HEARINGS

Two persons addressed the Board as follows: 1.

Ann Turner, Media Specialist, Grant High School, discussed the advantages of the "Textbook Bill", which granted schools the authority to withhold a student's grades until his/her financial obligations to the school were settled. She asked for clarification about which school (sending school or receiving school) collects from a student owing money for a lost book if that student transfers.

Georgia Iannello, President, Oklahoma City Federation of Teachers, praised Debra Porter, Fourth Grade Teacher at Mark Twain School, for her efforts to improve the living conditions of one of her students and the student's family. The O.F.T. named Ms. Porter their December "Building Representative of the Month".

LEGAL AND FINANCIAL REPORTS ATTORNEY'S REPORT

Attorney's Report Mr. Ronald Day of the firm Fenton, Fenton, Smith, Reneau & Moon, reported as follows on current legal matters: Special Education Due Process Hearings

"Testimony was concluded today in the due process hearing for special education student Kenny Johnson. A written decision will probably not be handed down in the case until mid-February. The hearing officer stated at the conclusion of the hearing that she wanted to review the transcript of the testimony at the hearing and also briefs from the attorneys. I feel that the hearing went very well for the Board of Education. Several employees of the school district testified on the Board's behalf of that hearing: Linda Wilson, Judy Burrows, Patty Ganjanathavat, Coralee Risley, JoAnn Wine, Laura Montgomery and Sharon Stafford. They each did an excellent job and they should be commended for the professional manner with which they handled themselves at the hearing. Also, Dr. Lindley and Dr. Newby are to be commended on the way they assisted in preparing that case. "The Quincy Kaufman case, which I reported on to you earlier, has been rescheduled, and that hearing will begin on the morning of January 9, here in the Board meeting room.

Dowell v. Board of Education

"I have received official notice from the Tenth Circuit Court of Appeals that the case is set for oral arguments in Denver at 9:30 a.m. on Thursday, March 20. The case is scheduled for arguments before Division No. 2 of the court. At that hearing, each side's attorney will be given the opportunity to present argument for twenty minutes to the Tenth Circuit, arguing their respective positions in the case. Traditionally, the Tenth Circuit does not rule from the bench, or they do not hand down a decision following the arguments. I think we can expect a written decision sometime in excess of thirty days following those arguments. I will be prepared and appear in Denver at that time and present arguments on behalf of the Board." TREASURER'S REPORT

Treasurer's Report

Mr. Ladd gave a routine Treasurer's Report. clerk.)

Dr. Steller stated that during the Christmas season there were several examples in this district of students and staff putting forth extra effort in responding to a human need such as the story related by Georgia Iannello about Debra Porter.

HEARINGS HEARINGS

The following persons addressed the Board concerning the welding program at Northeast High School and 1-89 vocational programs in general: Dave Webah, Welding Instructor, Northeast High School; Karen Young, Patron/Member of Southeast High School Cosmetology Program Advisory Committee; Janet Jones, Counselor, Northeast High School; Mike Johnson, Sooner Supply; Patrick Warner, Student, Northeast High School; Nancy Chase, mother of female student enrolled in Northeast High School Welding Program; George Patterson, Student, Northeast High School; Carl Patterson, Student, Northeast High School. The speakers told how enrollment in the welding program was increased at N.E.; the importance of the program to them; and expressed concern that the program might be discontinued.

Dr. Steller assured Mr. Webah and Ms. Young that rumors to the effect that the Board was preparing to do away with vocational education programs or turn them all over to Vo-Tech 22 were not true.

Bill Bryant, Patron, member of Oklahoma Peace Strategy; Duane Beecher, Patron; and Naomi Mendus, Oklahoma Peace Strategy, spoke concerning the district's application for a Junior ROTC program. Mr. Bryant presented to the Board a petition signed by persons objecting to the program. Responding to Mr. Bryant, Mrs. Donwerth stated that staff researched the ROTC program before recommending it; that the consideration of the program application did appear on a board agenda; and that plans were to implement Junior Army ROTC as a pilot program in only two schools.

Mrs. Thomas commented she appreciated hearing from the people who spoke on both issues, the welding class at Northeast and ROTC. She recalled that during the January 13, 1986 Special Meeting there was a great deal of discussion in support of maintaining the comprehensive high school which included vocational education. She asked that staff dialogue with Ms. Mendus and Mr. Bryant to respond to their questions and concerns about ROTC. LEGAL REPORT ATTORNEY'S REPORT

Mr. Ronald Day of the firm Fenton, Fenton, Smith, Reneau & Moon, reported as follows on a current legal matter: Special Education Due Process Hearings "The due process hearing concerning the placement of special education student Quincy Kaufman started as scheduled on the morning of January 9, 1986. This is the case where the parents are seeking to hold 1-89 responsible for tuition reimbursement in excess of $24,000 for the tuition of their daughter at the Ann Carlson School for the Physically Handicapped in the State of North Dakota. At the end of that day, January 9, the parents had finished putting on their evidence and rested their case. The hearing officer recessed the hearing in order that the hearing would reconvene on the morning of February 7 at 9 a.m., here in the Board Meeting Room. At that time the school district will start putting on its case."

Mrs. Hill had the following concerns about vocational courses: 1.

She stated it has been the district's practice to allow students to transfer to a high school to take a one-hour vocational course, such as vocational agriculture at John Marshall High School. If students wish to take a threehour vocational course, such as welding at Northeast High School, she believed they should have that choice as well as the option of enrolling in Vo-Tech 22 programs. She also commented that in the past if at least five students wanted to take a vocational course, then transportation would be provided. She concluded by stating she now felt if a student wished to take a three-hour vocational course he/she should be able to take that course and then return to the home based school for the remainder of the school day.

Mrs. Hill mentioned that Grant High School was the only school offering a child care vocational course and that Southeast, John Marshall, Douglass and Capitol Hill High School have no access to this type of program. She thought it might help the racial balances if students were allowed to take this class on a three-hour basis and then return back to their home school.

Concerning the bio-med program at Northeast High School, Mrs. Hill questioned the rationale for it being a four-year program. She suggested the materials covered in the ninth grade bio-med classes were probably available at a student's regular high school. She felt all ninth graders need to be at their home based school; that they need that experience at least for one year before transferring to another location.

Mrs. Donwerth asked for staff to review Mrs. Hill's concerns and bring back information and/or recommendations.

POLICY BG, Board-Staff Communcations FOR ACTION 2-17-1

10. Policy BG, Board-Staff Communications: BOARD-STAFF COMMUNICATIONS The Board desires to maintain open channels of communication with

the staff.

The basic line of communication will, however, be

through the superintendent.

All communications or reports to the

Board from principals, supervisors, teachers, or other staff

members, except Board appointed committees, shall be submitted through the superintendent.

This procedure shall not be con-

strued as denying the right of any employee to appeal to the

Board from administrative decisions, provided that the superintendent shall have been notified of the forthcoming

appeal and that it is processed in accordance with the Board's policy on complaints.

All official communications, policies, and directives of staff

interest and concern will be communicated to staff members

through the superintendent.

The superintendent will employ all

such media as are appropriate to keep the staff fully informed of the Board's problems, concerns, and actions.

Board members may

make requests for information directly to any employee.

However,

requests requiring a substantial amount of work time should be

submitted to the superintendent. Employees should wi11 notify the superintendent's office of any such requests, and provide an estimate of the time involved in providing a response.

Individual Board members are encouraged to visit schools.

Such

visits shall be regarded as informal expressions of interest in

school affairs and not as "inspections" or visits for supervisory purposes.

SUPERINTENDENT'S REPORT 19. Special Staff Reports (1)

Energy Management/Boiler Supervision/Security System (EBS) Dick Samples, Capital Improvement Planning/Implementation Administrator, announced that Phase I of the energy management system was brought up on line Wednesday, January 29. It is anticipated the initial problems encountered will be corrected very soon. The EBS system will 1) supervise the boiler operation at each building; 2) provide a security system that will ultimately replace the Sonitrol system now in use; and 3) be an energy management tool which will reduce the amount of energy used. Mr. Samples also discussed other cost saving features of the EBS system. Phase I consists of 15 buildings. Mr. Samples stated he hoped Phase II could be implemented in the fall of 1986, and that implementation depended upon availability of funds.

(2)

Evaluation of the 1984-85 Oklahoma City Public Schools Chapter I Program; and Effective Teaching in Chapter I Classrooms Dr. John Crawford, Program Leader, Planning, Research & Evaluation Department, highlighted the report, Effective Teaching in Chapter 1 Classrooms. He reviewed what strategies the teachers are using and what strategies seem to be most closely related to student achievement gains. Some of the findings were that 1) individual contacts were positively related to gain; 2) behavior management was not a concern in Chapter 1 classrooms (6-10 students with one teacher and an aide); and that praise should not be over-used so that it maintains its reinforcing capability. Dr. Crawford plans to make the information contained in the report available to teachers.

Mr. George Kimball, Data File Statistical Analyst, reviewed the Evaluation of the 1984-85 OCPS Chapter 1 Program report.

Task Force Report on the Revision of Elementary Report Cards

Sylvia Lonian, Director of Elementary Schools, co-chairperson of the task force, highlighted the report. In October 1985 the task force was established to recommend to the superintendent revisions in reporting of student progress in the elementary grades K-5. She announced the task force had completed its design, a proposed revision for reporting elementary students' academic progress to parents.

TASK FORCE REPORT REVISION OF ELEMENTARY REPORT CARDS

Christina Kiser, Elementary Educational Programs and Curriculum Development Administrator, and co-chairperson of the task force, summarized the recommendations contained in the written report (copy on file in the office of the clerk). She explained the utilization of the new student progress reports. The new "report cards" will be used beginning with the 1986-87 school year. By consensus, the Board accepted the report and enthusiastically endorsed the new report card.

20. Remarks

Betty Mason, Assistant Superintendent, Instruction and Related Services, reported on the Myriad Gardens fund raising project, conducted during the month of January. She stated the unofficial report of money collected was $8,700+. She commended the members of the "steering committee" who designed the fund raising effort: Matha Nell Dodson, Principal, Eisenhower Middle School; Joyce Henderson, Principal, Northeast High School; Bob Royce, Principal, Western Village Elementary School; Willetta Johnson, Teacher, Eugene Field Elementary School; Melissa Lawson, Teacher, Capitol Hill Fifth

Year Center; Michael Brown, Teacher, Star Spencer High School; and Barbara Webber, Classen Fifth Year Center. Reports of donations were made by participating schools at Northwest Classen on Thursday, January 30. She invited the Board to attend the planting of the first tree at the gardens by Eiesenhower students on February 14. Dr. Stell er stated there would be a staff study on the question of ninth grade and transportation at the high school level. The Board will be furnished the results when the study is completed.

Concerning the space shuttle accident of the week before, Dr. Steller said staff did a commenable job of working with the students following that tragedy. Dr. Steller said until some time in the future the impact of next year's budget cuts at the state level will not be known; that it is hoped the district will not face more than the $4 million in cuts now anticipated. He said cuts at the federal level will also affect the district. Staff was commended for their efforts to date in getting ready for next year. He noted that both bargaining units have agreed to survey their memberships and provide some suggestions to administration on how to conserve our resources and possibly even bring in additional revenue. Dr. Steller asked the Board if they would like to formally adopt the criteria used in assessing programs contained in the vocational educational paper presented to the Board by Dr. Lindley or to direct the administration to proceed using those criteria for making decisions. Following discussion, Dr. Steller stated additional staff (teacher) reaction would be sought concerning Dr. Lindley's paper (specifically the criteria); also, that critieria for other courses was needed as well, as Mrs. Hill suggested.

In response to questions from Dr. Steller regarding bond issue planning, the consensus of the Board was to wait until the next school year for an election, but to start immediately to assess needs and inform of the public of the district's needs and plans. Dr. Steller mentioned Stonegate Elementary School's U. S. Department of Education recognition. He also recognized Adams, Kaiser, Pierce, Quail Creek, and Star Elementary Schools; schools that met the criteria to apply for the award.

ATTORNEY'S REPORT

Mr. Ronald Day, of the firm Fenton, Fenton, Smith, Reneau & Moon, reported as follows on current legal matters: Special Education Due Process Hearings "Last week we received a decision in the special education case concerning Kenny Johnson. You will recall in that case that the parents were primarily seeking two things. First, they were asking that Oklahoma City Public Schools reimburse them for the cost of the services of a private speech language pathologist which they hired to work with their son. Second, they were asking that an extended year program be provided for Kenny Johnson over the summer months by Oklahoma City Public Schools, and at taxpayers' expense. The hearing officer, in the decision, upheld the position of Oklahoma City Public Schools on each issue and refused to award either of those items to the parents. The parents do, however, have ten days within which to lodge an appeal to the Oklahoma State Department of Education.

"The Quincy Kaufman case was concluded on February 7 (1986). At the conclusion of the hearing, the hearing officer requested that each side file briefs ten days after we received the transcript of the hearing from the State Department of Education. We will do that.

Desegration Litigation Information "I think you're all familiar with the case that the Norfolk Board of Education has been involved in over the past couple of years. That case is styled, Riddick vs. the Norfolk Board of Education. Several years ago, the Norfolk Board, like the Oklahoma City Board, was declared unitary. Several years after being declared unitary, the Norfolk Board of Education implemented a pupil assignment plan very similar to Oklahoma City's, and curtailed mandatory cross-town busing in all elementary grades, K-6. The Norfolk Board took that action for two reasons. One was to reduce the effects of "white flight" on their district. The second reason was to increase parental involvement in the public schools. Under the Norfolk plan, all of the elementary students are to attend their neighborhood schools, and as a result of that, there were a substantial number of racially identifiable schools created. The Norfolk plan was challenged in court; the District Court upheld the plan; the opposition appealed to the Fourth Circuit. On February 6, the Fourth Circuit Court of Appeals unanimously upheld the Norfolk plan. (The Norfolk plan) is similar to the Dowell case and the plan of Oklahoma City Public Schools. I think it's a very encouraging decision, and I plan on filing a supplemental brief with the Tenth Circuit Court of Appeals inviting their attention to the Riddick decision."

SUPERINTENDENT'S REPORT

With the Board's permission, Dr. Stell er moved two items from "Remarks" to the first part of the "Superintendent's Report". Dr. Steller recognized Mr. J. R. Feuerborn, an employee in the District's Painting Department, for his efforts in duplicating the logo of the Young Astronaut Program for the district's use in publicizing the "Classroom in Space" project. (The artwork was displayed during the meeting.) Dr. Steller also introduced Mr. Clarence Page, founder of the Air Space Museum. Mr. Page was recognized for his contribution to the Young Astronaut Program and for his support of the Oklahoma City Public Schools. Mr. Page remarked on his involvement in the program and the painting of the logo by Mr. Feuerborn.

REMARKS SUPERINTENDENT

Dr. Steller next introduced Mr. Charles Ables, who has completed an historical research project concerning Central High School. Mr. Ables commented on his research efforts and presented to each member of the Board a copy of the book he authored on the history of Oklahoma High School (which became Central High School). Mr. Ables was accompanied by Mrs. Francis Percival, member of the Millwood Public Schools Board of Education and President of the Central High School Alumni Association. Mrs. Percival commented on the book, the Central High School building museum, and the Central High School Alumni Association.

Special Staff Reports (a)

New Achievement Test

Ms. Pat Watson, Director, Planning Research & Evaluation Department, reported on the recommendation to replace the California Achievement Test (CAT) with the Metropolitan Achievement Test (MAT). She said the State Department of Education now uses the MAT and has decided it matches state curriculum objectives; also, that it has already, and will even more, influence the district curriculum objectives. Ms. Watson pointed out that the CAT tested students in the areas of reading and math; the MAT will test reading and math, and in two additional areas, social studies and science. (A copy of the written report is on file in the office of the clerk.) (b)

STAFF REPORT NEW STUDENT ACHIEVEMENT TEST

Textbooks and Care of School Property Dr. Jesse Lindley, Assistant Superintendent, Educational Programs and Curriculum Development, discussed the recommendation of a district committee regarding the revision of Policy JFCB, "Care of School Property by Students", and accompanying regulations (JFCB-R1 and JFCB-R2). In summary, the committtee recommended that students pay the full replacement price of a book rather than a percentage based upon the age of the book. He noted a change to number 5 contained in JFCB-R1; number 5 is now worded such that if financial inability of a student to pay for a lost book is established, then the child may if they so desire, make restitution by performing a service for the school. (A copy of the written report is on file in the office of the clerk.) Mrs. Hill asked for a timeline within the regulation for notifying parents and students of outstanding financial obligations. (Include with number 3, JFCB-R1.)

The Board discussed procedures for collecting unpaid obligations; book replacement price and depreciation; determining financial inability to pay; and other. Following discussion, the superintendent suggested the Board allow staff to proceed, using the recommendations of the committee, and give the Board a report at the end of the year of any problems, how much money is involved, how many textbooks, etc. The policy, incorporating the changes, is to be brought back to the Board in the near future.

The return deadline date is March 31, 1986. Additionally, flyers have been made available to PTA's and other groups.

Vocational Education Programs

Dr. Steller asked that the Board consider formally accepting the report previously submitted to the Board, "Recommended Criteria for Vocational Curricula in District 1-89" (copy on file in the office of the clerk.) Dr. Lindley pointed out two additional criteria included in the report since the Board last received it. The first addition appeared on page 3, paragraph three, which states the fourth criterion which must be considered is the availability of funding at the district, state and federal levels. The second addition was contained in number 7, page 4; that the district consider the numbers taking and passing a licensure test (applies only to cosmetology in District 1-89). Dr. Heath asked that numbers taking and passing a licensure test be considered in evaluating the program only if taking the test is a part of the course syllabus.

Mrs. Hill asked if the report had been reviewed by 1-89 vocational teachers. Dr. Lindley responded that he did not have their input, but was willing to get it. It was the consensus of the Board to delete number 3, page 3, concerning the effect on racial balance.

There was discussion concerning designating a specific number of criteria to be met in deciding whether to add or delete a program. Dr. Steller suggested in a year or two data would be available to assist in making those kind of judgments. (Note: This item, which was listed for action in the agenda, was deleted from consideration until a later date.)

STAFF REPORT BELLE ISLE TASK FORCE RECOMMENDATIONS

R. #501 BELLE ISLE TASK FORCE REPORT ACCEPTED

(e)

Belle Isle Task Force Report

Ms. Betty Mason, Assistant Superintendent, Instruction and Related Services, reported on the task force's recommendations concerning increasing the enrollment at Belle Isle Secondary School. She stated Belle Isle has the capacity to serve approximately 115 students; presently, 51 students are enrolled. The task force believes allowing TMR, ED, and EMH students to enroll at Belle Isle, as well as students who are awaiting the appropriate placement in secondary school, would enable the district to serve these students better and also increase the enrollment at the school. (Copy of the written report is on file in the office of the clerk.) Mrs. Hill made the motion, seconded by Dr. Heath, for approval of the Belle Isle Task Force Report which includes its recommendations as follows:

RECOMMENDATIONS The task force recommends that students classified as TMR, ED, and EMH be considered for placement at Belle Isle. These students would be the age of middle and high school students. Consideration for placement would be:

The task force further recommends that placement of these students at Belle Isle should not be considered permanent but reviewed regularly. Students should be assigned to regular school settings whenever the appropriate review indicates that such an assignment is in the best interest of the student. The task force also recommends that before any placement of a child categorized by item "a" is made, documentation of intervention used at the referring school should be considered by the team to determine that placement at Belle Isle is the most appropriate and least restrictive for the student.

SUPERINTENDENT'S REPORT 4.

Board Policies to be deleted (Cont'd)

Policy AB THE PEOPLE AND THEIR SCHOOL DISTRICT The Board is mindful that the people are the ultimate governors of public

education and therefore is directly accountable to them through the elective process.

Additionally the Board believes that accountability results in

shared responsibility, involving students, teachers, other employees, the superintendent of schools, the people themselves, as well as the Board. The Board therefore asserts these beliefs and expectations:

Students should be trained at home and by the schools in order that they will learn to hold themselves accountable for their own lives, actions, and decisions as maturing members of a democratic society;

Teachers should hold students accountable for achieving the

objectives of each learning experience;

The superintendent should require teachers and other

employees accountable by working with effort, with intelligence, and imagination in achieving the objectives directly related to stated job responsibilities;

The Board should appoint the most capable person available

to the position of superintendent of schools and require

accountability for providing creative professional leadership and counsel in all aspects of the school district program; 5.

The Board should also accept responsibility for implementing

its mandate to plan, make policy, and lead in the identification of goals and objectives and the resources necessary

for their achievement; and

The people should exercise accountability by maintaining

a vigorous interest in and concern for the students of

the district. .This can be accomplished by electing the most able persons available to serve as members of the

Board of Education, the state legislature, and U. S. Congress.

Further, the people should share constructive

comments, both positive and negative regarding the public schools. Additionally the people should provide resources necessary

for the Board and staff to accomplish the goals and objectives of the district.

Policy BE SCHOOL BOARD WORK SESSIONS

The Board, as a decision-making body, is confronted with a continuing

flow of problems, issues, and needs which require action.

While the Board

is determined to expedite its business, it is also mindful of the importance

of planning, brainstorming, and thoughtful discussion without action.

Therefore, in order to provide its members and the staff opportunities

for planning and discussion, the Board may schedule work sessions as it deems necessary.

Topics for discussion and study will be announced publicly.

Work sessions and retreats will be conducted in accordance with the state law on public meetings.

relationship between the Board and the superintendent.

A formal evaluation

of the superintendent shall be conducted during the second semester. Judgments are to be as objective as possible supported by rationale.

Evaluation to be conducted by the Board as a whole. Evaluation to be two-way, i.e., examination of the working relationships between Board and superintendent.

Policy JFB STUDENT INVOLVEMENT IN DECISION MAKING

A primary task of the school is to create a stimulating learning climate that develops active involvement of students in their education and encourages a spirit of inquiry.

This climate is created when students work

together with school staffs in such activities as planning and evaluating

school programs.

The Board believes that students should: 1.

Be encouraged to participate in planning classroom activities and in improving courses of study;

Be encouraged to develop individual goals;

Be free to express, without fear, their own opinions,

recognizing that every privilege and right has a

corresponding responsibility; 4.

Be involved in the planning of assembly programs and

school-sponsored forums of interest; 5.

Be encouraged to participate in student government

organizations that provide students with a voice in school affairs; and

Be encouraged to participate in a variety of extra-

curricular activities to broaden their educational

experiences.

conform to the higher supremacy of state and federal laws, including the provisions of State and U.S. Constitutions.

Questions concerning the legality of any policy should be

The appeal officer granted the parents until today to submit the evidence that they want to submit. The parents' appeal brief will be due on March 6 and response briefs will be due March 14. "In the Quincy Kaufman case, the hearing is concluded and the Board's hearing brief is due at the end of this week. We're presently working on that and we'll have it ready to file at that time."

(The criteria as stated in the memorandum are herewith a part of these official minutes, as shown below.)

CRITERIA FOR DETERMINING THE VOCATIONAL CURRICULA IN DISTRICT 1-89 All criteria should be considered and contribute to the making of the decision.

Program Performance or Productivity

The productivity data should be considered over a three-year * period. The job placement rate is the number of students employed in ' jobs related to their training, or that have gone on to further education or into the military.

demand. 3.

Long-Term Manpower Demand

It will be necessary to rely on statewide projections of manpower

Cost of Vocational Programs to the Local District

The cost of vocational programs to the local district shall be calculated by subtracting state and federal vocational funding from the total cost of vocational programs.

4. federal.

Funding

The availability of funding at three levels - district, state and Sites

Decisions with regard to the sites at which programs will be offered are necessary:

Availability of appropriate space — the availability of appropriate space to house vocational programs, is a prerequisite to adding the programs.

Sufficient student enrollment — this is needed to keep program costs within an acceptable range. A reasonable minimum pre-enrollment necessary to add a program would be forty percent of maximum daily program size for the first year and sixty percent thereafter. A program which fails for three consecutive years to enroll sixty percent of its maximum enrollment by October 1, should be considered for deletion.

Jhe number of other similar programs in the school — Some examples of similar programs are: Distributive Education and foods management or Vocational Office Education, and Cooperative Office Education.

The state Vocational department can provide the district with retention rates of occupational preparation programs by school. The district will collect this data on Coordinated Vocational Education and Training (CVET) and the special programs for the handicapped.

The number taking and passing a licensure test -- This should be considered with vocational programs preparing students for employment for which a license is required.

Needs of special student population — Some programs, such as Coordinated Vocational Education and Training (CVET), are designed specifically for high risk students at the ninth and tenth grade level. The goal of the Coordinated Vocational Education and Training program is to assist students with the mastery of basic skills necessary to stay in school, and the opportunity to explore some vocational program areas. Other programs such as Interdisciplinary Cooperative Education (ICE) and Distributive Education (DE) are designed to be completed in one hour time blocks. These courses are offered in any high school where enough students are present to justify the course.

Course Duplication

The courses currently duplicated in school districts 1-89 and VT-22 should continue as long as they meet sufficient criteria to justify their continued existence. 7.

HEARINGS

The following persons addressed the Board: 1.

Verna Brock, Patron (Midwest City United School Association), presented to the Board a letter from David Herbert, Midwest City Mayor, in support of changing Oklahoma City/Midwest City school district boundaries. Ms. Brock also requested a review of the district's policy on use of school buildings by community groups, specifically insurance requirements.

Mr. Rubin DeLaCruz, Patron, asked why the HOPE (drug/alcohol abuse counseling) program was not more publicized.

Mrs. Donwerth said the program was operated on a referral basis; that she would ask staff to look into how students are being made aware of the program's existence. LEGAL REPORT Mr. Ronald Day, of the firm Fenton, Fenton, Smith, Reneau & Moon, reported as follows on current legal matters:

ATTORNEY'S REPORT

Special Education Due Process Hearings

"In the Kenny Johnson case, the parents requested a formal appeal review hearing so they could submit additional evidence in the case. We filed an objection on behalf of the Board of Education to the parents' request. We have received a ruling from the appeal officer that the parents' request for a formal review hearing is being denied on the basis that there is sufficient evidence in the record to decide the case. Following the last meeting we did submit an appeal brief to the appeal officer on behalf of the Board. The appeal officer has indicated that we^should have the official appeal decision post-marked no later than March 22.

Special Education Due Process Hearings

ATTORNEY'S REPORT (Continued)

"In the Quincy Kaufman case, following the last meeting, we-submitted a brief to the hearing officer on behalf of the Board of Education. The parents' attorneys elected not to submit a brief and I would anticipate that we will have a written decision in that case in the next couple of weeks. Dowell vs. 1-89

"This Wednesday I'll be leaving for Denver to present oral argument in the Dowell case on behalf of the Board on Thursday morning. At this hearing, no new evidence will be presented; it will simply be a hearing where each side will have twenty minutes to present their arguments to the court. Three judges will be sitting and hearing the case and each of those judges will take part in the official decision. Based on my past experience before that court, we will not receive a decision at the conclusion of the arguments this coming Thursday. I would say it would at least be thirty days before we could expect a written decision, and in a case of this importance, probably longer than that. Sometimes you can get an indication at the oral arguments by the nature of the questions that the judges ask as to which way they're leaning or how they're feeling or which issues they're truly concerned with and bothered by. Upon my return I'll submit a comprehensive report to you of the oral arguments." SUPERINTENDENT'S REPORT

The Staff Development Plan for 1986-87 was presented by the Staff Development Advisory Committee, for action April 14, 1986.

Mrs. Hill thanked Jack Nichols for making copies of the plan available to the Board several weeks before they were required to take action on it. She also expressed a concern that not all schools were represented on the Staff Development Advisory Committee, specifically from high schools. 2.

PROPOSAL TO RELOCATE TMR PROGRAMS AT DUNBAR AND CLEVELAND

Personnel - Programs - Business (g) Consideration was recommended for restructuring the district's special

education program locations for 1986-87 as proposed in a staff report dated April 3, 1986.

Dr. Lindley explained the recommendations for relocating TMR classes for 1986-87 currently located at Cleveland Innovative and Dunbar Schools. No changes were proposed for elementary, K-4 TMR programs. Dr. Lindley, Betty Mason, and Jim Newby responded to questions from the Board.

Representative(s) were allowed six minutes to address the Board concerning the proposed relocations.

Agnes Welton, mother of a Dunbar student, expressed the concerns of Dunbar parents. She said Dunbar was a good program; that the decision to relocate these students should not be made on the basis of needing to save money; that the relocation would not be in the best interest of the TMR students as Dunbar provided the students with an identity. Jacqueline Devereaux, educator, and mother of a Dunbar student, also addressed the Board in opposition to the proposal to close the center. PROPOSAL TO RESTRUCTURE AND RELOCATE ALTERNATIVE MIDDLE SCHOOL PROGRAM TO FACILITY AT CLASSEN SCHOOL

(h)

Consideration was recommended for relocating and restructuring the Alternative Middle School Educational Program (Washington Center) as proposed in a staff memorandum report (Betty Mason and Jeff Maddox) dated March 31, 1986.

Dr. Maddox presented a verbal report, highlighting the written recommendation, and responded to Board members' questions. He recommended the alternative program located at Washington School be redesigned and relocated to the Staff Development facility behind Classen Fifth Year Center in order to: vastly reduce the cost of the program; locate the program more centrally; reduce administrative cost; reduce teaching staff; and allow for a more realistic classroom day for the students. An opportunity was provided for representative(s) of Washington Center to address the Board for a total of six minutes concerning the proposal. No one spoke on the issue.

PROPOSAL TO RESTRUCTURE GUIDANCE AND COUNSELING PROGRAM

(i)

PROPOSAL TO RESTRUCTURE PUPIL TRANSPORTATION PROGRAM

(j)

Consideration was recommended to restructure the district's Guidance and Counseling Program for 1986-87 as proposed in a staff memorandum (Carolyn Wakely and Betty Mason). Ms. Wakely, Coordinator, Guidance and Counseling, described the proposal for reducing 39 counselor positions; elimination of elementary level counseling services in the present form, and a re-allocation of counseling services at the middle and high school levels. Eight "Elementary Contact Counselors" would serve elementary students within their assigned areas. She said if the recommendation was approved, the counselors whose positions were eliminated would be re-assigned to classroom teaching positions for which they are certified. Ms. Wakley and Mrs. Mason responded to questions from the Board. Consideration was recommended for restructuring the district's Pupil Transportation Program for the 1986-87 school year; to discontinue providing bus transportation for all students, kindergarten through twelfth grade, who live within 1% miles of their assigned school as proposed in a staff report (Darrel Shepard) dated April 1, 1986.

Mr. Shepard explained the rationale for the recommendation and answered Board members' questions. Approval of the recommended changes would cause the district to realize an estimated savings in excess of $200,000 for 1986-87 and eliminate the use of contract bus service. Special education transportation will not be affected. If the proposal was approved, parents would be notified of the changes in pupil transportation before the end of the 1985-86 school year. Dr. Muse suggested that "hazards" which might cause an exception to the 1^ mile rule be*-defined.

Ms. Ennis reviewed the recommendations contained in the written report. She pointed out that Cleveland teachers will be assigned to other locations; that the Cleveland curriculum is simi lariy offered at the district's comprehensive high schools; and that Cleveland has below capacity enrollment. Ms. Ennis and Dr. Lindley responded to questions and concerns.

PROPOSAL FOR RELOCATING CLEVELAND TMR CLASSES AND TRANSFERING ALL OTHER CLEVELAND STUDENTS

An opportunity was afforded representative(s) from Cleveland Innovative High School to address the Board for a total of six minutes concerning the the above stated recommendation.

(l)

Ms. Lana Tyree stated she had been retained by the Cleveland Innovative High School students to represent them and speak on their behalf. She objected to the procedures utilized to effect the elimination of the program; and stated the agenda was defective for the purpose of enacting a school closing that evening as the Board's policy on closing schools (FL) had not been suspended. Two students and one parent as follows also spoke, expressing their feelings on why the school should not be closed: Shaun Murray, student; Mickey Coltis, student; Frank Solefsky, parent of Cleveland Innovative student.

HEARING

Dr. Isch, Director of Service Center Operations, explained the necessity for eliminating positions as outlined in his report, and responded to questions from members of the Board.

(n)

PROPOSAL TO ELIMINATE IDENTIFIED BUILDING FUND POSITIONS

Marilyn Wall, ESE-OEA, was allowed three minutes to speak on behalf of classified employees whose positions were identified for elimination. She objected to the cuts proposed and the lack of information provided to employees; and asked that decisions on classified personnel be made at a later date, if still necessary.

HEARING

Consideration was recommended for authorizing interdepartmental moves of four positions in which two (2) positions will be moved from federal fund responsibility to general fund; and two (2) positions will be moved from general fund responsibility to federal funds, as proposed in staff memorandum (Wallace Smith) and report dated March 31, 1986.

RECOMMENDATION FOR INTERDEPARTMENTAL MOVES

Dr. Smith explained that with the transfer of these positions, the difference between the amounts of money was very slight; that it would be easier to track the utilization of the people in the Research Department by having their total responsibility assigned to that department rather than part of it to the federal funds and part of it to general fund.

Washington Center (Continued)

Mrs. Hermes asked Dr. Maddox for his assurance that the operation of the alternative middle school program and the fifth year center program would remain independent of one another. Dr. Maddox stated the only similarity would be that the two programs would be housed on the same piece of ground.

R. #569 ALTERNATIVE MIDDLE SCHOOL PROGRAM TO BE RE-LOCATED TO CLASSEN FACILITY

Dunbar Center Dr. Jesse Lindley, Assistant Superintendent, Educational Programs and Curriculum Development, explained the (revised) recommendation to close Dunbar Center. Students would be reassigned as follows:

Fifth grade students reassigned to Classen Fifth Year Center and Hoover Fifth/Sixth Center Middle school students reassigned to Taft Middle School High school students reassigned to Capitol Hill High School Severe and profound TMR students reassigned to Belle Isle Current Dunbar TMR curriculum to be implemented at the new sites.

The classes will be self-contained; the supplemental instruction in P.E., industrial arts, and home economics will be provided. Dr. Lindley responded to questions from member Sr of the Board.

Dr. Heath asked if during a student's last ("senior") year, the curriculum could be directed toward "linking up" with community service agencies which serve adult retarded persons after they leave the public school system. Dr. Steller said he saw no particular reason why this could not be done. HEARING

Hearing: Mr. Jim Avery, Dunbar Patron, stated his eleven-year-old son attended Dunbar; that the curriculum there had proven itself to be exceptional. He appealed to the Board to not "fragment" a program which is meeting the needs of handicapped students, and requested the Board postpone its decision. Another patron (name unknown) opposed the proposed closing of the Dunbar Center. He stated mainstreaming would be harmful to the students.

R. #570 DUNBAR CENTER TO BE CLOSED; STUDENTS REASSIGNED

Mrs. Hermes made the motion, seconded by Mrs. Floyd, to approve the reassignment and re-location of students, and the closing of Dunbar Center as proposed at the Board's meeting of April 8, 1986 and reiterated during this meeting.

Cleveland Center (Continued)

related a recommendation made by Cleveland parents and students that the entire Cleveland school population be allowed to transfer to one school site (Northeast or Northwest High School).

HEARING

Hearing: Mr. Doug Loudenback, Cleveland Patron, suggested the decisions to close centers were being made too hastily; agreed the Board was compelled to effect budget reductions, but disagreed with complete elimination of programs. A woman patron (name unkown) urged the Board to not close the school. Mr. Al Bostick, Artist-in-Residence (BLAC, Inc.) told of his experience with the closing of Classen High School the previous year. He stated closing Cleveland would be emotionally damaging to the students, and asked for reconsideration. He presented the Board with petitions signed by members of the community in support of not closing the school. Mrs. Thomas made the motion, seconded by Mrs. Hermes, to approve the reassignment and re-location of students and the closing of Cleveland Center as proposed at the Board's meeting of April 8, 1986, and reiterated at this meeting.

Mrs. Hermes expressed a concern with the reassignment of non-TMR students. She requested students currently attending Cleveland be given the option of choosing any high school in the district they would like to attend, with transportation provided at their own expense. The reason for allowing enrollment in any high school was because the Cleveland studentscome from all sections of the district. Mrs. Hill said she also supported giving the Cleveland students a similar option to that given the Classen students; a choice of attending the certain high schools (providing their own transportation) other than their home-based school. She recalled that Classen students who later decided to attend their home-based school (because of transportation problems) had difficutly getting back into the home-based school; she asked that a Cleveland student requesting a transfer to the home-based school be immediately transferred. Following discussion, the motion was perfected as follows:

Mrs. Thomas moved and Mrs. Hermes seconded the reassignment and re-location of students, and the closing of Cleveland Center as proposed at the Board's meeting on April 8, 1986, and reiterated at this meeting. The district will provide all Cleveland students (other than those enrolled in the TMR program) the opportunity to attend the high schools of their choice, with transportation to those schools being the responsiblity of the parent should the selected school not be the home-based school.

HEARINGS The following persons addressed the Board:

Georgia Iannello, President, AFT-OKC, compared the 1981 budget crisis with the one currently facing the district; recalled that in 1981 driver education teachers and guidance counselors had been given an opportunity to defend their programs.

Cindi Nabors, Teacher, Wilson Elementary School, expressed concern about budget reductions in the area of salaries; the impact on individuals and the economy when teachers lose their jobs.

Barbara Randolph, Teacher, Rogers Middle School, remarked on the Board's action to non-renew her contract because of deficient staff development points; denounced the non-renewal of contracts before the deadline.

Frank Barone, Elementary Guidance Counselor, spoke in favor of maintaining the counseling program in its present form, and asked the Board to reconsider its previous action.

Mr. Tony DeGuisti, AFT-OKC, criticized PRI/DMI, and suggested eliminating district travel, PRI/DMI and the new effective schools program rather than the programs that have been reduced or eliminated.

Pat Musgrave, Patron, disagreed with eliminating district-provided transportation for students living within lk miles of their assigned school.

HEARINGS

LEGAL REPORT Mr. Ronald Day, of Fenton, Fenton, Smith, Reneau & Moon, reported as follows on current legal matters: Special Education Due Process Hearings

"Since my report at the last regular meeting on March 17, we have recevied two decisions in cases. In the Kenny Johnson case, the appeal officer upheld the decision of the hearing officer in favor of the Board of Education. The parents have filed an action in Federal District Court appealing that decision. That is the appropriate procedure to appeal a State Department appeal officer's decision. Under the federal rules of procedure, the Board will be required to file a written answer to that complaint in the latter part of April. "In the Quincy Kaufman case, we received the decision of the due process hearing officer. You'll recall in that case the parents were requesting approximately $25,000 tuition reimbursement for the education of their daughter in North Dakota. The hearing officer denied the parents' request because Oklahoma City Public Schools offered their child a free appropriate public special education at a program at John Marshall High School prior to the time that they enrolled their daughter in North Dakota. I did receive notice that the parents have appealed that decision to the State Department. An appeal officer has been appointed. We have submitted a brief on behalf of the Board to the appeal officer and expect a decision on that appeal in mid-May. Dowell vs. OKC Board of Education

"In the Dowell case, I have a few observations in addition to what Dr. Muse stated in his report. I think it was significant that the court recognized the importance of this case, and they openly stated that during the arguments. They gave each site an additional five minutes to present their arguments in addition to the twenty minutes already provided. Mr. Ted Shaw was the only attorney to appear on behalf of the appellants. None of the other attorneys that appeared at the trial appeared before the Tenth Circuit. The court really did not give any indications during the course of the arguments as to how they might feel, or howthey were leaning, or how they might rule. However, I do feel that we responded appropriately to all the questions they asked with the citation of pertinent facts from the records and case law where necessary. Hopefully in that case we'll have a decision before school starts next September."

ATTORNEY'S REPORT

Mr. Ronald Day, of Fenton, Fenton, Smith, Reneau & Moon, reported as follows on current legal matters: Special Education Due Process Hearings

"We have received some requests from parents of special education students attending Dunbar Center for Due Process hearings concerning the placement of their children for 1986-87. Since all of those hearings involve the same issue, we are seeking to have those hearings consolidated.

Teacher Due Proccess Hearings "Similarly, we have received requests from some tenured teachers for Due Process hearings concerning the non-renewal of their employment contracts for non-compliance with the Staff Development policy. Some of those may be resolved and not require actual hearings if the points are obtained before June 30. These requests are being processed and we'Tl keep you advised as they progress.

NSBA Convention - Mock' Hearing "In connection with the mock hearing that Dr. Heath told you about at the Council of School Attorneys meeting, after the hearing, which was actually a hearing for a non-tenured teacher conducted by a school board, I had the opportunity to speak to one of the attorneys involved who represents the New Mexico State School Boards Association. He informed me that their organization has that complete mock hearing on video tape. I didn't have a chance to discuss details with him about getting that, but I thought if you expressed an interest in seeing it I â&#x2013; would attempt to contact him and see if we could borrow it so you could view it."

SUPERINTENDENT'S REPORT

Special Staff Reports (a)

Executive Summary - Analyses of Eighth Grade Math Texts and Achievement

Dr. John Crawford, Program Leader, Planning, Research and Evaluation Department, reported on a pilot implementation of the Algebra \ book by John Saxon in five middle schools during the 1984-85 academic year. He stated that although the data are not 100% clear, the conclusion appears to be that the Saxon book for eighth grade students is superior and has a positive effect on math achievement above the regular book up to about the 50th,,60th, or 70th percentile. Beyond that, he said, it doesn't appear that it has a textbook effect. Dr. Crawford stated the data were not clear enough for,the Research Department to recommend the use or adoption of the text; however, there are a number of the books currently, in use,in all middle schools. He recommended the results of the study be shared with principals; that the Saxon books be used with students below the 50th or 60th percentile.

STAFF REPORT ANALYSES OF 8TH GRADE MATH TEXTS AND ACHIEVEMENT

Dr. Crawford responded to questions from members of the Board concerning review activities by students not using the Saxon book; possible use of Saxon books by seventh graders; content differences between the Scott-Foresman and Saxon books; student group selection, and other. Mrs. Floyd asked for more information (content analysis) with respect to use of the Saxon h, book by seventh grade students. (A copy of the report is on file in the office of the clerk.)

(b)

First Semester Dropouts

Ms. Pat Watson, Director, Planning, Research & Evaluation Department, commented on first semester dropout data previously given to the Board. She stated a new reporting system is enabling' PRE to build a data base from which a true dropout study can be conducted in the future. Future summaries will contain no duplicated counts; e.g., a student that dropped out during the first semester and again during the second semester was previously counted as two dropouts. (A copy of the report is on file in the office of the clerk.) (c)

Parents will provide "sack lunches" for their children; the program will provide between-hour refreshments. At present, 50 applications for the program have been received. Regarding summer school admi nistrative responsi bi 1ity, Mrs. Hill questioned the ability of one principal to oversee the operation of five elementary schools, and asked why there were no "lead teachers" included in the proposal.

Both Terri Miller, Administrator for School/Student Activites, and Sylvia Lonian, Director of Elementary Schools, wi 1,1 Jt>e.ravailable for administrative support. Mrs. Hill requested that staff reconsider the "lead teacher" concept (for all levels) in order to have someone in charge at each site.

Dunbar Center - Due Process Hearing Requests "As you know, the administration has received requests from the parents of approximately 20 special education students attending the Dunbar Center for Due Process Hearings. Through these requests, the parents are seeking a determination that their children be allowed to remain at Dunbar under their present existing programs for school year 86-87. Upon receiving multiple requests for^hearings, we filed an application with the State Department of Education that those hearings be consolidated since they all involve the

LEGAL AND FINANCIAL REPORTS same issue. The State Department has granted that request; they have consolidated the hearings. The State Department set May 16 as the day for the hearing and appointed Dr. Marilyn Friend, an associate professor of education from the University of Oklahoma, as the hearing officer. The attorneys for the parents filed an objection with the State Department and sought to have Dr. Friend removed for alleged partiality. We objected to the parents' attempt to remove the hearing officer on the basis that she had demonstrated no partiality. Today I received a letter from the State Department advising that they're not going to remove Dr. Friend, and that she will remain as the appointed hearing officer.

ATTORNEY'S REPORT

"The parents have also requested that the date of the hearing be continued due to a conflict with their attorney's docket. As of this date, the hearing is still set for May 16. I have not received any word that it is going to be continued." Treasurer's Report

4. REMARKS SUPERINTENDENT

Remarks Dr. Stell er commented on a recent AASA Meeting he attended where various speakers discussed national educational legislation. He said he learned Chapter I funding will be reduced a great deal over the next couple of years, one reason being that there is no built-in political constituency working in support of Chapter I programs for disadvantaged children.

At the state level, Dr. Stell er said believed the reduction of "hold harmless" was inevitable; the questions were when, how much, and how. He said one of the things this district is trying to accomplish in anticipation of the reduction is to change ADA (average daily attendance) in the formulas to ADM (average daily membership). Related to the ADA funding formula issue is "Weighted ADM", whereby special education students and others would be more appropriately weighted than they are in the current funding formula. He said another area in the foundation formula that would help the district is modifications to the transportation appropriation portion.

Dr. Stell er announced the district had placed second in the recent school bus "Road-E-O". Twelve school districts participated; this was the first year for Oklahoma City Public Schools to enter.

candidates for employment to the superintendent.

However, beyond the

suggestion itself, the selection process shall operate without

influence or pressure.

when

All members of the Board are to be informed

prospective candidate's name is suggested by an individual

member. As personnel selected for employment must be recommended by the

superintendent and approved by the Board, recommendations will specify both the position and salary.

Special Staff Report - 1985-86 Test Results Ms. Pat Watson, Director, Planning, Research & Evaluation Department, stated the report showed test scores which measured the students of the district at the time of testing only. She explained that because of the high mobility of students in the district, the scores merely give information concerning how a particular group of students performed within a given school year. In an August report to the Board, she said, would be information concerning minimum competency criteria and some meaningful ways to interpret the scores from year to year. Ms. Janie Hall, Standardized Test Specialist, gave a synopsis of the report. Two achievement tests were administered this year; the Metropolitan Achievement Test (part of Oklahoma state assessment program), and the California Achievement Test (administered each year by the district). The MAT measured the general categories of reading, math, language, spelling, science, and social studies; the CAT, reading and math. She noted the district's students' achievement on the MAT compared to a national norming sample and their achievement relative to other students in Oklahoma. In both cases, the district's students scored below 50, 50 being considered average. The CAT median percentile scores showed students in 1986 did as well as or better than they did in 1985. Mrs. Hill expressed her disappointment that test scores (both CAT and MAT), collectively, did not reach the 50th percentile. Mrs. Floyd and Mrs. Hermes also remarked that the scores were not satisfactory; that priority attention should be given to improving them. Dr. Stell er commented that CAT scores have consistently improved; however, they have not improved enough. He said over the summer staff would be analyzing the test scores, identifying specific subjects and specific sub-tests, etc., and planning for improving all instruction. He pointed out that in the report are examples of schools from all over the district that are making good progress or that are already high achieving schools.

REMARKS SUPERINTENDENT

Remarks Dr. Betty Mason, Assistant Superintendent, Instruction and Related Services, reported on summer school for 1986. She recalled that in a earlier report to the Board some doubt was expressed that there would be sufficient elementary through middle school summer school enrollment because of the loss of Chapter I funding. As of June 2, only 59 youngsters had enrolled in summer school, elementary through fifth grade. Five sites were designated for summer school; however, at no one site were there as many as 20 students enrolled. She reported that at the middle school level, a total of only 28 students had enrolled. Therefore, she stated, it would be highly unlikely that there would be a summer school program, elementary through middle school, for 1986. She said staff would be available June 3 (deadline for enrollment) to enroll any additional students. If enrollment reaches 100, the summer*'school program will be offered.

SUPERINTENDENT'S REPORT

Remarks (Continued) Dr. Mason reported that the Page Woodson Summer Academy, to date, has paid enrollment of 40 youngsters to begin the first week of the program. An additional 20 have enrolled to begin the second week. The Summer Academy will go forth as planned.

REMARKS SUPERINTENDENT (Conti nued)

Forty high school students have pre-enrolled in the GEMS program; therefore, the district will be able to offer that program this summer, as well. In other comments, Dr. Steller recognized Dr. Wallace Smith, Assistant Superintendent, Budget and Financial Management, on his retirement after 34 years of service to the district.

Dr. Steller complimented Monroe Elementary School on their recent awards program. He said a variety of awards were presented, including awards for academics, citizenship, and sports.

Concerning school crossing guards, Dr. Steller stated he had been assured by Mayor Coats and others that efforts would be made to put funds for crossing guards back in the City's '86-87 budget. PTA organizations have expressed their intent to lend support. The school district has funds budgeted for crossing guards for 1986-87. It is hoped the same agreement can be reached with the City for sharing the cost of the salaries as last year. Dr. Steller said the City should make its decision within approximately one week. Ms. Liz Ennis, Director of High Schools, reported on the efforts to revive the presentation of an award which, in past years, was given to students at the old Central High School who demonstrated outstanding leadership capabilities, service to the school, and scholastic achievement. Southwestern Bell Telephone, in collaboration with the school district and Central High School Alumni Association, will present the award to students from each of the district's high schools beginning next school year.

PERSONNEL REPORT

On roll call the votes were as follows: Mrs. Floyd, aye; Mrs. Hill, aye; Dr. Muse, aye; Mrs. Hermes, aye; Dr. Heath, aye; Mrs. Donwerth, aye. All aye; the motion carried.

She said the past year had not been easy, primarily because of the revenue picture, but that her job had been made easier because of the commitment of members of the Board, and the efforts of the Superintendent and administration in keeping the Board informed, explaining and educating and giving good, sound rationale for recommendations made to the Board.

LEGAL REPORT \TTORNEY‘S 1EP0RT

Attorney's Report

The Board's attorney, Mr. Ronald Day, of Fenton, Fenton, Smith, Reneau & Moon, reported on current legal matters as follows:

Due Process Hearing - Dunbar Center "The due process hearing concerninq the closing of the Dunbar Center got underway on June 5 and continued through June 6. During those two days, 21 parents testified at the hearing. The hearing will reconvene on June 30 and July 1, and if an additional day is necessary, on July 7. At that time we will start presenting the witnesses for the Board of Education.

Special Education Due Process "In connection with the suit filed in Federal District Court here in Oklahoma City by Kenny Johnson and his parents concerning his special education program, I received a call from the parents' attorney last week advising that the parents are moving out of this district and that they were going to dismiss their lawsuit in Federal Court. We can expect that dismissal in the near future. "In the Quincy Kaufman case, we have not received notice within the 30-day appeal time that the parents are taking that on to Federal District Court. It appears at this time that the previous administrative rulings in favor of the Board are final. That case is now complete."

Special Staff Reports

Pre-School and Extended Day Care Center Fees

Dr. Betty Mason, Assistant Superintendent, Instruction and Related Services, stated the report would contain an historical overview of the pre-school program offerings presented by Christina Kiser, Administrator, Elementary Educational Programs and Curriculum Development; and information on specific pre-school/day care programs and the proposal to increase fees presented by Sylvia Lonian, Director of Elementary Schools. (A comprehensive written report was submitted to the Board prior to the meeting.)

Concerning early entry into kindergarten, Ms. Kiser reported that during 1985-86 two children met eligibility requirements and took advantage of this program (tuition paid by parents).

Ms. Kiser reported that State (grant) funded half-day pre-school programs for four-year-olds are located at Western Village, Eugene Field, Fillmore, and Edwards Elementary Schools. State grants prohibit these half-day programs from charging tuition. All state funded programs for four-year-olds must have a curriculum designed, basic procedures defined by state regulations, and an "early childhood" certified teacher. Edwards and Eugene Field have half-day day care with the state funded pre-school program. The state funded pre-school and day care programs cannot share facilities or materials; students have either pre-school in the morning and day care in the afternoon or vice versa. Western Village and Fillmore have "day care only" programs. Four-year-old pre-school programs are conducted under the supervision of the State Department of Education. The day care programs are supervised by the Department of Human Services.

MINUTES OF MEETING OF JUNE 16, 1986

SUPERINTENDENT'S REPORT

Special Staff Reports

(a)

Pre-School and Extended Day Care Center Fees

Ms. Kiser said the West Nichols Hills Pre-School/Day Care/Extended Day Program, established in the late 1970's, remains a district-directed program, and continues to function under the original program design. This program is for both three- and four-year-old students. This program is operated under DHS regulations and, therefore, has more flexibility than programs operating under State grants. It also provides day care during the summer months for children 3 years through fourth grade. The other program available for extended day care, said Ms. Kiser, is the Prime-Time program, sponsored by the YMCA. There is no direct district responsibility for this program; the district only provides space for the program. In some cases 1-89 classroom teachers are hired by the YMCA to provide the care.

Ms. Lonian presented the recommendations for increasing the fee schedule for programs at West Nichols Hills, Eugene Field, and Edwards. The proposal sought to establish fees that are equitable with fees charged for similar services throughout the metropolitan area; and, also, to better utilize certified early childhood personnel. She explained that the two programs have different basic sources for financial support; West Nichols Hills is fully funded by tuition, but Eugene Field and Edwards are state grant recipients (tuition is paid for day care services, which is licensed by DHS). She said operating these two programs, which operate under different regulations from two different agencies hasn't been financially efficient. The current and proposed fee structures are as fol 1ows: Current Fee

Proposed Fee

3-4 year old pre-school, \ day

$21.00

$25.00

3-4 year old pre-school and day care, all day

$24.50

$29.50

1-4 grade after school day care

$14.00

$19.00

*$10 per day for up to 11 hours daily. Ms. Lonian said the increases were necessary to ensure that programs at the three facilities would have weekly income consistent with weekly expenditures; and to allow for any cost increases of materials, equipment, utilities, and food. It was proposed that the job description of the certified teachers at Edwards and Eugene Field be changed to "Head Teacher". The Head Teacher would be required to supervise staff, hold parent meetings, be responsible for fee collecting, and also teach a determined number of hours daily. Additionally, it was proposed that each center be licensed through the Department of Human Services rather than operated under the direction of the State Department of Education.

At the end of the first semester, Ms. Lonian said, a report would be made .to the Board on the level of efficiency and effectiveness of all programs involved. In February, a long-term proposal for the school district pre-school/day care programs would be presented.

Mrs. Donwerth and Mrs. Hill commended staff for the detailed report on pre-school and day care programs. Dr. Mason acknolwedged the efforts of Rebecca Davis, Elementary Curriculum Supervisor, and Terri Miller, Coordinator, School Related Services, in preparing the written report.

Responding to questions from Mrs. Floyd and Mrs. Hermes, Dr. Mason stated the fee increase was the first requested in two years; that the programs are relatively new, and more is being learned each year about the costs associated with operating them; and that programs partially

! s

funded by the State Dept, are not funded sufficiently. Food cost was cited as one reason higher fees were needed. Concerning whether the proposed fee structure would enable the program to operate "in the black", Dr. Mason said staff was confident they would. Also, she said staff was asking that the district no longer apply for State Department Grants because they add constraints on the programs that increase costs. A change to operating under DHS regulations will allow for a restructuring of the total staffing pattern, which will also cause the district to save money.

Mrs. Hermes asked for information on the success of the Prime Time Programs. Dr. Mason said the YMCA had been responsive in correcting deficiencies (amount of materials and supervision, etc.). She said the report made by YMCA in April was good; and that a report could be made to the Board in the fall of 1986. Mrs. Hill asked Dr. Mason if Prime Time or a simliar program could be made available to students before school. Dr. Mason said staff could check into it.

Equity Committee Report for the 1985-86 School Year

Mr. Elton Matthews, Equity Officer, introduced Reverend Gary Bender, Chairperson of the Equity Committee, and thanked him for his leadership and support of the Equity Committee. He also thanked the committee members for their work. Reverend Bender reviewed the committee's charge, explained the rating form, discussed the ratings of the schools comprising the four quadrants of the district, and made recommendations. He said 64 elementary schools were visited. Learning environment, facilities and equipment, and the school climate were evaluated upon the initial visit. The Committee reported the most serious problems in the district's elementary schools were found in the South Central quadrant.

The committee's comparison between schools by quadrant found that Quadrant I (Northeast) and Quadrant II (Northwest) were overall satisfactory in all areas evaluated; Quadrant III (South) contained a mix of schools rating satsifactory and some which needed attention; Quadrant IV (South Central) drew the most attention because of the high number of schools needing major repair and renovation, due to age and lack of preventative maintenance. The Committee concluded that the passage of a bond issue was imperative to correct serious physical plant deficiencies. They said new roofs, restroom renovation, new classroom furniture, and remodeling and/or updating of cafeteria facilities should be included in the bond issue.

Equity Committee Report for the 1985-86 School Year It was noted that previous bond issues have corrected a great . number of previous problems by providing new windows, repairing/replacing roofs, and other physical plant repairs.

EQUITY COMMITTEE REPORT (Conti nued)

Reverend Bender said the sheer number of schools and their advanced age in many cases put a heavy burden on the district and its maintenance department. The committee members were very pleased, however, with many things they observed in the schools. He stated, "Children are learning. Teachers are teaching". Increasing parental and community involvement was recognized.

The Committee recommended: 1)

3) 4)

The passage of a bond issue to address immediate needs for new roofs, restroom renovation, and cafeteria renovation and updating. District funds should be used to update media centers, and replace/update playground equipment as soon as possible. Continued community participation in the schools should be encouraged, especially from parent groups and adopt-a-school programs. Phase II for the Equity Committee in 1986-87 (with an expanded committee charge).

Mrs. Hermes commended Reverend Bender, Elton Matthews, Betty Mason and the Committee for the report. She said the clearly stated analysis and recommendations for the district's schools would help the board formulate its goals and direction for the next several years. She asked that no schools be eliminated from being monitored for at least one year; that all elementary schools continue to be monitored and add fifth year centers; also, that the committee notify the Board before dropping any schools from the list.

Mrs. Donwerth, Mrs. Floyd, Dr. Steller, and Mrs. Hill congratulated the committee and thanked them for their many hours of work. Mrs. Floyd stressed the need for preventative maintenance in all buildings on an ongoing basis. Dr. Steller suggested a meeting between himself, Mr. Matthews, and Reverend Bender to discuss the committee's charge for 1986-87. (c)

Teacher Evaluation Program Report Mr. Vern Moore, Executive Director, Personnel Services, stated the task force was formed for the purpose of developing a new teacher evaluation program as a result of the House Bill 1466 ("Education Improvement Act of 1985"). Inservice activities are planned for August for all building administrators and all other personnel that will be supervising teachers.

Ms. Villa Rae Carter, Staff Development Coordinator and Chairperson of the Evaluation Task Force, reviewed the criteria of the teacher evaluation instrument. The evaluation program will be monitored throughout 1986-87 by the Research Department and will be revised if necessary. She said the evaluation instrument will have two ratings; "effective" and "not effective". The addition of a teacher evaluation interview will allow for assessment of criteria that are not observable in the classroom. The teacher and administrator must develop a plan for improvement on any criteria on which the teacher is rated "not effective".

Teacher Evaluation Program Report

The observation instrument and summary were discussed by Dr. John Crawford, Project Director, Research Department, and member of the task force. He said the observation measures, in addition to being objective, were all selected because they related in prior research literature to student achievement, particularly in basic skills of reading and math. He commented that there will be useful feedback resulting from this evaluation system. Major additions to the state guidelines were in terms of coding teacher/student behaviors related particularly to teacher expectations; interpersonal relations; and teacher ethics and responsibilities. He said local, district-wide norms will be established next year on many of the measures. In a pilot study conducted in May, 1986, seven principals used the system in 20 teachers' classrooms across all grade levels and across many different subject areas. Dr. Crawford said the evaluation form was revised as a result of the feedback from that study.

There was additional discussion between members of the Board and Ms. Carter concerning revisions to the draft of the manual previously submitted to the Board; the pre-observation conference; homework; and other. Mrs. Hill declared a recess at 9:05 p.m.

Transition Program Review and Expansion

Ms. Christina Kiser, Administator, Educational Programs and Curriculum Development, reported that seven transition classes were initiated in 1985-86 at Adams, Bodine, Edgemere, Polk, Rockwood, Stonegate and Willow Brook.

Because of the success of the students and parent interest, five additional transition classes will be established for the 1986-87 school year at Truman, Lee, Parmelee, Sequoyah, and Spencer. Parents who feel their students would benefit from the program will have the opportunity to transfer in. Ms. Kiser said the inservice training for the new teachers will be condensed into a one-day session. The teachers currently in the program have offered to be mentors for the new transition class teachers.

The attorneys presented their closing arguments to the hearing officer. The hearing officer informed us that it would probably take about three weeks to obtain a transcript of the hearing testimony, which has been ordered from the State Department. The hearing officer asked the attorneys to submit briefs on the case to her within ten days after we receive the transcripts. The hearing officer indicated that she intends to have her decision ready 18 days following the receipt of briefs. If all goes according to schedule, we should have a decision from the hearing officer by August 25, prior to the time that school starts. That decision will be binding, and any aggrieved party will have ten days to institute an appeal to the Oklahoma State Department of Education upon receipt of the decision.

"As you probably know, the District called eight witnesses to testify during the four and one-half days of that case. Three of those witnesses were expert witnesses not employed or otherwise associated with the District. John Corpolongo, with the Oklahoma State Department of Education, testified on behalf of the District, as did Dr. Jim Dike, who is the Director of Special Education for Wichita Kansas Public Schools. Also, Dr. Gail Blighton, who is the State Director of Special Education in the State of Indiana, testified on behalf of the District in the case. The five other witnesses that testified on behalf of the District were District employees, those being Dr. Jesse Lindley, Dr. Jim Newby, Ms. Sandra Johnson, Ms. Karen Cramer-Bradley, and Dr. Jeff Maddox. I want to inform you that all of the Board's witnesses did an excellent job at the hearing; they conducted themselves in a very professional manner, and you would have been proud of them. As soon as we receive the decision from the hearing officer, we'll notify you.

TREASURER'S REPORT

"In light of the action that the Board has taken, we will proceed with filing a motion to stay the mandate at the Tenth Circuit. Thereafter, we will prepare a petition for Writ of Certiorari, and file the same in the United States Supreme Court. In the event the U. S. Supreme accepted the Writ of Certiorari, then they would decide the merits of the case. One thing they could do is reverse the decision of the Tenth Circuit and reinstate Judge Bohanan's decision. Obviously, in light of the action you've taken, that is precisely what we will attempt to do; seek the reinstatement of Judge Bohanan's decision."

Treasurer's Report

Mr. Donald Ladd presented a routine Treasurer's report (a copy will be kept on file in the office of the Board Clerk for five years as authorized by Section 73, School Laws of Oklahoma, 1984, 70-5-122.)

LEGAL AND FINANCIAL REPORTS

Attorney's Report

VTTORNEY'S REPORT

The Board's attorney, Mr. Ronald Day, of Fenton, Fenton, Smith, Reneau & Moon, reported on current legal matters as follows: Dunbar Center Due Process Hearing

"Just a few minutes ago I received the transcript from the State Department containing the sworn testimony in the hearing. That's quite a bit earlier than we anticipated. Due to the rulings of the hearing officer, the attorneys will be required to file briefs within the next couple of weeks. The effect of that will be to move up the time the hearing officer will hand down her decision. I think that will ensure that all parties concerned will have a decision well before school starts next September.

Dowell v. 1-89 "In the Dowell case, we received word from the Tenth Circuit last Friday that they have granted the Board's Motion to Stay the Mandate pending the Board's application to the U. S. Supreme Court for Writ of Certiorari. The effect of that stay will be to put the Tenth Circuit's decision on hold until the U. S. Supreme Court has the opportunity to review the petition. There is one condition, however. The petition must be filed in the U. S. Supreme Court before August 15, 1986, and the Tenth Circuit must receive notice of that in order for the stay to continue. So long as those conditions are met, the stay will remain in effect until the Supreme Court passes one way or the other on the Board's petition." i

Level III Hearing Request Dr. Stell er asked Mr. Day to comment on the request for a Level II hearing (Don Elkins). Mr. Day responded that he had just received the packet of materials as he arrived at the meeting. He requested at least one day to review the materials before advising the Board on whether or not to proceed with a hearing in the matter.

General Business ----------------------------The following item was deleted from consideration until August 4, 1986 Mrs. Hill explained the parties involved from Oklahoma Electrical Supply had been previously notified the Board would consider the item on August 4, 1986. (Item shown as it appeared in the agenda.) In regard to written communications from Mr. E. "Bud" Griffy, Oklahoma Electrical Supply Company, dated June 30 and July 1, 1986, containing two requests, i.e., a request regarding Change Orders and a request for a "third party" panel; recommend the Board deny requests to accept Change Orders, bid packages 1-4, in the amount of $96,975.32, 1984 Bond Issue Electrical Modernization Projects, and for the establishing of a "third party" hearing panel.

ATTORNEY'S REPORT

LEVEL III COMPLAINT OF DON ELKINS

Attorney's Report

Mr. Ronald Day reported to the Board concerning the appropriateness for the Board to conduct a hearing on a Complaint filed at Level III by Don Elkins. Mr. Day reviewed procedural provisions in the negotiated agreement for building administrators relevant to the Board's decision in this matter. Complaint Hearing

Mr. Day, serving as hearing officer, announced the Level III Hearing on the Complaint of Mr. Don Elkins, Principal within the district, pursuant to the terms of the negotiated agreement of the parties. The following persons participated in the discussion:

1. 2. 3.

Don Elkins, Complainant Michael Barlow, representative for Don Elkins Tom R. McConnell, representative for the School District Administration, from the firm of Jerry L. Steward & Associates

All members of the Board confirmed they had received and reviewed the narrative statement and supporting documents prepared by Mr. Barlow on behalf of Mr. Elkins; also, that they had received and reviewed the narrative statement on behalf of the administration prepared by Mr. McConnell.

Mr. Day asked if both parties agreed that the July 25 narrative submitted on behalf of Mr. Elkins had attached to it the same documents originally identified as having been seen by the Board, which were the original Level I, II, and II Complaints, the disposition made at each level, and a proposed amendment to the proposed complaint. Mr. McConnel pointed out that attached to Mr. Elkins narrative was an added notation under "B", "Statement of Complaint", which expanded the "Board Policy or Regulation Violated" to include: "Art. 4, Sec. B, 1, 2, 3". (This notation referred to an amendment to the original complaint.) Mr. Barlow stated he interpreted the action of the hearing officer at Level I as a denial of the amendment to the complaint. Mr. McConnell stated he agreed that including the attempted amendment was proper for this hearing, and acknowledged he had mistakenly included copies from the amended statement of complaint in his narrative rather than the original complaint. Mr. Barlow stipulated the Level I Statement of Complaint attached to the administration's amended narrative statement was a true, accurate and correct copy of the complaint which was in fact filed by Mr. Elkins dated June 4, and filed June 5, 1986. Mr. Barlow objected that the Level II Narrative submitted on behalf of administration was filed one day late, in violation of Board Policy; and that the narrative was submitted not by the hearing officer at Level II as specified in Board Policy, but by Mr. McConnell, the administration's representative. Mr. McConnell responded that the Negotiated Agreement did not speak to narratives, therefore the Administration was not required to

| | | | |

I |

373

MINUTES OF MEETING OF JULY 28, 1986

Complaint Hearing comply with the time limit. Mr. Day ruled that the Negotiated Agreement for Building Administrators would control; however, any additional provisions imposed by the Board Policy concerning complaint procedures would govern. Therefore, the narrative submitted on behalf of the administration was to be excluded due to the fact that it was not timely filed.

LEVEL III COMPLAINT OF DON ELKINS (Continued)

Mr. McConnell objected to the filing of any narrative based upon the fact that no hearing was held at Level II. Mr. Day stated the regulation did not refer to the fact that a hearing must be conducted, only that if the complainant is not satisfied with the decision rendered at Level II he/she may appeal to Level III. In response to a question from Mrs. Hermes concerning the legality of amendments in this case, Mr. Day stated that both parties (principals bargaining unit and Board of Education) had mutually agreed on the restrictive provisions that 1) limit them to timely filing within ten days; and 2) restricts them to the specific allegations identified in the original complaint; that these clauses would supercede the general law encouraging liberal amendments.

Mrs. Hermes made the motion, seconded by Mrs. Floyd, that having reviewed the original Level I, Level II and Level III complaints which were filed along with the written dispositions made at Level I and Level II, having reviewed the narrative statement submitted on behalf of Mr. Elkins which included a proposed amendment to the Level I Complaint; and having reviewed the confidential legal opinion submitted by the Boardâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s attorney which reviews relevant provisions of pertinent policies, regulations, and the principals' agreement, that the Board remand the Complant to Level II with the following instructions: 1)

that a hearing be scheduled and conducted to determine if Exhibit GCN-E8, Form GCN-E9 or Regulation GCN-R1 were violated;

that the hearing officer not consider whether any other provisions in Policy GCN or its implementing regulations and exhibits were violated due to the fact that same were not raised in the original complaint; and

that the hearing officer not consider whether Articles 4, B, and 6, D of the agreement for building administrators were violated since same were not raised in the original Level I complaint;

further, that it be understood the Board's action is based purely on procedure and thus should not be construed, even implied, as expressing the Board's view on the merits, which it has not yet heard. On roll call the votes were as follows: Mrs. Floyd, aye; Mrs. Thomas, aye; Mrs. Hermes, aye; Dr. Heath, aye; Mr. Williams, aye; Mrs. Hill, aye. All aye. Mrs. Hill declared the motion carried.

Mr. Barlow objected to the remedy contained in the motion, alleging a procedural error was made in that no Level II hearing was scheduled and held, and the decision not rendered, within the five days as set forth in the negotiated agreement; that the complainant, therefore, had the right to appeal to Level III. Mr. Day responded that the Board's action in its remand to Level II instructed the Level II hearing officer to not only consider violations of Exhibit GCN-E8 and Form GCN-E9, but also any violation in regulation GCN-R1. He also pointed out that the Board is not precluded from ultimately hearing the merits in this case.

COMMENTS MRS. THOMAS

"To Betty Hill, President; and Members of the Board:

"Prior to my becoming a member of the Board of Education on April 22, 1985 I worked for many years as a classroom teacher and as a school principal in*the Oklahoma City Public School System. I also spent a short time in a central office administrative assignment. I knew at

MINUTES OF MEETING OF AUGUST 18, 1986

BOARD MEMBER COMMENTS the time when I departed the schools that I would, at a future date, ask to be returned to a building to work with the students and teachers. The year and a half which I have spent as a member of the Oklahoma City Board of Education has been a very rewarding experience. During my time as a member of the Board I have also stayed in direct contact with schools and education by pursuing my Ph.D. in Secondary Administration at the University of Oklahoma and through my consultative services for the United States Department of Education in that department's-Secondary School Recognition Program.

COMMENTS IRS. THOMAS_______ |

t 5 5

"Many good things have happened, and are even about to happen. Three very important happenings in which I have participated are the hiring of an effective superintendent, the selection and putting into place of an instructional effectiveness program, and the development of a manageable number of concise board goals. I feel that I am a part of what's going on. It is with mixed emotions that I am submitting my letter of resignation as a member of the Board of Education with an effective date and time on Monday, August 18, 1986. I will ask to be returned to a school building by my application for the principal's position which is vacant at John Marshall High School. This request of accepting my resignation shall be acted upon at the Board meeting on August 18, 1986 under item 7 under General Business. The urgency of need for naming of a principal at John Marshall and the possibility that a candidate would not be located by the opening date of the 1986-87 school year has motivated me to my decision at this time. If my application is approved I will soon return to the building which was my last school assignment.

"I wish to thank the members of the Board, the Superintendent, patrons, and all district employees for permitting me to be a member of the Board, a school employee, and really a part of what you are. Thank you for everything." COMMENTS MR. WILLIAMS

Mr. Williams announced his second monthly Public Forum meeting to be held Tuesday, August 19 at 7 p.m. at the Midwest City Hall. He also commented on a letter he received from the United States Ambassador to El Salvador. Mr. Williams commented he had enjoyed serving on the Board with Mrs. Thomas the two months he had been a member of the Board.

COMMENTS MRS. DONWERTH

Mrs. Donwerth reported on the organizational meeting of the Retirees of Oklahoma City School System (ROCSS). She said the members are excited and enthusiastic about their new organization. The next meeting is scheduled for Tuesday, September 25, 1986.

Adopt-A-School & School Volunteer Programs

Ms. Saundra Vallejo, Coordinator of Adopt-A-School and School Volunteer Programs, gave annual reports on the two programs. Both programs have generated national attention; the American Institute of Architects is planning to adopt the "Design a Learning Center in Space" program, which started in Oklahoma City during 1985-86, as their national program for the 1986-87 Young Astronaut Program.

Annual Report Adopt-A-School and School Volunteer Prograr

The Adopt-A-School Program has grown from 30 partnerships in 1984-85 to over 380 partnerships as of May 1986, making it one of the fastest growing partnership programs in the country. She described many of the current and proposed partnerships between schools and area businesses and service organizations. Services and materials worth over $2.1 million have been donated to the district through this program. This year's emphasis will be concentrated in four areas:

Developing partnerships for the 17 schools currently without a business adopter. (These schools are involved in the districtwide adoptions, but do not have a one-to-one business adopter.)

Monitoring existing partnerships.

Improving the quality of the existing partnerships.

Continuing to develop new di strict-wide adoptions which will support the instructional activities of our district.

In the School Volunteer Program, Ms. Vallejo said last year (1985-86) 1,234 volunteers contributed 59,860 hours to the district in a variety of volunteer services. The estimated value of the school volunteers' time is $419,000. The newly formed Retirees of Oklahoma City School System is expected to be another excellent source of support and volunteers for the school district.

(Copies of the comprehensive written reports were provided to* members of the Board.)

Remarks Dr. Stell er commented on a performance by the Khmer American Association of Oklahoma he attended on Saturday evening, August 16, at N. W. Classen. The group is comprised of Cambodian refugees, many of whom have children in the district's schools. Dr. Steller introduced the following new principals: Dr. Phil Odom, Eisenhower; Mr. Joe Hornbeak, Western Village; Ms. Beverly Story, Longfellow; Mr. Ken Lease, Bodine; Ms. Roxie McBride, Buchanan; Mr. Bob Brown, Martin Luther King; Dr. Doris Henry, Edgemere.

HEARINGS Eight persons addressed the Board:

HEARINGS

Ms. Ruth Ainsley, Oakridge Patron, expressed her concern that with the reduction of bus transportation, children in her area will have to cross S. E. 44th to get to school. She presented a petition signed by 33 persons in her neighborhood asking for bus transportation to be resumed. Mr. Mike Brown, Pupil Transportation Administrator, was asked to meet with Ms. Ainsley to discuss the problem. Mr. Brown will be available to meet with this parent group and others to respond to their questions.

Mr. Don Eckroat, representing Carverdale, Edwards, and Creston Hills neighborhood areas, requested "closed campus" status for district high schools because of neighborhood complaints that truant students were causing problems. Mr. Eckroat was referred to Ms. Ennis, Director of High Schools.

Ms. Cindy Van Kley, Ms. Mary Hetts, Ms. Emma Campbell, Ms. Carolyn Watson, and Mr. Gerald Pettengill, patrons from the Spencer area, all spoke to the bus transportation issue, expressing concern about the effects the reduction in pupil transportation will have on them and their children next year. They were also referred to Mr. Brown.

Mr. John Turpin, Teacher, Rogers Middle School, discussed pledge cards and the possibility of a bond election. He said teachers would probably be more supportive of a bond issue after the completion of negotiations.

Mrs. Floyd stated she was concerned about the amount of space available for the expected increase in the number of cars dropping off and picking up students at districts schools this fall. Dr. Steller responded that re-designing driveways, etc., will help at many of the schools with this problem. $ I

LEGAL AND FINANICAL REPORTS Attorney's Report

ATTORNEY'S REPORT

The Board's attorney, Mr. Ronald Day, of Fenton, Fenton, Smith, Reneau & Moon, reported on current legal matters as follows: Dunbar Due Process Hearings "Following the last regular meeting we did receive the hearing officer's decision in the Dunbar case. As you've probably heard by now, the hearing officer did uphold the Board's decision to close the Dunbar Center and to relocate its students in a less restrictive environment. Late last Friday I received a notification from the parents' attorney indicating that they were going to appeal that decision to the Oklahoma State Department of Education. I anticipate that later this week we'll be receiving word from the State Department about who the appeal officer will be and any applicable timelimes regarding that appeal. I anticipate that appeal can be resolved within 60-90 days.

Dowell vs. Board of Education

"I'm pleased to report that at this time the Board's petition for Writ of Certiorari has been filed with the United States Supreme Court, Under the applicable rules, the respondents will have 30 days within which to file a written response to the Board's petition. After that, the case will be in the Supreme Court's hands for decision. I anticipate that it will be at least a couple of months before we receive word whether or not they agree to accept this case and decide it. Later on this week I will be providing you with copies of the printed petition that was filed on your behalf with the court." TREASURER'S REPORT

Treasurer's Report

Mr. Donald Ladd presented a routine Treasurer's report. He stated that the District's cash position was considerably worse than he had seen it in a number of years. Building Levy warrants are being issued as non-payable to be paid at a later date with interest as usual for this time of year; however, he said this may be the first year in several years General Fund warrants will have to be issued as non-payable.

ATTORNEY'S REPORT

The Board's attorney, Mr. Ronald Day, of Fenton, Fenton, Smith, Reneau & Moon, reported on a current legal matter as follows: Dunbar Due Process Hearings

"After the last meeting, we received notice in the Dunbar case from the Oklahoma State Department of Education that they had appointed Mr. Glen Kastner as the appeal officer in the case. As you may know, Mr. Kastner is employed by Putnam City Public Schools, and I believe he's director of their special services department. The parents filed a motion with the State Department seeking to have Mr. Kastner disqualified on the grounds of alleged partiality. After reviewing that matter, the State Department overruled the parents' request, so at this time Mr. Kastner remains the appeal officer. We have received correspondence from his office indicating that he desired to have appeal briefs on behalf of all parties submitted to him by the 19th of this month. We are working on the brief of Oklahoma City Public Schools and will have it ready for filing by the 19th."

Remarks Dr. Stell er called on Dr. Jesse Lindley, Assistant Superintendent, Financial Management, to report on transportation funding in the State of Oklahoma. Dr. Lindley reviewed state statutes relative to authorization for school districts to provide transportation, how transportation funding formulas are calculated, and reviewed the report of a 1985 special joint committee formed by the legislature to make recommendations to seek a more equitable costbased formula for financing education in Oklahoma. He stated as a result of the decreased funding support from the state, the Oklahoma City School district had to reduce its transportation budget. He pointed out that Norman and Tulsa school systems already enforce the 1% mile law.

Darrel Shepard, Executive Assistant to the Superintendent, reported on the district's efforts in working with parents to ease the problems related to the transportation policy. Staff have met with various parent groups, principals, city councils, and traffic commissions. Results have included the addition of crossing guards in some areas, establishment of car pools, before and after school programs, the use of volunteers, and the use of parent groups. Films concerning walking safely to schools have been made available to schools. Parents have been encouraged to work through their PTA's or parent support groups. He pointed out that change in the legislation is needed which would allow for some type of reimbursement for transportation provided for students who live closer than 1% miles from their assigned school.

Mr. Mike Brown, Pupil Transportation Administrator, responded to questions from Mrs. Hermes concerning speed limits and school zones in Spencer. Mr. Brown said the city manager has indicated a willingness to work with the district in lowering some speed limits. He said he would pursue, through Oklahoma County, adding flashing lights to some school zone signs. Mrs. Hill suggested painting lines on streets to further inform drivers that they are within a school zone.

SUPERINTENDENT'S REPORT 4.

Remarks

REMARKS SUPERINTENDENT

Concerning class size and adjustments in teacher assignments, Dr. Steller called on Dr. Lindley and Mr. Vern Moore, Executive Director, Personnel, to report. Dr. Lindley discussed S.B. 426, the legislation which regulates class size. S.B. 426 will not permit a school district to count in its average daily attendance more than 24 students in grades 1-3 or 25 students in grades 4-5. This limitation does not apply, however, if creating another class would cause that class to be less than 10 students, and as long as an aide is employed to work with the teacher. He also reported on the district's return to the practice for 86-87 of asking special education teachers to be teacher of record for no more than ten students. Mr. Moore stated the transfer and allocation of teachers to meet the needs of actual enrollment are progressing according to the scheduled timelines. Staff transfers will be completed 2-3 weeks earlier this year than years past due to implementation of task force recommendations, as well as commitment by teachers and principals to get staffs stabilized. Elementary school adjustments should be completed on September 22; secondary schools should be completed by September 24.

Dr. Steller said the district's enrollment is a little over 100 students more than were enrolled at this time last year.

As a follow-up to an item brought before the Board by a patron at the last Board meeting, Dr. Steller stated he had given instructions to administrative staff to review all communications and/or actions recently taken by Central Food Service related to Policy GCPC/GDPC (Retirement of Staff Members). Any employee separated from the district due to the policy not being entirely adhered to shall be given the option to re-apply for employment. Dr. Steller commented that if various media reports that the state will run out of money after the first of the year are true, the district will likely face additional cuts in revenue.

HEARINGS The following persons addressed the Board:

Mr. Mark Davis, Patron, thanked the Board for allowing his grandmother to re-apply for employment in the Central Food Service Department.

Ms. Beverly Hays, Kindergarten Teacher, Wilson School, stated recent decisions to no longer provide specialist-taught music and P.E. for kindergarten students, as well as allowing up to 29 students per teacher, were not in the best interest of students.

Ms. Jerrie Reagan, Patron, spoke concerning street safety and the need for pupil transportation in the Spencer area.

Ms. Nancy Hagan Wickett, representing Concerned Parents of Oakridge Elementary School, presented a petition signed by 58 parents. Ms. Wickett's group requested bus transportation because their children have to cross S. E. 44th Street to get to school without crossing guards, blinking lights, or cross-walks. She also said children were walking through tunnels underneath S. E. 44th. She asked for bus stops at Oak Cliff Apartments and on the south side of 44th Street.

Ms. Pat Murphy expressed disagreement with the district's decision to eliminate bus transportation for students living less than 1% miles from their assigned school.

HEARINGS (Continued)

HEARINGS CONTINUED

Mr. Tony Bolodar, Oakridge Patron, spoke concerning the safety hazard to children of a drainage ditch underneath S. E. 44th Street, and asked for bus transportation.

Cindy Van Kley, Patron, told of parents' efforts to set up early morning parent monitors at the school, to establish on-site care provided by the YMCA, and other. She asked for bus transportation for children with the most need, decided on a case-by-case basis. She hoped legislation could be enacted allowing school districts to charge for bus transportation. She shared with the Board some letters written by fourth grade students concerning bus transportation.

1. 2. 3.

Tom Daniel, Appellant David O'Dens, Appellant's Representative Vern Moore, Executive Director, Personnel, District's Representative

SPECIAL BUSINESS LEVEL III GRIEVANCE HEARING

Mr. O'Dens identified the grievant's exhibits as follows: Mr. Daniel's contract signed July, 1982; a letter addressed to Mr. Daniel from Mr. Moore dated April 4, 1986; a letter addressed to Mr. Daniel from Mr. Moore dated April 9, 1986; a letter from Mr. Daniel to Ms. Wycoff dated August 6, 1986; a letter from Mr. Daniel to Mr. Moore dated August 6, 1986; a letter addressed to Mr. Daniel from Ms. Wycoff dated August 14, 1986; a letter to Mr. Daniel from Mr. Moore dated August 8, 1986; a copy of the Level III Grievance Statement. Mr. Moore offered no objection to the exhibits.

Mr. Moore identified the district's exhibits as follows: certified letters sent from Personnel (notification process); 2 copies of returned receipts (April 8 and April 9 letters to Tom Daniel) indicating certified letters were received. Mr. O'Dens had no objection to Mr. Moore admitting his exhibits into evidence. Opening Statements Mr. O'Dens' opening statement is summarized as follows: Mr. Daniel was employed, signed a continuing contract in July 1982 as a vocational agricultural teacher, and placed on a 12-month schedule, 005. In April 1986 Mr. Daniel was sent a letter indicating his position had come into question. On April 8, the Board voted to eliminate the position; however, at no time was Mr. Daniel provided with the requirements as set out in Oklahoma Statutes for purposes of notification; Mr. O'Dens stated Mr. Daniel's contract, in fact, did continue. He alleged Article I, Section 4, had been violated in that state law (70-ยง6-101) had not been complied with; that Mr. Daniel did not receive notice prior to April 10 that his position had been eliminated.

GRIEVANCE OF TOM DANIEL REMANDED TO LEVEL II

R. #91 GRIEVANCE TO BE HEARD WITHIN PRESCRIBED TIME LIMIT

[ | I

April 9 Mr. Daniel received a letter indicating that although his position was being eliminated, his contract would continue â&#x20AC;&#x201D; no indication that he would be employed as anything other than a vo-ag teacher. Not until July 1986 was there a indication that he was not employed as vo-ag teacher or that he was not being paid on 12-month schedule. This resulted in Mr. Daniel sending letters to Mr. Moore and Ms. Wycoff questioning his status, whether or not he was a vo-ag teacher and whether that had changed. In turn, Mr. Daniels was informed by letter, dated August 8 from Mr. Moore that he had been reassigned as an unassigned classroom teacher. This was the first indication he received that he was no longer employed as a vo-ag teacher. Article 6, Section 5, C, 4, addresses administrative transfers of teachers; provides that notice of transfers in the ensuing year must be done prior to April 10 if possible, and that a specific procedure is set out after April 10 with the approval of the appropriate director. Mr. Daniel is the vocational agricultural teacher with seniority rights. Additionally, Article 8, Section 1, C, concerning disciplinary action, provides that no teacher shall be reduced in compensation without just cause.

Mr. Moore presented an opening statement on behalf of the administration. He stated Mr. Daniel's grievance was filed at Level II on August 8. Exactly five working days later it was filed at Level III because it had not yet been heard at Level II. Mr. Moore admitted the hearing had not been scheduled at Level II; but that there was no intent on the part of the administration willfully to ignore the grievance. Given the circumstances of that time (hearing several other similar grievances at the same time; working to resolve them), requested Mr. Daniel's grievance be remanded to Level II in an attempt to resolve it. Following discussion by both parties and the Board, Mr. Prigmore made a motion, seconded by Mr. Williams, that the Board remand this case, that it be heard at a Level II hearing, and that by doing so the Board reserves its right to hear the appeal at a Level III hearing. On roll call the votes were as follows: Mrs. Floyd, aye; Mr. Prigmore, aye; Mrs. Hermes, no; Dr. Heath, no; Mr. Williams, aye; Mrs. Donwerth, no; Mrs. Hill, aye. Four aye, three no. Mrs. Hill declared the motion carried.

Dr. Heath made a motion, seconded by Mr. Prigmore, that the Personnel office hear this grievance at Level II at the earliest possible date, with the last possible date being five days from now (September 22, 1986). On roll call the votes were as follows: Mrs. Floyd, aye; Mr. Prigmore, aye; Mrs. Hermes, aye; Dr. Heath, aye; Mr. Williams, aye; Mrs. Donwerth, aye; Mrs. Hill, aye. All aye. Mrs. Hill declared the motion carried.

The Board's attorney, Mr. Ronald Day, of Fenton, Fenton, Smith, Reneau & Moon, reported on a current legal matter as follows:

Dunbar Due Process Hearings

"Last Friday we received the appeal ruling in the Dunbar case. I'm pleased to report that the appeal officer appointed by the Oklahoma State Department of Education reviewed the record and upheld the decision of the hearing officer in its entirety. Among other things, the appeal officer concluded that in making the proposed reassignment recommendations, the school district made an appropriate determination on the basis of each individual student; that each student will be provided an appropriate education in the least restrictive environment; that it is not necessary for the students to remain at Dunbar in order to receive an appropriate education; and that the closing of the Dunbar Center was within the statutory authority of the Oklahoma City Board of Education under Oklahoma School Law. That decision Was handed down on October 2. That means the parents, if they so desire, have the right to appeal by filing a suit in either federal or state district court within 30 days."

MINUTES OF MEETING OF OCTOBER 6, 1986

SUPERINTENDENT'S REPORT

The following 1987 Legislative Goals were presented to the Board for discussion (to be voted on at a future date):

Protect state educational funding due to future state revenue reductions.

Full funding for all state mandates, i.e., provide state funding assistance for asbestos removal.

Passage of ad valorem tax reform.

Support changes in state funding formulas to promote fairness, i.e., change ADA to ADM, weight special education students more, revise transportation formula, etc.

Continue "hold harmless" clause unless other changes are made such as ad valorem tax reform to offset loss of revenue for "hold harmless" districts.

Support continued moratorium on class size reduction and/or flexibility in implementation.

Increase local ability to raise revenue without making additional local revenue chargeable in state foundation formula and local control to spend funds.

Enable common schools to get people to vote for local millage once, not every year, with the provision that only additional millage needs to be voted upon by the public. This would also save local districts the cost of holding elections.

Pass a law to reduce monetary awards in liability cases, thereby improving the ability of districts to obtain liability at more reasonable rates.

Repeal law mandating (and, therefore, forcing costly fact finding) the date by which negotiations are to be completed. This year's experience is a good example of why this needs to be done, since many districts are still negotiating long after the opening of school.

Revise reimbursement for drivers education to apply to afterschool programs, as well as summer programs.

Improve upon the law about felonies by putting a requirement on the State Department to check for felony convictions when issuing certificates, rather than each local district, which duplicates efforts.

Provide state funding assistance for asbestos removal.

Less detailed procedures in state laws and in state department regulations, particularly as it might relate to a reduction in paperwork and unnecessary reports.

Further revise workers 1

Change provisions in state law which limit the ability of local districts to recognize students for achievements and promoting school district successes like currently available to private and/or vocational districts.

Raise cap on teacher retirement, depending upon the specific legislation.

Support revision of the constitution to allow approval of school bond issues by a simple majority.

compensation to reduce drain on school budgets.

Mrs. Floyd asked for the Legislative Goals to be prioritized.

MINUTES OF MEETING OF OCTOBER 6, 1986

SUPERINTENDENT'S REPORT 4.

Remarks

Darrel Shepard, Executive Assistant to the Superintendent/Board Clerk, reported on efforts to enter into an agreement with the City of Midwest City whereby the district would reimburse the City one-half of crossing guard salaries for guards located near 1-89 schools in that area. Mr. Tommy Melton, City Clerk for the City of Midwest City, indicated in correspondence to Mr. Shepard that Midwest City wants the school district to administer the program, and that Midwest City would reimburse the district for one-half the salaries.

REMARKS SUPERINTENDENT

Mr. Shepard recommended that the City of Midwest City's counter proposal be rejected based on the precedent already established by the agreement with the City of Oklahoma City; the liability risk involved in employing crossing guards; and the fact that a school district's authority should extend only to the limits of the school grounds. Mr. Ronald Day, the Board's attorney, concurred in Mr. Shepard's recommendation. The Board took no action on the counter proposal of Midwest City; the previous proposal by the Board (8/18/86) is to be pursued.

They remarked on conversations they had while there with individuals from other urban districts around the country, and gave brief reports on several of the workshops they attended.

Mrs. Hill also reported on activities of the CUBE Steering Committee on which she serves.

Mrs. Hill noted that while at the conference board members were asked for Chapter I and Chapter II "success stories" that CUBE staff could use. Mrs. Hill asked the superintendent to compile this information. Concerning the upcoming National School Boards Association Annual Convention, Mrs. Hill stated that Oklahoma City Public Schools has been selected to present a clinic, which is entitled, "We Cut Six Million Dollars But Only Three Employees". She said Board members who plan to attend the convention should complete their registration forms as soon as possible.

LEGAL AND FINANCIAL REPORTS

Attorney's Report The Board's attorney, Mr. Ronald Day, of Fenton, Fenton, Smith, Reneau & Moon, reported on a current legal matter as follows:

Dowell vs. 1-89

"As you know, today we received word over the wire service that the Supreme Court denied the Board's petition for Writ of Certiorari to review the Tenth Circuit's Decision. We also learned today that the Supreme Court denied a similar Petition for Certiorari to review a similar issue in the case involving Norfolk (Virginia) Public Schools, the Riddick case. Obviously, these are disappointing decisions to school districts. Not only do they affect the Oklahoma City Public Schools, but because of the apparent conflict which exists between the Riddick and the Dowell decisions, the court's refusal to hear the issues will undoubtedly have an impact on all other school districts in this country that have been operating under a court-ordered desegregation plan and that have acquired unitary status. "The action today was not an opinion on the merits of this case. In other words, the high court was not ruling on validity of the neighborhood school plan or on the merits of this case. The court simply refused to hear the issue that we presented in our Petition for Writ of Certiorari, and allowed the decision of the Tenth Circuit Court of Appeals to stand. You'll recall that the Tenth Circuit, likewise, did not rule on the constitutionality of the plan or the merits of the case, but reversed the case on a procedural issue and remanded it back to Judge Bohanan for a new trial where the parents would have a full and complete opportunity to present any and all evidence they wanted to offer on the case. "The decision does not undo the neighborhood school plan that is in effect at this moment. What it does do is effectively remand the case for a new trial before Judge Bohanan, and Judge Bohanan will be the one who will ultimately rule on the constitutionality of the plan.

LEGAL AND FINANCIAL REPORTS Attorney's Report (Continued)

ATTORNEY'S REPORT (Continued)

"So far as timelines, I really have no estimate of what we can expect insofar as reaching a new trial. That would depend upon Judge Bohanan's docket, his time schedule. I'm sure he would want to consult with counsel, but it would probably also involve consideration of the dockets of both sets of attorneys involved. I would anticipate, however, that the court would set it down as quickly as possible, leaving adequate time for discovery in pre-trial motions on the part of both parties." i

TREASURER'S S REPORT_____________| I i

Mr. Day recommended that under "New Business" the Board go into Executive Session for confidential communications concerning certain aspects of the Dowell case.

Mr. Donald Ladd presented a routine Treasurer's report. (Copy of the written report on file in compliance with State statutes in the office of the clerk.)

HEARINGS

The following persons addressed the Board:

EARINGS

■f I-

Mr. Jim Moore, patron, John Marshall High School, requested the Board sanction and implement varsity soccer in the high schools throughout the District, and also allow P. E. credit for the students currently participating in un-sanctioned soccer. He presented the Board with a list of 108 signatures of students from two high schools who are interested in a soccer program.

Mr. Richard Burton, Teacher, Northeast High School, spoke in support of an officially recognized soccer program.

Mr. John Courtney, Patron, Northeast H. S. and Taft Middle School, encouraged district-supported soccer.

Dr. Steller responded that district staff were currently reviewing all athletic programs; a report with recommendations will be made in the spring, and soccer will be included in the report. He said he would ask staff to look at the issue of P. E. credit for soccer prior to the time the other report is made.

| ij H |

I|i

Several members of the Board expressed appreciation to Mr. Moore for the comprehensive report he submitted. Mr. Prigmore, Mrs. Floyd, and Mr. Williams stated they supported sanctioned soccer. Mrs. Hermes cautioned that budget restraints may delay funding of a soccer program; however, she supported the idea of offering P. E. credit at this time. Dr. Heath also commented about the 1 District's budget, and said the Board would seriously consider any recommendation I made by the Superintendent concerning soccer. Mrs. Hill recalled that, in the past, financial reasons had prevented the district from sanctioning a soccer program! 4. Dr. Betty Williams, Principal, Capitol Hill High School, spoke in favor of I

the purchase of telephone systems for high six schools (Buildings and Construction item No. 1).

Dr. Norma Cole, Principal, Page-Woodson Fifth Year Center, also supported new telephone systems for district schools. She told of telecommunication problems she experienced in her building.

UNIFNISHED BUSINESS

At the October 6, 1986 Regular Meeting, Mrs. Floyd asked for the Legislative Goals to be prioritized. Based on Board members' comments, the goals were prioritized and listed in the agenda. Dr. Heath made the motion, seconded by Mrs. Floyd, for acceptance of the list of Legislative Goals as they appeared in the agenda (as shown):

Protect state educational funding due to future state revenue reductions.

Full funding for all state mandates, e.g., provide state funding assistance for asbestos removal.

Passage of ad valorem tax reform.

Support changes in state funding formulas to promote fairness, i.e., change ADA to ADM, weight special education students more, revise transportation formula, etc.

Continue "hold harmless" clause unless other changes are made such as ad valorem tax reform to offset loss of revenue for "hold harmless" districts.

Support continued moratorium on class size reduction and/or flexibility in implementation.

Increase local ability to raise revenue without making additional local revenue chargeable in state foundation formula and local control to spend funds.

Support revision of the constitution to allow approval of school bond issues by a simple majority.

Pass a law to reduce monetary awards in liability cases, thereby improving the ability of districts to obtain liability at more reasonable rates.

Provide state funding assistance for asbestos removal.

Revise reimbursement for drivers education to apply to after-school programs, as well as summer programs.

Less detailed procedures in state laws and in state department regulations, particularly as it might relate to a reduction in paperwork and unnecessary reports.

Further revise workmens' compensation to reduce drain on school budgets.

Raise cap on teacher retirement, depending upon the specific legislation.

â&#x2013; Improve upon the law about felonies by putting a requirement on the State Department to check for felony convictions when issuing certificates, rather than each local district, which duplicates efforts. Change provisions in state law which limit the ability of local districts to recognize students for achievements and promoting school district successes like currently available to private and/or vocational districts.

On roll call the votes were as follows: Mrs. Floyd, aye; Mr. Prigmore, aye; Mrs. Hermes, aye; Dr. Heath, aye; Mr. Williams, aye; Mrs. Hill, aye. All aye. Mrs. Hill declared the motion carried.

Mr. McConnell stated he wished to present a procedural matter.

He presented

a petition of the school district administration for the due process hearing setting forth the respondent's assertion that there was no contract from which Mr. Moore could be terminated; therefore, there was no issue to decide. Mr. Jenny stated the appellant's position was that Mr. Moore was employed in 1982 and signed the Vehicular Operator Regulations form, which represented a signed document between 1-89 and Mr. Moore; that he also worked the 82-83, 83-84, and 85-86 school years without any changes in that respect; that in May of 1986 he indicated to his supervisor his desire and intent to continue his employment. He said the letter from Mr. Savage to the Oklahoma Employment Security Commission indicated Mr. Moore had a contract from which he could be terminated. Additionally, he said Mr. Moore did not receive a notice of termination, but a letter stating he was not going to be able to continue his duties as a bus driver.

There being no further objection by the respondent, the following exhibit (in addition to an endorsement of the exhibits offered by the respondent) was admitted into evidence by the appellant: 1)

Letter from James Savage to Oklahoma Employment Security Commission Board of Review, dated October 23, 1986.

Asked by Mr. Day if he could agree and stipulate without the Introduction of any evidence that his client did not have a written, oral or implied contract of employment with the school district for the 1986-87 school year, Mr. Jenny replied "no". Mr. Day stated in order to resolve the issue, the Board would have to hear evidence. He denied Mr. McConnell's motion without prejudice to reconsideration after the introduction of evidence. Opening Statement by Respondent

Mr. McConnell's opening statement is summarized as follows: Tyrone Moore was hired in 1982 as a bus driver; signed the Vehicular Operator Regulations form which states certain causes for termination. In a check of driving records conducted by the District on 8/5/86, it was discovered that on 9/9/84 Mr. Moore was found guilty of reckless driving. Mr. Moore was given notice by Mr. Brown in an August 7, 1986 letter that his conviction for the offense violated Vehicular Operator Regulations and made him subject to dismissal from the School District as a bus driver. Opening Statement by Appellant

Mr. Jenny's opening statement is summarized as follows: The letter from Mr. Brown was the only notice Mr. Moore received, which merely advised he could no longer drive a school bus; that the District's insurance carrier would not insure him. He said he knew of no Board policy which stated an employee could be terminated because of unInsurability by the district's insurance carrier. He cited Regulation EEB-R2 (Safe Driving Standards) as having been violated, and therefore, under the negotiated agreement a basis for termination. He asked that Mr. Moore be paid back wages and be allowed to continue his employment (in another capacity).

Termination Hearing (Continued) PRESENTATION OF WITNESSES FOR RESPONDENT

Witness No. 1 - Michael Brown Direct Questioning by Respondent: Michael Brown, Administrative Supervisor, Transportation Services, testified that in August 1986 he initiated a check of Tyrone Moore's driving record which revealed a conviction for reckless driving in 1984. He described the procedure for generating the list of probable returning employees (drivers) for the ensuing school year; said he notified Mr. Moore by hand-delivered letter that due to his driving record Mr. Moore could not be employed as a school bus driver, and that he directed him to contact Personnel for other placement.

Cross-Examination by Appellant: Mr. Brown stated his intention was to advise Mr. Moore prior to the end of the month that he should not expect to return to work as a school bus driver; that he had no knowledge of any other school district personnel contacting Mr. Moore about no longer being an employee. He also responded to additional questions concerning notification of Mr. Moore's supervisor, Policy GCP, the reason for Mr. Moore's ineligibility to drive, and other. He testified that Mr. Savage's letter to the Board of Review referred to employment termination, but that he (Mr. Brown) did not have the authority to terminate Tyrone Moore.

Direct Questioning by Respondent: James Savage, Personnel Administrator for Employee Relations, testified he wrote the letter to the Board of Review at Tyrone Moore's request because he had been refused unemployment benefits. He said R. E. Harrington Co., the district's unemployment services administrator, recommended a letter be written to the Board of Review for Mr. Moore to submit with his appeal. Mr. Savage confirmed that his intention was to try to help Mr. Moore obtain unemployment benefits; that the letter was not related to nonrenewal of Mr. Moore's contract and was not placed in his personnel file. He also testified concerning the Vehicular Operator Regulations, and the consequences of violating these regulations (termination or transfer). Cross-Examination by Appellant: Mr. Savage stated no effort was made to find other employment for Mr. Moore within the district because there were no vacancies at that time for which he qualified. Concerning the word "termination" in the letter to the Board of Review, he stated this could also mean "disqualified for position", "resigned", etc. He responded to questions concerning disciplinary action, insurance requirements, Policy GCP, the collective bargaining agreement and violation of a Board policy and/or regulation (EEB-R2).

PRESENTATION OF WITNESSES FOR APPELLANT

Witness No. 1 - Vern Moore

Direct Questioning by Appellant: Mr. Vern Moore, Executive Director, Personnel Services, testified concerning development and approval of Board policies and regulations, and said information about the number of other employees terminated due to driving records could be obtained from personnel fi1es. Cross-Examination by Respondent: Mr. Moore stated he believed language contained in 70-24-134 defining causes for termination (specifically relating to board policies and regulations), meant that an employee who violates board policies and/or regulations can be fired. I I

Redirect by Appellant: Mr. Moore responded that the specific, verbatim language from the aforementioned statute were not contained in Policy GCP. Witness No. 2 - Tyrone Moore

Direct Questioning by Appellant: Mr. Moore testified that he was hired on 12/2/82; had received one reprimand for driving performance (cited in connection with an accident); said he had signed a letter of intent to return to work in the fall of 1986; said he was given a letter by his supervisor, Norma Millsap (Respondent's Exhibit 4), and was told he was no longer employed; described his meeting with Mr. Brown; and asked to have his job back.

Cross-Examination by Respondent: Mr. Moore stated he met with Mr. Brown 2-3 days after he received the letter; explained his reckless driving conviction (original charge was "actual physical control"); and told of having filed a grievance after being accused approximately three times of speeding in a school bus. Redirect by Appellant: Mr. Moore answered questions concerning his working relationship with Mr. Brown. In response to questions from Mr. Day, Mr. Moore stated he did not receive any written notice that his employment would not be renewed; and further discussed his reckless driving conviction.

Summarized closing remarks follow: CLOSING STATEMENT BY RESPONDENT

Mr. McConnell stated this was not a termination case, but a non-renewal case; pointed out the Staff Suspension and Termination policy says the Board does "... recognize the need for a process for reprimanding, suspending, and dismissing employees who violate federal and state statutes and board policies and regulations"; that the Safe Driving Standards and Vehicular Operator Regulations stated reasons for being suspended, terminated, reassigned, or restricted from driving district vehicles; that there was substantial compliance with 70-24-113; and that Mr. Moore had been given his due process rights. CLOSING STATEMENT BY APPELLANT

Referring to the Vehicular Operator Regulations, Mr. Jenny stated he viewed part of the problem in this case was the district's practice of carrying employment contracts for support personnel over from year to year until there is a decision not to renew; suggested Policy GCP, EEB-R2 and EEB-E1 should be combined to satisfy statutory requirements. Additionally, he made statements^concerning Mr. Moore's character, and asked that he be re-employed.

LEGAL REPORT Attorney's Report

The Board's attorney, Mr. Ronald Day, of Fenton, Fenton, Smith, Reneau & Moon, reported on a current legal matter as follows:

LEGAL REPORT

Robinson vs. Oklahoma City Public Schools "The newer members of the Board may not be familiar with the case of Robinson vs. Oklahoma City Public Schools. That is a case which has been pending for some time. It involves one of our special education students. The question in the case is whether or not the district is obligated to pay for a free summer school program for that special education student. The Federal Distrcit Court ruled that the district was so obligated, and some time back the district decided to appeal that decision; briefs were filed at the Tenth Circuit level.

We've just recently received notice that the court is finally setting the case down for argument on the briefs. The Tenth Circuit scheduled argument for January 14, 1987 at 9 a.m. in Denver. At that time, each side will be given fifteen minutes to present arguments in support of their briefs and answer any questions the court might have concerning the issues raised in the briefs. It will not be necessary for district staff or personnel or board members to appear at that time. After the arguments, I anticipate we should have a decision within 60-90 days. That's the normal procedure."

SUPERINTENDENT'S REPORT

Following review, presentation of reports, and discussion, Mrs. Donwerth made a motion, which was seconded by Mrs. Floyd, for acceptance of the Superintendent's Report, Items 1-7 as shown:

’olicy CD, ream Management :or Action L2/1/86 (Cont'd)

Policy CD, Team Management (Continued) The Board and the Superintendent comprise the "policy team." The Board of Education accepts its administrators as employees with unique competencies who enjoy a collegial, non-adversarial relationship with the Board of Education, and who will be treated in accordance with their status as integral members of the management, of the school district.

Board of Education goals will be determined after district administrators have an opportunity to contribute to the establishment of those goals.

Board goals will be the guiding objectives throughout the district in the establishment of goals for all divisions, departments, schools, and individuals. The Board of Education will require the Superintendent to maintain regular, open communication on matters such as salaries, benefits, and working conditions with all administrators.

Although the Board of Education recognizes that administrators have a unique contribution to make toward the operation of the school system, the Board is the legal and final authority in all policy matters. (For Action December 1, 1986)

Mr. Dick Samples, Capital Improvements Administrator, highlighted the information contained in his formal report (copy on file in the office of the Clerk). He pointed out a change in the electricity rate structure which has had an impact on the district. Gas rates rose modestly during 1985-86. He said that fact, combined with others, helped the district to show a 21% decrease in gas cost. 1985-86 was an excellent year for water use; per pupil consumption of water was the lowest since these records have been kept (approx. 13 years). He credited the district's plumbing department for much of the savings in this area (reparing leaks). He also said the Maintenance Department mechanical crafts (steamfitting, boilers, etc.) were also contributing to the success of the energy management system. Telephone utility bills were reduced by approximately $2,740 per month, as well as approximately $1,500 in one-time rebates.

Mr. Samples stated the nuewly purchased computer energy software program would help his department achieve a goal of putting in place an incentive awards program for schools that do well in energy savings.

REMARKS SUPERINTENDENT (Conti nued)

HEARINGS Five persons addressed the Board as follows:

Lillian Norton, Horace Mann Elementary School patron, asked that Dr. Charlotte Bibb-Harrison be allowed to extend the effective date of her retirement until the end of the school year.

Charlotte Bibb-Harrison, Teacher, Horace Mann Elementary, asked that the following letter to the Board be read into the record: "I sent a letter to each Board member to directly request that my volunteer resignation due January 6, 1987 be deferred to the close of my contract, June 1, 1987. The reason for the request is simple. I have become involved with the Horace Mann school staff, and have fallen in love with the children in my second grade. I believe it would be in the students' best interest not to change the teacher in the middle of the year. I ask to be allowed to stay with them through the school term. "Shortly after school began, the staff decided to complete the effective school training by October. After the training, more and more involvement came as the mission of the school and the long range goals for the school and the students were set. District testing of the second grade students was meshed with my daily teaching, and the plans for teacher and parent involvement. I suggested that an anthology, done by the students, be produced as a fund raiser. The idea caught, and we worked hard to get the booklet ready for the October Open House. I was asked to work with the Adopt-A-School Committee, and began immediately to tap resources. My class has parent volunteers scheduled weekly for one-to-one student reading activities. The other second grade teacher, Mrs. McCarthy, and I have spent many off-contract hours developing goals and researching strategies to strengthen and expand the test scores based upon last year's results.

"All in all, under these circumstances it is very difficult for me to leave my plans and my children to someone else. Again, I wish to request that you allow me to continue to teach until the end of my contract this year. Working with these children, as seeing the children tonight, when you get there in the class with them, they win your heart. And when you become involved with planning their yearly goals you want to see them through. I could not agree with you more that students should be placed with a permanently assigned teacher. I ask that my current contract, which goes to June, 1987, that my retirement be deferred to that date." 3.

Sandra A. McCarthy, Teacher, Horace Mann Elementary School, spoke on behalf of Dr. Harrison.

Katharine Heitzke, Patron, Horace Mann School, commented on Dr. Harrison's teaching skills; asked that she be allowed to stay.

Joyce Meier, Patron, Horace Mann School, said she had a child in Dr. Harrison's class and wanted her to remain at the school.

Dr. Steller responded that a recommendation on this personnel matter could be brought back to the Board at the next regular meeting.

Mr. Hamilton offered no evidence, and did not ask witnesses to appear on his behalf.

Witnesses were excluded from the hearing until called to testify.

Opening remarks are summarized as follows:

OPENING STATEMENT BY RESPONDENT

Mr. Steward stated that administrative regulations provide that any person employed by the district who is found to have falsified their application for employment shall be recommended for immediate termination. He said Mr. Hamilton's employment application was falsified in that he answered "no" to the question asking if he had ever filed for and/or received compensation for on-the-job injuries. Two times prior to employment with the District, Mr. Hamilton had filed for and received compensation for on-the-job injuries. Mr. Steward pointed out previous employment information on Mr. Hamilton's OCPS employment application which conflicted with employers listed on Worker's Compensation claims and orders. In clarifying his position, Mr. Steward stated it was the administration's position that the alleged falsification was intentional; that had the prior Workers' Compensation information been known, the District may not have hired Mr. Hamilton, or may have hired him for some other less physically demanding job. OPENING STATEMENT BY APPELLANT

Mr. Hamilton said he had no intent to falsify his employment application for Oklahoma City Public Schools; that during that time stress from a divorce and pressure to find work in order to retain custody of his children were the reasons the application was not filled out more carefully.

PRESENTATION OF WITNESSES FOR RESPONDENT

Witness No. 1 - Roland Hamilton Mr. Hamilton testified that he had filed for and received Workers' Compensation benefits twice before being hired by the District; stated that he had previously worked for L & S Bearing Company and Allied Maintenance Corp., but had never worked for ONG. Witness No. 2 - Vern Moore

Mr. Moore responded to questions concerning Mr. Hamilton's employment application. He read the following certification from the application which was signed by Mr. Hamilton: "I hereby certify that the facts set forth in the above employment application are true and complete to the best of my knowledge. I understand that if employeed, falsified statements or failure to disclose information on this application shall be considered sufficient cause for dismissal. You are hereby authorized to make any investigation of my personal history."

There was no cross-examination by the appellant. Witness No. 3 - Pat Emery In his testimony, Mr. Emery said he had been Mr. Hamilton's supervisor; that Mr. Hamilton had filed two Worker's Compensation claims since being employed by the District; described how he became aware of Mr. Hamilton's Workers' Compensation claims prior to being hired by the District; and discussed his reason for recommending termination.

Under cross-examination, Mr. Emery responded that had he not attended Mr. Hamilton's second Workers' Compensation hearing he probably would not have learned of the previous claims.

On redirect, Mr. Emery testified that merely filing for and receiving on-the-job injury claims was not reason to recommend termination.

Mr. Emery also responded to questions from Board members and Mr. Day concerning hiring procedures, Mr. Hamilton's work history, job duties, and physical ability to do his job. He said if Mr. Hamilton's previous Workers' Compensation Information had been disclosed on his employment application, he would not have been hired for work involving lifting. Witness No. 2 - Vern Moore

Mr. Steward re-called Mr. Moore, who testified about the Significant Event Report written by Pat Emery and subsequent actions; the letter to Mr. Hamilton informing him of his recommended termination and right to appeal; and Mr. Hamilton's previous employers. Responding to questions from Mr. Prigmore, Mr. Day, and Mrs. Hermes, Mr. Moore said other than the allegations of employment application falsification, Mr. Hamilton had been a satisfactory employee; that his application contained approximately four pieces of erroneous information.

PRESENTATION OF WITNESSES FOR APPELLANT Mr. Hamilton testified that he did not know how information that he had worked for Oklahoma Natural Gas Co. (ONG) came to appear on his April 17, 1981 Workers' Compensation claim; that he made unintentional mistakes on his employment application when applying for a position with the District because of emotional stress he was experiencing at the time.

Under cross, Mr. Hamilton admitted that his application was false; that he signed the 1981 Workers' Compensation claim, certifying that all information contained in the fQrm was true and correct; and that ten months after receiving on-the-job Injury compensation, when applying for a job with the District, he did not remember the previous claims.

SPECIAL BUSINESS PRESENTATION OF WITNESSES FOR APPELLANT

Witness No. 1 - Roland Hamilton (Continued) Mr. Hamilton answered additional questions from Mr. Day concerning his ability to read and understand employment applications; the dates of his previous employment, and other.

On redirect, Mr. Hamilton said he estimated he worked for L & S Bearing from six months to one year. A synopsis of closing statements follows:

CLOSING STATEMENT BY RESPONDENT

Mr. Steward said the falsification of Mr. Hamilton's application was a fact admitted to by him, and this was just cause for recommending termination; that it was implausible that one could forget having received Workers' Compensation twice or how long one worked for previous employers. He pointed out the evidence showed that previous employment with Allied Maintenance and L & S Bearing were not listed on Mr. Hamilton's application, and these were the two companies against which he had filed for Workers' Compensation benefits. CLOSING STATEMENT BY APPELLANT

Mr. Hamilton stated he made honest mistakes on his employment application; that at the time he was only concerned about getting a stable job and obtaining custody of his children. 1. #130 EXECUTIVE SESSION APPROVED 3:50 P.M.

JPECIAL BUSINESS .EVEL III iRIEVANCE IEARING FOR â&#x20AC;&#x2122;OM IREY Continued)

The opening statements are summarized as follows: OPENING STATEMENT BY APPELLANT

Mr. DeGiusti stated on September 18, 1986 Tom Irey and Diana Faulkner were identified for administrative transfer at Moon Middle School. Level I Grievances were filed on September 23, 1986. Ms. Faulker was removed from the Level II Grievance since she had subsequently been placed back at Moon. He stated he would show that teachers were improperly identified for transfer; that seniority was ignored in their areas of certification; that the Personnel Department interpretation of the transfer language was incorrect and contrary to past similar grievances. He said the negotiated contract does not prohibit a principal from considering all of a teacher's areas of certification. OPENING STATEMENT BY RESPONDENT

Mr. McCarty stated the terms of contract were followed; that the contract does not place such an emphasis on seniority to the exclusion of the educational needs of the students, etc., and that no teachers were improperly identified for transfer. PRESENTATION OF WITNESSES FOR APPELLANT

(The provision of the contract alleged to have been violated was Article VI, Section 5; C,3, b, and e.)

Witness No. 1 - Ann Turner Ms. Turner, a member of the union's negotiating team, gave her opinion concerning the intent of the contract language being grieved. She stated that when determining where the reduction in staff can best be made, that the contract language did not limit the immediate supervisor to considering seniority in only that department. She stated that determining the grade level and/or department where the reduction in staff can best be made had nothing to do with individual teachers; that the exemption language in the contract would allow an administrator to retain a teacher who was "indispensable" because of program needs of the school, etc. i

| j | |

Witness No. 2 - Georgia Iannello Ms. Iannello testified regarding two similar grievances (Amanda June McKitrick and Dempsey Patton) where the relief sought was granted. She stated some modifications had been made to the contract since those grievances were heard (Spring, 1984). Concerning the Patton grievance, she said only his P. E. certification was compared; that after the grievance his social studies certification was also compared and he was not transferred.

Witness No. 3 - Diana Faulkner Ms. Faulkner testified concerning her identification (as a science teacher) for transfer from Moon, and subsequent reassignment back to Moon to teach Language Arts. Recess In order to allow for the Regular meeting of the Board secheduled to begin at 7:00 p.m., the Board recessed at 6:30 p.m.

Dr. Heath made the motion, seconded by Mrs. Floyd, that the Special Meeting on the Level III Grievance Hearing for Tom Irey be continued on the same date (December 1, 1986) at 9:30 p.m. On roll call the votes were as follows: Mrs. Floyd, aye; Mr. Prigmore, aye; Mrs. Hermes, aye; Dr. Heath, aye; Mr. Williams, aye; Mrs. Donwerth, aye; Mrs. Hill, aye.

SPECIAL BUSINESS LEVEL III GRIEVANCE HEARING FOR TOM IREY | (Continued)_____

PRESENTATION OF WITNESSES FOR APPELLANT (Continued)

Witness No. 4 - Tom Irey In his testimony, Mr. Irey stated that prior to his transfer to Capitol Hill High School (where he teaches math, science and biology) he taught sixth grade social studies at Moon Middle School; that he is certified to teach math, science, and social studies; was willing to teach one of those subjects at Moon. He said he believed the principal violated the contract by transferring him and allowing a less senior math teacher to remain. He said he would never have opted to discontinue teaching math and select social studies at Moon had he known it would cause his transfer based on seniority in that single department.

In response to questions from Mr. Day and various members of the Board, Mr. Irey stated he received a letter informing him that due to the reduction in personnel he would have to be transferred from Moon according to the rules of the contract; that sixth grade social studies and science were identified for reduction; that he was compared with the five other social studies teachers, and was most junior in that department. Concerning his teaching history, he said in 1976-79 he taught seventh grade science; after a two-year absence from the District he taught sixth grade science and math, beginning in 1981-82; in 1982-83 he taught eighth grade science; in 1983-84, 1984-85, and 1985-86 he taught seventh grade science; this year he was assigned to teach sixth grade social studies.

Witness No. 5 - Dwight Jones

Mr. Jones stated when making the decision about reductions in grade level and department due to lower than projected enrollment he conferred with the Director of Middle Schools and Executive Director of Personnel; that he did not consider Mr. Irey to teach in the math department; and that no exemptions were used by him in the transfer process. Mr. Jones testified concerning his interpretation of the transfer language; the reason he selected the social studies department for reduction; and recalled that he transferred three teachers from Moon during the 1985-86 school year using the same procedure he used in 1986-87. Additionally, Mr. Jones stated the basis for his decision was seniority within the Social Studies Department; that he did not compare the areas of certifications of the eight teachers in that department before looking to seniority. PRESENTATION OF WITNESSES FOR RESPONDENT

Witness No. 1 - Dwight Jones Mr. Jones testified concerning his discussions with the Director of Personnel about the transfer procedure; answered questions about the transfer process based on the contract language; said that he could not guarantee that his program would be "whole" or the program needs "protected" if he had followed the union's interpretation. He said he had conversations with two other administrators who effected transfers with a procedure consistent with his.

Mr. Day declared a recess at 10:55 p.m.

The Board reconvened at 11:05 p.m.

SPECIAL BUSINESS PRESENTATION OF WITNESSES FOR RESPONDENT

Witness No. 1 - Dwight Jones (Continued)

Following the recess, under cross-examination and redirect Mr. Jones testified the union's interpretation would "tie his hands" as an administrator because when he made a decision he would be looking at a person's areas of seniority and not necessarily the programs or the areas that were going to be reduced in order to meet student needs. Mr. Jones also responded to questions from Mr. Day and members of the Board. Summarized closing arguments follow:

CLOSING STATEMENT BY APPELLANT

E §

Mr. DeGuisti stated union's position is that certification in more than one area should be considered when comparing teachers for transfer purposes in order to identify the least senior teacher. He said that although Mr. Irey was the least senior teacher in the social studies department, he should have been allowed to teach math since there were two other teachers in that department with less seniority than he. Mr. DeGiusti said the administration's interpretation of the transfer language would discourage teachers with more than one area of certification from changing departments.

CLOSING STATEMENT BY RESPONDENT

Mr. McCarty said the contract was an attempt by both parties to protect rights; that the students and their needs come first. He said the contract guaranteed to the administration the right to protect the program focus and needs of the school. He pointed out that although the contract does not prohibit consideration of other certifications, there is no language which makes that mandatory. MOTION, DELIBERATION, AND VOTE BY THE BOARD

Copy of the return receipt for two certified letters sent to Mr. Daniel Letter from Linda Brown to Mr. Daniel dated August 21, 1986 informing him that he had been assigned to Personnel Services and to report for duty on August 26, 1986

The opening statements are summarized as follows: OPENING STATEMENT BY APPELLANT

Mr. Daniel signed a continuing contract as a vocational-agricultural teacher in July, 1982. On April 9 he received a letter (dated April 4, 1986) indicating his position had been eliminated, and that because of reduction in force he would no longer be retained as a teacher. Mr. Daniel received a letter on April 14, which was dated April 9, indicating he had been administratively transferred to another position and would be placed on a salary schedule commensurate with his certification. Some time in July Mr. Daniel discovered he was no longer being paid on 12-month salary schedule (005); but was being paid on 10-month schedule. In August he was informed he was no longer a vocational-agricultural teacher; was to consider himself a regular classroom teacher with commensurate reduction in salary. Mr. Daniel is asking to be reinstated to the 12-month vocational agricultural salary schedule; to receive pay and benefits missed as a result of administrative transfer; and that he be re-assigned as vocational-agricultural teacher based on his seniority. OPENING STATEMENT BY RESPONDENT In March 1986, the administration recommended the horticulture/grounds maintenance program at Capitol Hill High School be eliminated. On April 8, 1986 the Board voted to eliminate the program and to administratively transfer Tommie Daniel. Mr. Steward stated there was no dispute that Mr. Daniel did not receive the letter of April 4 until after the April 8 Board meeting. He said Article VI, Section 13B was irrelevant to the grievance because it dealt with reductions in force. On April 11 Mr. Daniel received a letter from Mr. Moore (dated April 9, 1986) notifying him of the administrative transfer. The grievance was not filed within the ten days of this action as required in the contract, but was filed four months later, in August. He said the grievance should be denied for not being timely filed.

Two memos from Odessa Wycoff to all vocational-agricultural teachers concerning the 1986-87 school year were sent to Mr. Daniel in error; his name should have been removed from this mailing list.

Article VI, Section 5 c., 1-6 of the agreement, which states the principal is to be the person who gives notification, admittedly was not followed because the Board's action was taken late in the evening on April 8, and the letter had to be mailed on the 9th.

Mr. Daniel has rejected an offer of full pay (previous salary schedule) for the 1986-87 school year.

SPECIAL BUSINESS LEVEL III GRIEVANCE HEARING FOR TOMMIE DANIEL

PRESENTATION OF WITNESSES FOR APPELLANT Witness No. 1 - Tommie Daniel Mr. Daniel testified concerning his employment history with the District; the correspondence he received informing him of his reassignment; his discussions and correspondence with Mr. Moore concerning his reassignment; correspondence he sent to Odessa Wycoff and her response; the summer conference for vocational teachers needed for re-certification which he did not attend because of his reassignment; and that his certification is current through the end of the 1986-87 school year. He stated he had seniority over one vo-ag teacher at Star Spencer and one at Northwest Classen. He acknowledged that the letter he received April 9 from Vern Moore made no promise that he would be assigned as a vocational-agricultural teacher.

PRESENTATION OF WITNESSES FOR RESPONDENT

Witness No. 1 - Tommie Daniel Mr. Daniel said he did not attempt to enroll in the summer conference because he believed he would not be allowed to enroll as a non-vocational teacher. He responded to other questions concerning his un-assigned status; his refusal to accept a home-base school assignment; his use of sick leave since the beginning of the 1986-87 school year until the grievance was settled.

Witness No. 2 - Linda Brown

Ms. Brown's testimony covered her August 26 meeting with Mr. Brown and other unassigned teachers; Mr. Daniel's duties as an unassigned teacher reporting to Personnel Services; and Mr. Daniel's use of sick leave, which she stated she did not authorize. Witness No. 3 - Vern Moore Mr. O'Dens objected to Mr. Moore testifying at Level III because he was not called as a witness at Level II. Mr. Day ruled to allow the respondent to call the witness; however, his testimony would be restricted to the subject areas covered at Level II. Mr. Moore stated his letter to Mr. Daniel of April 9 was received by him on April 14; that he did not authorize Ms. Brown to inform Mr. Daniel that he could use sick leave when he was not ill, nor did he personally authorize Mr. Daniel to do so; and said the contract language concerning administrative transfers related to seniority within a building site only. Additionally, he discussed differences between administrative transfers and reductions-in-force; the vocational-agricultural teacher remaining at Capitol Hill who has more seniority than Mr. Daniel (Mr. Harrell); and that Mr. Daniel's students are now being taught by Mr. Harrell.

Mr. O'Dens asked to call Mr. Aaron Harrell as a witness. Mr. Steward objected on the basis that his testimony concerning the students was not relevant. Mr. Day all wed Mr. O'Dens to call Mr. Harrell in rebuttal and to restrict the line of questioning exclusively towards the purported impeachment of Mr. Moore's testimony.

.EVEL III GRIEVANCE iEARING FOR rOMMIE DANIEL (Conti nued)

A synopsis of closing statements follows:

CLOSING STATEMENT BY APPELLANT

Mr. O'Den's said there was a question as to whether this case was an administrative transfer or a reduction-in-force; that Mr. Daniel should be returned to his position and compensated at his former rate of pay; suggested that if a reduction-in-force did take place, Mr. Daniel was entitled to exercise his district seniority; if it was an administrative transfer, the respondent violated the contract and the Board should grant the relief sought. CLOSING STATEMENT BY RESPONDENT Mr. Steward stated the Board should decide in the Administration's favor because of undisputed testimony that on April 14 Mr. Daniel received written notice of his administrative transfer and he did not file his grievance until August 8. He reviewed each allegation of contract violation listed in the grievance; said the Board voted on April 8 to eliminate the program Mr. Daniel taught and to administratively transfer him; and that Mr. Daniel's salary had not, in effect, been reduced because of previous offers by Administration to pay him at his previous rate. He said in order to grant all the relief sought, the Board would have to re-establish the program at Capitol Hill High School.

MOTION, DELIBERATION AND VOTE BY THE BOARD

Mr. Day commented regarding state statutes as related to this case. With Board President Hill presiding, Mrs. Donwerth made the motion, seconded by Mrs. Hermes, "that although we cannot grant the relief sought and re-open any program that this Board felt should be closed because of the budget situation, that we offer Mr. Daniel his salary for a year (at the same rate) as we have in the past, pending (his accepting) a position with the Oklahoma City School District similar to (what he has been offered)".

Mrs. Hill declared a recess at 9:00 p.m. to allow Mrs. Donwerth time to re-state her motion. The Board reconvened at 9:07 p.m.

The opening statements are summarized as follows:

OPENING STATEMENT BY APPELLANT

In March 1986, the administration recommended the horticulture/grounds maintenance program at Capitol Hill High School be eliminated. On April 8, 1986 the Board voted to eliminate the program and to administratively transfer Tommie Daniel. Mr. Steward stated there was no dispute that Mr. Daniel did not receive the letter of April 4 until after the April 8 Board meeting. He said Article VI, Section 13B was irrelevant to the grievance because it dealt with reductions in force. On April 11 Mr. Daniel received a letter from Mr. Moore (dated April 9, 1986) notifying him of the administrative transfer. The grievance was not filed within the ten days of this action as required in the contract, but was filed four months later, in August. He said the grievance should be denied for not being timely filed. Two memos from Odessa Wycoff to all vocational-agricultural teachers concerning the 1986-87 school year were sent to Mr. Daniel in error; his name should have been removed from this mailing list.

SPECIAL BUSINESS LEVEL III GRIEVANCE HEARING FOR TOMMIE DANIEL

PRESENTATION OF WITNESSES FOR APPELLANT

Witness No. 1 - Tommie Daniel Mr. Daniel testified concerning his employment history with the District; the correspondence he received informing him of his reassignment; his discussions and correspondence with Mr. Moore concerning his reassignment; correspondence he sent to Odessa Wycoff and her response; the summer conference for vocational teachers needed for re-certification which he did not attend because of his reassignment; and that his certification is current through the end of the 1986-87 school year. He stated he had seniority over one vo-ag teacher at Star Spencer and one at Northwest Classen. He acknowledged that the letter he received April 9 from Vern Moore made no promise that he would be assigned as a vocational-agricultural teacher. PRESENTATION OF WITNESSES FOR RESPONDENT

Witness No. 1 - Tommie Daniel

Mr. Daniel said he did not attempt to enroll in the summer conference because he believed he would not be allowed to enroll as a non-vocational teacher. He responded to other questions concerning his un-assigned status; his refusal to accept a home-base school assignment; his use of sick leave since the beginning of the 1986-87 school year until the grievance was settled.

Witness No. 2 - Linda Brown

Mr. Moore stated his letter to Mr. Daniel of April 9 was received by him on April 14; that he did not authorize Ms. Brown to inform Mr. Daniel that he could use sick leave when he was not ill, nor did he personally authorize Mr. Daniel to do so; and said the contract language concerning administrative transfers related to seniority within a building site only. Additionally, he discussed differences between administrative transfers and reductions-in-force; the vocational-agricultural teacher remaining at Capitol Hill who has more seniority than Mr. Daniel (Mr. Harrell); and that Mr. Daniel's students are now being taught by Mr. Harrell. Mr. O'Dens asked to call Mr. Aaron Harrell as a witness. Mr. Steward objected on the basis that his testimony concerning the students was not relevant. Mr. Day all wed Mr. O'Dens to call Mr. Harrell in rebuttal and to restrict the line of questioning exclusively towards the purported impeachment of Mr. Moore's testimony. Mr. Steward objected further that Mr. Harrell had been present during testimony of the other witnesses when the rule had been invoked.

Witness No. 4 - Aaron Harrell

LEGAL AND FINANCIAL REPORTS Attorney's Report

ATTORNEY'S REPORT

The Board's attorney, Mr. Ronald Day, of Fenton, Fenton, Smith, Reneau & Moon, reported on current legal matters as follows: OESCO vs. 1-89 "You'll recall approximately two years ago the Oklahoma Electrical Supply Company submitted bids and was awarded contracts on four separate packages of electrical improvement projects within the Distirct. The company, OESCO, completed those projects in accordance with the terms of the contract and they were paid all sums stipulated in the contract. About one year after the projects were completed, the contractor (OESCO) submitted a request to the Board of Education for change orders totalling approximately $96,000. These change orders were for alleged 'extra work' they had done. They were not specifically called for in the contract, but which they contend were required. The Board requested a legal opinion, and after due consideration decided to reject the claim on the basis that the contract documents stated that any change orders must be submitted to the Board and approved before the work was done. Also, there was an indication that the alleged 'extra work' was actually called for by the contract.

"We have recently learned that OESCO has now filed a lawsuit in the District Court of Oklahoma County. They have sued the School District, the School Board and the Project Engineer. They are seeking to recover approximately $103,000 for the alleged extra work they did for breach of contract. They are also seeking court costs and attorney fees. Since this is an action for the alleged breach of a construction contract, it does not appear to be covered under the District's liability insurance. Therefore, this appears to be a case that the District will be required to defend Itself.

"I was informed by Mr. Shepard this afternoon that the summons was served in the case. That means the Board and the District will have 20 days within which to file their answer in District Court. We will docket the case for an answer date after the first of the year and continue to protect the interests of the Board and the District."

Mr. Day recommended an Executive Session (at the end of the meeting) for confidential communications with the Board concerning the Randy Robinson case pending before the Tenth Circuit.

(b)

District Profile

Mr. John Fink, Research Associate, Planning, Research & Evaluation Department, reviewed the new statistical profile report which gives demographic information about the students in the district. He said the profile resulted from the need of many central office and school personnel who have to respond to a variety of questions about the school system. He said one important application of the data will be for goal setting and long-range planning. Next year, the format will change somewhat, as data will also be arranged topi cally. (c)

Administrative Seminar/Intern Program Implementation Mr. Vern Moore, Executive Director of Personnel Services, reviewed the proposed revisions to the regulations governing the administrative intern program.

District Profile Report

Administrative Seminar/Intern Program Implementati on

Responding to questions from Board members, Mr. Moore stated that 12 administrative interns will be placed in assignments for the 1986-87 spring semester (to phase out the previous program begun in 1979). He said that after this spring, it is the intent of the program that interns will be placed in one assignment only for an entire school year. He also explained how interns will obtain experience at the elementary level, fifth year level, etc. (d)

Reducing Truancy Dr. Betty Mason, Assistant Superintendent, Instruction & Related Services, reported that she and Dr. Lessie LeSure, Coordinator, Student Transfer Office, have worked with representatives from the District Attorney's office to discuss ways they would support the School District's efforts to get students who are not enrolled back in school. Dr. LeSure explained the four-step proposed process for reclaiming/ contacting truant students, those who have dropped out, etc., as follows:

The Attendance Office will send an intitial letter of contact to the parents' home.

Special Reports (d)

Reducing Truancy (Continued)

If no response is received within a 5-day period, a Campus Police Officer will be dispatched to hand-deliver the letter.

If there is still no response, the District Attorney's office asks that the District make a referral to their office outlining all the actions the District has taken to try to make contact with the family. The District Attorney's office will then send a letter of referral to the parent(s) stating to them the law, the penalties for breaking the law, and other.

If there is no response, the School District will have to file formal action; however, prosecution will be the last resort.

Dr. LeSure said every effort will be made to help students who are located and re-enrolled in school readjust to the educational environment. Dr. Stell er added that if large numbers of students are brought back into the schools some kind of special counseling program may need to be developed. Mrs. Hermes suggested that community resources (volunteers) be used to help facilitate smoother en-entry into school; that it may be helpful for a student to receive counseling from someone of his/her own ethnic background. Dr. LeSure estimated she had received 60-75 telephone calls since August about students who are not attending school. Mrs. Hill suggested that parents should be requested to respond to letters from the Attendance Office within 24 hours.

Willard School

Dr. Steller introduced Mr. John Butchee, Director of Elementary Schools Division B, to report on items 5 and 6, recommendations which would allow the District to expend funds on Willard School in order that it could temporarily be used for educational purposes until the end of the 1986-87 school year and then closed prior to the 1987-88 school year. Dr. Steller pointed out that the building already meets the criteria for closing under the proposed policy. Mr. Butchee reviewed events leading to the recommendations as stated (the Fire Marshall's inspection and subsequent meetings with staff and parents). Dr. Jack Isch, Director of Service Center Operations, reported that repairs to bring Willard School into compliance with fire codes would cost approximately $327,000. Alvin Owens, Principal, Willard School, discussed feedback he had received from parents and staff.

Mr. Mike Gassaway, attorney, spoke on behalf of the Willard Neighorhood Association. He stated the group supported item 5 and opposed item 6; said that closing the school would be potentially damaging to all concerned; discussed the demographics of the Willard neighborhood; and asked that the school be allowed to remain open. Mr. Bobby Bighorse, Willard patron, asked that item 5 be approved, but that the school remain open for an indefinite period of time. closing Willard could create hardships for the families.

He said

Ms. Sue Ingle, Patron, thanked the Board and administration for

allowing the parents to have input into the decisions concerning Willard School. She said the Willard patrons will be hurt by the closing of the school.

Mr. Harold Bendle, Patron, spoke about the Willard Neighborhood Association's desire to keep their school open.
