroom in the Oklahoma City School System, and we have over 2,300 classroom teachers. On the elementary level where many of the

teachers do stay with the group the entire day - the listing is not quite

as difficult. But on the secondary level where a teacher is teaching five, and occasionally six, different time blocks, then for each teacher you have a racial ; breakdown of each of those time blocks in which they have a different group of student^ It does require a considerable amount of work by our data processing department, but ■ most of the information is being gathered at the present time and ready to be printed, ij Also, we are required to issue a statement of facts concerning our transportation p system; the facilities of the school system, the cafeterias, the gymnasium; are they

operated on a basis of desegregation. Also, we have to inform the Court if we have sold any equipment or materials that are valued at more than $500-00. It does require a considerable amount of work on the part of the staff, even though the report || basically is statistical in nature. Again, the staff and I will be gathering the datajj prepare the report; before it is submitted to the Court, copies will be given to the b members of the Oklahoma City Board of Education. Upon approval and direction, your Attorney will file the report with the Court. This is something much like previous y action the Board has taken. The Board should review the report, approve it as to i! content, and instruct the Attorney to submit the report to the Federal Court. This -i is something that will require an additional amount of effort and time and consideration by the staff. ||

(b)

Enrollment Data - We did gather an enrollment report as of last Friday. I am pleased to report that our enrollment has passed 56,000. You will recall that y we were predicting an enrollment of 57^100. We were predicting 57^000 students; i| we have approximately 56,400 enrolled at the present time. We have achieved a to within 1.2$ of our predicted enrollment. Our 57>OOO predicition would reflect a loss of 2,000 pupils from the previous year. To come within 985$ "to 99$ of 1! your predicted enrollment is something that we should take some pride in. The jj kindergarten enrollment is almost identical with the previous year, which is contrary to most national trends. Birth rates are declining across the country; typically, younger families are moving out of urban communities to the suburbs, y but our kindergarten enrollment seems to be holding up quite well, almost j) identical to last year. The greatest amount of decrease will probably be in the ij K through 4 schools and also the middle schools. Those will experience the ji greatest loss of the 2,000 that we were predicting for the entire system. The Fifth Year Centers have in attendance more pupils than they did last year. The Fifth Year Centers have reflected a growth of almost 100 pupils. The racial tj composition, percentage of blacks has dropped about 4 percentage points in the jl Fifth Year Centers. On our high school enrollment, we are almost within about i 350 of our predicted enrollment. Those students who have attended the high | schools, who have some commitments, some loyalty to that school, are certainly ;i more inclined to stay in enrollment and attend the school to which they have I. been assigned. On the high school level, I note with interest that the racial I composition of Northeast High School is majority white; the percentage of blacks is approximately 48$ at Northeast High School; Douglass High School, the (j percentage of blacks is 50.2$. When you have a pupil population 50$ of one race, it is rather difficult to determine which one is in the majority, and i| which one is in the minority. The enrollment at Douglass High School is very slightly above what we had predicted for this school year . Some of our schools j! are below our original estimates, but Douglass High School is just very slightly ii above what we had originally predicted. Most of the middle schools have experienced some decline. We will probably have at least one, possibly two other Ij additional enrollment data reports to present to the Board. We will go to about October 17 as a date to print out much of the material that will go in the report to the Court. It does take a few days to assemble these data and prepare |i the report. ■; ' !!

1973 United Appeal Campaign - Our 1973 United Appeal Campaign Drive has begun. We do have a quota or goal, the Oklahoma City School System, of $64,000.00.

successful United Appeal Campaign. With this being the first time we have received warrants since we began our campaign, I think most of our employees || will commence their participation effective today. I would like to comment that || it is on a voluntary basis; we do think the United Appeal is important; we do li encourage each and every employee to participate in the United Appeal, but, again) it is voluntary and no one can force anyone to participate in the program. | (d)

Price Adjustment for Gasoline - Late information that I didn't have time to include in the Agenda, Item (d) under the Superintendent's Report - Oklahoma City is fortunate in that Gulf Oil Company has been a very dependable supplier of gasoline to this school district. We did have a quotation; Gulf stuck with that quotation; that date has expired, and I think many of us are aware of the action of the Cost of Living Council in Fhase IV; of the various prices, ceilings and such as that, but I would like to report to the Oklahoma City Board of Education that Gulf Oil Company has indicated they will be raising the price of gasoline. They will continue to supply us, which is one of the important things, but the increase will be approximately of 1 cent per gallon. I think our quotation previously on Regular gasoline was 11.340; that doesn't include the tax. The price will be raised to 11.620 per gallon for Regular, not including the tax.


310

MEETING OF OCTOBER 1, 1973 - CONT'D

The Premium gas will increase from 13.19^ per gallon to 13.47^. I think one of the pleasant aspects of making such a report to the Board is that the increase is that small and the supplier will continue to furnish the fuel to the Oklahoma City School System. This is a matter of information; however however, if the Board does approve the Superintendent's Report, •then I would assume that you are giving us permission to continue to receive the: fuel from the Gulf Oil Company at this very slight increase in price.

iInformation to !the Board ii----------------------------------------------------------cont'd I

i f

Dr. Krob - Was there a time period, on this; I didn't hear you say? Drâ– Lillard - Mr. Ginn, how long will this continue?

Mr. Ginn - We did not receive assurance of receiving gasoline for the entire year at the new price. Dr. Lillard - I thinkjust accept it, and they would guidelines offered by the be furnished to the Board

!

as long as they will furnish it at this price that we should notify us any time there would be any increase within the Cost of Living Council. Then that information, again, would of Education.

Mrs. York - (referring to United Appeal Campaign) I have had some questions raised why do you take___ , why can you take it out of the teachers' salaries for United Appeal and not for these other organizations as they come along throughout the year? i

U

Dr. Lillard - Basically, we follow the salary deduction plan on United Appeal, (by Board action we provide payroll deductions during February, March and April, an equal amount in each of six warrants) because this is representing several community service agencies, and we are able to provide this service.

Dr. Lillard additionally explained the procedure used for "drives", employee participation and other. Mrs. York additionally discussed the subject and made inquiry regarding teacher reaction to "drives" and salary deductions from employees' wages. Dr. Lillard responded. Dr. Lillard responded to additional questions and comments hy members of the Board.

Mr. Estes - Are you asking for approval from this Board for this information pertaining to the gasoline?

Dr. Lillard - Yes.

Mr. Knight - I so move (to give instructions to proceed to work with Guld Oil Company to continue to supply the fuel).

I

MEETING OF OCTOBER 1, 1973 - CONT'D

R. fAS Motion Re a Medical Transfer

I

NEW BUSINESS

ij

Following Mr. McCray's inquiry for New Business to cone before the Board, Mrs. York stated -- Yes - I have talked to Dr. Shell about this, and I don't know what he has received, but I have talked to several people in our schools about it and I am still compelled to bring it before the Board, and I don't mean, Dr. Shell, to go over your head if that is what I am doing. But I would like this Board to approve a transfer for a black girl that has been transferred to Grant High School through this last little reassignment bit that we have had. The girl is emotionally disturbed; she has been in Coyne Campbell Mental Hospital, and has resorted to "child bedwetting," etc. She is an A and B student when she is feeling her best, and the mother feels that if she could have her near home at Northeast High School where she could be near some of her friends and family, that the child would get along alright. Now I do have documents stating that the child has been in Coyne Campbell, and I am awaiting her family doctor's report now. But the child has been out of school since the little racial flare-up at Grant, and I feel that she needs to be back in school, and I would plead with this Board at this time, as I make the motion to give the child a transfer back to Northeast High School. I feel like we owe this to this type of child, I don't care who they are, be they white or black, if they are emotionally disturbed to the point that they have been in a mental hospital. I think that it is cruel of this Board not to give a transfer to them; so I would move that this Board furnish the lady a transfer, and I do not want to call names under the circumstances.

i < jj s;

I

Mr. Estes - A question to Mrs. York - did this mother ask (Dr. Shell) for a transfer?

Mrs. York - Yes.

p

Mr. Estes - Did he deny the transfer?

i |

Mrs. York - In essence, yes; they are researching it again, but you know how long it takes to go through these things, and she feels that it would be very urgent that the child get back in school, and that this would help her.

5

I j

i

Mr. McCray - Since these questions are being asked to support a second then we will allow those. Mr. Estes, certainly, you have made the correct question. Dr. Lillard should advise us about the medical review.

i |

!

Dr. Lillard - This is information for the Board to consider this item. You are all ij aware that this Board of Education established a Medical Review Committee�. ■I think jj Board Members did not feel they were qualified to maybe pass judgment on the physical or the emotional condition of a person making application for a transfer under those ij

conditions. The Board established a Medical Review Committee which performs a service without being paid for their services. Members of that committee are: Dr. Gloria Rogers, Dr. Jackie Wilson, Dr. Marilyn Porter, Dr. James A. Cox, Jr., and Dr. Armond H. Start. It a patron submits a request for a transfer based on medical.reasons, y then they are asked to submit substantiating documents from their doctor, then it || is judged by this committee. Supportive medical records were not submitted to the Medical Review Committee to make a decision. The Medical Review Committee had considered the case, the application, and indicated that the transfer should not be || granted. Dr. Shell depends on the advice and counsel of the Medical Review Committee.!; Whether the patron is furnishing additional information to the Medical Review Committee at this time, I don't know. That is sort of the basis of the formation of y your Medical Review Committee. They, in turn, advise and counsel with Dr. Shell, j| and then the decision is made there.

Mrs. York - One of the doctors on the Medical Review Board happened to be the girl's

ji

Dr. Lillard - I can't speak for the psychiatrist involved, but I am certain if it were ethical and professional, then he would share that professional advice with the other doctors who are members of the Medical Review Committee and he certainly would be one aware of the young lady's emotional condition.

j t ! j | I i

doctor in Coyne Campbell Hospital, so he is very much aware the child had an emotional problem. You can't get in Coyne Campbell just by going and entering yourself in there; you have to be referred by somebody.

I i i

!> jl

Mrs. York - We are getting other medical information from the family doctor, and it seems to me like just certifying the fact the girl had been in Coyne Campbell would be enough for her to get a transfer on; simply because you do not get in there just for a rest; you have to be referred by a doctor there. Also, this doctor that is on the Medical Review Board, there happens to be a difference because of a personality clash there, and I happen to know this because the mother grew up with him and since childhood there has been a personality clash there. I think it is just a bunch of nonsense when a child has been in a mental hospital and you can't make one transfer to get the child back. Mr. McCray - Do I hear a second to Mrs. York's motion?

Dr. Kroh - These transfers were all from Douglass. Mrs. York - Well, then, I don't know how she got there, hut she was transferred from Northeast to Grant. I don't think it would be justice to the child to give her namenow.

After further discussion by members of the Board, Dr. Krob asked - Mrs. York, would you amend your motion that if documentary evidence is resubmitted to the Medical ReviewBoard, and if they approve it, that she be allowed a transfer?

Mrs. York - Not the Medical Review Board because I don't think they would. I think i it should be this Board's decision. It is up to us. It is within our power to do ; it, and I think we should. It is our duty and our obligation; the child is outof 5 school, she is ill, and she needs to be in school. And I think it is our duty and obligation to see that she goes to school. i

Mr. McCray - Dr. Shell, would you as briefly as

b

Dr. Shell - The application was made on medical reasons without supporting documents, ; and what we asked when we presented this to the Medical Review Committee; they needed; more information; they felt like that there should be an update. The child was in Coyne Campbell about two years ago, and the committee felt like there had not been an update of the information. So when we requested this (update), it never came. I have been in conversation with the mother, Just Friday, after Mrs. York called me. I had tried to call her Thursday. She presented a letter (her own letter) requesting; this, and as far as I know, she was supposed to bring the additional information by my office today. I plan to resubmit the information under appeal from her doctor, from her family doctor, and see what they (the committee) would say regarding an appeal of this particular petition. As to the Medical Review Committee, I keep all of those requests in folders as to the committee's action, the date they were acted on, etc. I record the questions that were raised in the meeting, but I do not serve as a part of the committee. I coordinate the effort, and then take their recommendations and. then act on them appropriately. Some of those we are able to work out arrangements at another school; if they don't feel that physically or emotionally that they have justifiable reasons, then we work out another arrangement. In this particular situation (the subject of discussion today) we offered to transfer her to Classen or some other school that would be closer, if it would be helpful under special adjustment. She didn't feel like that this was appropriate. The court ordered school is Grant, and the school that she is coming from would be Northeast, It's a matter of going against what the Court Order stated, and of course the procedure that was devised here was one to be able to defend to whomever would question the policies and the procedures that we operate under.

Mr. McCray - May I have a clarification on it to say this; are you suggesting to the Review Board that they approve it, by your motion, or will you accept the fact of the Review Board's recommendation?

Dr. Krob - I will take their recommendation, unless they do approve a transfer, that she not be allowed a transfer.

On October 15, 1973, I filed an answer in the University Heights School (quiet title) case, which is, as you will recall, an action seeking to have a part of the building site to be rbverted to the heirs of the original grantor. By filing an answer, the case is now at issue and will probably be heard shortly. The main question involved in the case is whether the school district's action in not conducting school in the building the past two or three years, is sufficient to cause the reversion of title to the heirs of the original owner. The case does not involve the actual site on which the building is located. It is an "L" shaped piece of land along the north and west of the original site. It does not affect the building itself.

Mrs. York - I have a question if no one has anything pertaining to what he has just mentioned; it is a legal question I would like for him to clear up for me pertaining to school business. I would like an explanation of Section 149 of "the Oklahoma School Code. At Mrs. York's request, Mr. Johnson read from Section 149 of School Laws of Oklahoma (Sectarian or Religious Doctrines - Forbidden to be Taught in Schools) as requested.

Mrs. York - Am I interpreting it right; that we may have voluntary prayer in school, and that we may have Bible reading from the Holy Scriptures? Mr. Johnson - Yes, the Supreme Court never did hold that you couldn't have prayers in the schoolroom. The Court held that you couldn't have a prayer that had been prescribed by a Board of Education. {

Mrs. York introduced and discussed a subject of students from an English class at Southeast High School attending a movie, in the north section of the city, "Jesus Christ Superstar"; the attendance during the school day, and the students having traveled from the school to the theater by school bus. She mentioned of having letters from ministers of various denominations, and expressed their response regarding the movie.

Mr. Shepard reported as follows: Per instructions from the Board at the meeting | of September 20, 1973, we have contacted the companies that were discussed; we sent a communication and outlined six areas where we thought that some type of

positive recommendations could be made. We asked that they respond, giving us an outline of an overview of this proposal; giving us some indication as to how long it would take them to do a study or do a survey based upon these six particular guidelines. We asked that they give us some indication about their credentials; their background of operation; their references; also the cost what our cost was to be. The proposals are to be submitted by November 2, which will give us an opportunity to review the content proposal and to, later, make recommendations.

Tax Levies

i

'

Previously, I had reported to the Board that the Oklahoma County Clerk had sent us a listing of the ad valorem tax levies of the various municipalities and also all of the school districts in Oklahoma County. It was interesting to note that the Oklahoma City School District has the lowest tax levy of all independent districts in Oklahoma County, with the exception of the Harrah School District. In many instances, the taxes paid by some residents of Oklahoma County and the Oklahoma City school districts are approximately half that being paid by some of the surrounding districts that have a very high tax rate. We are certainly pleased that this school district hasn't had to vote bond levies for the past several years, have been paying off other bond issues, and we voted maximum millage, but that the tax burden in the Oklahoma City School District is not quite as great as it is in some of the other school districts. .

Group Health Insurance Payroll Deductions for Administrative Group

| | > | | j ! ’ • | j

i j

We do have a formal request from an administrative group representing the principals, assistant principals, the basic nonteaching personnel of this school system,

requesting that they be permitted to have payroll deductions for group health j insurance premiums withheld from their warrants. This group will comprise ! approximately 150 or 200 employees of the school system. The company - Blue Cross■ and Blue Shield, has given a very fine quotation. The premium will be just about equal as to what they are paying at the present time for Bankers Fidelity, but to receive Bankers Fidelity they have to be a member of the Oklahoma Education Association. I can forward this request to the Oklahoma City Board of Education with a recommendation that we be consistent and provide the same benefits for employees -of our administrative group that we do for our classroom teacher j association groups. The premiums will be deducted from the warrants of the | employees. | A motion was made by Dr. Moon and seconded by Mr. English that the request by administrative employees for group health insurance payroll deductions be approved. The motion carried unanimously on roll call.

Letter from Office of Civil Rights

|

I did share with the members of the Board of Education a letter that I have received from Mr. Peter E. Holmes, Director, Office of Civil Rights, Washington, D. C. I would call to your attention the date on the letter, dated October 12, 1973I received the letter October 15, 1973- Please keep those two dates in mind. (Dr. Lillard read from the first paragraph of the letter. Copy of letter on file in office of the Clerk.) A very similar letter was sent to a member of Congress two weeks before I received the reply from Mr. Holmes. I wrote the letter on September 5, to Mr. Holmes saying that I thought we did qualify for ESAA funds in the amount of $900,000.00, and I thought the young men and women of this school system deserve these funds. It only took Mr. Holmes five weeks to answer my letter. I do plan to respond and remind Mr. Holmes that we still feel we qualify for ESAA funds; that we are complying with the Court Order; that we will be submitting a report to the Federal Court on or before November 1, and I would be happy to share with him if he so desires, our faculty assignments

MEETING OF OCTOBER 18, 1973 - CONT'D

In response to Miss Rogivue's presentation, Dr. Lillard stated, "Let me make just • a Brief comment or two and then we might call on Mr. Dipboye. I think the intent j of this Board, especially the administration, an employee of the Board, is to give additional emphasis and opportunity for the young women of this school system in athletic activities. And I noticed very recently, very fine newspaper and TV coverage and having the city-wide competition and champions; the intent and results should not he to impose a change in the program that is not acceptable to the teachers nor to the students. So possibly there is some misunderstanding | there. Mr. Dipboye, could you give us a brief explanation as to what are the i schedules for the girls?" | a

After remarks by Mr. Fred Schilling and Dr. Harold Crain regarding the South Oklahoma

i

City Stadium Board, the needs of the stadium, and some of the activities planned, appropriate remarks were made by Mr. Estes, Dr. Lillard, and Mr. McCray.

Mr. Schilling responded to comments and questions by members of the Beard. Mr. McCray - The Chair would entertain a motion that we allocate $15,000 this (1973_7^) year (for South Oklahoma City Stadium). Dr. Krob - Was there not $6500 carried over from last year?

Dr. Lillard

- Of the $10,000 budgeted, only $3500 of the amount was used.

i

Mr. Estes - I would like to make a motion, Mr. President, that we make itpossible i R. #^59 for $16,500 - the $6500 from last year and the $10,000 this year; see that theStadium | Allocation to Board is furnished that kind of money on the lighting of the stadium. South Oklahoma City Stadium Following comments by some members of the Board, Mr. Estes stated, "I will amend my Approved motion. I will make a motion that we see that the $30,000.00 is made available for the South Oklahoma City Stadium." Dr. Moon - The amount was $16,500 - I thought you said.

Mr. English - I would like to see a study made.

I 1

j

i

Dr. Moon - Why don't we just do that right now (approve the $16,500), Mr. Estes, and give us another month at least. You can't spend it that fast. Mr. Estes - All right, make it $16,500; I'll make a motion for $16,500. Dr. Moon - I will second the motion for $16,500.

I

Mr. English - I would like to make a substitute motion here, that we refer this to the staff, and ask them to get some quotations and a little study on this. Dr. Krob - It was my understanding from what Mr. Schilling said, was that they have some figures on the lighting, and so forth and so on; I wasn't sure, but I got the impression that the lighting itself would cost $30,000. Is that correct?

Mr. Schilling - Yes.

Dr. Moon - If they get the $16,500, and then something comes along and the money is

here and they need it, then we can do it.

Let's pass this motion and then____ .

imately 9^30 p.m., a boiler at Taft Middle School became overheated. We are fortunate in that in 1969, we had improved the boiler system at Taft Middle School;

we have three units. One unit is out of operation at the present time. Two of the three boilers are available for use. Unless we would have some very severely cold weather the next few months, the two boilers would adequately heat this building. We are in the process of working with the insurance company, making adjustments there, and as soon as additional information becomes available, we will report to the Board.

3.

Biannual Report - Federal Court - The Biannual Report to the Federal Court has been filed, and if Board Members have no objection, I would like to send a section of that report dealing with staff ratios to the Office of Civil Rights in Dallas, and in Washington, D. C. I think we are meeting the mandate of the present court order, that all of our certificated staff are racially balanced; and I will share that information with the Office of Civil Rights to see if they will reevaluate the application that we submitted on our ESAA grant. We have approximately 30 or 40 days to submit an application for an ESAA grant for 197^-75In my last letter to Peter Holmes, I indicated to him that I thought it would be an exercise in futility attempting to convince him that we were meeting the mandate of the court order, but I will share that information with the Office of Civil Rights and keep the Board informed if we miraculously hear anything from them.

4.

Food Service Management Survey Report - (Dr. Lillard asked Mr. Darrel Shepard to make a report to the Board regarding the Food Service Management Survey.)

Mr. Shepard reported as follows: Consistent with the guidelines that were set up, we have corresponded with the four companies that were contacted previously. (cont’d)

MEETING OF NOVEMBER 5, 1973 - CONT'D Information to the Board - contd.

Food Service Management Survey Report - cont'd All four companies have responded, two of the comapnies chose not to submit a proposal, and we do have proposals from two of the other companies. Currently, we are in the process of evaluating the proposals that we do have, and I think that by the next Board Meeting we will be able to have a recommendation as to what we might want to do in terms of these particular proposals from the companies involved. If a proposal be accepted by the Board, the project, could start in the second semester, sometime in January.

MEETING OF NOVEMBER 5, 1973 - CONT'D

Mr. Conine read, a prepared, statement as follows:

"The Association of Classroom Teachers of Oklahoma City hereby respectfully requests to be immediately recognized as the bargaining organization for the professional educators of Oklahoma City. "In compliance with the Statutes of the State of Oklahoma which states:

'The local board of education shall recognize a professional organization that secures authorization signed by a majority of the professional educators designating said organization as their representative for negotiation...' and further taking into consideration the stipulation in open court by the Board of Education as to the number of professional educators authorized to designate --

The Association of Classroom Teachers of Oklahoma City, hereby and at this time formally offers and agrees to tender to this Board for its reasonable inspection authorization cards obtained by said organization designating the Association of Classroom Teachers of Oklahoma City as the bargaining organization for negotiations for the majority of professional educators within this system."

Mr. Thomas Williams, Attorney for the American Federation of Teachers, was extended an invitation and also addressed the Board in relation to the same subject - authorization cards for designation of an organization for negotiations for professional educators. R. >73

Comments were made by Dr. Lillard and members of the Board, after which Mr. Estes made the following motion: I make a motion that we accept these cards from the ACT of approximately 1297 cards, for verification and authorization of signatures, and to report back to this Board as soon as possible; whether it takes three days, three weeks or regardless to how long it takes, but to check the names of each card, certify each card, to see if we have 1297 * If there are 1297 good signatures, I am ready to decide upon the Associate on of Classroom Teachers to represent the teachers of the Oklahoma City School System.

Motion to Accept Authorization Cards from Organizati ons

Mrs. York - Mr. Estes, I will second that if you will take off that time limitation. I think that those can be validated in much less length of time, like a day.

Mr. Estes - As soon as possible.

Mrs. York - I think they could be validated in one or two days. Mr. Estes - Whatever time it takes; I don't know how long it will take to verify 1297 signatures, but if it takes two hours or two days, or three days, to-notify back to the Board that if they do not have 1259^ then we will not____ , as far as I am concerned, will not recognize them as the bargaining agent or the representative of the teachers.

Mr. McCray - As I understand it, Mr. Estes, you are making the motion to accept the cards for verification of authority of signatures, and report back, of course, the administrative-staff will do it. Mr. Estes - I would suggest, Mr. President, that Dr, Shell be responsible for verification of these signatures. '

to check these.

Mrs. York - I would second your amendment to that; if they want to submit them to us, but I don't think we can force them. On roll call to Mr. English's amendment, all members voted "Aye". On roll call to the motion, all members voted "Aye".

Mrs. York remarked regarding a problem of head lice in the schools, with a suggestion that additional nurses be employed to check the head of each child in the Oklahoma City schools. i |

SPECIAL BUSINESS

! j

Mr. McCray stated the purpose of the meeting - To consider the report of staff -

veracity and authenticity of authorization forms submitted by the Association of Classroom Teachers and American Federation of Teachers.

•i

Following his statement, Mr. McCray asked for comments by Dr. Lillard. The Board at its November 5, 1973 meeting did instruct the staff to proceed with the verification of the authorization cards that were submitted by two organizations at that meeting. The staff certainly has been working full time on that report the past three days. ...Before I introduce Dr. Shell and ask him to present the report as compiled just a few minutes ago, there are certain comments that would be apropos to make at this time. Some comments may be a little repetitious, however I would like to make these to the Board, and to the staff, and to the employees and patrons of this school system before the Board gives any consideration to the data that Dr. Shell will be presenting.

!

ti

jj

i!

First, I think the Court did say that the Board's responsibility begins when you receive the designation cards, not before that time. Members of the staff have certainly performed their job diligently and as fairly as they possibly can. When you are considering an important item like this, there always will be room for second evaluations and criticisms, but nothing was done in secret. Representatives of both organizations, attorneys representing both organizations, were usually present. There should be little question about the validity of the data that is being presented to the Board this-afternoon.

j Purpose of i Meeting !f i !

\

! !

| Remarks j Dr. Lillard i | 1 | ; i

j

! | I i j

All of us have become more familiar with the Oklahoma School Code and possibly what ! it does or doesn't say. According to the School Code, the Board of Education shall recognize a professional organization that secures authorizations signed by a majority ■ of the professional educators, designating said organization as their representative i for negotiations.' Also, when an organization is selected to represent the professional! educators, the organizations must announce an election for the purpose of selecting j their negotiations team and must notify all professional educators of the school i system, of that election. Section 582 of the School Code points up something that | occasionally slips people's mind — once the organization has been designated, the i Board of Education or its duly designated representative must meet with the duly > designated representative organization and within 60 days work out a procedural agree- | ment before the actual process of negotiations can begin. It usually hasn't taken | 60 days to work out a procedural agreement, but that is the maximum time limit as I provided by the School Code.

! |i |l ij | i

I mentioned earlier that Dr. Shell and members of the staff were working "up to the very last minute"; cards were being presented — I believe, Monday, Tuesday, and as late as two or three o'clock this afternoon. There had to be a point where the report could be summarized for the benefit of the Board. Several things are apparent at the ! present time. One, that probably in the next session of the legislature, this section ! of the School Code will be amended because in some instances the code is vague or j nebulous. !

|

As the Board makes this important consideration this afternoon, I would suggest, I would recommend to the Board that from this day forward that this Board receive authorization cards from either or both organizations only when the Board is in

j

official session; that authorization cards or forms be submitted to the Clerk of the Board in view of the public as the Board is in official session. Otherwise, cards

Report Dr. Bill Shell

tomorrow morning, and it would he just an ever ongoing continuous process. As soon as the report would he completed, it would be somewhat out of date. That would certainly be one of my firm recommendations to the Board.

3

; Secondly, as the Board gives consideration to this important item, that when an organi-3 zation is recognized, even though it is not mentioned in the School Code, any recog3 nition must be for a given period of time. Whether a person is elected president of f the United States or governor of the State, or a member of this Board of Education, ; there has to be some specified period of time. One could conceive of the situation i where an organization would be recognized, and then possibly within a week or two, i with a shifting of cards, there could be a possibility that another organization could :i be chosen to represent the teachers. This could create such a state of limbo that the ; teachers would never know from month to month which organization represented them. When recognition is given to a professional organization, (and everything that I am 3 saying probably will be tested in court very soon) it should be for the school year, ;jwhere there can be some continuity to the program. 3 7

| i l j i j

Finally, when this Board does recognize an organization, if that is its decision; if it recognizes one organization, the Board can rest assured that the opposing organi-i zation will be filing suit not later than the earliest date that the court opens, probably the following Monday morning. If the Board recognizes neither organization, 3 then we could assume that there would be quite a gathering, quite a bit of pressure ii placed on all teachers to make certain that there is an organization that can represent;! the teachers in the process of negotiations. 3

j I i | . i f j : I

The Board and the administration have.been accused of many things. The thing that has been most consistent, is that this Board or this administration would prefer that no ? organization be selected to represent teachers. I have never made such a statement 3 to any member of my staff, and I have never heard any member of this Board say that 3 they would prefer that no organization be selected' to represent teachers in. the process; of negotiations. ; ■! I would like to present Dr. Bill Shell, Director of Research for the Oklahoma City School System, to present the report which reflects approximately three days' work 3 of Dr. Shell and many other members of the Central Office staff. 3

Mr. McCray, Dr. Lillard, and members of the Board, I would like to respectfully submit the report of the examination team. The report begins by making a preface or' summary statement. I think that it would be proper for me to just read portions of this report for those who don't have copies and would like to know some of the background. First, this report is submitted based on information received prior to 2:45 p.m., November 8, 1973* All materials presented by the Association of Classroom Teachers and the American Federation of Teachers after 2:45 p.m. are being accepted but will not have been analyzed and/or validated by the examination team.

On Monday, November 5? 1973, the Oklahoma City Board of Education received designation .J cards and/or sheets from representatives of the American Federation of Teachers and -j the Oklahoma City Association of Classroom Teachers. The Board instructed the Superintendent and members of his staff to analyze, verify signatures, and tabulate 3 information submitted, and to report the results to the Board of Education. This report: includes the description of the analysis and tabulation procedure and a summary of the : findings. Members of the examination team were Mr. Hugh Ginn, Mr. David Light, myself, Dr. Tom Smith, and also several members of the secretarial staff. 3 The meeting schedules were as follows: At 8:30 a.m., Tuesday morning, November 6, 1973, a meeting of the examination team and the Superintendent began to make decisions related to organization and the procedures to be followed in the process. Analysis was begun at 10:30 a.m., November 6, continuing to 4:30 p.m., with one hour recess for lunch. The. analysis continued Wednesday, November 7, at 8:30 a.m., and at approximately 4:00 p.m., was completed.

Some of the special considerations for tabulating the results of cards and sheets submitted were as follows:

ii Before examination sessions were begun representatives of the American Federation of 3 Teachers and the Association of Classroom Teachers were present to observe the 3 proceedings. The designation cards and/or sheets submitted to the Board of Education !; were kept in a locked file in the storage vault at all times except during working periods. No examination was begun unless representatives of both organizations were present. Explanations of the procedures to be followed were given and answers were !; given to questions posed by representatives of the American Federation of Teachers h and the Association of Classroom Teachers. Sessions were open at all times to members « of the news media. Careful considerations were given to accuracy. Speed of tabulation^ was very important, but was secondary if accuracy was impaired. When questions arose |i regarding the validity of the information submitted, all available sources were used il until confirmation of information was determined to the best of our ability. The | primary source for determining employment validation was the payroll report of j September 15, 1973* Personnel employed after September 15 payroll are tabulated 3 separately. Payroll registers for September 15 and October 31 were the primary •! sources used to verify signatures. Personnel information was supplied from the official

You will find attached to your memorandum, also a list of names submitted by Mr. Thomas Williams, Attorney for the American -Federation of Teachers, on November 6, at 9:10 a.m., to Mr- Hugh Ginn, listing names of people, not forms, but a list of names of people that was reported to us as requesting, or they hold forms I assume, requesting withdrawal from the Association of Classroom Teachers and asking the American Federation of Teachers to represent them. And as I gave you the information, in the supplementary report, there were 25 from the Association of Classroom Teachers that were submitted to us this afternoon.

Report Dr- Bill Shell cont'd

i • } !

Prior to 4:55 p-m. (Between the time of 2:45 p-m. and 4: 55 p-m. this date) we have received 293 designation forms, 8 revocation forms from the Association of Classroom Teachers and the American Federation of Teachers. (Correction) - Prior to 4:55 p-m., ACT submitted 25 designation cards, 4 designation cards and revocation forms (same form). Prior to 4:55 p-m., AFT-submitted 280 plus 13, for a total of 293 designation cards and 8 revocation forms. At 4:55 p.m., we had additional forms, designation forms, 33 presented by the AFT and 70 revocation forms presented. This concludes the report. Dr. Shell responded to questions by members of the Board.

j

Mrs. York - On these lists of names submitted by AFT, did they give any explanation why they were all in the same handwriting?

j i

Dr■ Shell - To my knowledge, there was none.

I j 1

| s

Mr. Ginn, was there any explanation?

Mr. Ginn - No. An explanation was not given other than what is shown on your report which indicated I did receive a list of names.

Mrs. York - Dr. Shell, you would verify that these are in the same handwriting, right? Dr. Shell - I am not a handwriting expert, Mrs. York.

Mrs. York - They look to you like they were in the same handwriting, however?

< I

Dr. Shell - They look similar, but I am not an expert.

i j j !

Mr. Estes - I would like to ask a question, Dr. Shell. Do I understand correctly the AFT had 730 cards; then they had an additional later today of 293 plug JO, and then there were 82 that signed both for the Association of Classroom Teachers and the American Federation of Teachers. Am I correct in those figures?

I ?

Dr. Shell - First of all, the American Federation of Teachers in the original count, 730, that is correct.

!I

j

Mr. Estes - All right, the 293 now?

Dr. Shell - The 293 were designation cards prior to 4:55 p-m.; we had 33 additional designation cards at 4:55 p-m. Mr. Estes - Now 70?

Mr. McCray.- Have they been validated?

Dr. Shell - No sir, they have not. 4: 55 p-m.

The 70 represent revocation cards received at

Mr. Estes - Now the 82? Dr. Shell - The 82 (we are going back to the original report now) represents those that we received designation cards for both organizations from 82 individual’ teachers, or individual personnel.

|

Mr. Estes, - Did you figure that in total, those figures?

Dr. Shell - We didn't total it. Mr. Estes - Now starting with Association of Classroom Teachers, 25?

Dr. Shell - Twenty-five (25) designation cards received from the Association of Classroom Teachers prior to 4:55 p-m., but after 2:45 p.m., when this report was compiled. Mr. Estes - Plus 4?

Dr. Shell - Plus 4, that had both designation and revocation indicated. Mr. Estes - Plus 82?

Dr. Shell - Eighty-two (82) is in the original report. Mr. Estes - Plus 82, plus 1185, if you were taking all of the votes?


373

MEETING OF NOVEMBER 8, 1973 - CONT'D

Dr. Shell - However, we have not analyzed, now the report that we just received.

i

Mr. Estes - Well, as I added here on paper, it indicates to me that if you take all cards - Association of Classroom Teachers has 1296, American Federation of Teachers has 1175; if you consider "both the 82 cards that were signed hy both organizations, . AFT and ACT, there were 82 double signed cards, give each organization credit, you would have 1296 Association of Classroom Teachers and 1175 American Federation of Teachers.

I i j j

;

> i i j

Dr. Lillard - Mr. Estes and members of the Board, again, maybe belaboring the point too much that Dr. Shell made; the material that has been handed to him in the last hour or hour and a half, has not been validated by your basic committee. This is just; material presented; we are not saying it is valid or invalid, but the only thing we i can do on a five minutes notice, or twenty minutes notice or an hour's . notice, while i we were getting this report together, is just report that the organizations had submitted these forms purporting to reflect examination. ACT, that they have not been been validated, but if conhave a figure of 1296 for Federation of Teachers.

j j ; i

Dr. Lillard - Again, I think it is dangerous to make that assumption because as Dr. Shell point out on one situation, they presented validation cards which were also revocations. So in one instance if you assume that you. might be adding to a total; then if you assume that you should also subtract from the other total, this makes the process a little difficult. So you can't just add all of the totals; I don't think it will come out the same number of employees that you have.

j j j

Mr. Estes - The same thing applies to the 25, and the 4 validated. Neither have the 280 plus the 13 on the AFT sideration to all of them that have been turned in, you Association of Classroom Teachers and 1175 for American

j :

i

Mr. Estes - One other question, I would like to ask our attorney. Mr. Johnson, apparently there are 82 people that have signed both cards, both Associ . of Classroom Teachers and American Federation of Teachers, designating both organizations to represent them. Could we legally give credit to each organization for the 82 cards?

i j j ;

Mr. Johnson - I think you should;

j

each organization would have the 82.

Mr. English - Under that interpretation, would it not be possible for two organizations to have a majority authorizations, because conceivably couldn't you have two organizations that instead of 82 being the number here, we could have 1,000?

j i !

Mr. Johnson - That would be possible; on the other hand; I am going on the assumption i that a teacher who signs for each one, it was all right with her or him for either ; organization to represent them. i

Mr. English - Where do you suppose we would be if both organizations came up here and said that because they each’had 1,000 of these duplicate signatures in addition to some other signatures, where would we be in recognizing then, what organization is going to represent the teachers?

;

â– i :

Mr. Johnson - We would probably have to take the one that had the most authorizations. j

Mr. English,- Does the law not say that an organization which presents authorizations signed by a majority of teachers, and therefore would not both have a majority of the teachers' signatures? " Mr. Johnson - The Statute says, secures authorizations signed by a majority of the professional educators, and I am saying each one of these secured authorizations of 82.

i j ; j j ; j

Mr. English - If that number had been 1,000, then what would we do, if both organizations came in and said we have got the majority, and sure does, and you check those signatures and there are more than the 1259 valid signatures; then how would we determine who was the representative, since the law says that we have got to recognize the organization that presents the majority signatures.

i | | | I 1 i

Mr. Johnson - I repeat, I would take the one that had the most authorizations.

j

j

Mr. English - Could the Board, if in its wisdom chose to do it, select another method i of determining about these 82, let's say that the latest authorization card is the one; that we count? i

Mr. Johnson - There again the law does not say which one is dated the latest.

;

Mr. Knight - It seems to me like this whole process is operating in a state of chaos, i and simply because we had before established a process to prevent this, and we had a j judge that overruled it. I would like to make a motion that the Board wait to j authorize any representative until its next meeting, and that we accept designation j cards and revocations up through 5:00; p.m. on the 14th. i I

Mrs. York - That is illegal because that was stricken by the judge' s order that this Board cannot tell either teachers' group when they can present their cards. That was struck down in the 33-point plan, and I think this whole chaotic condition came about by this plan and by this Board trying to dictate to the teachers what they can and can't do. Now I think we called this special board meeting today,xand I don't know about you fellows, but I have got more to do than come down every day and rehash this. We have spent enough time on it; I think we need to decide right here and now who is going to be our representative and start working with them instead of against them.

Mr. English - Mr. Chairman, I would move that the Board, in the case of duplicate authorization cards, recognize the authorization with the most recent date.

The motion was seconded by Mr. Knight.

■i

Mrs. York - There again, Mr. McCray, I don't think you can do that because on on of ij the teachers' representative cards it so states that the teacher that signs knows that ■'! at the time, that you will be represented by this group until you have, until we have written communication asking that their name be withdrawn. I also think that's illegal^

’i Dr. Krob - It seems to me, I agree with what Phil said, that this thing is more or ij less in a state of chaos. We don't really know what the Court will allow us to do or ij not to do. We had things set out in this situation where we could recognize the ;j appropriate card; we had time set out; we had deadline set, and so forth and so on, ii and the plan, believe it or not, was expressly for the purpose of eliminating the ji difficulties that we have now, and for no other reason. Regardless of what we do, ji this thing is going to be back in Court. I therefore would move that____ . . jj

Mr. McCray

ji

- We have a motion before the Board.

Dr. Krob Let me ma, e a suggestion then, in the discussion of that motion; that perhaps we could set a date, a week or ten days from now, when it would be a deadline jj for authorizations and revocations,and turn this thing back to the Court and let ■! him (the judge) decide. We don't know; we don't know what the Court is going to allow.;! If the Court had told us that we could set a deadline or that we could void"both j| numbers if they were duplicated, and so on; he doesn't like the plan, but we don't i> know what he will allow it to do; and whatever we do is going to be, I am afraid, in jj vain. !

Mrs. York - Mr. Johnson, will you please, as best you can, repeat exactly what the judge said to us that we may not dictate to the teachers, times and dates, etc. Would you please repeat that so that this Board will not find itself back in Court. Whether AFT and ACT want to go to Courth with each other again, fine with me, but let's keep the Board per se out of Court. So will you please inform Dr. Krob. I i i

j

j

j i, j

Mr. Johnson - I don't remember the exact language, but it was to the effect that y getting the authorizations was teachers business, and that the Board could not inter- ij fere in any way or dictate to them how they got their authorizations, or when. y >i

i ■

Mrs. York - Or when, right; that we must accept the cards when they were presented to us. ' ■

Mr. Johnson - That was my understanding. Mrs. York - That was my understanding too, and I won't be a part of setting a deadline.|

Mr. Ginn was asked by Mr. English to restate the motion.

(

Mr. English - Now as I understand, we have two cards, of course we didn't prescribe the form for these cards. As I understand, one of these cards says that basically this authorization is valid - until withdrawn in writing, and the other one says that this, in addition to designating a particular organization, revokes any previous designation. Now, so we have 82 cards and we don't know whose cards are revoking whose cards. It is unimaginable that we could accept these designation cards signed by persons for two organizations and count it toward both organizations. We are in one mess right now, but we would be in a bigger mess if we did that. We would have two organizations coming in here and saying I have a majority of the cards, and they would both be right. The law says that we are to recognize a group that has the majority of the cards. How are we going to avoid that? I can't see carting it back to the Court. We have a duty to do what we think is right, and get it done, and then if somebody wants to take us to Court, and I am sure they will, then let the Court rule; but let's not turn it over to the Courts, now now. Let's do our duty.

Mr. Estes - That is why I suggested to give both credit for the 82, whether it is j justified or not. Last week when we came in here and the ACT, I asked for the I; Association of Classroom Teachers to present their cards, they did present their cards. I have never taken sides in this, and I am not going to today. We set up our Central Office here to count those cards, and we set today to come to some decision on who we

will recognize as the negotiator for the teachers in this school system, and. apparent-! lywe have the majority. According to figures that we have, there are 1296 for Associ-j ation of Classroom Teachers and 1175 for American Federation of Teachers. Now I ; would like to make a substitute motion____ . > Mr. McCray - We haven't voted on Mr. English's motion. Has everybody now finished speaking on Mr. English's motion; you fully understand it?

Mr. ■ McCray declared that the motion was killed. i Mr. Estes - Mr. President, I would like to make a motion. We have hassled with this situation for months, and we worked on this 33-point plan for many hours and days, and it has been rejected. We met this week, Monday, to come up with some decision pertaining to who the negotiator was going to be for the classroom teachers of the Oklahoma City School System. I think we should act on it. Therefore, Mr. President, I make a motion that we accept the tally sheets that Dr. Shell has given us; the decision that he has given us; preference of the teachers of the Oklahoma City School System, which indicates that the Classroom Teachers has the majority; I so move that we accept the Classroom Teachers Association (Association of Classroom Teachers of Oklahoma City, Inc.) as representative for the Oklahoma City School System.

when we do have another board meeting on the 15th, we can once again take a look at these tabulations, and see if maybe somebody then has a very valid majority, rather than having this questionable majority which involves the 82 duplicate signatures. It seems to me that that would be a wiser move at this time.

Mrs. York - I think we have been most fair; we have accepted cards after Monday's board meeting from both groups. Had we Just accepted one that would have a different story, but we didn't. We were fair to both AFT and ACT. We accepted both their cards, and it is just a plain "clear-cut" case of "diehard" here. I.think we need to decide ; here and now what we are going to do for 1973-7^• We have been more than fair to j both teacher groups. Now I think it is time to quit fooling around. We need to get i back down to education. The teachers need to get back in the classroom, and they • need somebody to represent them. i Mr. English - Foster, when you talk about this organization having a majority as required by law, are you basing that on this II85 confirmed and the 82 duplicates?

i i

Mr. Estes - I am giving credit to 82 to each organization, and taking 1185 plus the 29 that was late today, that came in, and also giving credit to American Federation of Teachers the 293 that came in today, the 730 that they had plus 7° plus 82.

I ? i !

Mr. English -~You are counting the 29?

i

Mr. Estes - I am counting everything, and then you.still____ , one has the majority. The ACT has the majority if you give each one of them what they think they are entitled to, the credit that they are entitled to, ACT would have 1296 and AFT would have 1175•

| : | !

Mr. English - I just wanted to check; we are counting cards that we don't know the validity of? . . . .

Mr. Estes - That's right.

J

Mr. Knight - Mr. President, maybe this would solve the problem.

I would move that we |

table the motion until November 15, the November 15 meeting.

The motion to table was seconded by Mr. English.

On roll call to the motion to table - voting "Aye" - Mr. English and Mr. Knight. Voting "Nay" - Mr. Estes, Dr. Krob, Dr. Moon, Mrs. York, and Mr. McCray. The motion failed.

!

Mr. McCray - Now the Chair would like to make a statement regarding this - I think that the subject has been brought up for an extension and was killed. My attitude towards voting in that respect was this - our schools have been, as Mr. Knight has said, this has become chaos; our teachers certainly have been anxious over it; no doubt there ...has been less teaching done during these three days than we should have had. So consequently I think the duty of the Board is to take an action tonight and declare what the majority of the Board feels, and certainly bring this thing to a head so that we can go back to our business and our responsibility for the education of young people.

Mr. President, I just wondered, in view of the fact that the Judge really didn't give anything specific, I still haven't received a written opinion from the Judge about s whatever his decision was; it has only been verbally transmitted that I can understand,! and since we had established a process to eliminate the chaos, I would hope that in = our report back to the Court that we should in case it is not accepted for some J reason there is a problem with it, that we inquire specifically for instructions as [ to how to conduct this process, so that we don't find ourselves with chaos again. | I think that if someone is going to rule a process invalid, then I think they have [ an obligation to help you straighten it out. f ADJOURNMENT

LEGAL REPORTS Mr. Johnson reported as follows:

1i ! I j

We have a request for the execution of a ratification of an oil and gas lease j originally given by the Board on December 14, 1933; on the Bryant School Lease, = currently the Inman Page School property. This lease was sold to Norville Oil i Company at Sheriff's Sale, and that company plans to drill again under the lease, i I understand that there has not been production recently. Plans are to try to get production again. Norville Oil Company acquired title through a Sheriff's Sale in the District Court action, however, Norville still wants the Board of Education to ratify the lease which was given 40 years earlier. The lease will provide payment of a regular one-eighth royalty interest. This was investigated | by Ruhl Potts, with a memorandum to Mr. Ginn on October 16, 1973; and a i recommendation that we ratify the oil and gas lease. There is a possibility that > there again might be production and we will get some royalty payments. I have I looked into the matter and I made some suggestions to the oil company's attorney | on the form of the ratification, and they (the company) have met those suggestions^ I will recommend to the Board that it approve the request, and that it authorize I the President of the Board and the Clerk to execute the ratification. !

Mr. Potts and Mr. Johnson responded to inquiries regarding the possibility ofthe well being hazardous to the children on the school ground; the amount of money that would be realized by the school district; the possibility that the school system did derive some money from the well when it was productive; if the school system owns themineral rights or what amount of the mineral rights, and other. A motion was made by Mr. Knight and seconded by Mr. Estes that the ratification of an oil and gas lease to Norville Oil Company (in regard to a well on the Inman Page School property) be approved as recommended by the Attorney, Mr. Harry Johnson. All members voted "Aye" on roll call.

R. #482 . Professional Trip Approved

Dr. Lillard - Mr. Shepard, in the past several meetings, has presented to the Board sort of a running score of progress being made on the possibility of a food service management survey for this school system. Board Members have been kept informed on a meeting basis. Mr. Shepard would like to bring you up to date, review the proposals submitted by the companies, the background data, and the merits of each proposal. We have worked closely together on this (most of the Central Office staff), and I think we will have a firm recommendation for the Board to consider at this time.

Food Service Management Survey


378

MEETING OF NOVEMBER 15, 1973 - CONT'D

A

Mr. Shepard - We have Been able to evaluate or look at proposals that we have received.^ In review^ we began in September; 1973, to look at the idea of having a management consultant firm come in and evaluate our Central Food Service Department. As a review,j on October 10; 1973, we did extend invitations to four companies asking for proposals ! for conducting a survey in the Central Food Service Department. Responses were to be returned by November 2, 1973 • Two of the four companies did submit proposals and two j companies; ARA Food Services Company and H. G. Rice and Company; elected not to j submit proposals. These companies sent letters indicating their decision to decline to submit proposals at this time. The two companies which submitted proposals are SAGA Food Service and Arthur Young and Company. Both of these companies submitted ■( materials that were based on the "guidelines" which the Board of Education approved h on their meeting of September 20; 1973- You will recall; prior to this time we had done preliminary work; we had talked to company representatives only in general. Dr. Lillard presented (at the meeting of September 20; 1973) guidelines which were ” approved; and action was taken asking that we ask for these proposals. We asked the ji four companies to submit their proposals based upon the following general areas: Recommendations concerning staffing; recommendations concerning menu planning and implementation; recommendations concerning the cafeteria operations; in general; J something about the school location; concerning ways and means of possibly implement- ? ing the satellite food plan; information concerning what we could expect where we have a small school population and participation wasn't as high as we want. We asked > for information concerning inventory control; concerning procurement - how could we > do a better job in purchasing. We wanted, the proposals to give us information concern-^ ing the pricing; both in terms of procurement pricing and also in pricing to the students; also other general guidelines. Along with this proposal; we also asked that they give us some information concerning the company's credentials. We asked for E background; what would qualify your company to present a proposal to us; what can we g look for from your company? We asked regarding the number of personnel that would be involved; the type of time schedule that .would be required; and obviously; then; the cost of the study to the school district. jj

Food Management Survey - cont'd

We did receive proposals from two companies. I will identify the companies and also identify a little of the way each company approached the idea of conducting this study.

i ! i

Arthur Young and Company is a national CPA firm; however has a major subdivision that is involved in management consultation services. This is the division that submitted the proposal to us. SAGA Food Service; company number two, is primarily a food service management company. One of the things this company will do is go~'in -and completely take over a food service operation; provide all of the management expertise; all of the personnel; and other. SAGA also is moving into the field of consultant work; but their primary objective here is to go in and take over a food service operation.

In terms of the approach to the study; Arthur Young and Company set down, basically 1 things within the framework which we had asked. They would organize a project team; would come in and do a study of what we are doing in terms of current food service ! activities; they would review elementary and secondary cafeterias operations. They j wanted to look at both large and small cafeterias. They wanted to look at what we are currently doing. They would review our inventory control system; they would review our purchasing practices and what we are doing in terms of food storage; where we are storing, our food and how we are storing; whether or not we are getting the most j benefit from our practices here. Arthur Young and Company has developed from that i’| information an operational profile to show what we are doing in terms of a profile. • At the same time they would bring in a nutritional’- expert which would be doing some j work in menu planning and a nutritional study. They would be performing these i activities concurrently. This would include such things as studying our menu and | finding out if we are meeting all of the Class "A" lunch requirements; what we are | doing in terms of menu planning and other. After they finish this particular phase ? of the project; which would probably take approximately three to four weeks,- they i would come back to US; present the conclusion; and request of us as to where to put ! the major emphasis in the amount of time remaining. They would begin a detailed study I

of the operations in the areas of concern as identified by both the administration; the cafeteria administration; the project coordinator from the school board; and people from their team.

| ■

j

SAGA; in terms of their study approach; would come in basically with the same thing; they would begin with what they call a "start-up meeting"; they would meet with our i people; they would outline plans and define goals; they would develop a study of our current operations; and map our district cafeterias. One of the things that they mentioned would be interview non-food service personnel. They would evaluate procurement; production; staffing; and some of these other things. They would come back then and develop an alternative system; select possible alternatives regarding pro| duction; pricing; procurement; and then develop an acting program; etc. |

In terms of the personnel; we asked them who or how many persons would be involved in the program. Arthur Young and Company would use approximately six or seven people. They would have a project coordinator that would actually be a management consultant on the staff of Arthur Young and Company. The man would be a local man who lives in Oklahoma City. They would use systems engineer; they have a person that they would bring in from Washington; D. C., that is familiar with the national food lunch program.

They would, have a person that would, be responsible for being able to analyze the data ! Food Management that is collected; his job would be to say Whether or not this data is valid; his job | Survey - cont'd would primarily be just to analyze what information was gathered. They would have a I technical advisory staff that would include such people as a nutritional scheduling specialist. Their plan as far as the personnel and organization would "be to have one consultant that would be involved throughout the entire project period, and they would bring in these persons with certain expertise as they are needed. SAGA's project team would consist of six people; these six people are all on the SAGA payroll. They are employees of SAGA. The data sheets on their personnel showed that one of these has a background in long-range planning; one was responsible for analyzing operational data; they would have a person responsible for menu testing; a person responsible for procurement -- this would be a person that does procurement for them on district basis. Their indication was that they would have a minimum of two people here at least 75$ of the time of the study.

j | j > i j !

Other factors - we allowed or prescribed a maximum 90 days. Arthur Young and Company | stated that they would like to use this entire 90 days for an "in-depth" study, and they programmed the entire study based upon using approximately a 90-day plan. During | this 90-day study, there would be times when they would make recommendations that 1 could be implemented; we wouldn't be required to wait until the end of the program to | completely implement the plan. At the end of 90 days, then they would come back with ? a recommendation and plans for implementation of factors of the work tasks that would i actually be proposed. i On the other hand, SAGA also stated that the allocated 90 days would not be needed to complete the study, however they would.use the 90 days; and that during 90 days time,

would allow for some additional observations.

Following the time factor, Arthur Young and Company indicated that they would spend

an additional 2^- months of monitoring to make sure that the implementation was going as we desired. In other words, if we had questions that we wanted to ask them; if they reported that we were performing as they had suggested; that another 2^- months would be used in their program, actually a six-months' program of monitoring and "follow-up." By the same token, SAGA indicated that the cost of their study would be $22,000.00. However, if they were to ask for additional of"ongoing advisory assistance," that this would be additional fee that would have to be negotiated for

this advisory assistance past the time when they submitted the plan to us for implementation. The cost for Arthur Young and Company - $25,800.00 approximately. The reason for "approximately" is that they base their fees on expense of travel, per diem time and other. They indicate that there possibly will be some overlap in time, and that this fee was an approximate fee and it would include of course the "ongoing" or the "follow-up" or "monitoring" to see if the implementation was taking place. Basically, that is a real brief overview of the proposals that we received.

Dr. Lillard - I will make some comments and also a recommendation for the Board's consideration. We certainly have your attention when we mention amounts like $22,000.00 or $25,800.00. Allow me to remind the members of this Board that we have seen tremendous improvement in our Food Service Program for this year. At the last board meeting, comparing to one year ago, we were experiencing a deficit of about $126,000.00. That has been cut approximately in half with Mr. Shepard's attention to the matter, the^-other fine people we have working in Food Service, the cafeteria managers, the principals and everyone. The picture is much brighter this year than it was a year ago.

I would call to your attention that our Central Food Service spends a little over ! $3 million a year. What we are talking about here is approximately 1$ of the annual expenditure of Central Food Service to consider are there better, more economical ways that we can do things. I recognize that when we talk about amounts of money like this, there is always the reaction of "will we receive that amount of service out of it." If the Board would choose to consider this as an approach, that any saving would probably be on accumulative basis where the expenditure occurs only one time. Whatever you pay for the service, you 'pay one time. But if one idea can be incorporated during this year of the following year that could conceivably save this school district $50,000.00 or even $100,000.00, that amount of money would be saved each year and each succeeding year. I realize that money like this certainly should be spent frugally, but I think when you are talking about considering less than 1$ of your operation, you are talking about a reasonable amount. After examining the proposals and working very closely with Mr. Shepard and appropriate staff members over the past several weeks, I have come to the conclusion that I believe Arthur Young and Company | would be better qualified of the two firms to do such a survey in terms that I think > that the $25,800.00 is a maximum figure. I really believe it will be less than that; i Arthur Young and Company is a national firm; very well known; outstanding reputation, and they have no service to sell past the survey. They are not trying to sell you equipment or personnel, or not trying to run your food service operation, but they are attempting to inform you as to how we can better operate a school food service program. I would like to point out that this represents many days of study; many staff members involved; and I would make this as a recommendation to the Board, and I realize that | there are possibly three courses of action that you can take - (1) approve; (2) disj approve, or (3) take under consideration the possibility of doing such a study. |

Mr. Knight - I would like to move at this point for discussion purposes, that we accept your recommendation of Arthur Young and Company.

Mr. McCray - Mr. Knight has made the motion that we accept the Superintendent's recommendation of Arthur Young and Company; is there a second to it? "

Dr. Krol - I will second the motion. Comments were made by members of the Board which included, the feasibility of a study at this time; outside assistance and consultation; operations of cafeterias without financial loss; operating the Central Food Service Department on a self-sustaining basis; the possibility of using district employed personnel in lieu of outside consultants for improving our food service managing; and other. Mr. Estes and Mrs. York, in their reactions to the, proposal, suggested that the recommendation should be taken under advisement - under consideration for an additional period of time before being presented to the Board. Each made statements expressing their opposition to the recommendation for the employment of Arthur Young and Company to make a food service management survey for the Central Food Service Department. Other members of the Board and the Superintendent responded to their suggestions. â– On roll call to the motion, voting "Aye" - Mr. English, Mr. Knight, Dr. Krob, Dr. Moon, and Mr. McCray.

As we entered this school year, we anticipated somewhat of a shortage if and we felt an obligation to conserve our energy sources as much as possible. â– ( We have cut back our school mail delivery to the middle schools and high schools j by U0$ this year. In the past we delivered school mail (not U. S. mail) to each i middle school and high school five days a week. We have cut that back to three | days per week. This was implemented at the beginning of this school year. At | the beginning of this year, the Maintenance Department personnel tried to consoli-j date the-trips to the various buildings rather than sending one, two or three f separate crafts to a building; check the work orders carefully and see if more than one craft can use the one vehicle going to a building then, rather than sending two or three. Our Custodial Department has been working very closely with the custodians; also the building principals are certainly making a contribution. We are hopeful that we will have a little more moderate winter this year! than we had last winter. i

In Oklahoma, like most sections of the nation, we don't use heating oil'for fuel f like many sections, and it appears that our supply of natural gas and also f electricity will be adequate, but we may be asked to share that with other | sections of the country. I think the major area of crisis for our school system | in terms of fuel will be gasoline.

i

I |

Mrs. York inquired regarding turning thermostats down.

Dr. Lillard - We haven't issued any such edict; we have just asked the custodians > to observe the thermostats more closely and also work with the classroom j teachers. Our real shortage is in the area of gasoline. We are somewhat | fortunate in that we have a gasoline supplier. Some school districts do not have i a supplier of gasoline. Basically, our allocation for the school system is the j

same as it was last year. At the beginning of the year, we take our monthly allocation, and I believe we use approximately 3^->000 gallons of gasoline per month. The allocation is for buses, service vehicles; for everything. Some of these savings that we have instituted this year - if a school district bus is transporting students on a field trip, we do not use part of our allocation for gasoline. We start with a full tank; the students are taken on a field trip; and then we buy from individual vendors or service stations. We do not have to pay the tax on the gasoline but that saves our basic allocation for the basic purpose of transporting the students. (cont'd)

MEETING OF NOVEMBER 15, 1973 - CONT'D

Information to the Board. cont 'd.

You have heard, many requests that we shorten the school day. The length of the school day is determined hy state .law. Our school day for pupils begins at 8:30 and the secondary students are out at 3:30. So basically the schools are in session during the daylight hours. Schools rarely are open in the evening. We do have some adult school and other programs that are open in the evening. Rarely do we open a building on Saturday or Sunday. All of these measures are being employed to conserve energy - primarily gasoline. In case Board Members or members of the community drive by buildings in the evening and they see some lights on in these buildings, I think there is an equation that we can look at - light does equal security. It would be false economy to try to turn out all of the lights around our buildings, because we would find that the vandalism rate increases rapidly.

If ever we are able to locate a reasonable amount of gasoline that some individual vendor would be willing to sell us in addition to the contract that the Board has approved, under the conditions we would be wise to buy the gasoline and come back to the Board on confirmation purchase. We have an allocation for each month; if you do not use that allocation then it doesn't add to next month's allocation. We have to buy and store the allocation each month and utilize it, and if we can keep our storage tank a little fuller as we begin a month, we are fortunate. Dr. Lillard responded to questions and comments by members of the Board. Mrs. York inquired regarding the number of gallons of gasoline used for district owned and contracted buses; and the possibility of receiving a report of same. Dr. Lillard responded in regard to a report of the use of gasoline; that he would work with the staff, and try to estimate the gasoline that is used in compliance with the Court Order.

Correspondence In Re Staff Ratios - In our Board Meeting on Monday, November 5, 1973, I mentioned this item to the Board. The following day, November 6, I sent a letter to Mr. Peter Holmes, Civil Rights Office; Mrs. Dorothy Stuck, Regional Office; and also to the State Superintendent, sharing with them the portions of our report to the Court that dealt with the staff ratios in each and every building of the Oklahoma City school system. As of this date, I have received no reply from anyone. Also at the last meeting of the Board, I pointed out that sometime in December is the deadline for making an application for an ESAA grant for 1974-75, and we haven't gotten 1973-74 yet. So I did want to keep you up to date on that, as I had mentioned to you. The letter was sent, but nothing has been received from Civil Rights.

Emergency School Assistance Act Applications

Dr. Lillard reported as follows:

;;

Please note that I have indicated "applications" in plural. First I will report that, j; as I had indicated on previous reports, on November 6, 1973, I sent a letter to 1 Mr. Peter Holmes of the Civil Rights Office indicating the racial composition of the ;! staffs at Northeast and Douglass. As of the time of this board meeting today, I have not received an acknowledgement that the correspondence has been received. The ;! correspondence went to Mr. Peter Holmes; a copy to Dr. Herman Goldberg; a copy to the !; Regional Office of Civil Rights in Dallas; and a copy to the State Superintendent of !j Public Instruction. Unless something happens in the next few hours, the possibility *1 of our ESAA application for 1972-73 being approved would appear to be somewhat slim. I am not giving up hope because we could utilize the money to improve our instructional; programs in reading and the mathematics area. 1

The grant you approved included a pilot program, and the pilot program would be effective for only this school year.

;!

The deadline for submitting application for 1974-75 is December 18, 1973• The major a issue that confronts me as an administrator and this Board is, should we avail ourselves of all of the financial resources that are available to help'us do a most '! difficult Job in this school system. I firmly believe that this school system is ;j entitled to receive ESAA grants; that we are in the process of carrying out a court ;i order; and that we could certainly use some money to improve what we are doing at ; the present time. Our reading programs and our mathematics programs, in our elementary schools, our fifth year centers and middle schools, obviously have a !: tremendous need. I won't review everything regarding ESAA funds, their purpose, the ;; format of a grant or such, because Board Members are quite familiar with these !| details. The deadline for submitting an application would occur prior to your j regular adjourned meeting of December 20, and only the Board can give approval for ;j filing. On most federal projects the Board has given permission to the Superintendent;! to submit application for federal funds within the basic philosophy of this Board. ;> The reason we brought the ESAA grant to you directly, is that it related to the desegregation efforts of the school system, and the Superintendent and members of his '! staff are not going to assume the responsibility for making decisions concerning the b possible transfer of pupils or teachers based on race other than as stated in the j! Court Order, without the expressed permission of the Board of Education. The ESAA ji funds can be utilized by this school system and they are available. We can submit an ; ESAA grant in the amount of approximately $2^- million to be used on our reading and ! mathematics programs. If this Board does agree that they would submit an application, it will be submitted with the stipulation that the funds will be used to improve our ; instructional programs consistent with the implementation of the Federal Court Order. ;i Again, members., of the Superintendent's staff, including the Superintendent, would not ;■ have permission to enter into, any agreement with the Office of Civil Rights concerning !j the assignment of any pupil or teacher other than specified in the Court Order. If ;! we let the deadline go by, then we cannot avail oui’selves of ESAA funds. If the Board;! agrees that they want to submit an application, we may receive it; we might not get it; "nothing ventured, nothing gained." If we don't get it, then we are in the same ;j financial condition we are in at the present time. We are talking about 1974-75 !i school year, not for 1973-74 school year. The format of the grant and such would be ! almost identical with the one that was submitted for 1973-74, with the fact that ; Dr. Lunn and members of his staff have indicated; additional financial resources wouldbe available. ;

R. #492 Approval to Submit Application for ESAA Funds

Dr. Lillard responded to inquiry from Mrs. York as to additional duties being imposed j on the Administration in continuing to apply for an ESAA grant. ;; I Mr. Knight - I would move that we accept that recommendation (to submit application !i for ESAA funds) on the basis - (1) we have approved reading as the No. 1 priority in !< this system; as I understand the grant, that is to be the purpose of it; and (2) that we need all of the resources under the present physical situation we find ourselves in, in order to do this kind of job, and then (3) if we don't use the funds, they will in fact go to some other community. : Mr. English - I would second that. Discussion continued by members of the Board concerning the acceptance of federal funds; stipulations in the expenditure of federal funds; State Law as it applies to local school board management, and other. Mrs. York and Dr. Moon voiced expressions regarding ESAA funds — Mrs. York, that funds are issued only in cases of desegregation; and Dr. Moon, that there appears to be some possible restrictions connected with ESAA funds that could affect transfer of staff members in the schools. Dr. Mervel Lunn also responded to additional questions by members of the Board.


385

MEETING OF DECEMBER 3, 1973 - CONT'D

After further discussion including being in compliance with a mandate of the Courts or | R. #92 the Office of Civil Rights, Dr. Krob suggested --It would seem to me that if it is Approval to possible to do so, that it might save a lot of confusion if along with this applicaSubmit Application we could get a letter from the Court stating that we are under a court order and tion for ESAA are in compliance with it. It might eliminate some of the confusion that we have had Funds - cont'd in the past. In support of his motion in additional remarks, Mr. Knight stated -- To my knowledge this is one of the few programs where in fact we have taken money and 8,^50 youngsters will improve one grade level, and that is a commitment that we have made. I would j assume that at the end of the year there will be a report back to this Board as to 5 whether or not we have achieved that and some questions raised. I don't know of any j other program that we have accepted or where we attempt to guarantee that the young| ster, not talking about the teacher, what happens to the teacher or anything, but that > the youngster would actually improve, and to me that is what the public educational j system is all about; to improve the youngsters. i

On roll call to the motion five members voted "Aye", and two members (Dr. Moon and Mrs. York) voted "Nay". The motion carried.

Oklahoma City Public Schools will be honored as one of the few school systems in the Remarks United States to host a NASA exhibit and workshop. We are extremely pleased. We are Dr. Lillard working with NASA officials and Dr. Kenneth Wiggins of Oklahoma State University who ! NASA Exhibit represents their educational division. If this program materializes we will possibly j have radio contact between Oklahoma City students and the astronauts in orbit. We j will also have one or two astronauts in Oklahoma City schools. We hope to have i samples from some of the lunar explorations. This will be one of the rarest quality \ opportunities for pupils and teachers in the Oklahoma City School System. Quite often | people are inquiring regarding quality of programs in the Oklahoma City School System. | This is an example, and we are rather proud that Oklahoma City is one of the school \ systems being selected for this rare opportunity. We will be inviting civic groups ! to meet at Northeast and Douglass Schools to hold their regular meetings; to visit j our Science Center; to visit the exhibits; some of the exhibits will also probably be I in local shopping centers. NASA will send in a team of highly skilled scientists to s conduct seminars; our teachers and students will have the benefit of these seminars. | We recognize an obligation; we will share this with our surrounding school districts j that haven't been so honored to host such a NASA exhibit. There are some good things | going on in the Oklahoma City Public School System, and we Just certainly hope all of i this materializes. ‘ ii

Mr. President, I would like to say here to the public - it is my understanding - this agreement as I understand it; that in the case that accepting this ESAA grant, if it results in this matter of moving teachers from their positions as we had this year, by changing that variance, then we just won't accept it. I am for the grant only in

! ! I !

Mr. McCray - in response - You are correct. Dr. Lillard has said, that is one of the reasons why they (Civil Rights Office) didn't go along with us. We would not move our personnel as they wanted us to do it. We said, we have complied with the Court Order and we didn't want to do anything further that we didn't feel like we had to.

j | | !

that way; just so the moving of teachers doesn't happen.

So you are right.

Statement 4r. Estes 3ont 'cL

Mr. Estes read, as follows:

"It is with great regret that I deem it necessary not to he a candidate for reelection I to the Oklahoma City Board of Education. I have served twelve years and have had the privilege of serving as president for three different terms. Of these twelve years on the Board I have been absent four times. I i "It has been my privilege to serve with outstanding, dedicated members who have given I of their time and talent for the betterment of our school system against difficult | odds. I

jj || i; p

I

"I should like to recognize Dr. Lillard who, in my opinion, is the greatest superin-

<\

s tendent any school system could ever hope to have. Also, I should like to recognize | the department heads, Central Office members, teachers, principals, custodians, maintenance and cafeteria workers, and patrons of this school district. I shall always be grateful for the cooperation that practically all of you have given me in my tenure I as aschoolboard member.

§ •! h H

! j

<i b

j "My sincere hope is that this school system can be relieved of federal domination and | jurisdiction and go back to local control and the neighborhood school concept of which | I havefought for, for12 years. ii I "I should also like to thank the news media for the fairness they have shown me in the I many radio, television, and newspaper items that have appeared in my behalf in all ;j these years I have served as a board member. !i

"I have tried to fulfill all the promises made when I was first elected to the Board in 1961,. even through the trials, tribulations, and criticisms that I have received from people who are not knowledgeable of the operation of a school system of this magnitude. My tour of duty has been fruitful, educational, and an experience that I could never have received otherwise.

R. #99 Motion to Instruct Attorney to Compile Data and. Present Resolution to Judge Bohanon

« 1

"I now say thanks to all the board members, present and past, for the privilege of j knowing and serving with you. I wish you the very best of everything and God's blessJ ings to each of you in your future service to this school district."

;

Mr. McCray responded - "Mr. Estes, as President of the Board, certainly I have been one that has been grateful for your dedication to the school system, and the fine I manner in which you conducted yourself in your decisions. There have been many times j probably that we didn't agree as two members of the Board, but it has all been in

\ ; \ !

§ i |

friendliness and certainly respect that each one had been honest in their convictions, t Certainly I will miss you on this Board, and would have wished that you would have j; continued as a member. But there again I think that anyone in this is entitled, after serving as many years, if they so desire, to retire and certainly from an active life f and active participation, active criticism, Mr. Estes, and active praise.. Certainly I want to commend you as being a very fine board member, and I shall miss you personally.'1!

!

UNFINISHED BUSINESS

>

I|

Mr. McCray inquired - Are there any items under Unfinished Business?

Mrs. York introduced a subject and made remarks regarding the energy and fuel crisis I as an. ounced by the President of the United States. She stated, "that one of the

r

I! j

1 things the President didn't mention is the fuel the buses consume daily over the nation.; | Stopping or modifying the forced assignment of students by transporting them by bus | would save probably millions of gallons of gas daily." Mrs. York included in her ! | remarks a motion which other members of the Board discussed and made their suggestions i j for alterations. The motion was seconded by Mr. Estes; however, with qualifying I remarks that we should provide transportation for handicapped children and for those J ! children living more than one and one-half miles from a school. Mrs. York's motion j i asked the Board's attorney to compile the data, the information, and that we present j this to Judge Bohanon in the form of a letter with copies to all members of the i Oklahoma Congressional Delegation and to the Office of the President of the United i States; the request or resolution to ask Judge Bohanon to reverse or modify his Order § (Memorandum and Order of February 1, 1972), to allow students to attend school ! buildings near their home in lieu of traveling to a school building distant from their 1 home as currently required by Order of the Court,' thus eliminating the reed for addij tional consumption of gasoline, approximately 55$ of the 3^100 gallons currently used ! daily for all transportation made available to the Oklahoma City Public School < ; children. ;

Voting "Aye" - Mr. English, Mr. Estes, Mr. Knight, Dr. Krbb, Mrs. York, and Mr. McCray. Voting "Nay" - Dr. Moon. The motion carried.

■< Mr. Knight - We started with a reading program and since we are getting close to the ; January midterm, I wonder if at the next meeting we might have a report on the progress,; the,achievement progress in that respect; and if we might not actually hold our meeting-' at a school in which this is occurring so that we could see "firsthand" some of the i things that are being done or have these explained to us. ■

R. #500 Motion Re Progress Report on Reading Program

l

Mr. McCray - Is that in the form of a motion?

;

Mr. Knight - Yes, I would put that in the form of a motion.

j


397

MEETING OF DECEMBER 3, 1973 - CONT'D \ R- #500

Mr. English - I will second it.

I Motion Re Progress Report on Reading Program

Members of the Board discussed the motion, -after which it was established that the motion was made in two parts - (1) to have a progress report on the reading program and (2) to take the report to a school where the reading program has been experienced or is in progress. On roll call to the first part of the motion to have such a report, all members voted "Aye". On roll call to take the meeting to a school to hear the report, five members voted "Nay", and two members (Mr. English and Mr. Knight) voted "Aye". Mr. McCray declared that the second part of the motion failed.

1

Mr. McCray - Under Unfinished Business, I received a communication from Mr. Wilton Conine, President of the Association of Classroom Teachers. At this time I will recognize Mr. Conine.

: j

(Mr. Conine read from prepared copy - Bargaining Representatives Official Election Report of Association of Classroom Teachers of Oklahoma City.)

Mr. Conine - Mr. McCray and members of the Board, in compliance with the Oklahoma I Statute 70-509.1, the Association of Classroom Teachers of Oklahoma City has conducted an election of bargaining representation for the Professional Educators of the Oklahoma* City School District. The individuals elected and duly certified to represent the i Professional Educators of the District are: Robert O'Bryan, Madonna Moore, and i Donald Lowery. We are prepared to immediately begin negotiations with the Board of j Education's negotiations team, and to complete an agreement outlining negotiations i procedure as prescribed by law. We would like to meet with that team sometime this s week, if possible. Thank you very much. i At the conclusion of Mr. and to the Clerk, copies Representatives Official Oklahoma City." (A copy

Mr. Johnson - I don't know of any reason why you can't proceed. The Board is not ' under any restraint from proceeding. The Court did direct the Board to designate a i professional organization, and report to the Court, which the Board has done. I don't know of any reason why you could not or should not proceed unless and until the Court directs us otherwise. Dr. Lilia rd - I would inform the Board that according to State Law the Board has 60 days from the time it recognized a professional organization, to complete the procedural arrangement. The Board recognized the Association of Classroom Teachers as the bargaining representative for the professional educators on November 8, 1973Approximately one-half of the 60 days has already been consumed. Whenever and however the Board's team is appointed or selected, then the deadline on the procedural agree- i ment is to be completed within 60 days from the date of recognition. i

Mr. McCray - The Chair would entertain a motion that the Superintendent appoint members I R. #501 of his staff as a negotiating team to meet with the Association of Classroom Teachers | Motion to negotiating team. j Appoint Board's ] Negotiations Mrs. York - I so move. ’ Team The motion was seconded by Mr. Estes. The Board discussed the motion. Members questioned whether or not the Board should receive information regarding the negotia-

tions before appointing a negotiating team; whether. thei; Board could discuss negotiations in an executive session; whether- the Board should suggest items for "input" for negotiations; whether Board Members could sit in on negotiations as nonparticipating observers, and other. The Superintendent and members of the Board responded regarding the Board's team representing the Board, the Board's team reporting back to the Board those items which the team are negotiating with the Association of Classroom Teachers team; the ratification of items being made only by the Board; instructions to the Board's team to originate from the Board collectively; recommendations which the Board would want to make to be made in public meetings, and other.

Mr. McCray - The question has been called.

Mr. Ginn, would you call the roll, please.

On roll call for the motion for the Superintendent to appoint the negotiations team, all members voted "Aye". i

Reading Programs - Oklahoma City Public Schools

|

Mr. McCray presented Dr. Mervel Lunn for the Curriculum Department's Report. . Dr. Lunn - Dr. Melvin Todd as Director of Curriculum would normally report to you; but the untimely death of his mother has made that impossible for. him to be present. On May 14, 1973; I presented to you a written report on the reading programs that described in detail our basic reading program and the allied supporting programs. Today, the report by the Curriculum Department will be in two parts - written and video tape. The written report that you have in hand is also in two parts - one is a condensed report on the Developmental Reading Program for Oklahoma City Public Schools describing the basal and five special programs; and the second, the summary of the inservice for the staff since Dr. Lillard reported to you on June 29, 1973The video tape is also in two parts.

Association of Classroom Teachers of Oklahoma .City

i' Mr. McCray presented Dr. Jesse Lindley who reported that - Dr. Lillard, as j directed by the Board, has appointed a negotiations team to represent the Board | in meeting with the team selected by the Association of Classroom Teachers. Dr. Lillard has appointed Dr. Thomas J. Smith, Dr. Mervel Lunn, Dr. John Brothers,^ Mr. Jerry Rippetoe, and myself (Jesse Lindley). Also, he has appointed to the team, representing the elementary principals, Dr. Howard Morrow; and representing the secondary principals, Mr. Jim Robinson. The first meeting with the negotiations team from the Association of Classroom Teachers will be tomorrow afternoon (December 21) at 3:00 p.m.

i J t > 1

Mr. Knight - Mr. President, before we move on, I think one of the concerns that I had | when I raised the question about the reading report, was as I put it in my motion, | was the achievement progress. I looked at some of the material and I think it is I great and I appreciate the fact they did it, but I still don't know where we were i last year and where we are this year in terms of whether children are making satis| factory progress or whether they are making the same kind of progress they did a year | ago, because according to the reading and math tests, we have a drop-off after about | third grade; children start dropping below the national average in the Oklahoma City | School System, and that was my concern as to if we are making progress, since it is j our No. 1 priority. ! i ! Dr. Lunn responded to Mr. Knight and other questions and comments by members of the ! Board regarding the reading programs in the Oklahoma City School System. Mr. McCray - From what we have heard from some members of the Board, probably it would be best, Dr. Lunn, if you could came back at the next meeting with a schedule of what can be done feasibly and report back to the Board at that time.

MEETING OF DECEMBER 20, 1973 - CONT'D

Mrs. York - Mr. McCray, may I say one thing, and. it would, he in the form of a motion. I enjoyed, very much the film and. discussion?,that I heard; I am only sorry that I could not have seen all three. My point was this,’ and if it needs to he in the form of a motion, I would like to put it that way. We have set aside Mondays for informational meetings, if we should ever he so lucky to get the patrons to come to our school hoard meetings, this discussion is a little long for them to sit through and they might get discouraged and leave. This type presentation should come under discussion meetings, and we should have our regularly called discussion meetings on this type of subjects. I don't know if we need it in the form of a motion, hut if we do I would make a motion that we have this type discussion and films at our special meetings, and that he (Dr. Lunn) would come hack.

i Information to j the Board | cont'd |

Members of the Board continued to discuss the possibility for a special meeting, discussion or informational meeting related to the reading programs. Mr. McCray - I will check with the Superintendent and see what is feasible in regard to having a special meeting for this particular type of thing.

1 1

Mr. Knight - I would like to thank Dr. Lunn and his staff for this presentation. It just kind of touched the "top of the iceberg" for me; I would like to get into the thing deeper, because this is really the "nuts and bolts" of the reason we sit here; but thanks. Mr. McCray - The "thanks" goes for all the Board, Dr. Lunn.

I am sure that at the present time we are not having a great deal of problems at the elementary level and perhaps not so much at the middle school level, but this is probably the senior high school, and that I would recommend that we establish a committee with representatives from the PTA Council, for them (the PTA Council) to determine at least three (members), and three secondary school principals who would form a committee to take a look at this issue and report back to this Board, say within two or three months. Discussion was continued by members of the Board, truancy is a complex problem; that the committee Members; that the committee would report back to take all of the actions; that truancy of a child the possible need to restructure the educational efforts in dealing with the truancy problem, and

| R. #508 Approval to Establish a Committee to Study Truancy Problem

— i

Mr. Knight - Mr. President, I would like to raise a question for information or perhaps for further discussion. I have read the ESAA grant and I recognize that there are some similarities between the present application and the one we submitted before; however, I do have some concerns about it and would hope that sometime we would have a chance to deal with it. I have a feeling as I read the application and share the feeling that I basically feel that we need to put people in the front line; I think the job of reading and math is going to be done right therewith the students, and so we need most of our personnel; in fact it is not a majority of our personnel, there. As I perceive the grant application, it indicates that we may add another layer of consultants and experts, and I am not sure that has been beneficial to our system. We already have those kind of people (employees) on our staff. These are some of the concerns that bother me about the program. We need to take all of the resources that we have; but since the Board did not have an opportunity to read it before it ____ ; we did have a recommendation last week, I just wonder if there is an opportunity as we take a look at it to do some examination of that and discussion of it, whether it is at today's meeting or at another meeting. Dr. Moon - Mr. President, I am of the opinion that we take another look (review) when the Superintendent is here. He is greatly interested in that; he has given more study to it than any of us, and I think we ought to show him the courtesy. It may be just as Mr. Knight says, some improvement, but I think it ought to be done when the Superintendent is present.

Mr. McCray - There is nothing of an emergency nature about it. I would suggest, Mr. Knight, that you get with Dr. Lillard at your convenience and go over with him to see what his ideas are, and what ideas you can interject after you have studied the ESAA grant application. Would that be agreeable to you?

Mr. McCray - I was speaking of a modification of the motion. you have to accept the grant per se.

You can't modify a grant;:}, h

Mrs. York - I would be glad to second his motion.

a

Mr. Knight - I don't think I made a motion; I just raised a point of information.

Mr. McCray - Is there any New Business to come before the Board?

}

Mr. Knight - There is one more and it is a concern. I did have a chance to review the Accountability Program as we intend to deal with it; it is, however, as I perceive it, much broader than just the word accountability. Accountability kind of has a .. hierarchy approach to it in terms of saying, you are responsible for this and I hold you accountable for that. However, it has within it the opportunity for long-range direction for this school system, and I recognize that we are already in the training process of our school personnel. Yet, to my knowledge, the Board has not been involved in providing any input or reacting to the process - not the content but the process. This is a kind of thing where, again, we can involvr and receive help from patrons and other citizens in the community, and yet at the present time the Board has had no say-so yet, to my knowledge. We have not been asked what kind of a process do we see existing; and we did appoint from the Board a long-range plan committee which could be helpful in that process, I think.

Mr. McCray - The State Board of Education is the state organization that is responsible for the implementation. Earlier in informal conference with members Of the Board and some of the press, this was discussed very lively. I have been thinking about and have been working with it, and heard pros and cons on the Accountability Program from legislative branches. It would take some research for anyone to really define accountability; I have not heard a definition that I thought was really stable. It does involve a number of things, and the State Board has said to every Board of Education, you should proceed with it in different steps. First, you assess the needs and go from there.

Mr. Knight - My statement is that the term is being misused; in the term there are jj more things involved than what they intend to do when you start a "needs assessment" program; that's a planning process that should involve the entire system, and then when you identify the needs, then you move to who is going to be accountable for implementing the program. The term is being "batted" around, I recognize, within schools. I don't think there is an understanding, full understanding of what that ji word means. We are actually into a broader process than just straight accountability, ji It seems that here is a place and a time which we Can really try to involve our ij patrons and our PTA, and all of the other interested parties, and maybe reduce some ji of the apathy that we have had. My reaction has been thus to the number of years of my life, that for a number of years school systems have actually not wanted outside â– ! people involved, and have actually discouraged it. We get to the point when we really $ need help on funding, and we say, you don't want to vote for this or you are- not voting for that, and part of that comes because they were not involved down the pike jl in the process.

Mr. McCray - Most of the points that you have made were, as I said, stated; were covered in a lively discussion of the Board earlier. I think everybody reacted on many of the things that you have stated.

Mr. Knight - I would hope that we could open it up somewhere and not lock it in from a standpoint to where I see it now. Mr. McCray - I think those expressions were given to Dr. Tom Smith who was available at our discussion.

MEETING OF DECEMBER 20, 1973 - CONT'D

Dr. Krob - Mr. Chairman, I would, think that this group (Student Communications Committee) could be of some benefit in uncovering some of the situations that Mr. Knight alluded to earlier. I would perhdps suggest that a member of this communications group be an ex officio member of this truancy study committee. I would suggest to the chairman of the committee on truancy, that a member of this communications group be an ex officio member at least to get some student input into this truancy problem that we were talking about earlier. Students may be the best ones that can provide an answer. I appreciate the work that you students are doing. Comments were made by members of the Board regarding Dr. Krob's suggestion.

Mr. McCray directed a statement to Dwayne saying - You have heard the recommendation of Dr. Krob; would you take the suggestion back to your organization and see what they think, and then report back to the Board? ADJOURNMENT

A motion to adjourn was made by Mrs. York and seconded by Dr. Moon, and carried. THEREUPON THE MEETING ADJOURNED.
